Welcome,
Starlit soul,
To the circle of moonlight and magic,
Where the ancient stones awaken once more and whisper their secrets to those who listen.
Tonight the air is different.
Can you feel it?
There's a hush,
Like velvet,
A stillness wrapped in lavender and stars.
That's because the amethyst has arrived.
Amethyst,
The stone of spiritual sleep and sacred sight,
A gem as old as dreams,
As soft as the night sky,
And as powerful as a priestess's chant echoing through the forest.
Long ago,
Mystics believed amethysts were drops of frozen wine spilled by Dionysus himself,
A divine nectar turned to crystal to protect mortals from intoxication.
And indeed,
This stone has long been used to clear the mind,
Soothe the spirit and bring peace to the weary heart.
Hold an amethyst to your forehead and you'll feel it.
A gentle cooling,
A quiet opening,
The gates of the inner world slowly creaking open.
This is not the stone of loud magic,
The amethyst whispers.
It enters your dreams,
Not your plans.
It heals in silence,
Not in spectacle.
It is the guardian of sleep,
Of visions,
Of calm.
If your heart has been troubled,
If your thoughts have been loud and wild,
Place an amethyst under your pillow tonight.
Let it kiss your dreams.
Let it carry your spirit to a place of soft messages,
Gentle release and healing winds.
Amethyst is a balm,
But it is also a shield.
It guards against thieves,
Yes,
Literal and energetic.
The kind that steal your joy,
Your clarity,
Your courage.
With an amethyst nearby,
You walk in a circle of light.
No shadow touches you without your permission.
It is a stone of love,
But not fiery passion.
It's the love that watches over you,
That soothes you when no one is looking,
That reminds you,
You are safe,
You are whole,
You are held.
It brings courage,
Not with noise,
But with quiet conviction.
The kind of courage that lets you sit with your truth.
The kind that helps you say no when needed.
And yes,
When your soul stirs,
Amethyst sings to the third eye,
To intuition,
To the soft electric hum that connects your inner knowing with the greater cosmos.
It is a psychic amplifier,
But only if you come to it with honesty and reverence.
It won't perform for show.
It reveals to the sincere.
And oh,
The happiness it brings is subtle,
Like wild violets blooming in secret.
It's not giddy,
But steady.
Not loud,
But luminous.
Amethyst says,
Be still and know your joy,
Be still and hear your soul.
So now,
Close your eyes and imagine the glow of an amethyst deep within your chest.
A small violet flame pulsing slowly.
With every breath,
It expands.
It clears.
It heals.
It protects.
Let it flood your dreams tonight.
Let it cradle you in peace.
Let it wrap you in violet light and kiss your brow like a moonbeam.
Before we close,
A blessing for the road.
May the amethyst guard your dreams,
Calm your mind,
Heal your heart,
And lead you gently into your own inner temple.
May peace walk with you and love rise softly behind your eyes.
Thank you for entering this sacred space with me.
In our next gathering,
Another stone will rise to speak.
Until then,
Rest well and walk with wonder.
