PEARL


 

Pearls Historically symbolic of purity, innocence and faith, pearls enhance personal integrity and help clear the mind so that it can be a clean channel for wisdom and spiritual guidance. They were once thought to be the tears of gods.

A pearl necklace worn four thousand years ago by the Persian queen Achemenid can still be admired today. The pearl jewelry of the Queen of Sheba has become legendary. It has been told that Cleopatra served wind with ground pearls in it to her more important guests. In the Bible (Job 28:18) it says "The price of wisdom is above pearls". And Lucifer is said to have broken his teeth due to his craving for pearls. Pearls are from the marine animal kingdom, but most often they are considered precious stones. 


Mystical Properties:
These Moon and Water ruled "gems" enhance sincerely, truth and loyalty. They bring centering and a calming reflection, as well as attune the wearer to the ebb and flow of life.  They are told to give purity, promote faith, charity and integrity, especially personal integrity. Due to its watery and lunar elements, it is quite balancing for the emotions, especially to water signs.

Pearls help one connect with the Goddess, the ultimate feminine energy. They are absorbing by nature and because of this they must be used with caution.  If feeling excessively negative while wearing a pearl, it will hold that energy until it is worn again.

Being that a pearl is created by layer upon layer of substance produced to counteract irritation...it is very nurturing. If used properly, it can lessen stress and it's resulting maladies, such as hypertension, headaches, and exhaustion.

If using peals with other gemstones consider diamonds to amplify and purify, or emeralds to bring the negative energy out and disperse it.  Cleanse often to allow to recharge.


Healing Properties:
It is told that drinking pearl water regularly over a long period of time will stabilize the production of hormones in the body. 

Chronic headaches and migraines may be alleviated or completely cured by wearing a pearl necklace directly on the skin.  

Pearls also help to reduce allergies.  They are said to help in the treatment of stomachaches, colds, bronchitis and lung infections. 


Magical Properties:
Pearls, just as amber, jet, fossils, mother of pearl, and other substances used in magic, is the product of a previously living creature. Some believe that due to the fact that the oyster must die to remove the pearl, that there is a heavy debt incurred by those who engage in trafficking pearls, as well as those who wear and use them. The choice is yours...you will know intuitively whether you can use them or not.

Pearls are intimately connected to the moon, so much so so that some will wear or use them only at night, during the moon's domain.
