Garnet
For the New Age
movement, the healing powers of garnet can be characterized by
guidance, protection, purification and warmth, especially where
passion is concerned. The legends surrounding garnet show the long
standing history of these healing properties. Garnet has been known
as the stone which was the source of illumination for Noah in the
Ark. Today this semiprecious gem continues to act as a source of
light and guidance for the paths, both physical and metaphysical,
for travelers and those that just feel they could stand to use some
direction. Not only has it been known to guide, it also con provide
enlightenment, creative inspiration and positive energy. Garnet has
also been known (by ancient Egyptians and others) to purify the body
of toxins such as venoms, intestinal and blood poisons. It's
protective capacities revolve around defending against anything that
can bring tension to the mind body or spirit of an individual, up to
and including protection from nightmares, fever, wound infection,
sorrow, anxiety, infidelity and even car accidents.
