Healing with Rosemary Herb

Rosemary Herb

Rosemary is native to the coastal Mediterranean region although grown all over the world.  Its stimulating, and its medicinal effects are recognized by ancient healers who would often turn to rosemary for its memory-enhancing qualities. Rosemary is also   use in aromatherapy and is in high demand. Rosemary oil is known to aid mental clarity and stimulate the central nervous system. The essential oil is also often used in bath and body products, such as soaps, shampoos and bath salts. To produce the oil, the needle like leaves must be harvested before the plant blossoms, and then dried. More than 200 pounds of leaves are used to produce about a quart of oil by steam distillation.

In Natural Medicine and Nutritional Healing Rosemary is stated to fight free radicals, inflammation, bacteria, and even fungi. Its used to relax the stomach, stimulate circulation and digestion, and act as an in-stringent and decongestant. Rosemary may improve circulation to the brain as well as to detoxify the liver. Some evidence suggests that Rosemary should not be used during pregnancy. It is known to help with headaches, high and low blood pressure, circulatory problems, and menstrual cramps. Rosemary may be used as an antiseptic gargle.

In herbal magic rosemary is sometimes used as a substitute for rue by adding a pinch of black pepper. Rosemary’s own magical healing properties include exorcism, healing, love, lust, purification and as an herb with planetary associations to the sun it promotes healing, protection, success, illumination, magical power, energy and even may be used in conjunction with other herbs to end legal matters. Rosemary is linked to the element of Fire which may aid in promoting communication, defensive magic, physical strength, magical power, courage, will power and purification.

In crystal healing selenite is used over the crown chakra to open it and may be felt clearing away physical and emotional toxins and negative patterns. It should be used only for a few minutes in this way with smoky quartz between the feet, unless being used by an experienced crystal healer. It may be used as an environmental piece in the home and in a meditation space to clear the energy.  It allows a flow of high frequency energy to balance all the chakra centers, aligning them all with spiritual purpose. Selenite is known to enable an enhanced awareness of enlightenment.

The name selenite is from the Greek moon goddess Selene. It is a hydrated calcium sulfate and a type of gypsum. It is a common mineral that forms in sedimentary environments and often around hot springs.

Incense -Natural Herbal Magic

by Rocks and Plants

Incense is a substance burned which releases a variety of different vibrations and energies depending on what substances are used to make up the powder base mixture. Incenses are composed of a variety of leaves, flowers, roots, barks, woods, resins, gums and oils. Semiprecious stones are sometimes added to incenses to lend their mineral properties to the mixture. Some ancient people are believed to have burned semi precious stones in fires for spiritual purposes although we now know that burning gemstones and minerals are not necessary. In many cases simply storing minerals and gemstones with the plant material before use is sufficient to blend and promote the different mineral properties with the plants.

When the incense is smoldered in a spiritual setting like a ritual it undergo’s a transformation. The vibrations are no longer trapped in their physical form and are released into the environment. The energies mix with the surroundings and may be transferred out into the air and used to affect changes related to the inherent properties of that natural incense. The energy manifests and is available to be directed to desired goals, or used in scrying and divination.

There are two forms of incense generally used in spiritual settings.

Combustible - Contains potassium nitrate(saltpeter) to aid in burning in the form of bricks, cones, sticks and other shapes.

Non Combustible - does not contain an extra substance to aid in burning. Non Combustible incense is a powder mixture of herbs, plant resins, and/or barks and must be sprinkled or set onto a glowing charcoal block or hot rock to release the essence by smoldering.

The charcoal block for non-combustible incense, or the combustible incense stick, cone or brick needs to be placed in a censer. The censer is an incense burner; or a heat resistant bowl or a cup that is ½ filled with the dirt, salt, or sand and serves as a censer. The dirt, sand or salt absorbs the heat from the charcoal block and may prevent a bowl from cracking. Other natural objects may be used for censors such as large rocks (away from burnable vegetation and protected from winds) that may have indentations or holes that are large enough to place sand and a charcoal block into. Large sea shells filled with sand or salt may also be used outdoors as censers.

Instructions for Divining with A Stone Tarot Gemstone Set by rocksandplants 

As with most divination tools a stone tarot is best used while visualizing a specific question or specific area where help is needed. That is in order to obtain a clearer answer. More than one casting of stones may be done on one question or issue in order to obtain better answers. 

A stone tarot may be cast and read best by laying five stones in order, as they are pulled out of a bag, onto a each point of a pentagram ( or drawn grid) starting at the first upper right point and finishing at the top point. The stones are chosen from 22 natural rock crystal gemstones that relate to the major arcana like that of the most popular card tarot decks. Some of the name symbolism of the stones differ from the card tarot, however the meanings are similar to that of the card tarot decks. See the tarot meaning list below. For example the crystal point symbolizes The Shaman or Magician which represents magical attainment while turquoise in this set symbolizes the Goddess or Empress which represents receptive energy, fertility, abundance etc. Here the fool is represented by the agate which if chosen may indicate that the stone caster or one choosing the stones may be light headed and naive, not usually sad just oblivious to a current lack of achievements and in more of a child like state. See the tarot meaning list below or use your own. The person who’s reading is being done is the person who chooses the five stones from the bag. Once the stones are placed on each point of the pentagram then they are read in order(1-5): As with rune stone casting and tarot cards, the reading is based on the “type” of stone and its “positioning” (on the grid)in connection with the stones nearest to it. The person pulling the stones from the bag should not be too familiar with the stones and what each represents simply because an answer may then be inadvertently manipulated. The stones are chosen from a bag or secure container to keep their identity secret until the reading is underway.

Tarot meaning also from various online sources and experience.

[rocksandplants]

Cedar trees were once believed to be the home to the god of wisdom and creation, known as the World Tree itself and an important tree for oracles and prophesy. It was once commonly believed that the Oracle of “Heaven and Earth”  delivered under a cedar-tree. The ancients believed that if the highest god lived in the cedar tree then cedar should be used to panel the temples so they would resemble the inside of the sacred tree. Although cedar is not commonly native to Israel or Judea, it is mentioned in the Bible many times under its Hebrew name erez; the root of the word meaning “to be firm”. Bible passages indicate that cedarwood may be used for ritual cleansing, and it is mentioned in its growth to be compared to that of the righteous man. Cedarwood was once used by the Egyptians as an ingredient for cosmetics, perfumes and the mummification process. Native Americans were known to burn cedarwood as a purification. It is used in magic to promote healing, protection, success, illumination, magical power, physical energy, and to end legal matters. Cedarwood may be used also for courage, communication, will power and money. Today, in aroma therapy it is still used to promote spirituality, balance and a sense of tranquility. The oil is used for its calming  and healing properties. Cedar is known to relieve skin conditions and may help  with acne, oily skin, and upper respiratory and urinary-tract infections. Cedarwood may also be useful for infections, as a diuretic, a sedative and sometimes known to relieve anxiety and nervousness.
