Carnelian Runes

The runic alphabet was used by the Nordic & Germanic tribes of Northern Europe for both secular & religious purposes. They were primarily a magickal system of pictographs representing forces & objects in Nature. It was believed that by calling upon the appropriate rune, one could make contact with the force in Nature that the symbol represented. (From “A Practical Guide to The Runes” by Lisa Peschel)

Emotionally, Carnelian gives courage, positivity & motivation for success; promotes trust in oneself & overcomes negative conditioning. It improves analytic abilities & sharpens concentration. It is a powerful protector against rage, envy & resentment, banishing emotional negativity & replacing it with a love for life.

Carnelian carries a passionate, fiery, determined energy, which makes it excellent for creative & artistic endeavours, performers, writers & public speakers.
