I'm thrilled to share some beautiful new additions to the Bellatrix Prayer Mantle collection."Bellatrix" is the Latin word for female warrior. In these prayer mantles, the name takes on deeper meaning — it’s not about battle in the ordinary sense, but about the quiet, courageous strength we carry when we intentionally surround ourselves with heavenly companions.
Each mantle is crafted as a wearable prayer, inviting the wearer to connect with their inner Spiritual Warrior with grace and faith. These new pieces gather a powerful circle of spiritual warriors: the deep contemplative wisdom and loyal heart of Mary Magdalene at La Sainte-Baume, the pure voice and steadfast faith of Saint Cecilia, the gentle maternal grace of Our Lady of Notre-Dame and the strong defense of Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Benedict, and a North Star to light your path. I created them with the clear intention of keeping you spiritually armored and battle-ready — not for conflict, but for living with courage, clarity, and divine companionship every day.
The mantles are not blessed yet — I encourage you to bring them to your local parish for a blessing.
They serve as both beautiful jewelry and quiet reminders that you are never alone on the journey. May these new Bellatrix Prayer Mantles awaken your own inner strength and surround you with light, protection, and heavenly support.
Crafted as a wearable prayer, the Bellatrix Mary Magdalene Prayer Mantle unites the courageous love and contemplative wisdom of Mary Magdalene with the fierce defense of Saint Michael the Archangel, the gentle maternal intercession of Our Lady of Notre-Dame, and the powerful protection of Saint Benedict and his renowned prayer against evil. A tiny Fleur de Lis invokes the Trinity.
This battle-ready devotional mantle honors Saint Cecilia as Bellatrix - the Latin word for female warrior. The Patron Saint of Musicians, Cecelia is a gentle steadfast guardian of inner melody and unshakeable faith. Under the watchful eye of Saint Michael the Archangel and the powerful defense of Saint Benedict against all evil, and a North Star to light your way, this prayer mantle becomes a wearable prayer of courage, purity, and song.
This battle-ready devotional mantle honors Joan of Arc as the Bellatrix — the Latin word for female warrior — under the tender yet powerful protection of Our Lady of Notre-Dame and the watchful eye of Saint Michael the Archangel. Meticulously recast from French vintage originals, the medals are fully removable so you can easily add new ones to the chain.
May the spirit and light of this Easter morning bless us all,
watch over us and protect us on our journey, open us from the darkness into the light of peace and hope and transfiguration.”
John O’Donahue, Irish Mystic & Poet

This Easter, I'm thrilled to introduce the Bellatrix Joan of Arc Mantles — a new devotional collection that celebrates courage, faith, and heavenly protection. Each mantle honors Joan of Arc as the Bellatrix — the female warrior — surrounded by her heavenly court: the gentle grace of Our Lady of Notre-Dame, the fierce defense of Saint Michael the Archangel, the devoted witness of Saint Mary Magdalene, and the pure symbol of the Fleur-de-lis. Just as Easter proclaims victory of light over darkness and the triumph of hope, these wearable prayers are crafted to walk with you, offering strength, resilience, and divine companionship on your daily journey. I made them with intention to keep you well armored, protected and battle ready. They are not blessed yet, but I encourage you to take them to your local parish and have them blessed.
Each one has slightly different medals featuring the same protective Saints, so look closely. Available in shimmering silver bead chain, rich garnet, and grounding hematite, each 34-inch mantle can be worn doubled or long. They serve as both beautiful necklaces and quiet calls to courage — tangible reminders that you do not walk alone. May these Bellatrix Joan of Arc Mantles bring you the same Easter light, protection, and transfiguration spoken of by John O’Donohue.

May you learn to see yourself with the same delight, pride, and expectation with which Mother Mary sees you in every moment.”

The Blizzard of 2026 just swept through my little town like a full-on hurricane with snow—winds howling up to 98 mph, heavy wet flakes burying everything, trees crashing, and the grid shattered across the Outer Cape. Power vanished for days here in Wellfleet (5 full days for me), leaving us in the dark and cold. Bee stayed warm and sheltered in her barn (safely out of the worst gusts), while my dog, cats, and I bundled close by the woodstove, holding vigil through the roar that sounded like a freight train.
My home and studio are nestled in an oak grove, massive old-growth oaks surround and protect this place like ancient, quiet sentinels. Amid the storm's fury, they stood firm and unshaken. The night before the storm, I spoke to them, asking them to stay rooted and strong; then I called on the angels to hold them in place. And they did. Not one of those revered guardians fell.
Only one big old, beetle-chewed pine gave way... but in a breathtaking miracle, it dropped right into the waiting arms of one of the great oaks—perfectly cradled, sparing my hen house (and six hens) by divine inches. A true sign of deep protection, grace, and the sacred holding we can all invoke when we ask.
Now, with lights back on and my hands calling me to create, I'm channeling that rooted resilience and miraculous light into every piece. These types of storms remind us: even in wild chaos, there's unbreakable strength, angelic guardianship, and serene glow waiting on the other side.
To invite some of that post-blizzard blessing into your world I’m having a Blizzard Blowout Sale – 20% OFF EVERYTHING SITEWIDE! I never do that! This flash sale is short (while the storm's energy and miracles are still fresh)—so please, come wrap yourself (or someone you love) in your favorite guardian's grace.
Invoke Saint Michael for fierce, unwavering protection, the Black Madonna for deep mystery and tender comfort, turquoise talismans to carry healing energy, or the ethereal glow of Moonglow pieces to wrap you in quiet light—all handcrafted to order, infused with intention, sacred symbols, and love. Thank you for walking this luminous path with me.
Stay rooted. Stay radiant.

Garnet, the birthstone of January, holds ancient symbolism that is interwoven throughout the world's great religions. Since Egyptian times, Garnet's traditional red color has been associated with Love, the Heart and the Life Force. Over the centuries, people believed Garnet’s mystical purview included the power to "counter melancholy, stir the heart to great deeds and bind loved ones in friendship and marriage."
The word Garnet comes from the Latin word granatus, which means seedlike, because it looks like the seed of the Pomegranate fruit - a fruit associated with the Heart that is steeped in Sacred Meaning.

“The most important religious event since the Reformation”
Carl Jung
Tomorrow, August 22nd, people worldwide celebrate the Queenship of Mary. It comes 8 days after the celebration of Her Assumption into Heaven. It also marks the formal recognition of Her Queenship and the restoration of the
Divine Feminine.
The Feast of the Queenship of Heaven came in harmony (but not without controversy) with Pope Pius XII's acknowledgement and codification of Mary's role as Co-Redemptrix in 1954. It was a bold move for him to bring the role of the Divine Feminine front and center as he did. What's it all mean? All I know is that it's one of the Mysteries of Mary she often calls us to explore, when we choose to deeper our understanding of Her.
When Pius set August 22, as the Feast of the Queenship, he moved the Feast of Our Lady of Beauraing aka the Virgin of the Golden Heart aka the Notre Dame de Namur to November 29th. August 22 remains as the celebration of the Pilgrimage of Notre Dame de Beauraing. These designs honor Her and her many names.
Also known as Our Lady of Namur, the Madonna in the image is said to have made apparitions to 5 young children, a total of 33 times from November 29 1932 - January 3, 1933. She appeared once a day for just over a month in Beauraing, Belgium. In one of the apparitions she revealed Her Golden Heart to the children and told them she is always available to help bring Healing and Peace to the World.
The Virgin of the Golden Heart Bead Chain Drop necklace, features a beautiful art nouveau medallion with Our Lady of Beauraing - the Virgin with the Golden Heart. It's as light and etheral as She is and designed to sit over your heart.
Beloved favorites, our Fleur de Lis Wraps in bead chain are light, airy and designed to blend easily and seamlessly with all your Whispering Cowgirl designs.

The triple strand Joan of Arc Sword of Saint Catherine necklace features an ornate Sterling Silver Sword commemorating the sword Joan of Arc was led to by Saint Catherine who guided her on her life mission. At an early age, Joan was clear of her destiny and it shows on this powerful image of her listening to her guides. She called her sword the “Sword of St. Catherine”.
Saint Michael
The Christo Rey in Galaxy Mix an amazing double sided holy medal that features Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Michael. Galaxy Mix features hand linked Gray Opal, Labradorite and Hematite. The original medal dates back to 1682 and the building of the "Templo Expiatorio a Cristo Rey" - the early basilica in Mexico City created to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The Galaxy Mix Wrap Necklace is 36" long and features a combination of gemstones we call the Galaxy Mix because it looks like the Milky Way in the Night Sky. The Galaxy Mix includes Gray Opal, Hematite and Labradorite to bring in the constellations.
The Lady of Lujan
The Lujan Choker features an intricately carved Our Lady of Lujan medal within a flaming Sacred Heart made of Sterling Silver. She's surrounded by Angels, with two of them raising a crown of flowers above her. Pilgrims worldwide travel to see Her to receive special graces, favors & miracles.
The Feast of the Assumption, is a beautiful day to contemplate the image of Our Lady being accompanied to Heaven by angels at the time of her passing. But what proof do we have of this some ask?...What proof is needed I say? There is no proof needed when you chose to live in the Mysteries...
The new Moonglow Madonna Rosary was created in celebration of the
The Moonglow Madonna Rosary Necklace is designed as a five decade rosary. It is 32" inches long and comes with a 4" complimentary enhancer allowing it to be doubled. Our Art Nouveau Madonna medal gracefully adorns 50 luminescent silver freshwater pearls, invoking the feeling of bathing in moonlight with the celestial order. Shown in silver, it is also available in gold.
One of the sacred gifts of my work is immersing myself in the timeless symbolism and divine stories woven into vintage medallions, particularly the profound imagery of the Immaculate Heart of Mary , which radiates divine love, purity, and devotion through its flames, pierced sword, and blooming roses.
Each medal is a unique masterpiece, its meaning often veiled in spiritual mystery. Most of our collection’s cherished pieces hail from a century ago, with some reaching back to the 18th century. Though the names of some artisans endure, others have faded into the mists of time, yet the holy reverence they infused into their creations continues to radiate, touching the soul.
The Madonna's Shield Necklace symbolizes the protection of the Blessed Mother. Featuring an Immaculate Heart connector and a delicate emerald drop, it was created in collaboration with a client who chose the emerald accent. The strand of channel-set crystals reflects Our Lady's brilliance and the light she shines to guide our path. The seven swords encircling the heart represent the joy of loving with an open heart and the pain that often accompanies it.
It is said, "That any human being needing comfort, vision, guidance or strength was heard by the Immaculate Heart ... and thus, Blessed Mother would immediately arrive with veils flying ... to place us under her mantle for protection, to give us that one thing the world longs for so: the warmth of the mother’s compassionate touch. -
Saint Anne is traditionally recognized as the patron saint of mothers, grandmothers, pregnant women, and women in labor and the family. July 26 also honors her husband Saint Joaquim, who is the father of Mary & the grandfather of Christ.
I love the imagery on this holy medal. Saint Anne is shown with Mary on her lap, while she teaches her and passes on the Wisdom that flows through family matriarchs. In addition to being the protectress of the family, Saint Anne is the patroness of unmarried women, pregnant women and teachers.
Tradition suggests that Anne and her husband Joachim were elderly and had been childless for many years before Mary came, making them powerful intercessors for those seeking to conceive.
This lovely medal is recast from a vintage original from the Basilica of St. Anne de Beaupre in Quebec. Countless healings and miracles have been attributed to Saint Anne by pilgrims who have visited her basilica in Quebec. It is said Christ will never turn down a favor asked for by his Mother and the same goes for those asked for by his Grandmother Saint Anne.
Today, July 13, we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Chartres, honoring the Black Madonnas enshrined in the magnificent Chartres Cathedral—sacred, dark-skinned icons of the Virgin Mary and Infant Jesus. Notre Dame de Pilar and Notre Dame de Sous-Terre, rooted in medieval and pre-Christian traditions, draw pilgrims to this holy site, renowned for its miracles, labyrinth and Gothic splendor. Devotees seek healing and divine connection, captivated by the mysteries these living icons embody.
Our new "Black Madonnas of Chartres" rosary honors their enduring grace, inviting contemplation of Chartres’ mystical legacy on this special feast day and every day.
"Our Lady of the Pillar at Chartres stands as a radiant beacon of divine grace, her dark visage whispers ancient mysteries that draw the soul into the heart of the sacred feminine." - Joseph Campbell

The Notre Dame de Sous-Terre
Notre Dame de Sous-Terre, the captivating Black Madonna of Chartres Cathedral, exudes a profound mystical essence, drawing pilgrims into deep spiritual reflection. Nestled in the cathedral’s ancient crypt, this sacred icon, a replica of an 11th-century figure, embodies the divine feminine with an aura of timeless sanctity. Her dark presence and subterranean shrine evoke the mysteries of the earth’s womb, whispering of rebirth, healing, and cosmic unity.
