GXDDIIISS BEADZ

GXDDIIISS BEADZ
We first learned to bead about 10 yrs ago from a woman who learned directly from the women of Ghana, West Africa. Waistbeads which can also be worn on the wrists and ankles serve a different purpose for every woman that chooses to adorn herself with them. Some women wear them for body awareness, to increase sensuality, to regulate weight, & to feel beautyFULL. Beads are used to celebrate the arrival of a new baby girl, or as a rites of passage, for young girls moving into adulthood. We hold those same beliefs. Our existence should be celebrated by adorning ourselves physically & spiritually.
If youʼve noticed, or not weʼve chosen to include Roman numerals number 13 into the spelling of GXDDIIISS BEADZ. The number 13 is very special for women. In tarot & occultism 13 represents transformation, death & rebirth. Women and 13 have a direct alignment. There are about 13 new moon cycles every year & women have about 13 periods a year giving us the opportunity to self reflect & transform our ways of thinking & being every month. Menstruating may be dreaded by majority of women now, but it used to be a holy time. In earlier times when women ate off the land & lived in close quarters with one another their moon cycles would sync. This made it an ideal time for women to come together & menstruate in groups rather than alone. During the time of menstruation womenʼs sensitivity & intuition is extremely heightened. Making it an ideal time to asses their current lifestyles & create new plans to accommodate them. This coupled with the energy of the new moon made it a grand time for focused intention & manifestation. The women were so aligned & mystical that it became threatening to the patriarchal system, which then lead to the demonizing of our innate womb work. 13 no longer was revered, but cursed & called unlucky. Since, we’ve moved further away from living with the land & into more processed ways of being in relationship with our earth & as a result we’re out of sync with the earth & the yin energy of the moon. All of this has lead to disruptive and difficult menstrual cycles. Instead of embraced, our cycles have become an experience that is dreaded, shunned & kept in the dark. Women no longer gather to celebrate a girlʼs first moon anymore nor is wisdom from the elders shared in womb confidence.
Our intent with GXDDIIISS BEADZ is to reestablish & reconnect you with you. By adorning yourself you can bring yourself back into awareness & appreciation for your body. You can hold intentional space for your cycle and wholly respect the divine process of change & transformation your body goes through. Every month our world gifts us a new moon with the opportunity to reset, refresh & be present. Our intent much like the new moon is to assist & facilitate with that energy. We hope GXDDIIISS Beadz can support & honor your shifts in everyday realizations, heighten awareness & remind you to hold space for yourself first by honoring you alwayz in all wayz.
Basics
Yin
An amalgam of blue & silver glass beads & clear quartz. Yin was created at the time of the November Nu Moon. Yin is internal, introspective & feminine. It is connected to our emotions, waters, & the color blue. Blue was chosen to represent yielding, surrendering and going with the flow of our emotions. Clear Quartz was chosen to honor clarity. Emotions can be cloudy at times & like water our emotions are always changing. These Yin beads were created with the intent to offer clarity & respect to our emotions & allow them to flow.
Resilient
An amalgam of black, brown & gold glass beadz, fresh water pearls & goldstone. Resilient was created at the time of the November Full Moon. Black representing strength. Americaʼs existence is solely because of the native black & copper inhabitants. Gold representing the physical prize of staying true & honoring you. Goldstone is a man made crystal with copper flakes, again respect to the copper colored people who inhibited America before colonization. Pearls representing the moon. The resilient beads were created with the intent of strength, honor and endurance.
