Crystals for Poseidon

Hello my dear coven, as you may know, I have been a devotee to Poseidon for some time now, and one thing I feel I often see people struggle with is finding the right crystals to devote to him! So I wanted today to share with you, as a geologist and a witch, some of the stones and gems that I feel have intrinsic ties to lord Poseidon! Let’s explore these together:

• Larimar

Discovered in an extinct volcanic chamber in the 1980s in the Dominican Republic, Larimar is a vibrant blue variety of the mineral pectolite. It was named by its discoverer, who named it after a combination of the name of his young daughter “Lara” and the Spanish world for sea: “mar”. It is renowned for its striking resemblance to the ripple of waves reflected on sand in tropical seas, and has become synonymous with sea magic in the neopagan community! This stone makes for a great offering for a god of the oceans, and his lord Poseidon is no exception!

• Ocean Jasper

Discovered on a coastal shelf in Madagascar in the late 90s, ocean jasper is a unique composite mineral of chalcedony and various sediments, which are matrixed in chalcedony resulting in a suspended orb effect, or densely dotted pattern. It is one of my favorite stones, and despite having been mostly mined out since it’s discovery, is still an exceedingly sought after material! It’s various colors and patterns are versatile, so it can be more personalized to Poseidon depending on what specific stone draws the devotee!

• Pearls

Probably one of the most valued and prevalent decorative natural materials in history, pearls are synonymous with wealth and beauty, and in turn with the ocean that bares them. Although salt water pearls are rare and extremely expensive, cultured pearls are, in my opinion as a geologist, just as valuable, and in my opinion as a studying marine biologist, generally more ethical as well! Any pearl of any value is a pearl fit for the lord of the seas and rivers! They are also the birthstone of June :)

• Coral

Speaking of ethics, here’s a “stone” that makes for a great offering, if you have an ethical means of procuring it: coral has been used as an ornamental material for millennia, but in the last 80 or so years, as climate concerns and conservation efforts have, understandably, been put in effect to preserve our dying coral reef ecosystems, it has become harder and harder to acquire it ethically. Generally speaking, most coral over 50 years old, or sourced off shore from beach-combing, has been acquired relatively ethically, and there are ways of collecting naturally dead coral for ornamental purposes as well. just make sure you check with sellers for transparency. It’s a gorgeous material if you can get it responsibly!

• Aquamarine:

Probably the only stone on this list directly attributed to Poseidon from the Greeks themselves besides pearls, aquamarine was actually believed by Greek and Phoenician mariners to offer protection in wayfaring from Poseidon’s wrath if worn underway, and many sailors wore talismans or rings of aquamarine! And due to its relative commonality, it comes in a variety of prices and qualities that can be calibrated to your price range! It’s also the birthstone of March :)

• Nacre

Nacre, or as it’s much more commonly referred to “mother of pearl” is the iridescent material that makes up the inner layers of mollusk shell, and like pearls, have been a popular material in jewelry and decoration for thousands of years. It can be acquired from many species of mollusk, but abalone, oyster, and conches seem to be the most common sources of it. Due to be being generally more affordable than true pearls, it is a popular choice for sea magic, and a great offering to king Poseidon!

Hopefully this might give you some inspiration for creating an alter for Poseidon, or for some offerings or components in magic or ritual, thank you for reading, and gods bless! 💙🔱

Reblogging this because so many people need to see this. There is so excuse to SA, for those who are victims it's something that will stick with them for the rest of their lives. To tell them their pain isn't real is like telling someone the ocean isn't salty. You can say it but man will you look dumb as hell for it.

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”
