This beautiful and soothing
crystal has always been one of my personal favorites. It helped my through many difficult times, and
I’ve used aquamarines in many spells and
rituals. Stones come handy for a cancerian ( zodiac ) like myself , as we need
a lot of calming, mind healing, focusing and sharpening, grounding , even
protection. Aquamarine is no exception, furthermore, it’s a proper friend and guide, rather than just
some tool , or charm J

( look footnotes ) |
It’s a type of Beryl , along with other common
varieties that include Morganite, Emerald and Heliodore. It can occur in blue,
deep blue and pale or golden yellow
color ( often called “aquamarine chrysolite “
despite the fact that it’s not type of chrysolite ) ,which depends on
presence of Fe ions. Normally Fe2+ ions cause the typical marine blue color of Aquamarine, while
Fe3+ cause yellow or gold color.
If both type of ions are present the
dark blue variety of Aquamarine will occur ( referred often as Maxixe ) , or
this color can be attained by “bombarding” crystals with specific amounts of
radiation. Same goes for “pink” and
“green” aquamarine. The last two are
useless , maybe even slightly harmful in
crystal therapy, and are not used in
crystal magick. In this article
we will focus on the variety used in spiritual ( crystal ) healing and
magick, which is pale, marine blue stone.
Following are magickal
correspondences regarding Aquamarine based on crossrefrencing various
literature / authors ( see footnotes )
·
Planetary ruler – Moon
·
Elemental ruler – Water
·
Numerical correspondence – 1
·
Energy – receptive
·
Birthstone of
- Pisces, Aries, Gemini
·
Time of Year* –
Ostara, Summer in general
·
Angelic
ruler – Gabriel
So we see that, Aquamarine is
correspondent to Moon , Water element and is a receptive stone. It resonates
with numerical value of the number 1 [1]
and is associated with all sort of deities
that reside in the Sea/s and Ocean/s . I think it’s pretty clear that it
corresponds to the throat chakra
Ancient lore speaks of this stone
as popular fishermen’s and sailor’s talisman against drowning and
shipwrecks, and is even today widely used as safe trip charm during
traveling by water transportation means.
An revered, late author Sir Scott Cunningham speaks
of this,
talismanic use of this stone:
“Aquamarine is worn or carried as a protective amulet while
sailing or flying over water. When packing for a trip on water, whether a river
cruise or a journey across the Pacific Ocean, tuck an aquamarine
in your suitcase to guard against storms. Fishermen and
sailors have long made it their special amulet against danger. “ [2]
Same author also suggests it as a purification stone, and a well suited gift for conjugal
happiness, if the mates are to exchange
these.
It was also
believed to give courage, and
fights the spirits of darkness, while attracting the spirits of light
[3]
It’s considered to be a lucky charm of those individuals
that are born in March or October. It’s considered widely to be a birthstone o f
the Pisces.
In crystal therapy
Various sources
suggest Aquamarine , as a very versatile and powerful healing stone**
In crystal healing It’s used to treat inflammations, swollen
glands, thyroid associated conditions , sometimes also conditions related to
thymus, it’s used to treat the respiratory tract inflammations, pneumonia, it
acts as tonic for detoxification organs
. It is also widely used, and reputed to be extremely efficient in treating
infections of jaw, teeth, and eyes, as well as improving the eyesight and
general mouth cavity health.
Mentally it calms the mind,
wipes out effects of stress, brings tranquility, aids meditation, and
helps us finishing the things we started, get back on track, removes confusion and sharpens the intellect.
It can be placed on the thorat chakra, or where needed.
Crystal essence is great mind tonic, and is also said to strengthens psychic abilities. Pair
can be placed on eyes, and it’s placed under pillow to help prevent nightmares and bring about tranquil, restful sleep.
Now, here are some ideas on “practical” applications of the
ston e in spell casting and rituals, this is a practical type of blog,
ya’ know :P
Overpower evil
Aquamarine charm
Aquamarine is said to confer
to power to conjure the De**l
himself, and to force him to speak trutfully and resist his deception and fascination, If only the stone
was to be hid in the mouths and remain there. [4]
I can see how that could/would work, more so If the stone
would be inscribed with a let’s say image of Scorpio, SDPNQCN charm, SATOR
square, David’s star with Tetragramaton inscribed.
So here is how I would do it :
Inscribe a flat or thumbed Aquamarine with an Hexagram ( David’s Star , Hebrew Star ) , that holds Tetrgramaton in it’s Centre.
Read the Psalm 91st , the 125th and 10th
over the crystal, and then the following
words ( You can do it as many times as You see fit )
“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” [5]
If You have , You
may add few drops of “Victory over evil”
oil on the stone, upon finishing with the praying or even before.
Otherwise, placing it in small amount of
Holy water overnight, somewhere where
the light of the Full Moon may reach it,
is equally good alternative.
Consecrated in this manner, Aquamarine will make a
charm against evil spirits “par
excellence” , and if such stone would be placed in the mouths
while dealing with demons, it would
indeed be a fine protection from their deception or misbehavior. Hence would make an amazing charm for
practitioners of Higher magick.
If You can not carve the stone ,
You could alternatively draw the symbol on a small parchment paper, tie it to, or wrap around the stone.
Aquamarine psychic charm and ritual
As we have seen Aquamarine is widely
reputed to be a stone that strengthens psychic powers.
You can make a crystal charm bag:
·
Aquamarine
stone
·
Hawk’s
eye stone
·
Cherry
Opal stone
And carry with You, place under pillow and on forehead to strengthen the ESP abilities, such as;
precognition, intuition, psychometry,
clairvoyance and other.
To dream of the Future, or anything You want to know, to
have prophetic dreams, try and make a
smaller amount of “Lunar slime” with Aquamarine placed in water , making thus
also an Aquamarine essence. Then, the
next day make the same amount of Mugwort infusion. Combine the two together,
and drink , prior to the sleep , and place the Aquamarine under Your pillow.
You make say the question aloud, or in
Your head, during prior to falling asleep.
Aquamarine
honesty spell
This spell is intended to
give someone courage, and inspire them to be open and trutful to
You. When I wrote it I was not aiming
for coercive , compelling truth spell
effect , like commonly sought by people . With that
being said this spell will help someone be honest to You, but will not cause
someone to tell You the truth even If
they would never normally do so,
this spell will inspire people to confide to You or be honest, as much as
possible in their situation .
Like most of “crystal-centered” spells it’s fairly simple;
·
Obtain
a photo of the person , and write their name ( and birth date if known ) on the
back of it. Fumigate it with Vanilla incense stick ( the photo ) or Deer’s
tongue incense ( or both )
·
Then
place on the photo Aquamarine crystal, If the throat of the person shows on the
photo, place it on their throat
·
Say
the following words :
“Open
thy mind, open thy heart
Release
the words, locked inside
Courageously
and honestly,
Speak
clearly and truthfully! “
·
Repeat
for Seven days, unless You think once
will do ( let’s say person in question is just mildly dubious about whether
they should confide to You or not, for example )
Many Blessings, Shadow :)
