Moqui Balls, also known as Shaman Stones or Moqui Marbles, are formed from sandstone and iron oxide and found primarily in the deserts of the American Southwest. Their name reflects the heritage of Hopi Native American tribe and the word means "departed ones" in their language. According to legend, the ancestors would play with these stones in the spirit world at night and leave them behind as a sign of their presence to their loved ones.

Every year on November 11th (11/11), a powerful energetic gateway opens - a cosmic alignment that invites us to step into higher consciousness, deep healing, and rapid manifestation. The energy of this sacred day amplifies our connection to the divine, serving as a reminder that we are infinite beings capable of creating our reality through thought, vibration, and intention!
In numerology, the number 11 is an angel number - the vibration of spiritual awakening, divine intuition, and soul alignment. It is the mirror of balance between the physical and the spiritual, the seen and unseen. When this number doubles, as it does on 11/11, its power magnifies - opening a portal of ascension energy that allows us to connect with our higher selves, align with our soul purpose, and manifest our highest timelines.
11:11 often appears as a sign from the universe - a divine nudge that you are on the right path, aligned with your purpose, and being supported by unseen forces. Today, that energy is amplified, offering us a chance to consciously co-create with the Universe.
Here are some simple yet profound ways to connect with today’s gateway energy and use it for your highest good:
1. Set Intentions from the Heart
Take a few moments to sit in stillness and ask yourself: What do I truly desire to create or experience next? Write your intentions down in present tense - as if they are already your reality. Speak them aloud. Feel the emotion of already living that dream. Emotion is the magnetic force that activates manifestation.
2. Meditate and Visualize Your Highest Self
During meditation, imagine a radiant golden, white light pouring through your Crown Chakra, flowing through your entire being. See yourself surrounded by pure love and divine support. This light carries the frequency of your highest potential - allow it to guide and expand you.
3. Ground and Balance Your Energy
As the energies today are very high-vibrational, it’s important to stay grounded. Spend time in nature, connect with Source, or hold grounding crystals like Black Tourmaline or Hematite. Balance between spirit and earth brings harmony and stability.
4. Acts of Compassion and Collective Healing
The 11/11 portal isn’t just about personal ascension - it’s about raising the vibration of the collective. Share kindness, forgiveness, and compassion. Every loving act you offer ripples outward, sending love and light into the Universe.
5. Trust and Allow
Once you’ve set your intentions and aligned your energy, release control. Trust that the Universe is already working in your favor. Miracles unfold when we surrender with faith and openness.
Today’s portal is an opportunity to embody your light, remember your divine essence, and activate new frequencies of awareness. It’s a moment to step into higher alignment - where your thoughts, words, and actions harmonize with the love of your higher self.
Let 11/11 remind you that you are a divine light, fully supported by universal energy. Use this day to dream boldly, love deeply, and shine unapologetically. Together, through conscious awareness and compassion, we can raise the vibration of the collective and bring in the light. May your intentions manifest with ease and grace and in perfect harmony with your highest good!
Souls believed to have originated from other star systems, dimensions, or planets, and who have incarnated on Earth to assist in the awakening of humanity are known as Starseeds. They may have lived many lifetimes among the stars before starting their mission on Earth. Starseeds choose to incarnate here on Earth for a higher purpose to assist in the awakening of humanity and to raise the vibrational frequency of Earth.
In her book, Letters to a Starseed: Messages and Activations for Remembering Who You Are and Why You Came Here, Rebecca Campbell reflects on what it means to be a Starseed.
"Starseeds know that they're part of something bigger than them and that everything is interconnected. They've woken up to the fact that we're not the center of the Universe, that Life exists beyond our limited idea of it, and that we're connected to all of Life, both on this planet and in the entire Universe."
Common Characteristics of Starseeds
If you've ever felt "different" from those around you, more spiritually sensitive, or feel drawn to a higher purpose, you may be a Starseed. These are some characteristics that typically resonate with Starseeds.
Starseed Lineages
Numerous star systems are believed to be home to advanced civilizations, each carrying unique energetic imprints and missions. These lineages offer a framework for understanding one's soul origin, purpose, and the higher-dimensional wisdom they bring to Earth.
Below are some of the more well-known starseed lineages. Explore each one and see which resonates with your soul. We've included the ideal crystal ally to deepen your connection with that lineage.
Pleiadian
Arcturian
Sirian
Andromedan
Lyran
Orion
Mintakan
Venusian
Whether to heal, teach, innovate, or simply raise the vibration, Starseeds are here to help awaken humanity. They act as bridges between worlds, recalling ancient wisdom, and inspire others to reconnect with their divine nature.
If you've connected with a lineage that resonates with your soul, Rebecca Campbell offers a Starseed Activation in her book, Letters from a Starseed: Messages and Activations for Remembering Who You Are and Why You Came Here. You can also check out her oracle card deck, The Starseed Oracle, to deep your connection to your soul mission and for guidance.
I am ready to remember my personal and collective soul mission.
I am ready to seed what I came here to share.
I am ready to surrender to my unfolding path.
I am ready to transition from competition to collaboration.
I am ready to fully plant myself here.
I am ready to unlock any forgotten wisdom and
soul gifts.

Halloween traditions are rooted in the ancient Celts celebration called Samhain (pronounced sow-win). The Celts divided their year into light (Summer) and dark (Winter) and on this particular date they celebrated their harvest, hard work, and prepared for the coming months. They also believed the veil between the worlds of the living and dead were thinnest during this time and spirits walked amongst them. They took measures to ward off low lying spirits and made offerings to the spirits of their visiting ancestors.
This is the season to acknowledge the unseen, to honor our ancestors, and to recognize the rhythms of Mother Earth. It's possible we're more sensitive or vulnerable to these energetic shifts during this time of year as the flow of communication between the realms is easier and more transparent. This makes it a powerful time to utilize this energy for further spiritual exploration. Here are some of our favorite ways to deepen our connection to the magic this time of year.
1. Cleanse and Reset Your Space
Energetically cleanse your home to invite in clarity and peace.
Use Sage or Cedar for a deep smudge to remove stagnant energy.
Essential oils like Mugwort (do not use if pregnant or nursing), Rosemary, or Clary Sage help ground and purify your space while enhancing focus and intuition.
Try adding 1–3 drops to a diffuser first thing in the morning for a refreshing start.
2. Create a Crystal Grid for Protection and Power
Build a crystal grid to align with seasonal energy. Crystals that shine this time of year:
A crystal skull makes a powerful centerpiece, while carvings such as bats, spiders, or crows deepen connections with their spiritual symbolism.
3. Illuminate the Longer Nights
Bring warmth and comfort into your space with the soft glow of candles. The flicker of light reminds us that even in darkness, our inner flame remains bright.
4. Honor Your Ancestors
Create an ancestor altar to celebrate those who came before you.
Include:
Offer blessings and prayers, keeping the altar cleansed and filled with gratitude.
5. Connect Through Writing
Write letters to loved ones who have passed, expressing memories or messages of love. Add them to your altar or burn them during a fire ceremony as an offering of release and connection.
6. Reflect Through Dreams
Your dream world may be more vivid right now — keep a dream journal by your bed.
Even a few words or a feeling jotted down upon waking can reveal deep insight over time.
7. Strengthen Intuition with Divination
Work with tools such as:
These help open the Third Eye Chakra and strengthen your intuitive connection.
Always cleanse your tools, ground your energy, and close your practice with gratitude.

Black Obsidian Mirrors are powerful scrying tools that deepen your communication with the spirit realm and enhance your psychic abilities. They are believed to be direct portals into the spiritual world where messages may be revealed to you. Use them to communicate with ancestors and journey into your past lives.

We love working with oracle cards for intuitive guidance, inner clarity, and to connect with our Higher Self and/or spirit guides! Each deck we use carries its own energy, wisdom, and personality. Sometimes we find working with spreads (using an expressed intention for pulling and arranging of each card) can bring even deeper messages and inspiration. Here are some of our favorite spreads for various intentions for deeper self-discovery.
1. Select Your Deck: Choose a card deck that resonates with you. There are many different decks available, each with its own theme, art, and messages. Look for one that resonates with you interests, beliefs, or spiritual path.
2. Set Your Intention: Before you begin, take a moment to set your intention for the spread. This could be a question you want guidance on, a specific area of your life you want insight into, or simply a desire to connect with your intuition and higher wisdom.
3. Clear the Deck: Tap the deck (we like to tap three times) to clear the energy of the deck. You can also use cleansing smoke or a Selenite wand to cleanse and recharge the deck.
4. Shuffle the Cards: Shuffle the deck while focusing on your intention. You can shuffle them in any way that feels comfortable to you. Sometimes a card will jump out, and we believe that message is for you!
5. Draw a Card: When you feel ready, draw cards for your spread. Trust your intuition to guide you in selecting the right card!

Even crystals created through scientific innovation can have powerful properties. Terahertz is composed of silica, formed by extracting quartz or silica from grains of sand. It emits terahertz waves that prevent mental fatigue, increase mental clarity, and stimulate physical vigor. Its unique frequency is associated with balance, alignment, and transformation.
Terahertz's high thermal conductivity, which can even melt ice, stimulates energy flow in the body, gives you a boost, and increases your overall energy levels. It is ideal for those seeking focus, drive, and forward movement in their lives. Carry a Terahertz palm stone with you at work, school, or whenever you need renewed motivation.
Terahertz stimulates the Root Chakra and shields against low lying energies and electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs). If you're experiencing feelings of restlessness, anxiety, or insecurity, it's possible your Root Chakra is blocked or out of alignment. Terahertz can improve maintenance of the Root Chakra, keeping you grounded and feeling secure. As modern technology continues to expand so does our exposure to electromagnetic radiation, which some believe can disrupt the body's energy field. EMFs are emitted by electronic devices such as cell phones, WiFi routers, and computers. Terahertz acts as a natural filter, shielding EMFs before they reach the human body.
Allow Terahertz natural frequencies inspire vitality, focus, and a deeper sense of alignment in your life!

Tea Tree, (Melaleuca alternifolia) known for its crisp aroma, has a wide range of benefits. It has a distinctive medicinal scent that can soften when blended with oils such as Vetiver, Lavender, or citrus oils. It is native to Australia and has been used for centuries by the Aboriginal people. The water resistant bark was used to make canoes, knife sheaths, and shelters. The oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the tree, which is found in warm, swampy regions.
Therapeutic & Energetic Qualities
Tea Tree is a natural anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and antimicrobial. It can support your immune system and relieve chest tension during times of illness. Tea Tree can soothe irritated skin, such as bug bites. It has also been added to shampoos to help with dandruff and irritated scalps. Tea Tree helps relieve mental fatigue and bolster emotional confidence while also grounding your energy and connecting to your Root Chakra.
How to Incorporate Tea Tree into Your Daily Routine
Supplies Needed
1. Add 10 drops of Pink Grapefruit, 10 drops of Eucalyptus, & 10 drops of Tea Tree (30 drops total) to your empty oil bottle. This will be your stock bottle.
2. Fill a bowl or mug halfway with steaming hot water (not boiling!).
3. Add 1-2 drops of oils from your stock bottle to the steaming water. No more than 2! If you accidentally add more than 2, start over.
4. With your eyes closed (never open them over the steam!), lean over the bowl/mug and breathe in steam. You can use an eye mask if you'd like. It's okay if you cough or need to blow your nose. If you feel comfortable, you can place the towel over your head. Continue to breathe in steam for all long as you feel comfortable or steam subsides.
The cooled off water can be passively diffused in your space. Do not ingest it or reheat it. Once you feel a cold coming on, try steaming 3-5 times for the first few days. This is not recommended for children under the age of 12.
Tea Tree is a staple in our aromatherapy toolkit! Use it year round to freshen your home environment, support your immune system, and improve your emotional strength and resolve. We love the notes is adds to our Root Chakra Roller Blend and Earth Cold Process Soap.
The Medicine Wheel (sometimes called the Sacred Hoop) is an ancient and sacred symbol used by many Indigenous tribes, signifying health, healing, wholeness, and balance. The four quadrants represent the spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional planes of existence, as well as the four sacred medicines: Tobacco, Sage, Cedar, and Sweetgrass. This energy embodies the four directions, along with Father Sky, Mother Earth, and the Spirit Tree, all of which symbolize the dimensions of health and the cycles of life.
Each quadrant is traditionally associated with a color—black (west), red (south), yellow (east), and white (north). The circle itself represents wholeness, eternity, and the continuous flow of life’s cycles. It serves as a sacred reminder that everything is connected. Medicine Wheels may appear as artwork (such as those painted on drums or canvases, like the beautiful pieces shared here by Lakota elder, Mr. Charging Crow) or as physical constructions, and are used in teachings, ceremonies, and personal practice. While specific teachings vary among Indigenous communities, the central theme remains the same: the Medicine Wheel represents balance, healing, and the relationship between the natural and spiritual worlds.
In Western culture, the word medicine usually refers to pharmaceuticals, treatments, or interventions used to address disease or illness—something external that restores the body’s health. In Indigenous traditions, medicine carries a broader and deeper meaning. It encompasses spiritual power, wisdom, and the natural forces that sustain life. Medicine can be found in plants, rocks, animals, songs, ceremonies, dreams, and relationships. A person’s medicine may refer to their unique gifts, strengths, or teachings. Thus, the Medicine Wheel is not merely a tool for physical healing, but a sacred symbol of the interconnected medicines of life itself.
As many as 150 Medicine Wheel constructions have been identified across North America. The best-known in the United States is the Bighorn Medicine Wheel, located near the crest of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming. It consists of a circular pattern of stones approximately 80 feet in diameter, with a central cairn and 28 spokes connecting to the outer rim. Its exact age is uncertain—estimates range from several hundred to 3,000 years old. Aligned with the solstices and key celestial events, including the summer solstice and the rising points of significant stars, it continues to serve as a place of prayer and offering.
How to Use a Medicine Wheel
The medicine wheel can be used in a variety of ways, depending on tradition and personal practice.
When working with the Medicine Wheel, it’s important to approach it with respect and awareness. These teachings originate from Indigenous cultures and should be honored as such. Whenever possible, learning directly from knowledge keepers or elders is the best way to deepen your understanding. We are deeply grateful to our dear friend and Lakota elder, Mr. Charging Crow, for sharing his wisdom with us.
The medicine wheel is more than a symbol-it reminds us that true wellness comes from honoring all part of ourselves and our places in the world. By embracing its teachings of balance, respect, and interconnectedness, we are reminded that our well-being is tied to Mother Earth, to each other, and to the cycles of life itself.

Here are our favorite scents that evoke Autumn and bring in warmth, grounding, and comfort. Each scent supports transformation and helps ease seasonal shifts with steady, nurturing energy.
