The Spiritual Meanings & Powers of Gem Stones And Metals



There are certain gem stones and metals used in Wiccan rituals and Wiccan jewelry for their spiritual ...energy or symbolic meaning (which are pretty much the same thing).



Gem stones are valued by Witches for their healing properties, and their ability to hold and channel energies.



Metals also have inherent powers and associations.

Witches use these materials consciously. Knowing their properties, we know that when we wear gold we are calling something different than when we wear silver. When we place a crystal on the altar, we know it is doing something other than a pearl would do. This awareness is fundamental to the living practice of Wicca.



Gem Stones



According to Edgar Cayce, the value of gem stones arises from the fact that they are essentially the same material as the soul. This is a beautiful thought. The beauty of gems lift our spirits to soar. The Power of gem stones, though, arises from their connection with the Earth. This gives them their healing power. Gem stones are manifestations of the Earth's innate compassion.



Working With Gems and Other Stones



Virtually all gem and other stones are healing in some way. Most are specific - working on one part of the body or mind. You will have much greater success with gem stones - and with all ritual items - when you understand that they are not inanimate objects to be wielded as you wish. Gem stones have consciousness. And they are incredibly generous - willing to work with us for years. When you work with them, as equal partners, the Power is amplified . . . not to mention more easily guided. It is the purpose of dedication to create this working partnership.



Throughout the ages, the healing properties of gemstones, their beauty, and magic have been recognized and harnessed. As far back as the Stone Age, men and women wore crystal jewelry. They had a protective, as well as a decorative function, guarding their wearer against harm. The ancients employed gemstones for protection, adornment, healing and for seeing into the future. Gemstones were frequently worn and carried by ancient Egyptians as amulets and charms. Greek mythology frequently refers to gemstones, and many have been discovered in the tombs of Chinese rulers. Gemstones were used extensively in ceremonies and initiations by the Native Americans, the Mayans and Aztecs.



Gemstones today carry the same power and jewelry can be selected, not just on the basis of its beauty. Hopefully, you will discover that wearing gemstones is a highly effective way to promote health and healing. They can boost your energy; clean your space; enhance your intuition; increase mental abilities; boost your confidence as well as other uses.



Containers of Energy



Gem stones hold onto energies. It is this which makes them so helpful in magickal tasks and healing.

They act as containers for magickal energy. This makes gem stones ideal as altar tools and charms for spells. For healing, stones are willing to have disease transferred into them. They then hold onto it until it can be safely flushed away. Healing stones don't need to be gem stones - river and lake stones work wonderfully.



This ability to hold onto energy also means that new gem stones aren't "fresh." They are holding energies from past owners, people who mined them, people who polished and set and sold them, and people who held them in the shop before you picked them up . . .



So take care to cleanse all new stones thoroughly before using them.

septogram is also know as the Faery or Elven star. It is used by some faerie traditions but is also associated with other magical traditions.



Seven is a scared number in many traditions and this star is used to represent different sets of ...seven things by different people. These include:



the seven Pleiades (stars)



the seven days of the week



the seven major Hindu chakras



the seven classical planets (sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn)



the seven notes in a diatonic music scale (white notes)



the seven tenants (balance, harmony, humility, learning, reincarnation, tolerance and trust)



the seven elements (earth, air, fire, water, above, below and within)



The number 3 is often considered to relate to heaven and the higher realms and 4 to the earth. 3+4 = 7 heaven and earth together as a whole.
