Precious Gems of WisdomWritten by Sam Stevens
The New Age should also be called The Stone Age, because along with aromatherapy, healing with vibrations and frequencies emitted by gemstones is at crux of movement. Below I have listed seven popular gemstones that also correspond with divine energies of Seven Archangels. I will do another article, in near future that deals with inexpensive semi-precious stones, but chances are that many of you own jewelry already set with following precious gems. If you don't own any jewelry you can obtain inexpensive, raw, unpolished in stores or on Internet. Once you have stone, it is best to wear it someplace your body, which is why so many of these are set in necklaces, bracelets and rings already. You also might want to practice psychometry, which is intuitive art of holding stone and sensing its vibration. Some people like to purify raw or unpolished stones, after they have purchased them, by dropping it in a glass of salt for a night. In case of used jewelry or inherited things, you might want to do this to cleanse it of energies of previous owner. Sapphire: This stone, which is usually color of deep, blue sea, will help give you power, focus and determination. It is a great stone to wear when you feel yourself losing hope, stamina and perseverance. A sapphire helps you to concentrate on tasks on hand and get things done. It improves your concentration and helps you stay centered throughout your daily activities. This is stone to wear if you have trouble sitting down and writing 'A Things To Do List'. It is good for those who feel disoriented or spacey or have trouble with their eyesight. The sapphire corresponds to energies of Archangel Micheal, who assists us with mental clarity, and protects us from accidents. So this is a good stone to wear if you are entering a potentially violent, risky or daring situation. It is also a good gem to wear while you are driving. Yellow Topaz: This clear yellow gem is 'problem-solving stone'. It is for those who feel overwhelmed by life. You might have that existential feeling like there is no way out of a situation. Use this stone to help you reconnect with your higher self, as well as to help you physically and emotionally feel human again. This stone is also good for those who feel 'numbed by disappointment'. It can help release frozen feelings; as well as help you detect hidden sources of illness in your body. It can help you to embrace new ideas and accept uncomfortable changes. It is used by healers for protection from toxic energies and also to release those who feel oppressed by drunken or abusive partners. It can also help obsessive people learn to let go. It helps you recognize your patterns and see 'big picture' in life. Topaz also expands your field of awareness so it is a good stone to wear while sending out resumes or looking for a job. Wearing Topaz helps you connect to energies of Archangel Jophiel, who is angel of Divine inspiration. Rose Quartz: Feeling low? Wear a rose quartz to increase your confidence and self-esteem. This light pink crystal heals heart and promotes a sense of self-appreciation, self-appreciation and self-love. It also helps you open your heartıs center so that you can give love, unconditionally without any expectation of a reward in return. It improves your mood and enhances feelings of joy. The Rose quartz is a very warm stone and helps you put your own needs first, before others thereby getting rid of that feeling of being taken for granted or being taken advantage of. This crystal also helps those with circulatory and heart problems and because of its warm energy is said to be a tool for healing pain in general. The rose quartz is also stone that is carried to increase circulation of cash flow in your life. It corresponds to benevolent energies of Archangel Chamuel, Angel of Love. This is angel that always makes sure that you have food on table, shelter over your head and tools for your trade. Diamond: Clarity is key word to describe uses of a diamond for psychological healing. This is stone to wear if you have trouble making decisions, or are at a loss as to what to do with your life. It also helps those who start things all time and never finish them. The diamond is also a stone of communication and aids those who often feel left out of loop to communicate clearly with others. It is good for those who feel consistently misunderstood or like they are socially invisible.

One of questions that I am asked most often on realm, is colour of candle should I burn for what purpose? And when ...As there is no book out there called Candle Burning for Dummies, I thought I would give you a quick crash course in correspondences of colour candles to magickal purposes. As a practicing witchlet, first thing you must do is learn how to a) pray your heart out and b) laugh maniacally. As far as Iım concerned, no spell is complete without fervent wishing and praying followed by a maniacal laugh (to seal spell.) The second thing you must do is familiarize yourself with phases of moon. It is best to do most magic from New Moon to Full Moon period when moon is waxing. During this period, cosmic or astral energy is building and this is best for if you want to attract something to you ... like a lover, more money, more gerbils or whatever. From period of Full Moon to next New Moon is best for banishing spells -- getting rid of negativity, stalkers and like. www.artcharts.com has a nice ephemeris on it that tells you where moon is each day. This site also tells you when moon is what is called ³void of course²... you donıt want to start burning a candle while this is going lest your cosmic energy go astray ... of course if you have a question about whether a night is a good night to burn a candle, you can always email one of psychics (Mary Helene, Ruella, David, Lydia and myself are good choices) to help you with astrological aspects. RED candles burnt during waxing mood period are used to attract more love, lust and drama into your life. They are especially good to burn during three days leading up to full moon to heighten erotic tension. They can also be used during waning moon period to drive a rival away (especially if used in conjunction with black candle.) However this is manipulative magick and could have some bad karma attached to it. ORANGE candles bring you love, joy, luck, happiness, feasting and luck with children and pets. Wanna go to more parties? This is candle to burn. GREEN candles increase cash flow and bring steady work. They represent growth, fertility, abundance and opportunity. Combined with a black candle during waning moon, they can help remove financial obstacles in your way. YELLOW candles are for both spiritual and material riches and help align your will with heart. This is colour to burn you are confused about your career or professional matters...this is colour you want. It can also help you buy that new fridge or car. PINK candles bring tenderness, equilibrium and help you manifest higher qualities of love in your life -- patience, faith and compassion. Like orange, this can also be a fun candle and bring delight and surprises into your life. For a real lift, trying burning a yellow orange and pink candle together.
