The Myth:
The myth of the origin of onyx says that the goddess Venus was resting on the banks of the Indus River. As she slept, Cupid used the point of one of his enchanted arrows to give her a manicure. The parings of her nails then fell into the waters of the sacred river. Since the nails were of heavenly origin, they sank to the river bottom and were metamorphosed into onyx.
In Ancient Times: Onyx is a protective stone worn when facing adversaries in battles of conflicts of all kinds, or while hurrying down a dark street late at night. In classical ceremonial magic, the image of the head of the god Mars or a figure of the hero Hercules was engraved on onyx and carried for courage. Indians and Persians believed that wearing onyx protected them from the evil eye, and that placing onyx on the stomach of a pregnant woman in labor would reduce the labor pain and bring on earlier delivery.
Effects: Onyx is not only used for protection, but also as defense against negativity consciously directed towards you. It has also been used to reduce uncontrollable sexual impulses. The close union and yet strong contrast between the layers of black and white in some varities of onyx may suggest its connection with romance. In India, Gemologists recommend Onyx as a protective measure for harmonious relationships, thus keeping away any probability of disturbances or differences between the couple. Onyx as a birthstone provides the structure and authority you crave. It can help you be the master of your destiny and strengthen your confidence. It provides support in difficult times and centers your energy in times of mental or physical stress. It also offers the gift of wise decisions.
Mystical Power of Onyx (general): Throughout history, onyx has been thought to bring powers of protection, defensive magic, and the reduction of sexual desires. It has also been thought to reinforce the knowledge that there is no death, aiding in the understanding of the wheel of birth, death and rebirth. It brings about the knowledge that separation is an illusion and reunion will come. It aids psychic contact with those who have died, facilitates séances and mediumship, brings messages from the dead, and aids past-life and between-lives regression work. It helps future life progressions, and prevents and removes spirit possessions. Contemporary authors say the onyx brings increased vigor, strength, stamina, and self control. It alleviates worry, tension, and nervousness and eliminates confusion and nightmares. It is used to provide glimpses of that which is ‘beyond’ and activates one’s memory of one’s roots and reality. Medicinal applications include the treatment of bone marrow diseases, teeth, foot, blood and bone problems, and soft tissue disorders. It is also believed to aid in ailments such as epilepsy or glaucoma and is known to have powers to rectify damage done to cells.
Mystical Power of the Black Onyx (specific): The Black Onyx seems like a gift from the gods to us… it can help you live a more fulfilling life! The Onyx is a type of chalcedony that’s part of the quartz family. It was a popular stone for the Greeks. They believed that the Onyx stone came from the fingernails of the Goddess Venus. It is a powerful stone with plenty of positive attributes. First, it is a grounding and centering stone. It will balance you mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Second, it is a strengthening stone that will assist you in tasks where you feel challenged and weak. Third, it will ease your fears where they are the strongest. Fourth, it will banish negativity. Fifth, it will rejuvenate you when you have run out of energy. Finally, it will attract positive energy and bring you happiness. When you wear a Black Onyx Bracelet, it will inspire self-control, confidence, fidelity to your partner. It enhances your meditation and dreams. It will give you confidence in your career, like in interviews and presentations. The Black Onyx will work according to your heart’s desire. The Black Onyx is also believed to have healing powers and to heal teeth, bones, feet, and blood disorders. Place it on your body and feel the healing take place. Use the Black Onyx to charge water to treat skin ailments like fungal infections and sunburns, and also wounds and rashes. Just pat it on the affected area and use an Onyx water compress at night. Here’s just some of the benefits you will get, when having the Black Onyx near you:
If you use Hecate’s Eye constantly for chanting, protection and enhancements; or feel that your energies are constantly under attack… then, every week, you should discharge the Onyx by placing it under running water. If you’ve used it for a long time without doing so, bury it in the earth overnight at least once a month to regenerate its energies (preferably inside a sealed wooden box and on dry days). To conclude: wearing Hecate's Eye, placing it on your altar, or using it during rituals allows you access to all the benefits that have been mentioned here.

Malachite Properties and Meanings If you’ve always thought a stone looks rich, elegant, and gorgeous but just don’t know the name of it, you’re most probably looking at a piece of malachite. When you walk inside a crystal store and see all the stones and crystals laid out before you, you just cannot help but look at malachite. How do you know that it’s malachite and not something else? You don’t have to be an expert to know, because the stone’s beautiful and rich green color will tell you that it is. Malachite has a very regal and mesmerizing appearance. The green color with white striations makes it look like a very important jewel. It comes in different shades of green. If your favorite color is green, then this stone is definitely for you! You just cannot help but be drawn to it and look at it because of its appearance and the flow of energy in its lines and designs. Which is why this stone is very inviting when it comes to energy and movement. Did you know that malachite has been around for thousands of years, dating as far back as 3000 B.C. in ancient Egypt? Egyptians used malachite as talismans because of their protective powers. It’s found in many countries and considered to be quite common. Malachite can be mined in the USA, Chile, South Africa, Australia, Romania, Russia, Zaire, and the Congo.
The name is derived from the Greek word ‘malakos’, meaning soft. But there’s nothing soft or weak about this stone that is also known as the mirror of the soul!
Why Would You Use Malachite? You may be thinking that you don’t need malachite in your life, but you can greatly benefit from the energies that this stone can bring. In case you didn’t know it yet, malachite is also known as the Stone of Transformation. It will help you deal with the many changes that can happen in your life because it stimulates clear thinking and controlled emotions. There will always be challenges, surprises, and unexpected events. But knowing that you have the protective and supportive energies of the malachite can spell the difference between rising and falling. It will help you heal on a physical and emotional level, removing anything that’s making you feel weak or toxic. By removing all the impure energies in your life, you are also stimulating the positive life force in your body and your aura. Malachite symbolizes the healing green of the nature around you. It will open your eyes to the beauty of the world and make you more aware of how you can use everything that surrounds you to make yourself better, happier, and more at peace. What’s more, malachite is known to have great visionary powers that can effectively ward off negative events from happening. It can keep you safe and protect you against accidents. Malachite is also a stone of travel. It’s great to carry with you when you have a fear of flying. This stone will also help you overcome your fear of heights. It will help give you smooth travels. It also works great with jet lag or for keeping you calm during bad traffic jams, delayed flights, or stormy seas.
How Will Malachite Help You? Malachite and Health The malachite is famous for its healing energies. It can help boost your immune system so that you don’t fall sick easily, even when you’re in a room full of people with a bad cold. When you’re experiencing irregular menstruation, having malachite close to you all the time can help regulate your period and fix your monthly cycle. This will also aid in your efforts to be pregnant or become more fertile. If you’re suffering from painful menstrual periods, malachite can also help ease the painful symptoms. It can make your PMS go away, menstrual cramps, bloating, irritability, high emotions and all. It will help you not feel like a fragile little thing with an appetite of a horse every single month! Did you know that malachite is also called The Midwife Stone? Midwives use it to ease labor pains and to protect both mom and baby during child birth. If you have any concern with anything related to the female organ, the malachite is your go-to stone. Malachite also works well in lowering your blood pressure. It’s good to have it with you when you have heart problems, or if you’re suffering from asthma, rheumatic pains, or intestinal problems. Healers also use malachite to ease the trembling associated with Parkinson’s disease. If you have vertigo or are prone to suffer travel sickness, it will be a great idea to have malachite in your pocket or inside your purse whenever you go out. It’s also effective in healing tumors, fractures, or swollen joints and muscles. When you’re feeling muscle aches or strains after a long day at work, running this stone though the part that aches can make you feel a whole lot better. Malachite can also help your liver release toxins from your body. It’s a stone that uses wood energy, which symbolizes good health and nourishment. When you have malachite in your possession, it will boost your vitality and encourage your body to grow well physically.
Malachite and Wealth Malachite is a growth crystal that is a potent aid in growth, development, creation, or renewal. When you hit that point in your life where you feel that nothing exciting is happening, or that nothing seems to be working, the energies that you can get from malachite will help you get out of this slump. It’s the stone of good fortune, so the wearer of this stone will attract all things good when it comes to money, wealth, and opportunities. It symbolizes abundance, expansion, and new beginnings. When you find yourself in a tough spot and finding it difficult to make ends meet, malachite can help you see new ways to improve your situation and spot new opportunities to remedy your situation. The green in malachite is a good talisman for new business ventures and for keeping your projects on course and on schedule. It’s also a reassurance that no matter how busy or crazy your life becomes, your life will always be on track. Malachite energy will give you the strength and wisdom in your professional pursuits. It will promote practicality as well as loyalty in your business partnerships.
Malachite, Love and Relationships When it comes to love and relationships, malachite acts as a protection stone that absorbs negative energies and pollutants around you. It helps you release all unwanted feelings that can harm you and your relationship. Malachite is dedicated to your heart chakra. If you want to know where the heart chakra is, it’s right in the center of your breastbone. This stone will give you a clearer idea on what you should be embracing when it comes to love and life. It will give you a better understanding on the things or the people that you should be avoiding as well. When the heart chakra is out of balance, there’s a feeling of being out of balance with your emotions, your way of thinking, your way of dealing with people, and your way of handling your relationships. You will realize that your patience is extra short, that you are easily irritated and snappish, and that you are more open to quarrels and disagreements. The green energy that the malachite gives will help you regain the balance of your heart chakra. It will help you realize and understand your needs, your wants, and your own emotions. You will have a better understanding of how to deal with your emotions when it comes to that person you love, your relationship with that person, and the direction that your relationship is heading. You will be more accepting of the changes with an open heart and have a more positive outlook. Malachite promotes change. If you are ready to leave the past behind and move forward to something better, this stone will give you the courage and strength to do it. It will give you the emotional healing that you need to finally free yourself from the trauma and negative experiences of the past. It will open your eyes to what’s preventing you from achieving emotional or spiritual growth. If you have always been scared or cautious about love, malachite will encourage you to be more of a risk taker. It will give you the courage to sever unwanted or unhealthy ties with people who are no longer good for you. A malachite stone will also change your old patterns, habits, and behaviors. It will draw out your deep-seated feelings and their psychosomatic causes. You may think that it’s just a stone, but its healing energies will help you deal with depression and anxiety caused by problematic or bad relationships. It will help you overcome your fears and make you confront the problem more bravely. It will encourage you to voice out your feelings and resist any form of emotional blackmail. By doing so, you will also be freeing yourself from any kind of emotional abuse. Malachite is a good stone to have because it will remove any trace of shyness. This will work especially well for you when you want to strike up a conversation with that guy you like and just set the wheels in motion. It will promote healthy and happy relationships that are based on love, not just lust or need. When you have malachite with you all the time, you will have a stronger sense of friendship and passion for that person you love. Malachite will help you gain a better sense of responsibility for your own thoughts and actions. There will be more faithfulness in your relationship, and you will finally stop feeling small and insignificant in your relationship.
How to Use Malachite for the Best Results The malachite stone is one of the most beautiful stones you will ever see, so it’s really no surprise that it’s often used for jewelry. When malachite is placed very close to the body, it can harness your personal energy field! If something has been tormenting you and causing you sleepless nights, you can speak your fears and worries out loud to your malachite stone while holding it in your hands. Then place the malachite in a sheltered and secured place outside your house overnight to allow it to take away whatever is troubling you. Put malachite in the east or southeast area of your house or your room so that you can also benefit from the prosperity and abundance that this stone is known to bring. If placed in the stagnant area of your workplace or your home, you can activate and open the flow of the positive energies in that space. It’s best to put malachite stone beside appliances and gadgets to help protect you from their harmful rays. Put it next to your computer to keep your energy levels up all throughout the day, and to ward off emails or messages that bring bad news (combine it with our orgonite “Towerbuster” and you are fully protected)! |

In Ancient Rome, hematite was a popular stone for decorative purposes. Jewellery, weapons, and even armour decorated with hematite were traded widely. The dark colour was thought to be especially intimidating or protective. Hematite stones are opaque, not the strongest of stones (it has a 5-6 on the Mohs hardness scale), and they have a strong metallic lustre. When found in nature, it will be rough and red, but once polished, it takes on a beautiful, mirror-like sheen, which makes it extremely popular in semi-precious jewellery. Just like Amethyst, this stone’s energy is earthy, and it is one of the best stones that you can use to harness the power of the element of earth to lend you strength and dispel negativity. If you are interested in learning how to use hematite’s power, simply read on!
Why Would You Use Hematite Crystals-Stones? Hematite’s powerfully earthy energy means that it can be used for almost any project that involves the power of the element of earth. Earth is the element that rules the physical world, money, practical thinking, and decision making. As I’m sure you can imagine, this makes the powers of earth extremely popular and beneficial! Thinking in a solid, logical way that will also improve your material and financial life is a pretty positive way to go through life. Specifically, hematite is a good stone for organizing one’s thoughts and developing logical thinking skills. This is a useful stone for improving your skills in subjects such as mathematics, argumentation and debate, or problem-solving. If you’re put off by the idea of a stone benefiting “logical” thinking, and worried that it might negatively impact your creativity, fear not! In fact, logical thinking is a prerequisite for creative thinking. The most creative thinkers, from painters like Picasso to scientists like Einstein, or even young children, are actually the most ruthless appliers of logic. They apply logic so rigorously that they come very quickly to conclusions or ideas that other people would dismiss as “crazy.” In other words, if you feel that your creative thinking is stagnant and you want some more, then applying hematite to improve your logical thinking skills is the best thing you can possibly do for yourself! It also has strong emotional benefits, because, as many dark-coloured stones do, hematite dispels negativity and “purifies” the emotional realm. It balances its user’s self-esteem and self-vision by sweeping away all the negativity that so often clouds our understanding of ourselves. By using hematite, you make way for more positive energy to enter into your life. Hematite’s main property could be described as “grounding.” If you tend to have a “flighty” mind, prone to distraction, lack of focus, or anxiety, or even if you feel that you have a strong imagination, but that it’s impacting you negatively, this could be the perfect stone for you. It won’t “kill” your imagination – quite the opposite, as described above! – but it will give you an increased ability to focus your mind in a productive way, rather than becoming psychically distracted.
How Will Hematite Help You? Hematite can benefit you in multiple different fields of your life. It is best known for its positive effects in business and career fields, but it can also be helpful in your romantic relationships, your family life, your spiritual development, and your general perspective towards yourself.
Hematite and Wealth First, let’s tackle hematite’s role in your career. Because of its connection to the element of earth, this is one of the best stones you can use for its financial benefits. Remember, earth is the element that rules money – why do you think American money is green? If you’re seeking a promotion, a raise, or maybe a whole different job that will benefit you from a financial perspective, hematite is a great stone to incorporate into your life. Its power will not only make people see you in a more positive way, but also give you the skills of strong logical thinking and practicality that are so rare and valuable in most career fields.
Hematite, Love and Relationships When it comes to interpersonal relationships – whether romantic, familial, or just friendly or social – this is the perfect stone for keeping you far away from “drama.” While some people seem to attract fusses like magnets, hematite will repel all that unnecessary, negative, attention-seeking behaviour. From a spiritual and emotional perspective, hematite is a good stone for fostering gratitude for what you have. Appreciating what you have in the here and now is one of the single healthiest things that you can do for your mind and spirit.
Hematite and Healing I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention hematite’s history as a physically healing stone. Hematite has been used for centuries in medicine for a very good reason – it contains iron! Iron deficiency is the cause of many health problems, so it’s only natural that an iron-containing stone would be touted for its healing properties. Hematite has been said to have positive effects on the heart and the circulatory system. It can also ease symptoms that are exacerbated by stress or anxiety, due to its grounding properties. Remember, however: crystology is never an acceptable substitute for professional medical attention! Never use any stone as a replacement for seeing a qualified doctor or medical professional. Furthermore, it should be noted that, due to hematite’s iron content, any sort of healing process that requires you to consume any quantity of the stone should be regarded with extreme caution and skepticism. Iron is an important micronutrient, and if you’re an Ancient Roman, then taking a hematite elixir might be a great way to get it, but it can quickly become toxic if you’re literally eating the metal. Get your iron nutrients from spinach or red meat instead, and save hematite for spiritual nutrition.
How to Use Hematite Crystals for the Best Results Because hematite is both very aesthetically pleasing and relatively inexpensive and common, hematite jewellery is quite easy to procure. As such, a nice range of hematite jewellery is a gery easy thing to collect. When you are preparing for a difficult confrontation (especially one that has to do with money), put on your hematite like armour! This strong, protective stone will keep you emotionally and spiritually safe, and it should be thought of as having that purpose. When you put it on, think of yourself like a knight in a movie putting on his armour before going into battle. This also applies if, for whatever reason, the “energy” of your house itself feels wrong. Many people who believe that their houses are haunted by traumatic memories would benefit from placing some hematite in the house to “suck out” the residual negative energies. If you are suffering from nightmares (or have a partner or child who is), place hematite under your (or their) bed or pillow in order to keep the negative energies that cause nightmares at bay. |

Whereas gold is the metal of the sun, silver is the metal of the moon. Like the moon and water, silver is reflective and used to mirror the soul bringing people calm and balance. Silver is used to 'draw down the moon' during lunar ceremonies, giving the wearer use of the moons energy and protecting them from negativity. Silver's connection to the spiritual life is mostly seen in traditional cultures where people live in union and deep respect for the earth. For example, the Tibetans spiritual silver jewelry is often combined with gemstones and crystals which then resonate their healing vibrations more strongly. Another aspect of the silver natural healing belief is that wearing this jewelry brings the wearer more in tune with the vibrations and flow of the universe. It is the metal of emotions, love and healing. Silver's properties are strongest during the new and full moon.
Silver Metaphysical Properties and Silver Mystical Properties
Silver in Healing Wearing silver jewelry is said to help heal and calm the mind, to help clear the lungs and throat, to increase circulation and purify the blood, to balance hormones and to slow the progression of degenerative brain diseases. Just wearing silver is said to help draw negative energy from the body to make way for positive energy. Any stone used for healing will benefit from being set into silver. Silver is a great conductor of energy, including magic. Any stone set in silver will be amplified and its energy more easily directed.
