The rose has long been revered as a symbol of the sacred feminine. The “Way of the Rose", in connection with Mary Magdalene, refers to a spiritual path emphasizing the divine feminine, particularly through the symbolism of the rose and its association with Mary Magdalene. The delicate petals, vibrant colours, and sweet fragrance of the Rose reflect its beauty, love, and grace, while its thorns remind us of the need for boundaries and protection. Throughout history, the rose has been associated with goddesses and divine figures like Isis, Hathor, Mother Mary, as well as Mary Magdalene, priestesses who embody wisdom, strength, and compassion. This path draws from these various traditions, including ancient Egyptian and Celtic lore. The path centres around practices like prayer, meditation, and embodiment of feminine wisdom, seen as a way to connect with the sacred feminine to find healing and initiate one's transformation.
Rose Quartz brings the Light! I have used the Beautiful Rose Quartz as the main inspiration of this 108 Bead Mala. Finished with a beautiful 30mm Hand Craved Rose in Rose Quartz. The crystal of unconditional love and infinite peace said to purify the heart at all levels and is believed to bring deep inner healing and self-love which then in turn, draws loving relationships toward you. I have also chosen to include Cherry Blossom Jasper crystals for their wonderful pink energy. This crystal’s spiritual meaning also revolves around love, compassion and emotional healing, it brings a nurturing energy, promotes balance, inner peace and transformation, a crystal for personal growth.
For this piece I wanted to bring in the energy of Gold therefore I have used beautiful soft golden glass pearls, lifting the Mala to another level I feel.
Gold and pink, a match made in heaven. Gold adds a vitality to the necklace. Gold symbolizes purity, divinity, permanence, and prosperity, and is often associated with the sun, immortality, and enlightenment. Spiritually, pink represents unconditional love, compassion, kindness, and inner peace. It is associated with the Heart Chakra which acts as a bridge between physical and spiritual energy, signifying a balance between the material and spiritual worlds. Pink also symbolizes friendship, harmony, and self-love. Very powerful healing!
This handmade 108 bead Affirmation Mala is not only a very desirable thing of great beauty, but also spiritual tool. Holding crystals or placing them on your body is thought to promote physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Crystals supposedly do this by positively interacting with your body's energy field, or chakras, channelizing your energy levels, thereby, focus on healing your body from the inside. Stones and especially Crystals, bring a soothing vibration which calms the brain and nervous system and aligns the physical body with the etheric, maintaining optimum health. Hold the necklace during prayer, meditation or in contemplation to connect with these deep, hidden aspects of the self.
This is my interpretation of this Necklace, however:
