MOONSTONE

||
changing colour and transparancy to reflect the feelings of the wearer. lt
|
||
also changes to suit the phase of the moon ,i.e. waxing grows brighter, full
|
||
full colour, waning grows darker.

||
|
||
They aid in the accuracy of scrying and divination especially if held by the

||
travel on water, and clears the mind of confusion and aids in clear, concise

OPALS
|
||
|
||
This stone carries immense quantities of energy, both positive and negative

||
and is thus the stone of fortune and misfortune. lt is also called the stone
|
||
of the Gods since it carries all colours. It represents all four elements.

is also used in prophecy and divination by placing over the third eye.

||
|
||
lt offers protection from eye diseases ( often by being wrapped in a bay
|
||
leaf and being placed on the eyelid) It is used to grant wishes and to add to
|
||
magickal workings. Placed in the left hand it gives affirmation of purpose,

in the right hand it will strengthen the work its self. Placed on the

quite negative when used selfishly for ones self. Opals are absorbtive, they

GEMS
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
Why has man been intrigued with shiny stones and gems, and why is it we want
|
||
to wear them at certain times of our lifes?
|
||
|
||
When you are buying a gem or stone for yourself, you may look at many until
|
||
you find the one that feels right for you...What makes you pick a particular
|
||
one??
|
||
|
||
CRYSTALS
|
||
|
||
Crystals are formed along energy lines found within the natural forces of
|
||
the earth itself. Even beyond the earth within the natural forces of the
|
||
cosmos itself. The stars you see about the earth at night and the other
|
||
planets also radiates lines of force. These lines litarally transverse the
|
||
earth itself and generates energy alon the meridian of these lines...It is
|
||
along these lines that crystals are formed in the natural state. So in
|
||
essence they are the energy of the cosmos itself.
|
||
|
||
Nature acts as a storehouse of energy. We have to learn to tap this
|
||
storehouse, if man were to know of the natural abilities of crystals. There
|
||
would not be any problems of energy shortages. Crystals are energy in
|
||
theirselves, in many different forms.
|
||
|
||
Crystals help with clairvoyence, generate energy, keep away nightmares. If
|
||
powdered it is good for swelling, heart disease, eye disease, fever,
|
||
intestinal problems. In Scotland it is the stone of victory..

GARNET
