Birth Stone Lore:

Amethyst is a healing stone, it grants it’s properties of health of mind and body to all who are born under it, or who wear it on their person.  Amethyst can aid in sleep and dream magick, as well as adding calming energies to any place it is kept.

Bloodstone is a stone of heart and healing.  Any with heart ailments should wear amulets or charged bloodstones.

Black Onyx can help to break bad habits and to help absorb unwanted negativity.

Moonstone is sacred to the Goddess.  When combined in a charm with both amber and jet, it can grant mystical energies to the wearer.  The iridescent colours of Moonstone make it a powerful tool for meditation focal point, especially for those trying to reach a deeper connection with the Goddess and Femininity in the Mothering stage.  A round Moonstone is a perfect representation of a full moon, and may be used as such in a High Priestess adornment.
