Pagan Blog Project F is for Fuchsite

Fuchsite is a crystal associated with the planet Mercury, the element of Air, and the goddess Gaia.  It's also known for its strong connection to natural earth energies. 

Although it is used in prosperity and abundance spells, fuchsite is known more for its abilities to help one connect with other energies: the angelic realm, elementals, nature spirits, spirit guides, and faeries.  It is also very helpful as a focus for astral projection.

Fuchsite's main use though is as a healing stone.  As always any information given here is not intended as a substitute for medical advice.  Please see your medical professional if you have any health concerns.

The crystal is known to focus and amplify any healing energy while also being very calming.  It also helps to release the blockages caused by excess energy.

It is very helpful for any problems with the larynx or throat; however, do not use the stone in an elixir. 

Problems with one's arteries and carpal tunnel and/or tendonitis issues are also helped by the proximity of fuchsite. 

It is also useful in the treatment of blood sugar problems, dehydration, and in spinal alignment. 

 

Fuchsite is also a great healing aid as it helps with channeling herbal remedies and holistic healing methods; helping to speed healing and even identify illnesses.

Fuchsite is known as a healer's stone due to its ability to help healers keep self-protective boundaries in place while they are working.  The crystal encourages understanding and compassion while at the same time it reinforces healthy boundaries between healer and patient.  It helps to prevent healers from giving too much to those who need healing, and helps them remember to take care of themselves also.

This is also a great stone to carry if one is prone to codependence or stress issues as it helps to heal both.  

For those embarking on any kind of self-improvement routine the presence of fuchsite can be a huge help.  It helps one stick to personal routines; especially those that help us connect to ourselves, such as meditation.  

In fact, meditating with a piece of fuchsite sitting on one's heart chakra helps to release emotions and heal emotional wounds.  It also helps to release stress and tension, and to make it easier to see the big picture of any situation as opposed to focusing merely on one's part of it. 

Carrying and/or wearing fuchsite even helps promote positive character traits such as sincerity and integrity.  It helps bring one peace and balance, which in turn helps on have more fun in life, with much less stress. 

Considering my frequent 90+ hour work weeks I should probably be wearing clothes and sleeping on sheets made of fuchsite!  LOL 

Blessings!

 

Rune of the Day: Othala

 

 

Focus on the long term today, both financially and in family relationships.  Take a look at any long term investments or commitments.  Make sure that they are still serving you, that they haven't grown stagnant or started dragging you down.

Tarot Card of the Day: Ace of Cups

 

 

Today is a day of new beginnings and new understandings with others.  You may meet someone new, or just get to know someone you haven't really interacted much with.  Either way, the new relationship in whatever form it takes, will help you grow.

The Two Together

 

Othala paired with the Ace of Cups is telling us to spend some time with family today, especially the older members of the family.  They often help us reconnect with what's truly important in life, and its so easy to lose touch with them.  Try to reopen those lines of communication.

 

Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Thurisaz Reversed

 

 

Take your time making decision today, the consequences of your choices today will be with you for a while.  Ask for help if you need it, better a little humility than a ton of regret.

 

Tarot Card of the Day: 6 of Pentacles

 

 

Pay attention to what is going on around you.  The help you are offering people may not be what they need, but rather what it is easy for you to give.  Your time or experience may be more needed than your castoffs.  

The Two Together

 

Both Thurisaz reversed and the 6 of Pentacles are telling us to turn to others, to have some humility.  We need to really pay attention to what others have to give us today, as well as to what they need from us.  Often, what we want to receive or give isn't what's really needed; look below the surface today.

 

Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Ing

 

 

This is a great time to make a new start at something.  With the weather warming up for many of us, it is time to start outside new projects and maybe just some new things in general. Ing's energy is very potent for new beginnings, for coming out of one's shell so to speak.  Take advantage of having this energy in your corner today.

 

Tarot Card of the Day: 9 of Cups

 

 

Appreciate what you have today, and don't be afraid to share the wealth a little.  Things will be going your way, why not help them go someone else's way too.  The more we appreciate and share our blessings, the more blessings we receive.

 

The Two Together

 

The combination of Ing and the 9 of Cups is saying to go for what you want today.  Try something new, create something that speaks to you.  There is a ton of positive energy in your corner so take advantage of it.  Just remember to spread the good energy and blessings around.

 

Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Eolh

 

 

Be careful what you wish for today, you just may get it.  Trying new things and meeting new people is how we grow; whether its a good experience or a not so good one.  Use some caution with the new experiences and people today, they may not be all that they seem.

 

Tarot Card of the Day: Hanged Man

Make sure your actions are consistent with who you really want to be today.  Its almost always easier to take the easy way out, to avoid unpleasantness; but sometimes, facing up to things is what shows our true character.  You know the person you want to be, act like that person today. 

 

The Two Together:

 

The pairing of the Hanged Man and Eolh is urging us to use caution in our actions and dealing with others today.  Sometimes it is easier to go along to get along, but is that the person we really want to be?  Trying new things sometimes just teaches us that those things aren't really for us.  Walking away from something that doesn't serve you is not a failure, its a victory.

 

Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Daeg

 

 

Go ahead and start making some of the changes you've been thinking about, especially any concerned with self-improvement.  Whether spiritual, emotional, or physical you are bound to make real progress today; to start feeling a new sense of clarity and security.

 

Tarot Card of the Day: World

 

 

 

You will feel a real sense of accomplishment today, a feeling of being one with everything.  You know what you can do and revel in your abilities.  Enjoy today, because as always, tomorrow brings new challenges for you to conquer.

 

The Two Together

 

The World paired with Daeg is letting us know that we can change ourselves for the better, in any area we try to.  Whether its learning something new, starting a healthier regimen for ourselves, or expanding our spiritual horizons, we can do it.  That's what life is all about, growing, and expanding, and bettering ourselves and the world around us. 

 

Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Gifu

For everything that goes right today, something will go wrong.  Of course, the reverse is also true: for everything that goes wrong, something else will go right.  Today is all about keeping the balance in your life.  Just go with it, in the long run the good almost always outweighs the bad. 

 

Tarot Card of the Day: 8 of Cups

 

Sometimes we have to leave things behind, no matter how much we love them.  They may be holding us back, or dragging us down, or maybe we just can't watch them hurt themselves any longer.  Its time to look at some of those situations today, and decide which ones we just have to put behind us for our own good.  These are rarely decisions, but we have to put our own well-being first.

 

The Two Together

The 8 of Cups paired with Gifu is telling us we have to look at the whole picture when we are looking at relationships or situations we are thinking of ending.  We have to look at the good as well as the bad and then decide who and what is worth keeping in our lives: and, conversely, who and what has to go.  Be careful not to end something just because its been a difficult patch, we need to look at how likely things are to improve also.

 

Blessings!
