Botswana Agate, A Protective Influence

Agates were highly prized by the ancients. Too often, the modern human looks at a stone and decides its value on the basis of its price. Agate? Bah. They'd rather have a diamond. Yet, it is often the inexpensive agate that's more useful in a magickal working.

When you cut a raw Botswana Agate, you may find an "eye" inside-- an emblem of protection against evil. We have also found Amethyst inside, a crystal highly regarded for its power to improve your insight and your ability to divine the future. When we think of prosperity stones, we often think about stones that draw money like a magnet, with Lodestone being the classic example. However, we should also think about the stones that protect and defend us from problems, big and small, that would otherwise drain our bank account. Botswana Agate is a good stone to have in your pocket when you need a protector.

Here are some stones cut for the Peachfront Press collection:

A Mystery Agate in Peach and Purple

We've been diving deep over the last few months at Peachfront Press, and we'll soon have exciting news about the upcoming book, as well as supporting audio meditations. When you experiment with crystal magick, you can't take any shortcuts. There's a lot of working the stones to see what results you get-- a lot of tinkering and adjustments, a lot of trial and error.

Here's an interesting batch of peach and purple Agates from an unknown source that we recently pulled out of the tumbler. The peachy / orange color combined with purple speaks to me in mysterious ways, but I'm not sure yet what the message is. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any suggestions.

The oddly harmonious blend of peachy orange and lavender seems to stimulate the imagination... but to what purpose? Only time and testing will tell.

Blue Lace Agate: The Calm in the Storm

Thought for the day: Sometimes we get so rushed doing the urgent that we don't get around to the important. It may not be an original thought, but it's a timely one. I mostly talk about prosperity stones, but everything is connected, and it's hard to feel prosperous when we feel hurried. Time is, after all, the greatest of all luxuries.

To support a calm environment and to gather scattered thoughts back under control, try placing the beautiful Blue Lace Agate on your desk or on your heart, throat, or "third eye" spot during your next crystal meditation session. Even the look of it is soothing.
