Teeny tiny sandalwood beads are paired with the most sublime pale peach aventurine faceted rondelles, accented with gold filled beads, and finished with a golden Buddha.
Peach aventurine is a stone to transcend the mundane. It helps us tap into our creative flow, builds confidence, opens us up to the divine, and helps us to connect our dreams to reality.
Known for its heady, soothing aroma and its calm, meditative energy, sandalwood promotes spiritual awareness and is a favorite of meditators, shamans, and seekers.
While this doesn’t follow the traditional format of a mala, it is encoded with magic + meaning nonetheless. Specifically magic of the divine feminine.
To me, the divine feminine is creativity and intuition. She is nurturance. She is being rather than doing. She is connection. She is embodied experience.
Each sandalwood section is composed of 13 tiny beads, 13 being the number of the divine feminine, 13 moon cycles in a year.
Trifectas of peach aventurine represent the triple goddess of maiden - mother - crone.
Single aventurines are the oneness that connects us all.
And even the divine masculine makes an appearance by way of the Buddha amulet. To me, the Buddha is a beautiful reminder of the inner peace that is available to us all regardless of outer circumstance.
While it's, in spirit, a homage to the divine feminine, it's also about integrating both the masculine and the feminine.
