Look at this magick, y’all. I spent a good portion of my afternoon packaging up my Shakti Goddess Yoni Steam to send to all kinds of empresses and queens out there. Y’all should know I took frequent break bursts while doing so to twirl and soar and swirl around my temple to the Xanadu soundtrack (Ms Olivia Newton-John and her Magic all up in the house)- so a lot of joy was present in the charging up of this batch- get you some of that, in my shop always: www.shaktistudios.etsy.com or visit link in bio 😘 ✨✨✨✨✨

RHODONITE: A gemstone that vibrates with compassion, passion, love, and grace. Aligns with both the Root Chakra and the Heart Chakra, and is thought to be a wonderful gemstone for those who are doing work on healing the connection between sexuality and emotions. This is a beautiful Rhodonite specimen, a huge palm sized gemstone, that also stands on it's own. This gorgeous stone measures 63mm by 60mm by 44mm and weighs a whopping 13.3 ounces (377 grams)! This would make a wonderful stone for employing in massage, energy work, ceremony and intentional work, as a crystal grid anchor stone, etc. This gorgeous stone will come to you carefully wrapped, and is prepared in my temple space with a good clearing smudge and loving intent.

A scene from an excellent experimental film installation, 'She Gone Rogue'. This scene features the Whoracle of Delphi (played by Vaginal Davis). Steeped in avant-garde atmosphere. I thought it was fucking fantastic. (at Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University)
