Rose Quartz
Zodiac Sign: Taurus |
Legend says that Eros brought Rose Quartz to earth in
hopes that its beautiful pink colour would arouse love and desire among people. In another legend, Adonis, the lover of the Greek goddess
Aphrodite, was attacked by Ares (the god of War) who came in the form of a bore.
Aphrodite rushed to save him and caught herself on a briar bush. Their mingled blood
stained the white quartz to a pink. Zeus took pity on them and restored Adonis to
Aphoridite for six months of the year. Because of this myth, this stone has become a
symbol of reconciliation in love. Rose Quartz is associated in modern ritual with Isis - an astrologer dropped a piece of this stone into the water that surrounded Isis's temple at Philae in Upper Egypt as a way of keeping contact with the location when she returned home. All through the middle ages until today, this stone has been given as a love charm. It is a wonderful gift for a close friend and is excellent for bringing peace. It is good for ongoing protection against intrusion to act as a barrier. It is also a good stone for grounding after psychic work. Next to a computer it can prevent headaches and eye fatigue or next to the bed during sleep for a good rest.
