Get to know Goddesses, #Gaia, #Ala and #Pachamama on this #EarthDay and see which one you embody. 🌍⁠ ⁠ Your special gift today when you spend $200 is our gorgeous mini Pachamama in sterling silver. 💚⁠ ⁠ The personification of Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities, Gaia is a benevolent, nurturing Goddess. The first of the immortals, she came to being when everything was chaos, and created the Earth and star-filled sky as we know it. Gaia is your Goddess if you are lovingly known as the “mom” of your friend group. You enjoy taking care of people and making sure everyone feels good and loved. Your selflessness is your superpower. It wouldn’t be surprising if you also feel a real passion for the planet and all of its creatures.⁠ ⁠ Ala is a deity of the Igbo people of southern Nigeria. Her name literally translates to “ground,” and she is the Goddess of the Earth, fertility, and morality. She is also the ruler of the underworld and guardian of the harvest. She not only gives life, but also welcomes the souls of the dead into her womb. Ala will appeal to you if you have a strong sense of justice. You like to find balance in all things and know all the facts before you make a decision. It’s rare for you to be unfairly judgmental or act on impulse. ⁠ ⁠ Pachamama, often depicted as a blossoming mountain, the Andean fertility Goddess (whose name translates to “Mother Earth”) is a benevolent Goddess who nourishes and protects all those who live on earth. But don’t you dare disrespect Pachamama. It is said when she becomes angry, she causes earthquakes and floods. Just like any mama, she wants everyone to not only treat her well, but also cherish the home she provides for us all. She put you in this world and she can take you out.⁠ ⁠ 💙 Today we are donating 22% of proceeds from our Earth Day Collection to the @womensearthalliance, an organization that works toward protecting the planet by empowering women’s leadership.
