Tap Into The Power Of The Egyptian Gods
The Egyptians believed in the preventative power of magic and created charms and amulets to keep them safe.
They incorporated symbols associated with the gods, and inscribed them with hieroglyphs, using sacred stones to bump up the power quota, and often wearing them as jewellery.
Tap into the power of the gods by using the stones connected with them. Choose one that suits your needs and either wear it as jewellery, or keep it in a velvet pouch. Write your desire on a piece of paper in red ink and then add it to a charm bag.
CARNELLIAN: Red and orange were the colours of power, heat, fire and passion. This stone was associated with the goddess Sekhmet. Use it to restore vitality and give you strength when stressed. It helps to boost confidence and personal power.
JADE: Used in statues and artwork, jade was thought to embody perfect harmony. It was also used in protective amulets. Hold a piece of jade for happiness, balance and to promote good health.
LAPIS LAZULI: This stone was often used to make scarab amulets. Its colour matches the deep blue of the sky, and it was thought mediating with it helped commune with the gods. Use lapis to tap into your higher self, and receive psychic messages.
MALACHITE: This green stone is associated with pleasure and the goddess Hathor. Use malachite in charms for good fortune and abundance.
PERIDOT: The Egyptians referred to this as the ‘gem of the Sun’ because of its startling colour when held up to the light. This green gold stone was believed to keep away evil spirits. Wear today to inject playfulness into your life and as a form of protection.
TURQUOISE: This stone was prized by the Egyptians who loved to make jewellery from it. Turquoise brought great joy and was associated with the goddess Hathor. Wear as a pendant to improve communication skill and stimulate new ideas.

Thought For the Day
Thought For the Day
The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;
So watch those thoughts with care. (Buddha)

The Egyptian Book of the Dead
The Egyptian Book of the Dead
This might not sound like a bestseller to us, but to the Ancient Egyptians it was an essential read!
It may seem morbid to place such importance on the dead, but with hundreds of gods waiting on the other side, the Egyptians believed in securing a soul’s path to the next life.
They did this by anointing the dead, and burying them with charms and seals. Text from the book would be carved on the sarcophagus, and in later years, written on papyrus. It was important the book was close at hand, so that the dead soul could refer to it during their journey to the underworld.
The book itself contained spells, charms and passwords which make the transaction run smoothly.

Pyramid Power
No one can deny the startling beauty of the pyramids. Amazing works of art, they evoke powerful feelings and also some interesting theories as to how they were created.
The Egyptians used them as tombs for their pharaohs and queens. They were built at an angle to the Sun to incorporate its powers.
Some believe that they were triangular in shape so the spirits of the dead could climb easily to the stars and on to the next life. The point and the way the pyramid stretches outwards at the base is also linked to the rays of the Sun.
