Metaphysical Lore:
Pentacle - The Pentacle is an ancient protection symbol, used and adopted by Wiccans. It is symbolic of the five elements, Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. Each point correlates to one of these five elements. The circle surrounding the star is representative of everlasting life: birth, death, and rebirth (reincarnation). The pentacle is probably the most powerful protection symbol on earth and has great energies all it's own!
MOTHER GODDESS: Fertile, round and gentle, the Mother Goddess fulfills her duties freely and willingly, giving life and instilling love and joy to her offspring, teaching and showing them as she goes. She is the epitome of life, usually depicted with a full womb, round, large breasts, she is the very essence of life and all that it entails. The color red associated with the Mother Goddess is symbolic of the blood of life, that the Mother Goddess gives to all and everything that is. She is the Full Moon, round, and full and ripe with the magick of life and fertility.
Azurite/Malachite, as a combination mineral, assists the bearer to meditate into a deeper area so that one has been reborn into the light. It permits the user to reach these deeper areas without worry or fear and once it is achieved, the bearer retains what they learn there. It also gives the wearer an ability to be flexibly in matters and to bend with the breezes, helping to rid oneself of negative aspects such as arrogance and conceit and vanity, while giving the wearer a true feeling of connection to the "All". This is the true purpose of this stone, and it does so willingly and without any guidance from the user. It also provides great peace and calm for those that are ill, and allows healing to proceed. Very nice stone!
Silver is a wonderful metal for use with gemstones, it can take on and absorb the properties and energies of the gemstones it is in contact with and act as a conductor for those energies for the wearer. Silver is associated with the element of Water and directly correlates with the energies of the Goddess and the moon. It is also a metal to aid in drawing prosperity. To increase the properties and energies of silver, expose it to the light of the moon, especially the full moon.
