Devi Shailputri [Strength + Courage] Navratri Fall 2023

Devi Shailputri is the first manifestation of Goddess Durga [the Mother of All That IS] and she is worshipped on the first day of the Navratri festival, a nine-night invocation and celebration honoring the Divine Feminine energy.

Goddess Shailputri signifies creativity, purity, and the power of nature as her name "Shail" means mountain and "putri" means daughter. 

She is considered the embodiment of strength and courage. Devotees worship her to seek blessings for good health, prosperity, and overall well-being.

These earrings were created with the elements + symbolism associated with Devi Shailputri. Wearing jewelry related to Devi Shailputri can symbolize strength, determination, and the ability to overcome obstacles. 

By connecting with Devi Shailputri through jewelry you may invoke her divine energy and blessings for stability and courage.

The red gem is Sponge Coral in the shape of a four-pointed square, also known as the quadratum. The square, with its equal sides and right angles, symbolizes stability, balance, and foundation [the Muladhara or root chakra]. In the context of healing, it may represent the importance of finding equilibrium and stability in your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. 

The four points of the square also represent the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) or the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west). This association suggests that the square can harmonize and balance different energies, promoting holistic healing and alignment. 

In some beliefs, the square is thought to create a protective boundary, shielding individuals from negative influences and promoting a sense of inner security.

Sponge Coral is connected to increasing vitality, passion, and creativity. Wearing jewelry made from Sponge Coral is believed to stimulate energy flow and enhance one's life force while promoting inner peace and emotional balance.

When combined, jewelry related to Devi Shailputri and gems of Sponge Coral symbolize a harmonious blend of spiritual strength and vitality. The wearer may experience a sense of empowerment, balance, and a deeper connection to both the divine feminine energy of Devi Shailputri and the earthly energy of Sponge Coral.

The circle is a symbol of completion, unity, and the interconnectedness of all things. It signifies the cyclical nature of life, eternity, and the idea that everything is part of a continuous and harmonious whole.

The circle in these creations also symbolize the moon which is connected to Lord Shiva and often associated with spiritual realms, representing the divine, the cosmos, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. It can symbolize the divine perfection and the notion of transcendence beyond the material world.

In Vedic astrology, coral, specifically red coral or "moonga," is associated with the planet Mars (Mangal). According to Vedic astrology, wearing red coral is believed to have several healing properties and astrological significance, including enhancing energy, vitality, and physical strength. It is believed to stimulate and balance the body's life force, promoting vigor and stamina. In Vedic astrology, red coral is considered to provide protective energies against malefic influences of Mars in one's birth chart. It is believed to instill courage and protect the wearer from negative energies. Red coral is believed to help individuals manage anger, impulsiveness, and aggression by channeling the assertive energies of Mars in a harmonious way.
