This Is Your Life...
I came across this image recently and just think that some things ought to be shared. It's not that we don't know the important things in life but how often do we get sidetracked by all the soul draining, mundane details of our lives? You might have already seen this, but like a classic movie it still satisfies.

The Wonderful Properties of Agate
Here's another short excerpt from my upcoming book. For more information about my designs, work, me, please visit and like my Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/JoannaSeetooJewelryDesigns Thanks very much and enjoy!
Agates have become very popular in recent years. The trend towards organic shapes and nature inspired design perfectly utilizes agate in all its many shapes, colors and patterns.
The slices and mini geodes cracked open to show their sparkling drusy centers is lovely and fascinating, Knowing that each one of those small, glittering specks could grow into a large crystal is a marvel unto itself.
As far as the metaphysical properties of Agate, this is a stone that everyone should have for protection; its especially good for protecting children. This group of stones are a variety of chalcedony. The Agate is one of the oldest stones in recorded history.
Agates attract strength and are used in protection from bad dreams. They can also protect from stress and energy drains. Agates have been used in jewelry since Biblical Babylonian times. Agates were used to ward off storms, they were prized gems in antiquity and the varieties that showed banded colors were placed at the head of a sleeper to give rich and varied dreams.
The Agate cannot change emotions but it can help to change our level of acceptance of the emotion. Such as when you are very sad, the agate will let you know that this feeling will pass and help you get on to another and better day. This is why this gem is considered so powerful as it gives us the strength to carry on. Many people carry an agate with them when they have to make important decisions.
Agates increase strength, courage, promotes longevity and restores bodily energy. They can also help remove envious thoughts and spite while easing stressful situations. Banded agates are especially good for use while meditating.
This gem is beautiful and as far as gems go relatively inexpensive. There's also quite a range of colors and patterns to choose from. For all the wonderful properties it holds, Agate is the perfect gem to add to your collection.

Metaphysical Properties of Silver
I looked at the moon last night and realized it was full. The big, beautiful orb in the sky was glowing; shining bright silvery white and it reminded me of the legend of the werewolf and of silver bullets.
The correlation between the moon and the precious metal Silver goes way back, perhaps even before the association with the goddess Diana (Goddess of the Hunt) or Artemis (The Huntress with the Silver Bow.) Images of this goddess were made from silver.
With Silver trading at almost $40/oz I thought I'd give you some other reasons to wear this beautiful, reflective white metal. Here are the metaphysical properties of silver.
Silver is connected to the Moon and may be worn to attract love. Silver can also be used for protection and to enhance intuitive of psychic ability as well as regulating emotional and intuitive energy. It is a mirror to the souls and stimulates the ability to see oneself outside the body.
Silver is a good conductor between gemstones and the body; its very useful for energizing other stones especially during full and new moons and can help you gain patience and perseverance. Silver is a high level conductor, an open river that carries all things in both ways. A magically neutral metal, Silver can absorb many things yet does not store them which makes it a very good metal for magical charms that need to flow and work on a continuous basis without needing to be cleaned in between.

Metaphysical Properties of Clear Quartz
This is an excerpt from my upcoming book. You can check out more about my jewelry, book, presentations and more on my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/JoannaSeetooJewelryDesigns
Clear Quartz also known as Rock Crystal is said to bring the energy of the stars into the soul. Natural quartz crystal both harmonizes and aligns human energies, thoughts, consciousness and emotions with the energies of the universe and makes these greater energies available to humanity. It is recognized as a stone of power.
Thought by various Ancients to be water that magically solidified, Quartz Crystal has been used by shamans for thousands of years. Some say that Quartz was used to magically produce rain in parts of the Pacific including Australia and New Guinea. Also said to have been used in the Eleusinian mysteries to produce sacred fire by concentrating the heat of the sun to ignite wood chips.
Ceremonial Wands belonging to Native American Indians have been found in Southern California. Cherokee Shamans respected the power of this gem and kept the stones wrapped in buckskin when not in use. It is said to have cooling powers and is a romantic stone.
Quartz is the ultimate "anything-stone" as it radiates all the color vibrations within the spectrum of light and thus can be utilized and programmed for any use which bring light and energy into our spiritual bodies. A "stone of the mind", quartz can be used to imprint with any energy or information and helps to focus the mind, aids in concentration and enhances mental ability.
Used in psychism and as a general magical power amplifier, Quartz is a common stone but a powerful one. It enhances energy and thoughts and purifies the spiritual, mental and physical. It is also a powerfully protective stone bringing the purified energy in.
Quartz Crystal has a similar vibration as humans. This is why using Crystal to mediate and keep a Quartz Crystal helps one to know oneself. It will sometimes not work for a person who is negative.
Whether the crystal is worn, carried or placed inside one's environment; the force, warmth and brilliance remain attuned to the energy of the one to whom it is connected.

July's Birthstone Ruby
In honor of July, here's a short post on one of my favorite gemstones, Ruby. Ruby belongs to the Corundum family (Sapphires are Corundum as well) and has some wonderful metaphysical properties. Following is an excerpt from my upcoming book.
The Ruby is considered to be one of the most powerful gems in the universe and is associated with many astral signs.
To own a Ruby is said to have contentment and peace. Placed under a pillow the ruby may ward off bad dreams. Ruby rings should be worn on the left hand so as to receive the life force and have protection.
Given as a gift, the Ruby is a symbol of friendship and love. A Ruby is also the symbol of vitality and royalty.
Very effective gemstone for wealth drawing, protection, power, joy, anti-nightmare, offerings, courage, energy increase.
Filled with love, Ruby also helps sexual love to be more passionate. Persons lacking in self-love should have and mediate on the Ruby.
It also gives the courage to reach the highest potential that a person has. Ruby is commonly used in love spells and to increase sexual energy.
