The Magick of Hematite

 

Hematite is one of the most powerful grounding minerals that you can work with, and it's widely available because it's fairly common.  It's an iron oxide compound that is found in soil and rocks.  It varies in color from the black, gray, and silver many of you are likely familiar with, to brown or red.  

My first memory of Hematite was being young and getting a ring at a museum. I was disappointed when it broke a few days after I got it because I knocked my hand against something.  Hematite can be soft and brittle, so if you are using it in jewelry, you want to be careful.   If you are looking to cleanse it, rinse it with water, but don't leave it submerged for any length of time. It can go in the sun briefly, but I would also avoid prolonged exposure.  If you are looking to cleanse it, I would use white sage or leave it out under the Moon in a black velvet pouch. You may want to charge it with Dragon's Blood Incense.

In ancient Egypt, hematite was used to stop bleeding and promote the formation of blood cells. They also believed that it would help support people in the afterlife, so it was often found in tombs. In the Middle Ages, it was known as a "blood stone" because the water often turned red when polishing the stones.  Native Americans used Hematite to make red face paint.  It was often given to warriors before they went to battle because many believed it would help protect the person who carried it and guarantee their survival.
 

Hematite corresponds to the Root Chakra and is amazing to work with when you are seeking grounding or protective energy.   It can strengthen your connection to the Earth, helping you feel grounded when you carry it.  It gives you courage, strength, and endurance.  It can also help with concentration and focus. If you have trouble sleeping, try placing it in a pouch with a piece of rose quartz under your pillow.  The powerful duo will help you to release any negative energy that you are carrying and bring energy of love around you, making it easier to rest and to get a good night's sleep.

Amulets and Talismans

 

Recently, I had a question about Amulets & Talismans, asking what the difference is between the two and how we use them.  I thought it was a really excellent question, and wanted to dig into it a bit with all of you today.

Let's start with Amulets.  One of the biggest differences between Amulets and Talismans is that amulets are typically used for protection or to ward off energy whereas Talismans are typically crafted to bring energy towards you.  I have noticed some other traditions using them for other purposes, such as to attract luck, etc.  However, generally, when I see them used for this purpose, I've noticed that protection remains a metaphysical property associated with what they are using.  I was also taught that it is preferable when creating an amulet to make it out of material from nature whenever possible.  

For example, let’s look at a Hag Stone.  A Hag Stone is a stone that you find that has a naturally occurring hole in the center of it.  Many times, if we find one of these, we will find some way to string it and wear it about our neck as an Amulet.  Hag Stones can be used for their energy of new beginnings and luck, among others; however, they are also known for their energy of protection.

When crafting an amulet, you want to be sure to consider the energetic properties of the items you are using. You also want to be sure to cleanse and consecrate them as yours before using them. Once you have done that, you want to look into a way to make your creation wearable.  When doing this, try to use natural products whenever possible.  Look at items that can enhance the energy of what you are trying to create.   If you are working with a type of wood, you can carve it if you wish, or even use natural paints to infuse it with additional magick.

Talismans are typically a combination of one or more items, specifically put together to draw a particular type of energy to you.  It is more common to find them crafted out of a wide variety of materials, including natural materials. One example of a typical talisman you may see is an inscribed metal disc on a chain, decorated with stones to draw the desired type of energy.  These not only need to be cleansed and consecrated, but you also need to charge these with your intent.  For those of you that wear pentagrams around your neck, that's a great example of a Talisman.

I hope this helps!

Working With Your Projective and Receptive Hand In Magick

 

Working With Your Projective and Receptive Hand In Magick

Today I wanted to go over a principle in magick and working with energy that is important and should be incorporated into your craft, your projective, and your receptive hand.  We use our projective hand to send or expel energy, and our receptive hand to receive energy.

So which one is which?

For the majority of you, this will be easy.  Your projective hand is the one you use most of the time.  For example, if you are right-handed, your right hand is your projective hand and is the one you use to send energy.  If you are left-handed, your left hand would be your projective hand.  If you are able to use both hands equally, you want to spend some time sensing the energy in your hands and determine which one you feel more comfortable using to send energy.  

So what are some examples of how we would use this?

A great example of how this works is charging a gemstone.  Let’s say you want to charge your quartz crystal on the next full moon.  You would stand outside under the Moon. Hold the quartz crystal in your projective hand.  Use your receptive hand to draw the energy of the Moon into your hand, down your arm, through your body, down your projective arm, through your projective hand, to charge the stone.  Make sense?

Examples of Projective Hand Activities

Most of us are healers in some capacity, while you may find you naturally work with both hands during healing, you should be concentrating on sending that energy with your right hand and receiving it with your left.  Whenever you wish to charge items you are working with, always hold them in your right hand, for you are adding energy to them. Anytime you are adding your energy, or universal energy to an object to work with it, use your right hand.

Examples of Receptive Hand Activities

If you want to sense the energy of something you wish to work with, you would hold it in your receptive hand to get an accurate feel for it.  During meditation, try holding your left hand with the palm up to facilitate receiving energy, as this is one of the many places you will receive energy.  If you wish to receive energy from someone, you would join your left hand with theirs to exchange that energy.  

I hope this helps!
