December 2: Red Jasper is called the "Blood of Mother Earth" by Native Americans because of its dark deep red color. They believe that it facilitates rebirth. Red Jasper is a quartz stone that Ancient Egyptians associated with the blood of Isis. It also appears in the Old Norse tale of Siegfried the Dragon Slayer whose sword had a red jasper in its hilt. These very old civilizations worked with it to ward off evil spirits and its healing properties ⚡️
The common symbolic meaning of Red Jasper is determination, strength, and grounding/connection to Earth. It is thought to have unique emotional, physical, and spiritual healing attributes such as anxiety relief, courage, growth, and wisdom. It hence comes as no surprise that it is linked to motivation, manifestation, and goal achievement. It is also claimed to absorb unharmonious vibrations and heal traumas caused by negative effects in the past. Many shamans and healers often wear it in amulets and talismans to protect themselves ✨
The uses of Red Jasper are multiple: wearing it as a ring, a bracelet, a pendant, earrings, or a necklace to instill braveness and vitality; decorating your home or office with it in the form of beads, ornamental items -skulls are prized by healers, or even kitchen slabs/countertops; or meditating with it and activating your root chakra. This remarkable gemstone can facilitate energy flow between all chakras, which makes it a special tool and is said to facilitate the awakening of the Kundalini. More on this in a future post ⚡️
Let's see what tomorrow's stone will be!
