Amethyst: The Crystal of Transmutation and Inner Peace
Amethyst is not just a quartz of magnetic beauty; it is one of the most powerful tools for any spiritual seeker. In crystal mysticism, it is associated with the violet ray, the frequency of transmutation. Its name comes from the Greek amethystos ("not drunk"), as the ancients believed it protected against drunkenness, both physical and mental.
The Natural Calmant
As Judy Hall explains, amethyst is a natural tranquilizer. It blocks geopathic stress and negative environmental energies. If you suffer from insomnia or nightmares, placing an amethyst under your pillow cleanses the mental field, allowing for a restful and deep sleep.
Enhancing Vision
Like The High Priestess in the Tarot, amethyst guards the threshold of hidden knowledge. Placed over the brow (Third Eye), it opens the door to pure intuition and facilitates states of deep meditation. It is the ideal crystal to accompany your oracle readings, as it helps filter out the noise of the ego to hear the clear voice of the spirit. Remember to cleanse it regularly with sage smoke so its vibration stays at its peak.
