Welcome back Luminous Soul,
To the circle of stone and story,
Where the treasures of the earth rise to speak,
And the old magic stirs once more.
Today,
The sky itself has stepped down to join us.
I stone the color of summer horizons,
Of calm oceans,
Of ancient trails beneath the sun.
This is turquoise,
The sky stone.
For thousands of years,
Travelers,
Warriors,
And healers have carried turquoise for protection.
It was worn on long journeys to guard against danger,
And kept close in the home to shield loved ones from harm.
Some say the stone can sense its keeper's well-being,
Deepening in color when you are well,
And fading when you need rest.
Turquoise is also a stone of courage.
Not the loud kind that charges into battle,
But the quiet,
Steady courage that keeps you walking your path,
Even when the wind is cold and the way ahead is uncertain.
In the realm of abundance,
Turquoise has been a charm for money and prosperity.
It draws opportunity the way the sun draws open a flower,
Naturally,
Gently,
Without force.
And it is a stone of love and friendship.
To give someone turquoise is to say,
You have a place in my heart,
May our bond be long and true.
It is believed to strengthen connections,
Heal misunderstandings,
And weave harmony between souls.
Turquoise is a healer too.
Its energy is cool,
Like water flowing over tired skin.
It soothes the mind,
Eases the heart,
And reminds the body how to rest and renew.
And then,
There is its gift of luck.
For many cultures,
Turquoise was a talisman to calling blessings,
To ensure safe passage,
And to open the way for fortunate encounters.
Hold turquoise in your hand now,
Even in your imagination.
Feel its calm weight,
Its steady presence.
Let its blue-green glow flow into you like a deep breath.
Imagine a circle of sky wrapping around you,
Holding you safe,
Infusing you with quiet strength,
Opening your heart to love and friendship,
And clearing the path before you.
A blessing for your journey.
May turquoise shield you in all your travels.
Strengthen your heart with quiet courage,
And draw love,
Friendship,
And fortune to your side.
May the sky itself walk with you,
And may you always walk in peace.
Until next time,
Carry the sky in your heart,
And let your steps be blessed.
