History & Lore

It is said that an Amethyst will change color if the wearer is under a spell of black magic, fearfulness or deception. Wine served in goblets made of Amethyst was said to change color if the drink was poisoned or toxic. Translated in Greek, the name means “not drunk” & came from the belief that the holder or wearer of this stone would not become intoxicated. Catholic Bishops were known to wear this stone and rosaries are commonly created from it.

The love stone, the heart stone, the stone of universal love. Rose quartz encourages unconditional love. This stone helps in strengthening one's relationships at home, in the workplace, and most importantly with one's self.

Rose quartz works to open the heart, thus making it a good choice in working through matters which tend to close the heart; loss, grief, uncertainty, trauma, heartache. 

Rose Quartz neutralizes negative thought forms and creates space for forgiveness, acceptance, and growth. 

Rose Quartz strengthens and balances the physical heart and circulatory system, and releases impurities from body fluids.  It hastens recovery, reduces high blood pressure, aids chest and lung problems, heals the kidneys and adrenals, and alleviates vertigo.  A good energetic support for those with leukaemia. Rose Quartz has the power to increase fertility and to protect both mother and unborn fetus from miscarriage.

Cedar trees are some of the most fragrant and widely known scents. Evoking thoughts of cabins in the woods, warm fires, and cold afternoons, cedar can be used many different ways. The berries from the cedar tree are high in Vitamin C and ascorbic acid, and make a great tea or tonic. Cedar can also be used as we offer it here, as a smudge for cleansing and purifying a space as cedar is known to have antibacterial properties.

The ancient Egyptians used cedar oil in their embalming process and ceremony, and the ancient Babylonians used the oil in their perfumes and would hand cedar garlands on their hearths to bring the warm scent into their home as well as luck and prosperity.

It guards against radiation and environmental pollutants, and is highly useful in purifying and neutralizing one’s own negative thoughts and internal conflicts, and turning them into positive, usable energy.

Black Tourmaline is also a powerful grounding stone, electrical in nature, providing a connection between Earth and the human spirit. Its supportive energy aligns the energy centers of the body and channels healing light throughout the system. It promotes a sense of power and self-confidence, allowing for a clearer, more objective view of the world. It is empowering to those who must live or work in challenging environments or when facing difficult circumstances.

What are Runes:

Dating back to as early as the second century CE, the origins of the Common Germanic runic futhark system has endless theories, which is fitting – these esoteric symbols seem to span cultures, territories, & time itself. One of the most well known origin myths is Odin’s ordeal of self-sacrifice; hanging himself for nine nights on Yggdrasil, the World Tree in Norse lore, the almighty god sacrificed an eye - it was at this time, it is said, that the magick, mystery & wisdom of the runes were revealed to him. 

From the Mediterranean, to the Danube, to Switzerland, to the North Italic’s & Etruscan’s, and to Germania - where this arcane collection of shapes & sounds echoing nature’s language & landscape was embraced & infused into tribal spirituality - there is no shortage of links & references to this ancient alphabet. Since little recorded history exists outside of the Icelandic Eddas, it’s the oral traditions that have truly carried the secrets & power of the runes forward. Perhaps that’s fitting; to completely pin-point & decode these symbols would strip them of their evocative source, and it is this very energy that continues to draw people in, opening an unparalleled road of self-discovery & initiation. 

And it is here, within this deck, that the lore & magick of this history continues.
