The blood moon seemed an appropriate time to discuss the energies of this rich and rooted stone. This July 2018 full moon is one of shifting and rebirthing, a time to embrace transformation and a personal evolution.
Garnet can help support this regeneration with its grounding and clarifying energies.
The deep blood red tones of this common stone hints at its affinity to working with issues of love and sex, and reminds us to find the passion in relationships, the passion in facing our problems, the passion to resolve, which is also a passion that can come through as courage in other areas of our lives.
This courage is needed for personal transformation of any kind!
Garnet is the birthstone of the month of January (hey hey baby!) so I’ve been drawn to it from a young age, but it wasn’t until the past few years that I discovered the beauty of garnet in its raw form.
A crystal that naturally grows into complex platonic solids like the dodecahedron? Yes. Please.
I’ve got a tiny nugget of garnet that fits perfectly into the into the nook between the tip of my thumb and a folded index finger, like a little worry stone.
I pull out my garnet when I know I need to work on something, or face a challenge / conflict and I’m trying to keep myself busy avoiding it.
Feeling stagnant or like you need some help with deciding your next move? Reach out for this regenerative and reenergizing stone when you feel you could use some motivation with clarity. Combine this with some water therapy (rivers, the ocean, a lake or even just the bath!) and a healthy splash of Vitamin D for truly transformative results!
