'Northern Lights'

Chakras: All

Key words: magic & protection. 

Element: Wind

Labradorite is a powerful Wind element stone used for magic and divination. Despite its dark outer appearance, it holds a rainbow of brilliant hues visible only when the stone is held in the light. This effect mirrors the energy of this ally, which enables one to move though the unseen realms while purifying one’s energies in the Light.

Labradorite is a stone of Unity.

Labradorite creates a force field throughout the aura, protecting and strengthening the energies within and preventing others from ‘tapping in” to your personal energy and draining you. It can be used to make certain that all the elemental forces are empowered and in proper proportions within one’s energy system.

Spiritually, Labradorite assists one in moving between realities and connecting with unseen realms. It enhances psychic abilities and increases one’s capacity to visualize and perceive with the inner eye.

Emotionally, Labradorite can aid in uncovering unconscious and subconscious belief patterns that generate unpleasant emotional states. It can help one to become clearly aware of the source behind beliefs, self-talk and egoic influences on one’s habitual emotional states.

Physically, Labradorite can help reveal the nature of ‘mystery illnesses’. It can show the patterns that have created disease and can amplify one’s healing thoughts and prayers.

Affirmation: ‘I call forth the clarity and wisdom of higher awareness.’

Hematite is the most effective of all stones for grounding oneself in the body and the physical world. It can counteract spaciness and confusion, helping one to see practical concerns and move forward with useful action. It pulls stray energies down through the meridian system to the root chakra. On the everyday level, wearing Hematite can assist one in bringing one’s dreams and aspirations into reality and in learning the difference between true vision and fantasy. Hematite encompasses both male and female polarities – yin & yang – creating a balanced energy that contains the opposites within the whole. 

Emotionally, it lends one strength, courage and fortitude for moving through adversity. 
 

Physically, Hematite is excellent support for blood and blood production within bone marrow. It can work as a strengthener for the liver and an assist in the detoxification process.  
 

Affirmation: Through my body, I ground the energies of the Light realms in this world.

Keynote: Gentleness & innocence; gentle luring to new adventure.

Cycle of Power: Autumn & Spring

There are many myths of deer luring hunters, or even kings deep into the woods until they are lost and begin to encounter new adventures.

A deer’s senses are very acute. Its vision is designed for clarity at a distance. It is especially effective at detecting contrasts and edges in dim light. Its hearing is equally acute. Anyone who has deer as a totem will find increasing ability to detect subtle movements and appearances. They will begin to hear what may not be said directly.

Key words: natural good, inner truth, immune booster, courage.
