8. Moonstone – Empathy
The Moonstone owes its name to its resemblance to the celestial body. Even in former days, the Greeks and Romans associated the Moonstone with their moon gods and believed it to be a solidified moonbeam.
Each month, the crescent moon rises and sets, reminding us of the cycles of life we experience. The tides and rhythms of the earth are also governed by the moon. Furthermore, moon cycles influence the inhabitants of the earth, both animals and humans. We can look at the effects that the full moon is said to have on the strange behavior of both. The term “crazy” comes from the supposed influence of the moon.
Moonstone promotes intuition and empathy. One can dream more, especially during the full moon. It is a powerful stone for psychic awareness and intuition.
Furthermore, moonstones are helpful in calming emotions, letting go of frustrations and increasing patience and objectivity.
A moonstone elixir was used in the past against insomnia and to prevent sleepwalking.
It is absolutely a beautiful stone for this time of year.
Have a nice week!🌺
