Enhancing Communication Using Stones Ruled by Jupiter
Here is a simple way to use one of the stones
ruled by Jupiter in a particularly modern way,
at the same time also appealing to the gods of
communication. This is an example of
combining several energies for one purpose.
The crystal carnelian can be used when you
want – or need – to be heard. It is also an
excellent stone to wear or carry when you need
to speak in public for it strengthens the voice,
provides self-confidence and confers eloquence
on the speaker. It is used to counteract doubt
and negative thoughts and is employed in this
spell for that purpose.
YOU WILL NEED
A small piece of carnelian
An incense such as benzoin which is sacred to
Mercury, Roman god of communication
METHOD
✤ The night before you are due to speak light
your incense.
✤ Hold the carnelian in the smoke of the incense.
✤ Say:
Mercury, Ogmios, Heracles
Gods of eloquence and right speech
Help me tomorrow to say the right thing
To make myself heard.
✤ Sleep with the carnelian under your pillow, as
one of its properties is to prevent nightmares.
✤ The next day either have the piece of
carnelian discreetly in front of you where you
can see it or in your pocket where you can
easily reach it
✤ When stuck for words or in difficulty, either
touch the stone or mentally make a link with
it which will enable you to overcome the
blockage.
Simply having something else to focus on in such a
situation is good anyway, but having appealed to the
gods, you draw on the very source of communication
and on the qualities of the crystal. Remember to
thank the gods – who are from three different cultures
– afterwards. You may need their help again
