December 14: this alluring gem can exhibit a range of hues, from light orange to dark red-brown. Throughout history, Carnelian was named the Sunset Stone, because of its warm and fiery energy often associated with the sun. In Ancient Egypt, it was related to the mother goddess Isis and symbolized regeneration. In Medieval times, it was also referred to as the Artist's Stone for its presumed creative stimulation and was worn to ward off misfortune. Ancient Romans and Greeks used to wear Carnelian stones to battle to give them courage and physical power ⚡️
Carnelian is thought to reduce anger and resentment. Its energy is believed to be soothing and effective to calm an overactive mind and overcome self-doubt. It is claimed to increase physical vitality by lessening fatigue symptoms and impact general health and fertility. On the spiritual level, healers link Carnelian with active male energy. It is said to help balance body energy levels to stimulate personal transformation and growth while shielding its wearer from harm. Although strongly related to the Sacral chakra, Carnelian is often employed to align the Root and Solar Plexus chakras ✨✨
Carnelian gems in all their types are worn in jewelry, such as earrings, rings, bracelets, pendants, and necklaces. It is important to cleanse and charge your stones properly for an optimized use of their energetic benefits. After all 24 advent windows are opened and all stones/crystals are revealed, I will post how to suitably cleanse and recharge your stones. Stay tuned!
