Renee has wanted to make jewelry for years and has been collecting pieces (pendants, amulets and stones) from her travels around the world. She has used them in other art forms—from canvas to driftwood—but when she transitioned some of her passionate ideas to jewelry, it was as if she had been making pieces for hundreds of years, not days. Her partner Anthony soon came on board, and in 2024, the Magdalene Collection was born.
Our inspiration is entrenched with Mary Magdalene and the Divine Feminine in mind—Sophia. Shekinah . . . the Goddess aspect of what each one of us hold regardless of what sexual orientation we identify with in this lifetime.
In the collection, there are currently nine lines:
The Sophia Line is dedicated to Mary Magdalene, also known as Miriam of Magdala, who once walked the planet over two thousand years ago. The patriarchy tainted her name for hundreds of years until a Feast Day was created in her name, and the Pope deemed her the Apostle of Apostles.
She represents feminine strength and empowerment. Miriam invites you to be open to your wisdom and intuition, speak your truth, and lead with love, conviction, and resolve.
In our award-winning book Magdalene’s Journey, we write about seven female apostles left out of history and holy books. These pivotal women were instrumental in creating a following of the true Gnostic teachings that Yeshua (who the world most knows as Jesus) taught millennia ago.
The following lines connect to the archetypes of the women Miriam taught and worked alongside after they left ancient Judea and moved to Gaul, now modern France.
The Creatrix, The Alchemist, The Mystic, The Artist,
The Warrior, The Beacon and The Mentor
The Peace Line is dedicated to Yeshua who represented peace, love and unity consciousness. Yeshua was ahead of his time and walked a path less traveled. Although he taught about peace, it was challenging for others to find peace in the world and themselves when they couldn’t see it around them.
It was the foundation that Yeshua taught: the kingdom lies within, and that love is the key to the enlightenment so many seek externally—outside oneself. When he walked the planet, people couldn’t find serenity within, nor could they trust their intuition when their lives were riddled with fear from Romans on one side and a monotheistic external God on the other with far too many rules and laws to uphold.
Serenity wasn’t the order of the day, yet Yeshua taught about peace through nonviolence, love and the internal Gnostic path—we are the true gurus we seek elsewhere. He taught that God is within, and there is no separation. Even the Buddhists teach that the root of all suffering is the perception of separation.
We also cover his teachings and the roles (and archetypes) of the female apostles in Magdalene’s Journey, which launched in January 2025.
The necklaces were inspired by our work on the book and our teachings at Blue Soul Earth, which include the need to balance feminine and masculine energies to create harmony in ourselves and the world at this stage of humanity’s evolution.
The Magdalene Collection necklaces are designed for both women and men. They weave the energies of the gemstones with specific archetypes. Because we are all unique fragments or off-shoots of the whole, but we are also the whole itself, there is overlap between the archetypes, and you may feel that merging when you wear one.
In other words, we are the drop of the ocean, but we are also the ocean. We are stardust, but we are also the Universe, which lives inside us as much as we live inside it. Once you start wearing the piece, you, too, will put your energy into it. Energetically, this combination is incredibly powerful. As many of our customers say, it’s palpable.
Every necklace is part of one of the nine archetype lines. Our process is very individualized and intentional—each piece is handmade by Renee and Anthony and infused with the energies of the archetypes and the frequencies they work with.
Sophia means wisdom in Greek and is often depicted as various incarnations of ancient and sacred female knowledge and wisdom. Sophia is also profoundly connected to Gnosticism, seen as a fractal of energy of the whole . . . of God, of Source.
You might say that Sophia is rooted in the different incarnations of feminine knowledge. Sophia is one of the central figures of Gnosticism, a Christian philosophical movement believed to have started in ancient Rome and Persia.
The Kabbalah tradition sees it as the feminine face of God or the female expression of God. We are all fractals, but we are also the whole. In other words, Source is not separate from us. You could see this as holographic: God, Godde, Goddess, Yahweh, Brahman, Allah, the Infinite, Source (whatever description best resonates for you) . . . manifested into form. Gaia is part of that form as well, as our indigenous elders across cultures have always known to be true.
Since the masculine and feminine energies have been out of balance for so long, the Sophia Line invites you to embrace the feminine within and tap into its pure power.
Many images may come to mind when you hear the word Creatrix. An extension of Creator, perhaps? Think of Creatrix as an energy form always in motion, creating and co-creating. We all have Creatrix energy, but for some, it is more developed as a practice than others.
It’s easy to spot the natural Creatrix in your circles—they’re constantly weaving things together, organizing, launching and leading activities, orchestrating, throwing parties, and creating art, music and events. You get the idea.
This is energy we can nurture, and when we do, we begin to move into the web of creating . . . putting things into motion. When you tap into this creative power, all things are possible. We always create and co-create in each moment through our intentions, words, actions and belief systems.
When you’re in creation mode, consider the well-being of all , and that beautiful cause-and-effect mirroring of life will return blessings to you tenfold.
Gaia is also part of this beautiful energy, which connects you to Mother Earth and all she represents. We are connected to all of it. We are the leaf on the tree but also the entire tree . . . roots and all.
When you wear a piece from the Creatrix Line, let it serve as a reminder of the interconnectedness of everything.
The classic definition of an alchemist is someone who practices Alchemy, the most cited act is changing something ordinary into something magical, like basic metals, into gold. The meaning has morphed over the years.
Some say that an alchemist can transmute the traumas and shadows that haunt us as human beings, and turn them into joy and peace. Essentially, it relates to personal transformation through emotional and physical healing.
When you are aware of your innate healing power, you can free up the obstacles in your personal journey. This leads to freedom from our anxieties and fears. It has been said that when we heal ourselves, we heal others, and when we heal others, we heal ourselves. As alchemists, we can shed beliefs that no longer serve us so we can lead with love in all areas of our lives.
And as alchemists, we are eternal healers of all. And let’s not forget: As above, so below. It’s time to trust in that innate wisdom, healing power and ability to do the same for others. It is long overdue.
When you wear a piece from the Alchemist Line, remember your innate wisdom . . . the intuition that years of conditioning didn’t trust. It’s still there. Ignite the gift once again, and with it comes freedom you’ve only imagined in your dreams.
We each have access to all these archetypes, but one or two may resonate more than others. Some people naturally see themselves as mystics, whereas others have a hard time identifying with the word. According to Websters, a mystic is simply a “follower of a mystical way of life and an advocate of a theory of mysticism.”
But, if you dive deeper, you discover that it relates to having an experience of a “mystical union or direct communication with ultimate reality.” Mystics generally have spiritual experiences beyond what science or even religion can explain, often through subtle insights from beyond our known reality in this 3D world. Think of it as an innate understanding of an esoteric idea or a vision that sheds light on a situation.
Call it intuition, your noetic compass, an innate understanding or whatever language you choose. Perhaps it is simply divine inspiration. If you are drawn to something in this line, let rituals and ceremonies guide you into new and unknown pathways to the mystic heart. Leading from the mystic heart means surrendering to Spirit as your guide, which is simply your Higher Self. It’s YOU.
We are all energy beings and light—that powerful remembrance can open you up to a world of love and, might we add, magic.
When you wear a piece from the Mystic Line, remember your true nature, trust it and then breathe into that knowing.
Whether you’re an artist or are drawn to a piece that falls in the Artist Line, chances are that this archetype is calling you for a particular reason. Just like you might be drawn to a gemstone, color, an item of clothing or jewelry, that calling, is forever changing because we are forever changing.
Perhaps you are an artist or have natural creative gifts, so the vibrancy of the colors and diversity draws you to a specific design. Or it could be that your creative abilities have been untapped or underutilized, so you’re out of balance.
The artist archetype invites you to play more, embrace color, diversity and change and go with the flow of life rather than the routine of it. Sometimes, we can get stuck, and before long, we’re living life on auto-pilot instead of being the artist who can choose to create a fun, new canvas in each and every moment. Let each day be a new canvas you create or co-create by allowing your creative juices to pour forth and fill you with fire. We need all the elements to be truly balanced, and fire provides that burst of energy to keep giving in a healthy and balanced way. We must also remember the importance of giving back to ourselves.
If you’re drawn to a piece in the Artist Line, bring more flow into your life and let creativity bring you new ideas that will fill your heart and feed your soul. From that sacred place, the real magic begins. Let it be. And so it is.
This archetype is often associated with traditional male energy since it is one of the four male archetypes commonly cited along with the King, the Magician and the Lover. Since we each embody all the archetypes listed here—and beyond—we each have a Warrior Spirit within us.
The warrior symbolizes internal strength, resilience, focus, and determination to overcome obstacles and shadows in our lives. Also connected to the warrior are discipline and mastering the balance between aggression and maintaining inner calm.
When describing his style, the renowned martial artist Bruce Lee is known for saying “the art of fighting without fighting.” This is a beautiful segue into the spiritual aspects of the warrior.
The resilience part of the warrior is enduring challenges and even pain to achieve their destiny. They understand that pain and setbacks are thorns along the path that simply make us stronger when we move through them.
Buddhist Pema Chödrön says, “What you resist persists. What you accept transforms.” When we resist, we create suffering. And as many spiritual masters have taught, including Yeshua and Miriam in the book Magdalene’s Journey, suffering is a perception . . . it is not our reality unless we allow it to be. Decide to let the perception of suffering fade into the background like stardust.
Perhaps you’re drawn to a piece in the Warrior Line because you already embody these qualities or maybe because you need to integrate some of the warrior’s qualities into your life right now. Trust in the process and invite it into your life to serve you with balance, grace and ease.
When you think of the word beacon, you likely think of Beacon of Light, and perhaps even a lighthouse that beams light to those in troubled waters. The idea of being a beacon is simple—become a source of light to others. We do this by listening to our internal compass and trusting our innate wisdom.
Weaving science into the mix, human beings are molecules and atoms that emit particles of light called biophotons. This is a great analogy for acting as “light beings” when we show up in the world.
As a beacon, you can become a source of light, creativity, inspiration and love to others on your path. When you inspire others, you ignite their soul’s journey. When you shed light on others, you bring hope to those who live with fear, trauma, tragedy and pain.
We each have a unique gift. Perhaps this is how you identify yourself, or perhaps you don’t, but others see you as a Beacon of Light.
Often when you’re drawn to something, it’s the Universe’s subtle way of saying: “Are you listening?” Be in touch with your light and demonstrate it through your words and actions. When you wear a piece from the Beacon Line, let it remind you that you can be that light for others and not shy away from it. Nelson Mandela famously stated that our “deepest fear isn’t inadequacy, but rather the power within us, and that it is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.”
Let love guide you, not fear.
We are strong believers in mentorship because we believe in the power of community. Everyone needs to receive support through mentorship and share their gifts by mentoring others. It’s always a symbiotic two-way street.
Sometimes, we mentor others without even realizing it, simply by showing up and listening. Other times, we mentor others through our actions.
In our book Magdalene’s Journey, Miriam shares insights into each of the seven sisters, including the mentor, whom she describes as your modern-day therapist, the one who listens and provides feedback without judgment. She’s the Confidante. He’s the Rock you can count on.
If you’re drawn to something in The Mentor Line, perhaps it is to acknowledge you for your support of others, or maybe it’s because you need the courage to reach out to someone else for help at this time in your life. Remember, we aren’t meant to walk the journey of life alone. Tap into a community. Find a mentor or become one. Listen. Feel. Connect.
It’s a powerful journey when we trust others, ask for their guidance and give it when others come to us. Often, people don’t share because they worry that their words will travel far and wide and not be held in confidence and care. You must maintain a sacred container of trust, for with it, comes a lasting friendship you can count on.
Over two thousand years ago, Yeshua taught peace and non-violence as did Gandhi in the last century. Yeshua accepted people who were shunned in society, such as the poor and those with illness and disease. Peace and love were core to his teachings, although his words were misinterpreted and changed.
The Peace Line is about intentionally choosing peace, love and unity over conflict, fear and divisiveness.
Remember, we make choices in each moment of our day. To find inner peace, we need to become it through our words and actions. If you seek peace, find mentors and a community that embraces it. If you embody peace, lead by example so others can see a more fulfilling way forward.
When you’re drawn to a necklace in the Peace Line, let it serve as a reminder of the importance of serenity and calm in your life and how becoming peace will illuminate it for others around you. Intend it and then surrender to it.
With peace comes surrendering to faith and trust. While it’s not always an easy path, it is most certainly a rewarding one. Allow grace to come into your life and watch it show up when you least expect it. Intend, allow, accept and become.
How do you feel when you choose peace, love and unity over violence, friction and divisiveness? Have faith in the process and breathe into that knowing.
