Garnets are such fabulous stones - they are
like tiny rivers of red that pour over and over your wrist (or anklet) in such deep
droplets of colour. Each stone is smooth and polished and quite delightful to hold.
According to myth, during night and day, a garnet illuminated Noah's Ark and the skys
turned black with rain. In Eastern Europe, this stone was said to protect the wearer from
Vampires. It was also worn by the Crusaders who believed it would light their way
home. Garnets have been used through the ages to help
release negative energy and to increase ones sense of hope. They help you to build
courage.
These
stones also help for internal balance of energy as well as love, devotion, passion and
courage. Garnets help you to open your heart to love yourself as well as
others.
They also
help to sustain a psychic shield in crowded places or where you feel uncomfortable.
It is
associated with the Root Chakra and helps you to reawaken survival instincts - it helps to
melt frozen feelings and fear. Garnets are also a protection stone and helps you to
overcome writers block and lack of inspiration.
