Carnelian historically has been used in jewelry for thousands of years and we definitely could understand why once we started this project.
Connecting the Heart, Root, and Sacral chakras, the vibrant rich colors we associate with this orangish red Chalcedony is one of the most widely recognized varieties of quartz. Sometimes darker and harder varieties are distinguished by the name 'Sard'
In Egyptian times, the deceased would be adorned with a Carnelian necklace symbolizing the Blood of Isis and their protection into the afterlife. During the Japanese Iron Age (300 A.D.) the deceased were found with Carnelian amulets around their necks. The 29th chapter of the book of the dead in Egypt is notably inscribed in a tablet of Carnelian. Both Napoleon I and II wore a seal of Carnelian during their ruling. Furthermore, the prophet Muhammed was said to have worn a ring of Carnelian on the little finger of his right hand.
Understandably this particular stone has a big place in history, being associated with metaphysical healing properties.
Strength, Courage, Confidence, Grounding, Creativity and Manifestation are abound with this particular stone.
Carnelian is also said to be of aid in manners of sexual intimacy as well, and some say it can help those afflicted by menstrual difficulties, difficult pregnancies, and erectile dysfunction.

Also featured in this personal power set, is Citrine. While most citrine on the market today is heat treated Amethyst (Post coming shortly about this) these beads are natural chips (you can tell by their clarity and lightness of color)
Citrine is the name given to yellowish-light orange quartz caused by iron inclusions.
Multiple civilizations have used the word Citrion to describe any yellow gemstone in color. Oftentimes, these gemstones were actually Quartz, Topaz, Jade, Aventurine, and Beryls (Aquamarine, and Heliodor). To this date, we cannot find a defining period of when the naming of Citrine (Iron-included-Quartz) had occurred.
Inspiration, Clarity, Joy, Abundance, Fortune, Luck, and of course the balancing of our polarities. Needless to say this little stone is a powerhouse and one of our personal favorites!
It has also been said to help with anxiety relief as a reminder of our personal power it can help the user to make choices for themself rather than for other people.

“Art should disturb” but sometimes the subject matter is disturbing enough. This is for the missing and murdered women, girls, trans women and two spirits. 🐺 ✨ 🌙 https://linktr.ee/KitThomasArt.

Chris busted his own mama car windows, threw a chair out a window at the Today show, beat up frank ocean, threw bottles in the club like a basketball wife at Drake, we just saw him buck up at Teyana Taylor last year, we all witnessed him stalk karreuche. He hasn’t changed
Niggas would be more lenient to grant Chris grace if he actually did the work to rehabilitate himself after the first incident wit Rih. Instead he got worse. Chris is crying over a self inflicted wound and y’all need to stop ignoring that cuz y’all like his songs. He ain’t changed, get that manhood out your throat and recognize that your favorite doesn’t care!

Some things are ‘Not for Sale’, taking away someone for slavery/prostitution means taking away their dreams. It’s high time to protect yourself against human trafficking online. 🛑♀️
Traffickers have adapted to online platforms including social media, marketing sites, and matrimonial/dating webpages to recruit victim and attract them.
Make sure you set strict privacy settings and beware of strange friend request. Beware of fake advertisements and avoid sharing it among your social groups. Educate yourself from warning signs of trafficking and don’t forget to raise an alarm. 🛑
There are several ways to stop human trafficking, including:
👉Increasing law enforcement efforts to identify and prosecute traffickers.
👉Providing support and resources for victims of trafficking, such as shelter, counselling, and job training.
👉Educating the public about the warning signs of trafficking and how to report it.
👉Strengthening international cooperation to combat trafficking across borders.
👉Addressing the root causes of trafficking, such as poverty and lack of opportunities such as education, employment, and skills.
Working all together in a concerted way on a local and international platform with survivors on prevention, detection, and response efforts, we together can stop trafficking of women and girls around the world for good.
