The power of stone and the Zodiac, (Part l)

Many civilizations have considered that the stone is a symbol of divine power… In prehistoric times the stone has served as a tool and as a weapon. Numerous myths have taught us how some divine creatures were born from stone. In the East, the stone marked the presence of the divinity and people bowed in font of it with the use of oil and blood. Thus, the altar is made from the stone. The stone that has fallen from the sky is different from the others and is often related to the divine, the black color, the moon, femininity, or generally with the motherhood. Such is the case with the black stone, which is admired in Pesinonci, in Frigi, like the great Goddess Chibelle. A similar black stone is found inside the Kaaba in Mecca (​​ not to forget that Islam is a religion with much emphasized lunar symbolism).

In Greek mythology the stone presents God as the greatest among all Gods, Hronos or Saturn, who has lived with the fear that one of his children will be cast out from the throne, as his father Uranus, had prophesied. For this reason he had eaten his children immediately after they were born. However, his wife Rea, in order to save Zeus, had wrapped a stone in swaddling clothes and had given it to Hronos for dinner. It had remained the legendary history: when Zeus was grown he had come to dethrone his father.

Precious or semi-precious stone has its role in the Zodiac. We will start from the diamond, the pearl which traditionally linked to the sign of Aries. 

Diamond1Diamond is the protector of those who are born under the sign of Aries. Diamond is a white or light blue precious and shining stone and is traditionally considered as a symbol of purity and virginity. According to the legend, it protects the person that bears it on the left side of the body. Also, it is believed that the diamond strengthens the loyalty among two lovers. Here is to search the reason why it is encountered so often in the engagement ring. Ancient Romans believed that the diamond brings luck to the fighter. That is why they take it as a talisman. However, this precious stone has often led to disasters, especially those who have greatly coveted it.

If the diamond is a gift, or expression of loyalty and love, it never brings misfortune. It brings luck, strength and protects the Aries from evil. The best choice for Aires is to carry both diamond and sapphire, because the beneficial action of the two stones grows. Otherwise sapphire is a light blue pearl, which brings luck and love. It is told how once the sapphire had lost the brightness and color when it was stolen from the Turkey’s famous treasure! Most valuable sapphires are those with the color of the sky, but they can be even purple, yellow, pink or blue. In ancient times, it was believed that it protected from the magicians. In the Middle Ages it was used as a talisman for eye diseases.
