Athena Mala - Talent - Carnelian and Black Onyx

This Mala was a custom order from a Grandmother to her Granddaughter who is going through a rite of passage and her Grandma wanted to really help her emphasize her talent for signing and help her grow even more confident with it.  

I’m pleased to present Athena!  This Mala was named after the Greek Goddess of Talent, Athena.  She supports your pursuits by helping you lean into natural skills, practical reason, and her skills of protection.  As you meditate with or wear this Mala just picture yourself surrounded by energy.  As a palace goddess she can not be injured.    

Athena is made mostly from Carnelian.  Metaphysically speaking, Carnelian is used to increase your individual power and physical energy.  It boosts creativity and compassion.  It renews your excitement for challenging projects.  It is accented with Black Onyx, a grounding stone that blocks negativity and brings good fortune.  I’ve added bali silver accent beads and music notes to tap into your moon energy, bringing strong intuition and guiding dreams. 

I hand knotted your Athena Mala, infusing it with the intention of taking your talents as far as your heart desires.  I hope you feel it every time you work with her.
