ISHTAR Mala

$168.00

This stunning lightweight mala is handcrafted from 8-10mm carnelian, faceted amethyst, and lapis lazuli gemstone beads. Each crystal has been meticulously hand-knotted on waxed purple hemp cord to provide the perfect amount of space between the beads. It is adorned with a silver and multicolored rhinestone guru bead, and a handmade purple tassel. 

This piece is intuitively designed by Priestess Brandi Auset and has been ritually and magickally dedicated to the Goddess ISHTAR.

ISHTAR, the Mesopotamian (Akkadian/Babylonian) Goddess of Love and War, is often syncretized with the Sumerian Goddess Inanna. Ishtar is mainly associated with sexual sensual love, divine compassion, war and battles, and royalty. She is the Queen Goddess, and Her power is often invoked during the full moon when She envelops lovers in fertile, abundant energy.  Her role as guardian and war goddess is due to Her volatile temper and protective nature, as well as Her desire to right wrongs against women and Her practitioners. 

Carnelian is a stone of creativity, sensuality, courage, confidence, actualization, and passion. Use this stone to release your emotional attachment to the past. Keeping Carnelian close assists in creative endeavors, helping bring projects to fruition, and can even stabilize energy in your home. Meditate with it to banish sorrow. As a stone of action, Carnelian can give you a boost, increase your auric force (your life force), and stimulate your motivation. Be directed, be assertive, and use Carnelian to lend strength in achieving your desires.

A meditative crystal, Amethyst opens your third eye, stimulates your intuition, and aids in divination practices.  It is a stone of lucid and prophetic dreaming and offers divine protection when you are in these mystical states of being. Amethyst aids you in releasing bad habits and overcoming addictions of all kinds by clearing your energetic field of negativity and attachments. It builds a cocoon of light around your aura, providing spiritual protection and aligning you with the wisdom needed for your highest good.

Lapis Lazuli activates your third eye, allowing you to connect to the Divine flow of the universe. It is a crystal of spiritual enlightenment, and a guide in the astral world. Lapis Lazuli is an excellent stone for past-life exploration, clairvoyance, and oracular awareness. A stone of royalty, Lapis Lazuli can help you tap into your inner Queen, helping you to move beyond the human mind into the realm of Gods and Goddesses. It is a powerful stone, particularly for healers, teachers, and those with spiritual ties to ancient Africa and Mesopotamia. It represents beauty, luxury, and abundance.

Lapis Lazuli stimulates your throat chakra, and strengthens your powers of discernment while instilling the courage to speak your truth. The stone also the heart chakra, guiding you to relationships based in unconditional love and devotion. The vibration of Lapis Lazuli is so powerful it inspires you – as well as those you spend time with – to live your most authentic life without fear.

 

This mala can also be worn as a necklace, and is a 42" length.
