As humankind down through the ages learned to recognize and understand the corresponding properties of crystals, as well as having these stones incorporated in their various forms of worship to the higher powers, which blessed them with all needful things, they began to make various types of jewelry. The gemstone jewelry they fashioned and wore was charms or amulets and talismans, today the love of such beautiful and powerful items abounds. The fashioning of amulet charms is for protective reasons, as their charging took place during the waning or dark moon, while the creation of talismans is for attracting a particular element, such as luck and fertility, and their charging takes place during the full or waxing moon.
As time past by, the value of these stones increased, perhaps because they were becoming more rare as time past away. Therefore, they began to include precious and semi-precious gemstones and crystals into an assortment of regal items, such as pendants and crowns, all which hallmarked higher society of the ages. A study of historical photographs and biblical writings will prove the significance of various crystals to many Kings, Queens and holy men and women.
However, one of the most interesting tales concerning crystals has to do with Atlantis, Mu or Lemuria, a wondrous place of great and illustrious beauty with inhabitants that glowed with the natural light of being in balance according to all life, knowledge, peace and understanding.
They had the knowledge and ability to use the powerful energies of crystals and light. In combination with each other, they were able to produce energy, for completing and enjoying everyday tasks, their arts, music and entertainment, science, medicine, healing and enchanting.
Although it may be hard for us to realize and live such a splendid dream, a connection to these special people, lingers on within our own souls. Of course, we must also remember that individuals were then, as they are now, some seek wisdom, kindness, love and service to others, while there are those who in contrary, seek sensation, power and riches.
Perhaps, the gifts of greatness that some seek are misconstrued, for sensational power and riches last but for a short time, while the greatness and power of wisdom and love are eternal. Somewhere along their way, some hungered for the power of dominion and total control of every soul upon earth.
Although, there was much effort in trying to solve their conflicts of interest, eventually these illustrious people destroyed their very home as well as themselves, as they rendered the ground beneath them asunder, by mistreating their use of their crystals. It seems that the tools they had made useful for healing and enchantment, shattered by a build-up of heat, when the crystals naturally disagreed with the plans of enslaving other individuals for such lowly glory of dominance and greed.
The molestation of crystals came when they were overwhelmed, tuning up beyond capacity, they began the ending for the great and beautiful area we know as Atlantis. The waters from the ocean rose up and swept across the lands, taking a great deal with it. All that remains are a very few tales, relics and some of the shards remain of those great and amazing crystals.
Of course, these pieces of crystals that made up the illustrious city and as tools have memory of those ancient times. They have healed while in slumber for ages, however they do awaken and call out to those who are those inhabitants of Lemuria, reincarnated into our world today. It is too us, that hear these songs of crystals to choose what manner we will live and treat these various crystal treasures given up by the sea.
It is our duty to care for these crystals, while we work with them, in order to bring wisdom and harmony. Crystals are our companions, they aid us in all goodness of healing and enchantment, our responsibility is great when choosing the path that we trod.
It is not for us to try to restructure the greatness of Mu with its wondrous temples and tools for the mere pleasure of powers. Rather, it is for us to recognize the life force within the crystals and respect them for their powerful goodness, universal love and unity of purpose for bringing about a world filled with life, love, wisdom and healing.
I personally own a copy of these two books in my collection and I love them.
The Crystal Bible offers some really great photos of crystals and gemstones that make for easier identification when you are a novice or even a collector.
Love is the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals offers some really great information about working with crystals and gemstones for so many various purposes.
