MOON LORE
MOONSTONES Ruling
Planet – The Moon The moon casts her soft light, illuminating the mysteries
of the inner and outer worlds. Moonstones are perceived as
a gift from the moon goddess, enhancing the power of the moon
in ritual and magick. Associations are with mystery, dreams,
psychic development, change and connection with the tides of
deep emotion. Other magickal qualities include attunement into nature`s rhythms, creating an awareness of the ebb and flow of the tides; providing guidance and protection during times of change throughout the cycles of life. They aid recognition of illusion and overcome fears that hold one back from the full expression of ones true spiritual nature. They provide protection for journeys; especially travelling over seas. Fertility in all its aspects can be increased through the magick of moonstones. To ensure a fertile and beautiful garden, place a moonstone in the earth and it will add power to growth processes. The adornment of these stones endows the wearer with the enhancement of psychic development and awakens intuition; enabling dreams to become more vivid and clear, shedding clarity on the interpretation of profound symbolism. They are worn to attract love and in a ring can protect love from negative influences that could undermine a relationship. Holding a moonstone in your hands assists attunement before practising divination, and can also be placed with divination tools as a protective influence. But whatever reason or preference for wearing or carrying a moonstone, its beauty and power remain priceless whether in polished or natural form.
SILVER Ruling
Planet – The Moon Silver is the symbolic metal of the moon, and is steeped in tradition; being one of the first metals to be crafted by humans. Its beauty has been used to enhance jewellery and ritual tools throughout the ages, its luminosity exudes a subtle light attracting attention. Silver crystallises in the form of dentritic wires and needle-like crystals forming a durable and reflective metal. Just as the moon acts as reflector for the sun, silver uses its reflective qualities to deflect negative energies returning them to their original source, bestowing the gift of powerful protection. Magically, silver jewellery is worn by mystics and psychics increasing psychic awareness, enhancing intuition and strengthening the silver cord-the subtle link that connects the astral and physical bodies, protecting and elevating astral travel. Initiates wear silver crescents moons representing the sacred symbol of the lunar goddess, intensifying the power of lunar rituals. Catching the reflection of the full moon in silver is a powerful scrying tool; its reflective qualities are symbolic of a mirror, silver is perceived as a mirror of the soul.
SYMBOLISM Symbols are potent images that help bring unconscious knowledge to the light of the conscious mind. They represent a mystical idea through a visual form, creating an instant emotional or spiritual resonance. All spiritual paths use symbols; they can help the indefinable, hidden and mysterious become accessible and defined. When the conscious mind cannot grasp an idea or gain insight into a feeling, symbols act as a conduit for the transference of inner knowing. Symbols are spiritual, magickal tools for the attainment of an altered state of consciousness. They open portals to the unknown and access ancient knowledge that has been buried or forgotten. The crescent is a symbol of the waxing and waning cycles of the moon, creating an awareness of the ebb and flow of the tides; symbolising change, both externally and internally.
The crescent on the right with the horns to the left, symbolise the energy of the waxing moon.
The crescent on the left with the horns to the right, symbolise the energy of the waning moon.
