Rubies
Energy: Projective.
Planet: Mars, The Sun.
Element: Fire.
Deities: Buddah, Krishna (Not to be confused with the modern expression of Krishna-centered reverence).
Powers: Wealth, Protection, Power, Joy, Anti-nightmare, Love, Healing, and Scrying.
Magical/Ritual Lore: This beautiful stone was considered the most perfect offering to Buddah in China and Krishna in India. A widely held belief is that dreaming of Rubies indicates coming success in business or money matters. If dreamt of by a gardener or farmer, the Ruby denotes a good harvest. This stone is one of many that is thought to grow dark when danger is near or negativity approaches its owner or when illness threatens. In this sense the Ruby can be used as a tool of scyring.
Magical Uses: Rubies are truly precious stones, it is considered to be the most powerful gem in the universe, and is associated with many astral signs. To own a ruby is said to have contentment and peace. Perfect specimens of a deep, blood red hue are outrageously expensive but are the best for using in magic. In thirteenth-century magic, Rubies were well established as wealth-increasing stones. They were specially effective if engraved with the image of a dragon or snake before using. Ancient magic from India states that the possession of Rubies helps their owner to accumulate other precious gems. Worn, the Ruby was thought to convey invulnerability, or protection against all foes, wicked spirits, negativity, plague, fascination (magical manipulation), and famine. It also was a special mascot for soldiers, guarding against wounds in battle. Basically, the Ruby strengthens the body's own psychic defense system when worn, the Ruby works with the flow of blood as an aid to circulation. It aids the cleansing and removal of infection or germs in the blood. The Ruby is filled with love. It also helps sexual love to be more passionate. Persons lacking in self-love should have and mediate on the Ruby. It also gives the courage to be best potential that a person has. The Ruby in the home guards it against storms and negativity, especially if first touched to the four outside corners of the house. Similarly, touching trees or the boundaries of a garden magically protects them from lightning and the effects of violent storms. Ruled by Mars, the Ruby is worn during magical rituals to increase the energies available to the magician or it is placed on the altar beside a red candle to lend energy to you when you're feeling depleted or drained. In a similar line of magical influence, wearing a Ruby is said to increase the body's warmth. Jewelry set with Rubies is worn to banish sadness and negative thought patterns, such jewelry also produces Joy, strengthens will power and confidence, and also dispells fear. The Ruby may be worn in jewelry, but never close to the solar plexus, as the Ruby has a disquieting effect upon it. Ruby rings should be worn on the left hand so as to receive the life force and have protection. Placed beneath the pillow or worn to bed, it assures restful sleep, undisturbed by nightmares. Given as a gift, the Ruby is a symbol of friendship and love. The ruby is also the symbol of vitality and royalty. Star Rubies, those rare stones with a naturally occurring six-pointed star, are thought to be particularly potent in protective and other forms of magic, since a spirit was thought to dwell within it. Star Rubies can also be used as Divinatory tools by gazing at the crossed lines of light.
