Celtic Jewelry

Citrine is considered November's birthstone because of its warm, sunny yellow color, which is often associated with the autumn season and the glow of the late fall sun, making it a fitting choice for the month; the name "citrine" itself comes from the French word for "lemon," further reflecting its bright yellow hue. This beauty is known as the stone of happiness, joy, abundance, and personal will. If you’re all about ‘manifesting,’ then this is the most powerful fit for you.

Elder is the Celtic Tree for Nov. 25 - Dec. 22. This tree embodies the seasonal energy of diminishing of light, the last leaves dropping, the plant’s concentrated essence sinking into the root, the quietude and mystery of the earth itself in a wintery landscape. This is a time of endings and beginnings, the least light and the return of the sun toward a longer day...completion and rebirth. It is a time when there are fewer distractions and the boundaries between the unseen and seen are thin. It is a story time.

Celtic spirituality exudes a sense of joyful gratitude that is often absent from our lives. Gratitude is one of the key Celtic virtues. Thanksgiving is the virtue of interdependence. It recognizes that we stand on the shoulders of others. Without the support of elders, family, friends, and teachers, we would be lost. Life, for the ancient Celts, wasn’t always easy, but they trusted in the ultimate source of all gifts that grace every season of life.
