Peridot’s Magical Uses

The Summerlands

I’m an admin for a page on Facebook and I felt like blogging this post I made.

———————————————————————————————————————————————–

Peridot used to be set in gold which let it be used effectively in magic. As this, it guards well against night terrors and illusions and the evil eye.

When worn or carried, it enhances general healing. It is also said to promote the healing of insect bites and to help in liver ailments.

The stone is used to attract love and calm raging anger. It’s useful in soothing nervousness and dispelling all negative emotions. It promotes sleep. In Roman times, rings of peridot were worn to relieve depression.

Anything peridot can be used for olivine can do just as easily.

Stones…

Yesterday, I was straightening up and changing around my altar.  In the process I stumbled upon a bag of stones.  I figured I would share the meanings of them, so I can get rid of these scraps of paper 🙂

Onyx

This mineral is excellent for initiating the modes of centering and alignment of the total person with the higher powers.  It can be used to banish grief, to enhance self control, to stimulate the power of wise decision making and to encourage happiness and good fortune.  It can also be used to cleanse the intuitive receivers.

Lapis

Lapis lazuli owes its blue color to a sulfur r...

Provides for activation and energizing of the throat and brow chakras.  It is a stone of “total awareness”, helping to expand awareness and the intellect.  It provides objectivity, clarity and mental endurance during release of emotional bondage.  It can help you to evolve upward toward the light of total unification with “all that

Jade

Nephrite Jade

Known as the “dream stone” and a “stone of fidelity”, bringing realization to one’s potential and devotion to your purpose.  It improves the remembering of dreams and assists in “dream solving”.  It is also used to release suppressed emotions via the dream process.

Black Kyanite (I actually have this as a pendant which I never take off)

It is one of the two minerals on the planet that neither accumulates nor retains negative energy, and therefore never needs cleansing.  It is used for clearing chakras, communication, to deflect negative energies.  It is associated with the root chakra.
