Spell Of Iron

March 15, 2010 in Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 39 comments

I felt the urge to get a Hematite bracelet in February – around about when i wanted an Ankh…something is up – and it’s always good to follow those callings…no?

Hematite is just iron oxide – I don’t think it’s even considered semi-precious, my bracelet cost just $25.  So it’s demi-precious or something. But it is magic.

Hematite was adored in Ancient Babylon and Egypt, where they used it to fend off curses & negative projections. If someone is thinking merde about you or wishing you ill, hematite is said to reflect it back. It’s credited with dragging out the emotional source of illness, being grounding and aiding in psychic powers.

Think of it for  help when you feel drained and for when you want, lol, an Iron Will.

It’s a very Saturn-Plutonic stone.

Turquoise – Sacred To Our Sagg

Turquoise is SO lucky for Sagittarians. It’s like their sacred stone – my globetrotting Saggo aunt is always dripping in it – and no wonder.

The Ancient Apache tribe thought it gave hunters, warriors and archers perfect aim. In Ancient Persia it was considered special and protective to horses. It ward off the Evil Eye by changing colour to warn you of impending jealousy. Turquoise signifies strength, protection and the powers of Sea and Sky. I think it and lapiz lazuli (linked with Aquarius) are gorgeous.

These bracelets above are antique Navaho but one old myth about the stone is that you should never wear it second hand as the energies of the previous owner become so thoroughly imprinted in the turquoise that one’s own dharma or whatever is muddied. Thoughts?
