Garnets in Spirit Jars

Noah’s Ark and the light of Garnet
Even Noah, it is reported, used a lantern from Garnet in order to safely steer his Ark through the darkness of the night. Garnets are found in jewelry from ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman eras. Many courageous discoverers and travelers wore Garnets for protection, as they were considered popular talismans and protective stones, because it was believed in those days that Garnets illuminate the night and prevent their wearer from any sort of evil. Today science explained to us that the proverbial luminosity of Garnet is caused by its high refraction of light, but the magic of the original lore is much more interesting!  I use garnet chips in my Spirit Jars and love their warm red coloring.

Golf Nut

This beautiful jar was inspired by a golfer's cuff link with an etched likeness of a golfer with his club, silvered golf shoe charm and recycled jewelry pieces.  See more views at gothB4play at Etsy.

Spirit Jar love

Once loved jewelry pieces and an old perfume bottle and a little imagination and it's one less thing to throw away and something new to cherish.  As always my spirit jar materials are first cleansed of any and all negative vibrations.  New incantations are employed for protective positive energies.  I never know how each spirit jar will turn out, they just seem to "come together".  For more views and other spirit jars see my Etsy.com shop mystic2awesome.
