Hey RoshamFAM!
We have some new artwork at roshambeauxmusic.com/artwork. J's put a some new creations out this week and has even brought back a few new versions of a few items that were sold out. Take a look!
The Monk
The Monk is made from Rudraksha seeds native to India, Indonesia & Nepal. These seeds are often associated with the Hindu god Shiva, the one who creates, protects and transforms the universe. The Rudraksha or "Tears of Shiva," are often used as prayer beads and are said to safeguard the wearer from negative energy. The Monk is strung with beautiful strong white silk, adorned with a silver plated accent bead and fastened with an antique metal magnetic clasp.
The Terra
The Terra takes its name from Latin meaning "Earth," and features Malachite and lava stone. Aptly named for the benefits of grounding, Malachite is said to protect the wearer from radiation and electromagnetic pollution. This particular bracelet differs from its predecessor by featuring an antique metal magnetic clasp.
The Hidden Treasure
Another favorite in our collection, this new Hidden Treasure features a window style magnetic locket with black striped agate beads with antique metal accents strung together with high quality black bamboo cord and fastened with a heavy duty magnetic clasp. Like its orbed counter part, this particular Hidden Treasure necklace is meant to be worn as an intention necklace by placing a written personal intention to encourage independence, self support and exertion of one's capabilities thoroughly.
The Talisman of Creative Flow
The Rune burned on this Dakota wild deer shed antler, "LAGUZ" means, "Water" in its original Proto-Germanic language. Like flowing water, the intention for the wearer is to harness creativity, to be in the moment and manifest what it brings to you. The gem fastened to the horn is locally sourced clear crystal quartz. The quartz, a universal crystal: Believed by many cultures to assist in manifestation and awakening intuition, in the way one finds themselves in the moonlight. The Talisman of Creative Flow hangs from its wearer comfortably with a simple adjustable leather cord.
The Talisman of New Beginnings
The Talisman of New Beginnings is fashioned from shed Dakota native wild deer antler, a simple adjustable leather cord and a locally sourced Amethyst stone. Amethyst is believed to bring soothing dreams, bringing the dreamer closer to the Devine and extending those dreams into waking life. The Rune "INGUZ" inscribed on this talisman means "Seed," fitting for the intention of new beginnings, encouraging its wearer to grow and nurture their intentions like a seed destined to grow into a mighty tree.
The Communicate Cum Motuis
"Communicate with The Dead," this death Mala features a handmade cotton tassel, high quality black bamboo cord and 108 beads made from white Howlite, black lava stone with red Howlite accents, symbolizing those who have left their bones behind yet leave their ancestral blood to those who still remain. This Mala's Guru or Teacher bead is made from dead stones, reconstituted into the form of a skull. The Mala's inherent intention is for meditation, however, The Communicate Cum Mortuis is specifically made for those who wish to draw strength from their ancestors and the spirits they have left behind.
Pentagram Earrings
In the modern world, the Pentagram is often misrepresented for demonic or devilish symbology. In Ancient Babylonia, the Pentagram symbolized mutual recognition and well being. During the middle ages, early Christians believed the Pentagram to represent the 5 senses and the 5 wounds of Christ. Later, during the Renaissance, the Pentagram took on a more "magical" connotation viewed as representing the 5 Neoplatonic elements. These Pentagram earrings are available in both silver plated and antique bronze styles.
Check Out J's New Etsy Store!
While you can always check out our artwork at roshambeauxmusic.com/artwork J is excited to launch his new store on Etsy: Draco Moon Creations at etsy.com/shop/DracoMoonCreations
What's Up With J...
This week I'm proud to announce that we are launching my Etsy shop! I've been blown away by all the interest in my new hobby and have decided to make it more widely available. This couldn't be possible with out your support and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you. I'm also grateful for the help and support from Kyle. He has helped me with writing up descriptions for each piece and also made me a sweet looking logo that he rendered from a simple hand drawing that I had done. I hope you take the time to go over and check it out at etsy.com/shop/DracoMoonCreations With that being said there has been zero slow down in the music dept. We are so close to completion of our new record I can taste it. Just have some reworking to be done on one of the tracks and we are finishing up a brand new one. Then on to mastering. Also we are planning and have in the works a full live stream soon. We've been putting in the hours prepping everything and trying to get some of the kinks worked out in some of the new material. Be on the look out for an announcement involving that very soon. To anyone that reads this I love you and am so grateful for you and hope you have an amazing week. Much love.

What's Up With Kyle...
It's been a great week so far! J's made some really cool new jewelry pieces this week and it's been great getting to help with presenting them. He sent over some hand drawn designs that I've been able to convert to graphics.
We've gotten the requests for our next performance video. Thanks to everyone that keeps making suggestions. Right now it's between two so I've decided to work on both of them. I feel like the more time you can live your life with new music the better. I've been getting some pretty crazy ideas for one of them in particular. Sometimes when that happens, I get a little nervous, even taking them to J but I'm grateful he's there to reassure me that pushing yourself is a good thing.
A friend of mine is moving this week so I've been helping him out in lieu of working out. I thought I'd feel guilty about skipping leg day. I want to let you know, helping friends move DEFINITELY counts as leg day ( back and arms too), lol! To be honest, when I committed to it I was a little worried I might get less done with our music projects this week but it's actually kind of help me organize my time. Someone told me most of us don't lack time, we lack clarity. It's so easy to get caught up in our own heads. We forget that we've evolved to help each other. I'm grateful I was reminded of that lesson this week. Help your friends when you can. It's a work out. It's worth it.
