Communion of Heart and Soul – Custom Partnering Crystal Pendants
Communion of Heart - Kunzite and Amazonite in fine silver
Allison and I love to create special pieces for our Joyful Earth Crystals clients and as shared, we’ve been enjoying the new custom commissions that have been beautifully unique and varied. These are our latest creations (pictured throughout the post) that symbolize a special union of two souls that we are really in love with.
We were commissioned to create a pair of partnering pendants for two kindred twin souls (both water signs) that share a connection of eternal and unconditional love. The pieces we created were to be connected in some way to mirror this union, while simultaneously reflective of the individual it was going to. We instantly knew which pieces were meant for them.
Communion of Soul - Aquamarine and Amazonite in fine silver
The first you see pictured is named Communion of Heart and combines a luminous Kunzite atop a beautiful Amazonite.
The second you see pictured is named Communion of Soul and combines a lovely raw Aquamarine and a partnering Amazonite.
Each wrapped in fine, pure silver with a pure sterling silver, 18” adjustable chain with lobster clasp.
The timing of this creation was so synchronous and also fell during Allison’s first trip to Sedona this past weekend, along with my telepathically receiving those Sedonian energies through her. So this pair of connected pieces are really infused with beautiful and potent energy. They have been sent off to their new keepers and scheduled to arrive on Friday’s Full Moon! We were so excited upon showing our client the images before sending, to hear them share that they could already feel the energies of these pieces and were extremely happy.
Communion of Heart and Soul
I love the pairing of stones to compliment and blend energies of each. Some stones prefer to be on their own and others are beautiful matches of soul unions, much like we are as humans. More unique combinations will be available. Allison has really done a lovely job in uniting the crystals in gorgeous, finely secure design, which is so important especially when working with more than one stone. She’s amazing!

Lemurian Dreams – “Revisiting” Sedona
Lemurian Dreams Pastel by Tania Marie - Inspired by Laura Bruno's book, "Schizandra and the Gates of Mu"
It’s been an interesting week following an energetic detox weekend. Seemed that along with the Mercury Retrograde energies, I was reliving the energy of, and my time I’ve spent in, Sedona this weekend because Allison Jacobson, whom you’ve come to know as Joyful Earth Crystals’ designer and Emerald Bridge’s Chief Creative Officer, was visiting the area for the first time. She had opportunity to go by my old house there and some of my favorite spots. Via our telepathic connection, since we are so close, I was definitely feeling like I got a vortex shifting zap! And have been sort of in an altered space this week and focused on both practical matters and energetic magic while things percolate.
Interestingly, this weekend I was also inspired to post my painting of the Pleiades, along with a Walt Whitman poem – On the Beach at Night. Unbeknownst to me when I was posting, was that this was a poem that was in Schizandra and the Gates of Mu (based in Sedona) by my faery sister Laura Bruno. I had read the book when it first was completed, but did not remember this. When I posted the poem, I was feeling somehow I was connecting to it and drawn to it, but didn’t know why until Laura posted a comment on that blog post reminding me that it was in the book and connected to one of the beloved characters in the book, Haru.
Another cool synchronicity was Laura’s recent post, Why Telepathy Makes People Mad and the whole telepathic “revisiting” and connecting with Sedona energies this weekend through Allison and via my tattoo that I recently got there. (my first and last tattoo were both brought to life in Sedona)
At the beginning of November I returned to Sedona briefly to get my newest dragon portal tattoo I have on my left arm by magical tattoo artist, Siva – who is also featured in my book, Spiritual Skin. And so, there is a lot of connected energies and activation at work.
In light of the new energies and a “revisiting” of Sedona on many levels, I’m sharing this pastel painting I created for Laura, as inspiration for her book based in Sedona – Lemurian Dreams.

Pieces of Enchantment – Damanhur and Beyond
Ever since years ago, I heard about and researched the Temples of Humankind built by the Damanhur Federation that lie deep inside of a mountain in northern Italy – a Universal Temple for the ages that’s been called the Eighth Wonder of the World and the First Wonder of the New World by others – I have been drawn to visit it. If you haven’t heard about them or seen them, here is a link for more information: http://www.thetemples.org/. It’s one of those places that reminds us of our sacred connection and the sacredness of life and creative expression.
“Damanhur, is an eco-society based on ethical and spiritual values, awarded by an agency of the United Nations as a model for a sustainable future.
Founded in 1975, the Federation has about 1,000 citizens and extends over 500 hectares of territory throughout Valchiusella and the Alto Canavese area, at the foothills of the Piedmont Alps.
Damanhur offers courses and events all year round, and it is possible to visit for short periods as well as longer stays for study, vacation or regeneration.
Damanhur promotes a culture of peace and equitable development through solidarity, volunteerism, respect for the environment, art, and social and political engagements.” damanhur.org
Here is a very cool video of the Singing Plants in the Sacred Forests of Damanhur – So Enchanting! Yes, Magic is all around us!
