Rings are one of the traditions we chose to keep (you can review them all in Our Commitments blog). Basically, we believe rings are a physical manifestation and symbol of the agreements we make with one another. As believers of magic, we designate the rings as our power objects that strengthen, protect and innovate our commitments. Jerome has chosen to be branded instead (see his anniversary proposal for details). The search started at a vintage mall, scouring endless rows of cocktail rings. Eventually we decided to have one made. The Cat is having her ring hand-crafted by Michelle Lenae, a local Seattle artist. She uses recycled metals and hand selects her stones. Definitely check out her etsy site. Labradorite is one of Cat's favorite stones as it has all kinds of metaphysical properties, and just looks badass. Notes about it's power, protection, healing and transformational magical properties can be found here and here. Lore says that labradorite fell from the frozen fire of the aurora borealis and that it's shimmering mystical light separates the waking world from unseen realms. It's the magic stone of shamans, diviners, healers and travelers who embrace the universe seeking knowledge. It enhances intuitive abilities and protects from within. Here are some photos from our first trip to visit Michelle, and the progress made.
