FRIDA GODDESS NECKLACES

FRIDA GODDESS NECKLACES

Frida number 1

Sold. Thank you Ron

Right off the bat, I want to thank Francie of Art in the Hermitage, for suggesting that I create a Frida Goddess necklace. I thought about it and decided that since I’ve painted her so many times and even sculpted her, I could certainly turn her image into a necklace.

Frida necklaces number 1 and 2

Frida Shown On My Kitchen Wall

For those or you who don’t know who Frida is, you can visit my blog post called,Frida Kahlo. There I tell a bit about the life of this spicy Mexican icon. I tried to make the necklaces and pin as colorful as possible to reflect that life.

Since I think these are going to be pretty popular, I have made 2 necklaces and 1 pin for sale. I used a combination of antique flowers and junk jewelry for the base and old necklaces from India.

Frida number 1

I’ve combined old jewelry and new. Notice the antique flowers and the old flower button. She is 3"wx5”h with a 12" drop on the necklace. Price: $85.00

THE TRIPLE GODDESS: MAIDEN, MOTHER AND CRONE

She Who Follows the Path of the Ancient Mystery Schools' Shown in Hand to Represent Size

The concept of the Triple Goddess, Maiden, Mother and Crone, can be found in the mythology of all lands. Each stage of her life symbolizes a separate stage in the female life cycle. The number three is evoked with powerful religious and cultural symbolism.

Full Shot

I like to think that when I create my Crone Ceremonial Necklaces, I embody each one of them with all three aspects of the triple Goddess. It’s interesting that when you look at some women, you can see just that. The innocent maiden, waiting for life to happen, the powerfully strong mother and a glimpse at the wisdom the crone brings to her life. In ‘She Who Follows the Path of the Ancient Mystery Schools, I believe all three are represented.

I am offering her at $95.00 She is 3 ½ h ” x 2 ½ “ w and has a necklace span at approx 13”. Please e-mail me if you are interested in ‘She Who Follows the Path of the Ancient Mystery Schools,’ and we can go from there. I am happy to ship anywhere in the world. She can also be seen and purchased on Etsy Thanks so much for your consideration.

The Crone Goddess Necklace

Sold. Thank you Connie!

Second in my Goddess Ceremonial crone series is this stately, elegant looking Goddess necklace. I wrote the story of the Crone many years ago. After a lovely lady read the poem, she told me that she was turning 60 and that meant that she was now at the age where she was considered to be apprenticing to become a crone. What does it mean to be in crone apprenticeship? Adam Blatner found here writes, “Crone-ettes? Apprentices? In the olden days when there were secret wisdom or spirituality schools, they had degrees of initiation. In the last few centuries, initiation into the secrets became more superficial and less demanding of personal consciousness transformation—so, as with many of the Masonic groups, it became a social shift, and lost some of its meaning.”

An insightful blogger friend of mine, Lisa, from Priti Studio’s blog, found here, wrote, “Becoming a crone..what a sacred accomplishment, A celebration is needed and you have created the perfect trophy to be worn as a metal of honor, and then hung as a vestment in your home as an homage to women. A piece to inspire and encourage woman to grab their strength and make it to the finish line with grace."

I decided to call my latest Goddess necklace, “The Crone” because this may be the most powerful looking of all of my Goddess necklaces. One of the best descriptions of ‘crone’ comes from Mamasminstrel's site found here We are told that the women’s movement has encouraged women to embrace the wisdom of their years. The movement even has a magazine called “the Crone Chronicles and a website at found here

I think my crone goddess necklace has the look of a wise woman who has earned the title. I have hand sculpted her original face from clay.

Shown On a Wall

Even though she is quite large, 4”wide x11”high, she is extremely light when you place her on your neck. The added advantage of this necklace is that aside from being as a piece of wearable art she looks equally good on your wall or sanctuary. The drop of necklace is approx 10” from neck to face.

I am offering “the Crone” for $125. and can ship anywhere in the world. Please e-mail me if you would like the crone to become a part of your life.
