Meet Horatio. 💀🌿 Green aventurine, the Stone of Opportunity. It's all about timing, patience, and knowing the exact moment to move. Horatio means timekeeper and looks for the best way to act. #WitchSky #CrystalSkull #GreenAventurine #Crystals

A hand in a black glove holds a polished green aventurine crystal skull, roughly 2 inches tall, facing forward. The stone is a soft translucent green with subtle mottling, carved with detailed eye sockets, nasal cavity, cheekbones, and teeth. Blurred autumn foliage in green and rust tones fills the background.

Double terminated green calcite with many small terminations going up to the termination at the top and bottom. It also has a black phantom and some fluorite as well. Balochistan, Pakistan, Loralai Mine. 5 x 3 x 2 inches. hempharmony.etsy.com #crystals #minerals

A gloved hand holds a large pale green calcite specimen from the Loralai Mine in Balochistan, Pakistan. The crystal is double terminated with a stepped, glassy point at the top and many smaller terminations climbing toward it. Faint internal shadowing near the top suggests a black phantom, with hints of fluorite along the base. It measures roughly 5 x 3 x 2 inches. Behind it, blurred purple, blue, and green tapestries hang on the wall.

Raku fired pottery pendant on braided hemp hempharmony.etsy.com #hempjewelry #sacredgeometry #mandala #handmade 💎🗝 🧶

Handmade ceramic bottle pendant on a braided hemp cord, resting on dark gray fabric. The round pendant is speckled tan clay stamped with a mandala — rings of pointed petals spiraling inward to a small detailed center, with a scalloped border around the edge. The recessed lines hold darker brown, and there's a subtle warm sheen across the petals. A small cork sits in the neck at the top. The cord is braided in lavender, peach, and light orange, looping loosely around the pendant.

Hematite is associated with stability and focus. The name traces back to the Greek word for blood, because hematite leaves a rust red streak when it's scratched against a hard surface. #WitchSky #CrystalSkull #Crystals #Hematite #CrystalShop

A small hematite skull rests on grey textured fabric with a wood surface behind it. The stone is dark silvery-grey with a bright metallic sheen, catching a highlight across the forehead, with deep-set eye sockets and carved rows of teeth.

Another photo that I got outside in daylight before of the Yaogangxian Fluorite now up on my Etsy 🪷 #etsy #crystals #fluorite #minerals

Yaogangxian fluorite specimen held in a bare hand against a blurred green outdoor background. A cluster of translucent cubic fluorite crystals in soft blue-lavender and pale purple tones, with cloudy white calcite crystals nestled at the center. The glassy crystal faces are lit softly by natural daylight.

Excited to have my first item back up on Etsy! Yaogangxian Fluorite with a baby bluish color and a slight purple tone. The color zoning is really sweet as well. #crystals #fluorite #etsy #shopsmall

Yaogangxian fluorite specimen held in a black-gloved hand. A cluster of translucent cubic fluorite crystals in soft pale purple and lavender tones, with pointed pale-yellow calcite crystals nestled among them. The stepped, glassy crystal faces catch the light against a gray textured background.

Vanadinite grows in little hexagonal barrels of fire. 🔥 Red moves through the body before the mind catches up — it quickens the pulse and pulls you toward action. That's vanadinite's language too: turning want into motion. #Crystals #Vanadinite #Minerals #WitchSky

Vanadinite specimen held in a black-gloved hand against a blurred green leafy background. A cluster of glossy hexagonal crystals in deep orange-red sits atop dark gray-black matrix, with the flat crystal faces catching bright highlights of light.

Organizing my beads has been pretty satisfying. Slowly easing back into business mode 🙂 #smallbusiness #handmadejewelry

A plastic bead container with mostly wooden beads. There are six big sections and 22 smaller ones. They are organized by color and shape.

Created this bracelet, one of the first times I've made hemp in a while. Petrified Wood is good for stability and grounding. The other bracelet I made a long time ago out of agate. This bracelet is my reminder to take it step by step, day by day. #crystals #jewelry 🗿🗝 #witchsky

A bracelet made with hemp, the color of hemp is like a goldenrod orange. The beads used are petrified wood and have grey, brown, and red tones.

It's been a long time bluesky.. going to be coming back to post sometimes as I think I'm over my social media break. Here's a cool window film that I got for the house. #witchsky

A photo of a window with a film that is meant to look like rainbow stained glass. It's clear and prismatic so the light shines through in different colors depending on where you look at it.

A text post on a white background with black text. The post is a thoughtful metaphor comparing therapy and treatment to fixing a broken car when you're on a road trip.
Text Content:
Here's a thought I had about how therapy & treatment works (vs how many people imagine it works). This is based on my experience with depression and chronic illness, but I hope it applies more broadly as well.
Imagine you have to take a road trip on a deserted road alone. Halfway through the trip your engine starts to splutter and the car breaks down. What do you do?
A lot of people imagine that therapy and treatment is like calling a mechanic to come and fix your car for you. You make the call, and then you just have to wait around until the mechanic has fixed the problem, and your car is good as new! Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. There is no on-call mechanic. No-one is able to fix this car except for you.
Instead, it's like you pull a toolbox out of the trunk, pop open the hood, and dial up the mechanic on the phone. You have to try and describe the problems as clearly as possible, and follow the advice they give you as well as you can.
Sometimes you won't understand the advice, and you'll need them to explain it again or suggest something else. Sometimes you'll do what they say and the car still won't run, and they won't be able to explain why, only give you something new to try. Sometimes you'll think you fixed the problem and start driving, and the car will break again two minutes down the road. No matter what happens, it's going to be hard and messy and frustrating work.
But at the end of it, not only will your car be running again, but you'll know how to fix it now. Which isn't to say that you'll never need another mechanic again, but next time you get stuck, it'll be that little bit easier to handle.
So keep at it everyone, and good luck on your journeys!

Larvikite, also called Norwegian or Black Moonstone, is a grounding stone connecting you to Earth's energy. As a skull, it will aid meditation and shadow work. Geologically, this monzonite gets its silver-blue shimmer (schiller effect) from feldspar crystals. #crystals #crystalskull #witchsky

A carved and polished crystal skull made of gray and black larvikite is held in a hand wearing a black glove. The stone displays its characteristic silver-blue flash. The background is a blurred, bright setting of green foliage and reddish-brown leaves.

This was one of my favorite star beings when around. In a place where art is around all the time now. The crystal skulls choose where they want to be, I'm mostly a caretaker while some are here. #crystals #oceanjasper #alien #crystalskull #witchsky #etsy

I'm slowly re-adding things to my etsy! Hoping to move to my own website soon but for now I'm still there. Here's a cool chlorite quartz specimen where there's so much it turned the quartz green 💚 🌳 #crystals #quartz #witchy #chloritequartz

This double terminated quartz has chlorite inclusions, which makes it a light forest green color. This one is naturally double terminated on many of the points going in all different directions.

Having a place that looks calm and inviting can definitely help. And I just did that with my living room table! I'm definitely going to work on the space I sleep in next.
