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 the 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 chosen to use 100% Rose Quartz, including a couple of unusual Hand Carved Rose beads to add that something special. 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.
Including a touch of silver tone to the design adds another dimension to the piece. This colour symbolizes the moon, divine feminine energy, intuition, reflection, purity, and protection, acting as a bridge between physical and spiritual realms, enhancing psychic abilities, balancing emotions, and deflecting negativity.
While 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. Simple yet complex. Very powerful healing!
This is my interpretation of this Necklace, however: The Greater Guide is Within
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.
The necklace is 36" total length (92cms), length of the pendant element is 7cms x 4.5cms. Weight: 80grms. This Affirmation Mala will be supplied in a presentation box, with a printout of my interpretation for this particular piece and, guidance for its use. Enjoy!
