Welcome,
Bright soul,
Back to our circle of stone and story,
Where the treasures of the earth awaken,
And the oldest magic stirs in their depths.
Today,
The air hums with a deep,
Rich warmth.
It's the feeling of life itself,
Flowing in strong,
Steady pulses,
The rhythm of a heartbeat.
This is ruby,
The heart of fire.
For centuries,
Ruby has been the gem of wealth and power.
It was set in the crowns of kings and queens,
Carried into councils of rulers,
And kept close by those who wished to walk boldly into destiny.
But ruby's wealth is more than gold and jewels.
It is the wealth of energy,
Of courage,
Of knowing you can create the life you desire.
It is the stone that says,
Stand tall,
You are worthy of the throne of your own life.
Ruby is also a shield.
It is a stone of protection,
Its deep red fire set to guard against danger,
Deceit,
And even sickness of the spirit.
In ancient times,
Warriors believed ruby would warn them of threats,
Glowing brighter in their presence.
And yet,
For all its strength,
Ruby is also a bringer of joy.
It lights the inner flame,
Banishes the grey clouds from the heart,
And reminds us that life is not only to be survived,
It is to be savored.
Perhaps one of ruby's gentlest gifts is its power against nightmares.
Placed under a pillow,
It was believed to guard the dreamer from dark visions,
Guiding the mind toward peaceful rest and the soul toward bright,
Clear dreams.
To hold a ruby is to feel a pulse of pure life force.
It is warm in the hand,
Steady in the heart,
And alive with possibility.
Close your eyes now,
And imagine a glowing ember in your chest,
Deep crimson,
Steady and warm.
With each breath,
It brightens,
Sending strength through your body,
Clearing your mind,
Filling you with quiet confidence and radiant joy.
Let this red fire wrap around you like a cloak,
Keeping you safe,
Lifting your spirit and lighting your path forward.
A blessing for your path.
May ruby's fire bring you wealth of spirit and of life.
May it shield you from harm.
Fill your days with joy and guard your dreams with gentle light.
Until next time,
Walk with courage and let your heart burn bright.
