Peridot Meaning

The Peridot crystal stone is a gem at inspiring the seekers of the universe. If it’s light and love that you’re after, keep this cheerful and uplifting stone in your environment and give your Feng Shui a boost with its candy-colored hue and protective, powerful qualities. The Peridot is considered a wood element and works to promote abundance, prosperity, and happiness in your home. It also addsa pop of color to your interior design scheme, making Peridot an interior decorator’s dream. After giving it an intention, place a polished stone or statue in the southeast or east corner of your home and get ready for its powerful vibes to bring wealth and well-being into your life.

Dating back to ancient Egypt, Peridot was a favorite of Cleopatra, who wore the stone for its beauty and to ward off evil spirits. According to legend, the Queen’s emeralds were actually Peridot crystals, which share a similar aesthetic to the highly prized jewel. Known as the poor man’s Emerald because of its less expensive price, the Peridot crystal meaning can be traced back to the volcanic areas of Hawaii on the island of Oahu, where tiny Peridot grains can still be found washed upon the shore. According to ancient folklore, these pieces of Peridot represent the tears of Pele, the goddess of the elements. Created in a fiery pit of lava millions of years ago, the Peridot crystal gets its olive to lime green colors from olivine, a type of mineral made up of iron, silicate, and magnesium.

Created from the intense inferno of volcanoes, Peridot is believed to be a gift from Mother Nature and considered a symbol of the yearly renewal of the planet. The Peridot crystal stone meaning comes from the Arabic “fairat,” the word for gem, and has been cherished for its healing properties since ancient times. Its dazzling sheen and lush color also gave light to the dark ages when it was incorporated into the Shrine of the Three Kings in the Cologne Cathedral in Germany.

Peridot Properties

Channel the Peridot crystal healing properties with a daily meditation session in your sacred space. Borrowing from the Native American tradition used for thousands of years, cleanse your environment and crystals with a smudging ritual using a sage stick. If you’re in need of an emotional facelift, place raw Peridot stones over the heart chakra to clear out toxic emotions and feel your spirit opening up to love, the medicine to heal the world. Peridot also supports the solar plexus chakra and works to clear mental blocks, which is excellent medicine for skeptics of crystal healing because it opens up the mind to infinite possibilities of the universe and its healing powers.

Often called the study stone, Peridot crystal healing properties are also known to increase mental focus by making the mind more receptive to learning new things. Keep Peridot in your workspace or office and always have constant access to its powerful properties that give you the strength to persevere, especially during times of challenging academic pursuits. It was also believed by the Romans to be a wonderful medicine for depression. Keep a Peridot stone in your pocket or wear it as jewelry and use it as your daily antidepressant that protects you from negative energy while bolstering a sense of self-worth and motivation. Always stay in the direction of the light with Peridot, the feel good stone in the world of crystal healing.

Like the wise proverb says, “Keep towards the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you.”

Peridot Healing Properties

Gazing at the stone and its iridescent shade of lime green inspires images of the budding foliage of a forest, a symbol of abundance and prosperity.

When you’re basking in the glow of Peridot, feel the love of the universe protecting your heart and allowing you to fall in love with whimsical abandon. Like a goddess as a young girl, channel your free spirit as it exists in nature, an invigorating visualization especially for city dwellers. Meditating with the Peridot crystal properties shines a bright light on your journey of spiritual renewal and the discovery of new horizons.

Good Day WOTC Sisters, Brothers, and Friends

I am so glad there is only 1 more day in this week as it has been a weird one for me. I am sorry the monthly and August happy birthday posts did not go up on the 1st of the month. I am behind on everything in our home and yard too so, feeling a bit overwhelmed yesterday with all I had to do, and some things got put aside until today.

This past week of Saturday through Tuesday we drove around 1,000 miles to serve paperwork to people. While most of them went well I want to share a funny story with you about trying to serve a 58-year-old man:

Big Dawg had to walk past his open, large front window to get to his door. He saw the man on his laptop with the TV turned on and his 2 dogs started barking to let the man know someone was there. Well, the guy didn’t come to his door after Big Dawg repeatedly knocked so he decided to knock on the window where the man was sitting in front of it. Big Dawg saw the man quickly slide the laptop under the couch by the window and dive under a blanket hurriedly trying to cover his head with it. Big Dawg called to him through the window to answer the door and he wasn’t going away until he did. After about 20 minutes of alternately knocking on the door and window while calling to the man to open the door he came back to the car. Keep in mind his 2 poor dogs were barking almost continually because of the knocking and talking through the window to the man getting stressed out because of their human’s unkindness towards them. We felt bad for the 2 dogs because you could tell they were upset at all the knocking and the man ignoring it. So, Big Dawg called the man, he answered his phone and just hung up on Big Dawg. So, we left as it was very close to the time when we have to quit trying to serve paperwork. On the way home the man called Big Dawg back about 6 or 7 times and all he did was turn the volume of the TV up each time and never said a word. How long he sat under his blankety that night we have no idea. We have to go back there today to try once again to get the paperwork served, wish us luck with blanket boy. I really hope he gave the dogs a special treat for putting them through the stress of him not answering his door and trying to hide in plain sight.

Wishing you a fantastic Friday full of magick and fun!

Taking a Mental Health Day

Things went really badly with the guy I referred to in the Good Day post. I’ve been up all night to make sure Big Daeg was really alright after what physically happened to him. I’m an emotional mess especially with no sleep.

I’ll be back tomorrow after I hopefully get some sleep tonight.
