Some Words of Introduction

Stones

Since early childhood I have had an affinity for stones of all types. Here, within the realm of adulthood, my love of stones has blossomed to include studies of the various energetic attributes of assorted crystals, gems and minerals and the effects they can have on our well-being, our relationships, our lives.
Several of my closest and dearest friends also relate significantly to our earthy chunks of beauty. I think we agree that their influence is signicicant enough for further exploration, study and practice.
From 'worry stones' in your pocket to hot stone massage, salt scrubs and mud baths to the jewels on the breastplate of Moses and his brother Aaron, and the crowns of European royalty, the rings, pins, bracelets, pendants and baubles bedecking so many of us today, we humans have for milennia made the earth element an important and beneficial part of our lives.

Herbs

So too, and even more biologically imperative is our relationship with herbs. The importance of herbs surpasses their ability to season our food. The health benefits of herbs constitute the first and foremost vitamin supplements of mankind and are often used thusly to this day.
Within this blog we shall examine various stones and assorted herbs and discuss some of their properties.

ETC.

This forum will not stop with these two topics. we will look at how they can relate and work together toward achieving a desired result. Also we will include information on essential oils, Angels, and just about anything else that comes up and seems appropriate. Reader input is welcomed and encouraged.

Diamond

Our first little gem we shall look at is our friend, the diamond. As we all know, the diamond is the hardest of the stones, so hard in fact that it has numerous rough and tumble industrial uses as well as gracing the the left ring finger of most married women of the Western World.
The diamond, in its hardness, represents strength and longevity and therefore is supposed to add these attributes to a marriage. No matter how fine the diamond is, though, it will not fulfil this purpose without that specific intention applied to its acquisition and wear. Pride and vanity are often the prevailing factors in the choice of a diamond and little attention (if any) is paid to asking the stone to provide or share its fine attributes to the relationship it is meant to seal.
I did not know how to do this or that it was essential to do this, and my marriage ended after thirty-three years together. It is not the fault of the ring, but of the two of us who failed to understand the significance of our vows and the needful support we were each responsible to actively give to the relationship and each other. Had we employed the diamond and renewed our intention with its supportive energies, we would be married still.
Do not take your diamonds lightly. They have massive potential and great energy which will enhance whatever thoughts and emotions prevail in their presence. Use them with wisdom, love, humility and they will bless you throughout life.
