The ancient Egyptians used fluorite to carve statues and scarabs, the Chinese have used it in carvings for over 300 years. In the 18th century, fluorite was powdered in water to relieve the symptoms of kidney disease.

Fluorite is said to absorb and neutralize negative vibrations. It makes one more receptive to the vibrations of other stones. Fluorite should be kept in every room of the home. Fluorite is known as the "Genius Stone".

Large patches of yarrow growing in a field indicate a very grounded energy spot. Sit there to center and relax. Yarrow is used to exorcise evil and negativity from a person, place or thing.  A common herb in love spells, yellow yarrow is included in wedding decorations and hung over the bridal bed to ensure a love lasting at least seven years. Yarrow attracts friends and draws attention from those you wish to see. Make the flowers into a tea to improve psychic powers. Yarrow is an important herb when healing someone burdened by troubled emotions, helping cleanse them of an unhealthy sorrow or depression which has lasted for too long. Modern lore recommends waiting for the first Yarrow bloom and using it to make a wish which should manifest prior to the harvest. The flowers are often included in rituals of union and are considered sacred to the Horned God. Combine Yarrow with Nettle to treat fear and self-negation.

Ancient magicians relied upon Black Tourmaline, known as Schorl, to protect them from earth demons as they cast their spells. Today this stone is still revered as a premier talisman of protection, a psychic shield deflecting and dispelling negative energies, entities, or destructive forces.
