charms and talisman

[Levinthross]

no problem i have a connection with animals mainly dogs but the same kind of connect with plants i live in a heavily squirrel populated area due to littering and such so its not uncommon to find a dead squirel around here if you look i was planning to use that.

[Kadesh]

 Ah, I see. It sounds a bit like when I find a carcass and keep the bones. Just watch out for lice and mites. You're bringing fur home... you don't want any surprises.

[Levinthross]

ok thanx reminds me of the time i got bit by a "dead" snake

[Kadesh]

  Oh man... talk about a surprise!!

[Levinthross]

yep yep who new some snakes had teeth?

[Kadesh]

 Uhm... Don't all snakes have teeth?? Fangs at the very least... I'm pretty sure they do...

[LeXtruX]

Uhm... Don't all snakes have teeth?? Fangs at the very least... I'm pretty sure they do...

Nope, boa constrictor is teethless... Also, if they have teeth it's usually 2, to insert venom or to kill the prey. Sometimes they have 4, but I'm not sure.

[Kadesh]

 Well, anything around my area has teeth. Levin... what kind of snake was it? That would clear all this up in a hurry. lol

[Levinthross]

it was a gopher or a corn snake i have the skin but were not talking fangs or prehensile grabbing apparatus more like full rows of small pointy teeth like catfish teeth.

[Kadesh]

 Yeah... still not surprised they have teeth. But that's ok.


Any thoughts on why I get so attached to things, Levi? For example, I was in a crystal/mineral shop and picked up bloodstone. I couldn't put it down. I had to have it. My hand wrapped around the rock so tightly that it left imprints. Needless to say, I bought it. It's still sitting in my car, and when I'm stressed, I grab it and, for some freaking reason, it helps calm me down.

[Levinthross]

omg i love bloodstone well its there charm or there magical sort of conductivity can be likened to a circuit board alot of times these circuits amplify our powers these things we are attached to like bloodstone is a biggy with me so is ivy and bloodstones nature or personality per say is like salt. specificallly comparing salts ability to make things taste more like themselves bloodstone helps you focus yourself inward almost always calming someone down and increasing there ability to very easily and powerfully conduct magic although most people only get a reaction when there in physical contact. but being a stone that progresses the internalization of onself it is a selfish stone in the a way as it is a poor conducter of outside energy and even worse at storing it it should be seen as merely a flow point in your energy circuitry.


that or you could be part crow and love shiny tings.

[Kadesh]

 It's not really that shiny though. I've started carrying it with me at work now too. Dunno why.

[Muerte]

Yeah... still not surprised they have teeth. But that's ok.

  Perhapse you will also find a reason here.

  Elements/Planets
Bloodstone corresponds to the element of fire, and can be worn or carried to increase vitality. It's used in magic rituals that call on the qualities of fire: purification, energy, warmth and action.  It is associated with the planet Mars, which is named after the Roman war god. Thus, bloodstone can be carried by soldiers for strength, victory, courage and protection.  Chalcedony stones also correspond to the moon and the element of water, and bloodstone is used to develop the watery quality of intuition. Meditating with the stone helps in remembering past lives and contacting ancestors.

Balance
Bloodstone is a balancing stone and it helps to create harmony between opposing factions and conflicting personal emotions by calming anxiety and fear. It should be placed in an area where arguments are expected to occur.


  Healing
As its name implies, bloodstone is used for all manner of blood problems such as anemia and circulation. Women have used bloodstone to ease menstrual pain and prevent miscarriage.   Green stones are also considered good all-around healers. It can be laid on the specific area of the body that needs healing or carried on the person.  Bloodstone is as powerful for healers as it is for people in need of healing. Witches, magicians and energy workers use bloodstone to balance themselves and to increase their capacity to channel healing energy to the recipient.

  Protection
Bloodstone is used in invisibility spells when the magician wants to keep a low profile. It's still carried for protection much as the ancient Babylonians did. Placed under the pillow at night, bloodstone protects against nightmares and guides dreamers safely through astral travel. Bury the stone near doors and windows for protection against intruders.


  Wealth
Green is the color of wealth, and bloodstone is carried for good luck as well as used in spells to increase business. It can also be placed in the four corners of a place of business to draw in customers or in the cash register to attract money.  A prosperity grid can be created around a room by alternating bloodstone and clear quartz crystals. The quartz acts a magnifier and increases the money-drawing aspects of bloodstone. The grid can be kept in place all the time and recharged periodically through meditation. This can also be used as a method of charging several bloodstones to be placed elsewhere.

[Levinthross]

and all lbood stone works better if you actually feed your blood to it

[Kadesh]

 Yeah, Muerte, that helps. The Balance and Healing aspects are why I'm so attached to it. Now if they only had a stone for letting go...


Uhm... Levin.... my bloodstone doesn't actually have a mouth...
