Garnet
 |
The pomegranate is used in much of Greek Mythology and many believe that it is used in association with the garnet. In ancient cultures, garnet was associated with fire and illumination. It was said to contain enough energy to light the night sky. Garnet is believed to have been hung to light the path inside of Noah’s Ark. Eastern Indians used to rub garnet on themselves to obtain a “glowing quality” to their skin. Garnet has always been considered insurance for travelers against misfortune. Likewise, some believe that it is useful in warding off bad dreams and as protection from theft. The stone is thought to attract love and soul mates and to enhance creativity. Jade - For a sense of the spiritual value of jade, look into the face of a great carved Buddha. In that face is deep, enduring peace and strength. Green jade promotes that kind of strength. It offers physical and emotional well-being, especially during unpleasant or difficult situations, by helping us feel more grounded. Though we may not be able to change the situation, jade can help us accept and deal with it sanely. |
