6mm Hematite Ring: Grounding Elegance

The 6mm Hematite Ring is a sleek and minimalist accessory that combines style with the natural benefits of hematite. Known for its metallic luster and smooth finish, this ring serves both aesthetic and functional purposes.​

Key Features:

Design: The ring features a 6mm band, offering a balanced presence on the finger without being overly bulky.​

Material: Crafted from natural hematite, the ring showcases a polished, reflective surface that complements various styles.​

Metaphysical Properties:

Grounding and Calming: Hematite is renowned for its grounding properties, helping to center and calm the mind.​

Energy Balancing: It is believed to balance the body, mind, and spirit, promoting overall well-being.​

Protection: Hematite is thought to deflect negativity and prevent the absorption of negative energies from others.​

Considerations:

While hematite rings are valued for their metaphysical benefits, they are also known to be relatively fragile. It is advisable to handle them with care to prevent cracking or breaking. Removing the ring during activities that may cause impact or pressure can help maintain its integrity.​

Incorporating a 6mm Hematite Ring into your jewelry collection offers a blend of understated elegance and potential energetic benefits, making it a meaningful addition to both your style and well-being.​

Reblogging posts about this again because I just met someone IRL who told me hematite rings break when they absorb too much bad energy. Much love to that person, she was very sweet to compliment my Ace ring. I just don’t want anybody getting scammed.

Okay, listen

I saw a post earlier about baneful magic that I was going to reblog… but then it said to tie the spell to a hematite ring, and that when the ring breaks the spell has taken hold, and I just…

Look, I’m not saying hematite is a useless mineral for magic, but this kind of thing is just bullshit perpetuated by people who want to sell more hematite rings. Those things break if you make too tight a fist. Trusting a hematite ring breaking to indicate anything but its own inherent fragility is just plain ridiculous. All a broken hematite ring means is that you whacked it too hard against something physical.

hi chicken, i think the idea of setting an indicator of the spell working is cool. do you maybe have anymore thoughts on that or how to actually do it? i like the idea im just not sure how to actually like.. set that intention and make sure it actually indicates

We're in reference to this I'm sure, the hematite ring bit I believe.

Easy as pie. You want something that has a chance to spontaneously change its physical state, but not a guarantee; a thread tied around your wrist that could snag and snap, or fall off; a brittle hematite ring that can shatter; in the past I've used something precariously stood up (a medical creme tube stood upright on its small cap) and set it in a sheltered place, the indication being whether or not it fell over on its own. (It did, in the middle of the night, and spooked me)

Place it with the other parts of the spell. Bake it into the same pie, as it were.

Candle be thou a candle likened to Money Marge herself, cash me out, stuff my hair with dollar dollar bills; And you, green thread, you are the oracle that sees; you are the chain that falls when the link is broken; you are the canary in the coal mine that falls away to sound the alert. You, my far-seeing helper, keep your eyes affixed upon Money Marge: and when [the last traces of power fade away/ when my spell has found its target/ if the spell fails before it can manifest] then you will show me it has happened by breaking, or snapping, or unraveling, or in any manner whatsoever falling away from my wrist.

Ensure you have thoughtfully chosen an indicator that could happen randomly, yet is not guaranteed or likely to happen (an indicator with a 50/50 chance of 'going off' anyways is not useful)

Through ritual action, words, or by any means, link and involve the indicating object to the spell; consecrate them together, energize them together, soak them in the same bath of energies

Clearly define what role the indicating object is playing. Poetry serves well, in my opinion. Also see if you can't get the poetry to match the action and theme (falling away thread = chain that snaps, canary that falls -- indicator for a ward being breached, "you are the war horn that sounds the alarm")

Clearly define the conditions under which the object will perform that indicated action ("when Money Marge has grabbed money for me and is rushing back to my side.")

From that point onwards such indicator objects may be considered to be a taglock of the spell, and a useful connection to be able to 'check in'. Very handy little things for practicing psychism and energy reading.

It's reasonable to assume that you are functionally enchanting an entire second object, and therefore this might be significantly more draining than one might expect at first glance. My recommendation is to ensure the primary function of the spell gets all it needs first, and any indicator object comes second; also, there's perhaps no need to go ham on the indicator at all.

Working on my Sonic Prime au, now with 5x more Agent Stone, and I’m working on names so I can differentiate them as I build this more. I already have Dr. Deep’s Stone’s name (it’s Cliff btw) and I have some ideas for Dr. Don’t’s Stone. So, I need help deciding one

I love these two. I don’t know if anyone that sees this has seen my little rant, but if you have, you’ve only seen part of my obsession with my own au. (Ignore the Cliff & Stone minicomic)

This striking faceted hematite ring looks so elegant on the hand.

A story in manifestation

Let me tell you a story about witchcraft and manifestation:

On November 9, my beautiful Jake (Del Mar WSS) was found deceased in his stall. The day was filled with grief and tears, phone calls no one should have to make to his insurance, trying to organize a necropsy on a holiday weekend, and then trying to find transport for his remains to the university so he could get the necropsy done.

Jake’s breeder (we’ll call her K) was in disbelief when I called and told her the news but she (from over an hour away) managed to organize transport for Jake AND get the necropsy started on a Saturday of a holiday weekend (have I mentioned it was a holiday weekend?) During one of our many phone calls back and forth this day I had made a joke about Kyle, Jake’s full brother from this year and how I could buy him now. (She’s produced two horses I’ve called in love with on sight and they were Jake and Kyle. And both times I was unable to buy them right away because life).

After all the chaos was over and I was at home the breeder called me and told me that someone had flown from Texas to California to look at Kyle and she was sending her trainer to look at him the following Thursday and organizing a PPE for him. Nothing was expected to pop on the PPE and nothing really did. There was apparently one anomaly that our vet didn’t think was a big deal. He’s only 5 months old there’s a good chance he’s going to grow out of it. (I personally think rads on baby babies are pretty pointless as so much can change as they grow.)

Ok. Well, if it’s meant to happen it will, I thought. Over the next two days, in my grief I became physically ill at the idea of Kyle going to another home if I didn’t throw my hat in the ring, so I did. I told K I was interested and I would match the offer and waive a PPE. She of course refused to sell him out from under these folks (because she’s a good and moral person which is why we are friends). The trainer came out and seemed to like him as well and was impressed with my friend’s breeding program. At this point, there was no reason to believe he wouldn’t sell. I went to check out her other babies last Saturday and there was no zing with any of them except Kyle. Kyle was so much like his brother but not like him at all, but the most attractive thing: his brain works the same way as his brother’s. They weren’t the same horse but they were similar in the ways that mattered to me. That caused me to buy Jake in the first place.

I immediately went home and did a manifestation meditation. I did a meditation where I envisioned I owned Kyle and what that would look like. Then I wrote his name and birthdate and my name and birthdate on a bay leaf, both sides. Wrote his name on a black chime candle (he is black). And lit it.

I prepared a jar, cleansed with with dragon’s blood incense, and in my cauldron mixed lotus (lock opening) rose (luck) star anise (luck) dandelion(wishes, also represents Hecate and it was her night!), a “fortune” mixture I was given (Haven’t the foggiest what was in it but I needed some “Fortune” and thus it made its way into the spell), and some of his brother’s hair. I put that mixture in a small jar with a small piece of green aventurine and tiger’s eye. I sealed the jar with the wax from the candle over the cauldron, burned the bay leaf and used it to light the remnants of the spell herbs and hair on fire. Then I let the candle burn all the way down and placed the jar near my token of Epona and my hematite horse carving on my altar. I did all this with him in my mind, envisioning him coming home to me.

By Monday I still hadn’t heard. I charged a citrine shaped like a moon. I carried Ehwaz, Jera and Uruz in my pocket with the citrine. And Monday night I came home and did a repeat of the spell (sans hair though because that’s now a precious commodity), put my tokens around a black chime candle carved with his name and my name to charge them and let the candle burn all the way down.

Yesterday, I carried my tokens again and K called me around 10am to tell me that against all odds, the buyers mysteriously passed on him and did I want to work out a deal. I did and I signed a contract and now I own Kyle!

Everyone: meet Kyle (registered as Divination WSS because how I got him was ~ m a g i c k ~)

I was thinking about changing his name to Death Valley WSS (the breeder’s name theme is places in California and his sire’s name begins with a D) but that gets mixed reviews and my mom is absolutely against it and he’s her grandchild now .

If you read this whole thing, please comment because you deserve a cookie.

Critical thinking tip: Ask yourself if the "evidence" actually suggests what's being proposed

Many conspiracy theorists and fringe scientists will say they have evidence for their claims, but when you take a closer look at the supposed evidence, it doesn't really suggest what they want it to suggest. It's more like they're finding a thing and just claiming it as evidence without first demonstrating an actual link between these things.

A historical example of this are the so-called witches' teats or witches' marks that early modern witch hunters claimed were evidence of a Satanic pact. In reality, there are many reasons people can have bumps and blemishes on their bodies. People naturally develop moles and skin tags throughout their lives, or grow warts, or have extra nipples because that's a thing that happens sometimes. But these witch hunters didn't care - they just wanted to find people (mostly women) to scapegoat for anything that went wrong, so they just asserted these things had diabolical origins without ever bothering to actually try and demonstrate a causal link. And since these were the days before dermatology, you can imagine how easy it was to find these kinds of things on people.

Modern conspiracy theorists do something very similar. Let's take a look at the people who assert that an ancient Satanic cult is secretly ruling the world. In their mythology, so to speak, many shapes, colors, and images are claimed to be their symbols. The number of things these people claim are symbols are the conspiracy is so large that it's almost impossible not to see Satanic symbology everywhere if you start looking for it.

The Project Monarch conspiracy theory is a really good example of this. Many proponents claim that butterflies symbolize Monarch programming (ie, the alleged art of turning people into Manchurian agents), so if you see an actor or model wearing a shirt with a butterfly, if means they've been programmed. The works of Fritz Springmeier and Cisco Wheeler assert that regular everyday colors like red, blue, green, etc. are used for various forms of programming. This enables proponents to present a photo of someone with dyed hair and claim they've been programmed. You can see an example of this here, where a number of entertainers who dyed their hair green are claimed to have been given "frog programming." Also, if you read through the page, you can also see claims large chain jewelry is actually a symbol of enslavement.

You only have to stop and think about this for a moment to realize that colorful hair dye and large chain jewelry are just popular fashion trends. No actual link between their looks and this alleged conspiracy is ever shown. The only thing this page really succeeds in demonstrating is that conspiracy theorists are by and large a bunch of little haters who demonize anything that doesn't conform with their hyperconservative ideals.

Such is how this whole conspiracy theory works; if it exists, proponents will try and spin it into an evil symbol of some kind, to the point where it will seem that their influence is everywhere. And some people fall for this, failing to realize that this isn't any different from searching for witches' teats.

Here's a different kind of example: in witchcraft communities, you might hear people saying that if your hematite ring breaks, that means it absorbed a curse or some kind of bad energy. But in reality, hematite is a pretty brittle material, and if you regularly wear it, it's bound to break sooner or later.

Another one I often see are people claiming that if a candle flame burns really high and smokes a lot, it's some kind of divine sign. In reality, this is just what candles do when their wicks aren't properly trimmed.

And then of course, there are so-called ascension symptoms. For many years now (since at least the late 2000s), New Agers have claimed that a host of unpleasant symptoms are actually signs that they're about to ascend to 5D. Everyone's always claiming that it's going to happen in the very near future (December 2012 was a popular one back in the day.) But the years keep rolling by, and nobody ever ascends. However, the symptoms presented on just about any ascension symptom list you can find are associated with chronic stress, depression, anxiety, and many other health issues.

All of these things are forms of the non-sequitur fallacy - which is to say, the conclusions don't actually follow the premises. They all assert "if X, then Y" in some form without ever actually demonstrating a causal link between X and Y.

So when someone out there is claiming that X is evidence of Y - ask yourself: has a link actually been demonstrated, or does the preponderance of evidence actually suggest a different cause?

every time i want to learn about a cool gemstone i inevitably find out crystal healers are peddling complete horseshit about it. like now they're trying to sell hematite rings. as in a ring made of 100% hematite, which is an iron oxide, and will break because it's effectively just a brittle pile of rust. So like. Bitches are selling people rings they know will break to costumers who are convinced of its healing properties.
