“Who is She? She is your power, your Feminine source. Big Mama. The Goddess. The Great Mystery. The web-weaver. The life force. The first time, the twentieth time you may not recognize her. Or pretend not to hear. As she fills your body with ripples of terror and delight.
But when she calls you will know you’ve been called. Then it is up to you to decide if you will answer.”
― Lucy H. Pearce
 
Alufaa - "Priestess" in Yoruba
 
Symbolic of the High Priestess in Tarot, this strand is all about distinct self-awareness, mystery, spirituality, the unknown as well as the sacred truth.
 
Connected to the Throat, Third-Eye and Crown chakras, the High Priestess strand reflects our creative self-expression, intuitive energy, and connection to a higher source.
 
Featured twice is the Hamsa charm, also known as the Eye of Fatima, which provides protection, enlightenment, happiness, and success.
 
Allow this strand to remind you who are you and the divine energy that you carry.
 
With roots in various tribes native to Africa, waist beads are traditionally gifted to a girl or woman at various milestones in her life. These beads can be symbolic of many different important momentous occasions that she has reached.
Waist Management: When used for weight loss, waist beads provide a gentle reminder of our waists' size as it either becomes snug with our expansion or loose with our growth. As you begin to lose weight you can adjust and tighten your waist beads, keeping them with you through the phases of your journey.
 
Mindfulness: Waistbeads can be used to promote mindfulness during meditation. They draw us in and remind us to focus on our breath as we feel the shifting of the beads up and down our abdomen with each inhale and exhale.
 
Waist beads come in two sizes:
Traditional 0-45 inches
Curves 45-65 inches
