My final Chakra Pyramid ...

Yesterday afternoon, I picked up my last and final chakra pyramid of three which my spiritual advisor had special ordered for me from a woman who creates them and who lives in Canada. These pyramids are made to order and can not be ordered or found anywhere online. Erica has a patent on them and created them to specific measurements, sizes, colors, gemstones, etc.

These pyramids are used for various purposes and should be used as to your individual needs. They are the only chakra pyramids of their kind.

My first pyramid was created to aid in balancing. All of these pyramids have a mirror on the inside of them.

My second is for love and harmony ...

The final pyramid (and the largest one of the three) is one which I was asked to create for myself. I picked the gemstones and colors, and I chose to use this one for elemental spell work, meditations, etc. I used blue (Water/West), yellow (Air/East), red (Fire/South), and green (Earth/North).  I picked the corresponding gemstones for each side and a large amethyst crystal at the top to represent Spirit.

This last pyramid took months to receive as there were a couple of life delays, but I am very grateful to have finally gotten it. I love it and it was well worth the wait! I am currently re-arranging my reiki room in order to find the perfect place for it.

The Passion of the Earth

Infinite Spirit, when I pray each day

for shelter for the homeless,

let me not ingore the pet without a home;

 

As I ask protection for those in areas

of turmoil and unrest,

let me not forget endangered species of life;

 

When I pray that the hungry be fed,

let me be mindful

that all God's creatures have need of sustenance;

 

As I ask Devine assistance for those afflicted

by fire, flood, earthquake, storm or drought,

let me remember that this includes every living thing;

 

In seeking miracle cures for human disease,

may I also speak for the well-being of the planet itself

 

Let the words of my mouth,

the meditation of my heart

and the actions of my life be as one,

that I may live each day in harmony

with Mother Earth

An Invocation of the Triple Goddess and God

This is an easy little invocation of the Triple Goddess and Triple God, and it is one that I use for various rituals and meditations. All you need is:

One white, one red and one black candle to honor the Triple Goddess of Maiden, Mother and Crone. In addition, you will also need one yellow, one green and one gold candle to represent the Triple God of Lord, Father and King.

Start by lighting the Goddess candles while repeating the following words:

(white) ~ "Blessed be the Maiden, innocent and fresh."
(red)    ~  "Blessed be the Mother, fertile and loving." 
(black) ~ "Blessed be the Crone, powerful and wise!"

 

Then light the God candles and repeat as follows:

(yellow) ~ "Blessed be the Lord, gentle and kind."
(green)  ~ "Blessed be the Father, protective and warm."
(gold)   ~  "Blessed be the King, forever reborn!"

(You may, of course, wish to add your own names to fit your own tradition, etc. Just a suggestion, another good name to use in place of "King" is "Sage.")

Gemstones and Jewelry

I come to you in gentle love,

Uniting Earth with Heaven above;

Be peaceful children and never afraid,

For in love and light we all were made -

Youngest species, human child;

Learn to be gentle, loving and mild,

I teach you ALL, birth, death and rebirth

Together we can create Heaven on Earth.

~ Amethyst Prayer

Even as a small child, gemstones and rocks of all kinds had always held a certain fascination for me. The shapes and colors are so beautiful, especially when worn as jewelry. When I began studying Wicca and all that it generally entails, I couldn't wait to learn about all the various gemstones with their properties and meanings. 

Among my favorites, have always been my birthstone amethyst and amber (actually a resin, of course) which is also traditionally worn by Druid High Priests and Priestesses. Here are just a few more of the stones I love ...

Amethyst ~ used to increase psychic ability. It is also known as the "sobriety stone" and is good for protection.

Rose Quartz ~ known as the "love and friendship" stone and adds strength to relationships.

Snowflake Obsidian ~ You can use this stone by closing your eyes and picking one. The spots will depict the number of Guardian Angels guiding you on the course you have chosen.

Tree Agate ~ Worn to gain tolerance, patience and acceptance. Also enhances endurance.

Lapis Lazulli ~ Wonderful medication stone and helps bring clarity to any situation.

Rhodochrosite ~ known as the Inca Rose brings acceptance and forgiveness to all relationships. Bathe this stone in rosemary to aid with meditating about your relationships.

Moss Agate ~ Promotes simplicity, peace and happiness. Scatter several of these stones across your garden plants to bring about their abundance.

Pink Botswana ~ Helps to accept oneself as one actually is. Gives gratitude and security. Eliminates animosity and brings people with shared beliefs into your life if you focus on unity.

It is so truly amazing to me how many beautiful gemstones there are and how absolutely exqisite they look when worn! They are wonderful reminders of how breath-taking our Mother Earth truly is.

Those who befriend me know and see,

The Earth in Her eternity

Healing and wise, protective and strong,

I sing to you a loving song;

A tiny Earth Mother in your hand,

Expression of Air, Fire, Water and Land,

My charge always has been and always will be,

Heal the Earth as I heal thee!

~Agate Prayer

THANKSGIVING WISHES & a Prayer

Harvest your wishes, harvest your dreams

Gather in stardust, reap the Moon's beams;

All things are possible ~ but love the Earth first,

She feeds your hunger and quenches your thirst;

Life never ending of Autumn I sing,

Yes, winter cometh, but comes then the Spring

I sing of the season's, Earth Mother's great wheel,

Attune to the rhythm to harvest and heal.

 ~ Carnelian Prayer

Daily Meditations

If you do not find peace in yourself,

You will never find it anywhere else.

Until you make peace with who you are,

You will never be content with what you have.

Remember that we are not strangers,

But friends that have not yet met.
