The spiritual energy of amethyst helps cleanse the mind and body of any negative attachments.
Metaphysical Properties of AMETHYST – The name Amethyst originates from the Greek word ametusthos, meaning "sober," and is rooted in an ancient legend. The god of wine, Bacchus, angered by an insult, vowed that the first person he encountered would be torn apart by his tigers. The unfortunate mortal was a beautiful maiden named Amethyst, who was on her way to pay homage at the temple of Diana. When the savage beasts leapt upon her, she sought protection from the goddess, and to save her, Diana transformed her into a clear white crystal. In a moment of remorse, Bacchus poured grape juice over the stone, giving it its beautiful purple hue. There are numerous variations of this legend, but they all share the belief that amethyst possesses the power to prevent intoxication and unhealthy indulgence. The ancient Greeks and Romans often adorned their drinking cups with amethyst, believing that wine consumed from them would not intoxicate. Another practice involved wearing the stone as an amulet tied to the navel to reduce lust and ward off the temptations of the flesh. Catholic bishops wore amethyst rings to protect themselves from mystical intoxication. Modern spiritual practitioners quickly recognize the high vibration of the purple stone, which corresponds to the psychic center at the crown of the head. The violet rays carry the magical power of dreams, inspiration, and destiny. They stimulate the creative use of life energy, intellect, and worldly wisdom. The paler, white-lavender rays of amethyst crystals correspond to even higher vibrations, expressed as true humility and spiritual purity. They aid in connecting with the soul and promote processes of inner transformation and enlightenment.
