What is a mala? Some people say it is simply used for counting while others feel it is a significant tool that can deepen one’s spiritual practice. A mala is a string of prayer beads traditionally used in Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism to count the recitations of mantras, prayers, or sacred phrases during meditation or spiritual practice. A mala often consists of 108 beads with a larger 109th bead known as the guru bead. The guru bead is not counted but represents the divine teacher. A mala can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, seeds, gemstones, bone, and precious metals, with specific materials often holding spiritual significance for the user. I make malas using primarily gemstone beads with other materials often incorporated into the final design. You can see more at www.indigoandether.etsy.com.

The symbol of the skull has significant meaning across many different faiths and cultures. It can represent anything from mortality to deep spiritual and philosophical concepts. While often symbolizing death or decay, the skull is also revered as a symbol of protection, power, wisdom, and the cyclical nature of existence.

• In Hinduism, the skull represents detachment, asceticism, and the transcendence of ego.
• In Buddhism, particularly in Tibetan traditions, the skull symbolizes impermanence and the transient nature of life.
• Ancient Egyptian culture considers the skull a symbol of divine power over life and death, as well as wisdom and knowledge.
• In Celtic traditions, the skull is viewed as the seat of the soul and power.
• Among the Aztecs, the skull symbolizes not only death but also regeneration, rebirth, and the beginning of a new dawn.
• In Christian iconography, the skull symbolizes humanity’s fall and the redemption through Christ’s sacrifice, often depicted alongside saints as a reminder of spiritual transcendence.
• In modern Western culture, the skull has evolved into a symbol of rebellion, personal power, and courage.
• Across many cultures, the human skull’s resemblance to the human face triggers deep psychological recognition, making it a potent symbol that evokes both fear and fascination, while also serving as a reminder to live with purpose and gratitude.

Any way you look at it, the skull as a symbolic image goes much deeper than just modern Halloween mayhem.

Have you heard about Reiki? Ever experienced Reiki? I have been practicing Reiki for over 20 years. I have always taken the Reiki healing experience on faith, based on what my clients and I have both felt during and after a session. But I'm really excited to see that some studies are being done now and they are revealing more formal evidence of what Reiki can do to help people!

The crown chakra, also known as Sahasrara in Sanskrit, is the seventh and highest chakra in the body's energy system, located at the top of the head. It is associated with spiritual connection, higher consciousness, and a sense of unity with the universe. When balanced, it allows individuals to experience a deep sense of purpose, wisdom, and connection to something greater than themselves. The crown chakra is often represented by a thousand-petal lotus, symbolizing the expansion of spiritual awareness. It plays a crucial role in connecting the physical body to the divine, facilitating enlightenment and a deeper understanding of life's mysteries. The Crown chakra Reiki candles that I make are charged with specific intention to strengthen and heal the Crown chakra to help the recipient of the energy cultivate higher awareness, expand spiritually, and strengthen their connection with the Divine.

I can't believe Fall is just around the corner already! Here's my list of events coming up over the next few months. This coming Friday, September 12th, will be my last time for this season at Gifford Park Neighborhood Market. But after that, I hit the ground running with fun events scheduled out through the end of November. Mark your calendars and come out to say hi!

More new items! I will be bringing these soaps to Midwest Conjurefest this coming Saturday along with this year's limited edition Skull candle. These soaps look really cool but they were also made under the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse that happened on Sept 7th which means they are all charged up with the intention of releasing karmic debts, closing old cycles that no longer serve you, and allowing new transformative energy in to guide you into your future. I only have 12! Come see me on Saturday!

Save the date for Midwest Conjurefest coming up on September 14th from noon to 6 pm! There will be food, live music, a variety of readers, and fabulous vendors. Come say hi and see my new products, including this year's limited edition Skull candle. I have 12 this year and when they're gone, they're gone. The scent is a fresh, slightly masculine blend of fresh cedar, foresty pine, and earthy moss that I am calling "Six Feet Under".
