Protect Your Energy With Copper Jewelry

Whether one believes it or not, the topic of this blog post makes intensely interesting reading.The discovery of copper around 10,000 to 13,000 years ago by pre-historic people initiated the evolution of modern man, since the event allowed ancient civilization to step into "Bronze Age".

The passing millennia witnessed a significant increase of copper usage for social, medical and spiritual purposes. This trend led to an enhanced use of copper in jewelry designs, especially when the beneficial and healing properties of copper were highlighted.

History is replete with data on how easy it is to protect your energy with copper jewelry. This metal has the ability to open and release blocked energy, and has been consistently used as a remedial source for over hundreds of years.

Historians have extensively recorded on the psychic properties of copper and its power to stimulate the flow of energy, since the metal is a good conductor. This ability has ensured that the metal can transmit and enhance energy, help in channeling, communicating and amplifying thoughts. Copper jewelry also transfers vibration frequencies leading to healing support.

In the old days, copper jewelry was highly valued. Wealthy Egyptians wore clothing embellished with copper alloy fittings. Numerous archeological sites have revealed the widespread usage of copper jewelry. The early Indian metal works emphasized this phenomenon, since most pendants and earrings were of hammered and etched copper. Likewise, the Navajo Indian tribes of North America were credited with designing copper jewelry and traded copper bracelets with the Europeans.

The 20th century witnessed the progressive appeal of copper jewelry. Reputed jewelers like Francisco Rebajes and Jerry Fells began crafting modern ornamental items where copper and enamel were used in fusion. The geometric and abstract designs were bold and Renoir-Matisse copper jewelry pieces were highly sought after pieces and became collector items. The traditional tribal symbols of cuff- bracelets and copper-wrap rings were equally eye-catching and extremely popular.

From the early times, mankind has always believed the special property of copper jewelry that improves and protects the health of the wearer. The deep faith is partly based on copper's physical composition and conducting qualities. The modern healers advise the wearers on how to protect energy with copper jewelry, as the metal stimulates the mental and psychic flow of energy. Additionally, the metal controls the transmission of this force between different parts of the human anatomy.

Being an effective physical conductor of heat and electricity, copper jewelry also enhances the spiritualists' belief system. Mythology attributes copper with the power to transmit spiritual energy back and forth between individuals, auras, mind, crystals and the spirit world. Wearing copper ornamental pieces like amulets, bracelets, pendants and rings is believed to enhance the ability to amplify thoughts when sending and receiving psychic communications.

New Age healers and followers carry copper along with their stones and crystals, since it is instrumental in physical and mental healing of the wearer. For centuries, copper bracelets were in vogue. Wearing such pieces acted as deterrents that reduced arthritic and rheumatic diseases. The metal alleviates cramps and helps in preventing wear, tear and calcification of the joints.

Moreover, the other attributes of copper jewelry, besides protecting and enhancing energy, were its ability to improve the circulation of blood, help in detoxification, reduce inflammation, stabilize metabolism and improve oxygen flow. Copper jewelry can transfer psychic energies wherein the lethargic tendencies of the wearer can be overcome. This aspect certainly raises the self esteem of the individual.

Valuable information from extensive research highlighted by numerous medical journals has amply stated that people can protect their energy with copper jewelry. Though being no expert on the healing properties of copper, the few relevant facts that have been gathered claims how effective copper jewelry is in balancing the flow of energies, thereby stimulating the natural healing in the body.

Antimony

My new favorite webcomic is Gunnerkrigg Court, and I think all fellow Neo-Pagans should start reading it immediately. It takes place in a fantasy version of our world in which the sterile, futuristic city is in conflict with the magical forest filled with fairies and gods. The heroine of this story is a girl named Antimony Carver, who lives in a boarding school called Gunnerkrigg Court where she learns how to be a medium between the two worlds. I was immediately curious about the name Antimony because I've never heard of it before and yet it fits in with the style for girls' names today.

So I looked up the definition of Antimony, because I got the sense that it was some sort of science thing from reading the comic. Antimony (pronounced "an-TIH-moh-nee," I think) is derived from the Middle Latin "antimonium". No one is quite sure what that word means or where it originally come from, but most believe it's oldest source is from the Ancient Egyptian "stm", meaning "powdered antimony" because it was used to make eyeshadow. Some sources might list the meaning as French for "monk's bane" but this is folk etymology. So it's a brittle, crystalline, metallic element that is now used in alloys. Well, that's not much to go on in the naming world, even if it has a trendy sound.

But the comic also mentioned that antimony, and it's symbol, was important for alchemy. To Alchemists, the elements didn't just have physical properties that you could see, smell, and touch. They also had philosophical properties. Alchemy is pretty difficult to understand because a lot of surviving reference material is incredibly complex. Alchemists wanted to make sure that anyone wanting to learn their craft would stick with it, so the obscure language was a way of discouraging flaky people. But we do know the gist of what antimony meant to them.

Antimony represents the call of the wild, and the symbol is worn when someone wants to embrace their animal power. So Antimony Carver, who was born in a scientific community but has a natural affinity for conversing with the spirit world is named after a metal used to amplify the wild spirit. Simply brilliant. The Russian word for antimony is sur'ma. In Gunnerkrigg Court, Surma is the name of Antimony's deceased mother. The element was also often associated with wolves, which is significant because the forest spirit that is under Antimony's will takes the form of a wolf.

In a world full of little Averys, Kennedys, and Haileys, Antimony just seems logical. It's so logical that when I was first reading the comic it took me a while to realize that I had never heard it before. The only possible downside I can think of is that it could be confused with Timothy. On the other hand, it's a really creative way to get to the nickname Annie.

As far as I know, Antimony has yet to be added to the real-life naming world. Could Neo-Pagans be the ones to add it?
