Throughout history the special virtue of Amethyst has been
that of preventing drunkenness and overindulgence. Ancient Greeks and Romans
routinely studded their goblets with Amethyst believing wine drunk from an
Amethyst cup was powerless to intoxicate, and a stone worn on the body,
especially at the navel, had a sobering effect, not only for inebriation but in
over-zealousness in passion.
Catholic bishops also wore Amethyst in a ring to protect from mystical intoxication. Kissing the ring kept others from similar mystical intoxication and kept them grounded in spiritual thought. Amethyst is reputed to control evil thoughts, increase intelligence and render men shrewd in business matters. Amethyst is popular in rosaries and prayer beads due to the stone’s atmosphere of pious calm, imbuing a sense of mental peace and quietude.
Travelers wear Amethyst as a protection from treachery and surprise attacks, it keeps soldiers from harm and gives them victory over their enemies. It is considered a powerful psychic stone of protection against witchcraft and black magic and was said to lose its color and turn pale when placed near an angry attacker. Amethyst protects against psychic attack, paranormal harm or ill-wishing, and returns the energy back to the universe after being transformed into positive, loving energy.
To increase this power and attract good luck, draw an image of the sun and the crescent moon over an Amethyst in lavender incense smoke.
Called the “All-healer,” Amethyst is one of the most effective crystals for healing people, plants and animals.
