Magical Uses: If you wish to bring a love into your life, buy an emerald and charge it with your magical need through your visualization, perhaps while placing it near a green candle. After this ritual, wear or carry the emerald somewhere near your heart. Do this in such a way that it cannot be seen by others. When you meet a future love, youl1 know it wasn't the visible jewel that attracted him or her. Emeralds are often utilized in business spells and rituals to promote sales and to increase the public's awareness of the firm. The stone is worn to strengthen the memory (it was suggested for this use by the pseudo-Albertus Magnus in the 16th century) as well as to increase understanding and to produce eloquent speech. The stone affects not only the conscious mind, but also the psychic (subconscious) as well, for it increases its wearer's awareness of psychic faculties. Because of this dual effect, the emerald is said to grant all knowledge of the past, present and future. Throughout the world the emerald was worn or utilized in magic for protection. The stone was bound to the left arm with string to guard travelers. Emeralds were given to "possessed" persons to exorcise the evil entity within them. (Many of these persons were epileptic or asthmatic.) Its soothing color caused emeralds to be used as gazing-stones to relieve bleary, tired or weak eyes, and to relax the optic nerve and restore normal sight. Perhaps the most curious usage of emeralds comes from India, where ancient Hindu writings prescribe wearing the stone during sleep to halt nocturnal emissions. For best results in magic, or so the old magicians recorded, an emerald should be set in silver or copper. * You are purchasing a single tumbled stone hand picked by our family of Witchy spiritualists.
