Amethyst
Amethyst is a form of Quartz with a rich and beautiful violet colour caused by the presence of aluminium and/or iron with earths natural radiation. For me, this magical stone represents all that is the New Age, representing the incoming 7th Ray of Ceremonial Order and Magic, leaving behind the 6th Ray of Devotion, the negative aspects of which, can be coercion and manipulation. For many, Amethyst is a protective and purifying stone, which can be used in conjunction with the Ascended Master St Germaine and his violet flame of purification. He can be called upon in meditation to clear any negative thinking by visualising the most beautiful violet flame cleansing away any unwanted negative energies.
One legend surrounding Amethyst relates how Bacchus, perhaps with a sore head after some serious partying, had suffered a slight of some sort, and in order to avenge himself vowed that the first person he came across should be devoured by tigers. As it happens, Amethyst, a fair and beautiful maiden, on her way to pray at the Shrine of Diana was passing by as the tigers sprang at her. Seeking protection from Diana, she was turned to a white stone to render the attack useless. Bacchus meanwhile, repenting after his cruelty and making an offering to Diana, poured the juice of the grape over the petrified body of Amethyst creating the gorgeous violet hue that we know today.

Amethyst has taken on the attribute of being able to protect people against the self sabotaging technique of drinking to excess. It acts as a reminder that contact with our higher self is of the utmost importance and that excess of any drugs, one of the most potent of which is alcohol, should be avoided. Anything that takes us away from knowing ourselves can lead to separation thus hindering our connection with Source and Ascension.

Gridding ones workplace with amethyst helps raise the energy of a healing room or bedroom. Place a stone in each corner and one on the ceiling in the middle (etherically if it isn't physically possible) and connect each stone together using a crystal wand and your intent. See a laser beam of light being transmitted from the tip of the crystal and see each amethyst being joined creating a square or whatever shaped room you have. I then connect each stone to the crystal on the ceiling (or on the floor above) creating a pyramid of light. With a sweeping motion I create a laser show of Light creating the apex of the pyramid. In my mind, every time you walk into this room, it will be like walking into a beautiful pyramid of amethyst light...feel the difference of energy for yourself ! In essence, this kind of grid work can be utilised with any crystal and over any space from a few meters to many miles. Oh, you can take this a step further...if using a pyramid, why not create an octahedron (perhaps refer to blog of 2nd of December), by visualising the bottom part of the pyramid mirrored, as above, so below...why not spin it...feel the difference !
