Ruby’s Magic

The grimson red colour of Ruby comes from the aluminium oxide. It is one of the four precious stones, the four kings of the Gems: Ruby, Emerald, Saphire and of course Diamond. The four kings are usually identified as the Earthly representation of the Four Elements.

Ruby for Fire,

Emerald for Earth,

Sapphire for Water,

and Diamond for Air!

The four precious stones can be represented as a symbol / idol of the Element. Of course there are cheaper ways to do that but for an Wizzard or Witch of Earth this precious stones are really useful.

It is a precious stone and it will cost you hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars/euros to buy one but you can also find tumbled Ruby stones valued few dollars (10-20USD/EUROS). Trust me. They WILL do the job!

Ruby is associated with the Sun and Mars in both religions and alchemy. Ruby is considered the stone of Planet Mars and the birthstone of Aries, Leo, Capricorn and for some authors and scholars Virgo! Those who belong to these signs or wish to enhance the powers of the planet Mars in their lives they should get a Ruby! It is also believed to have the powers and quality of the tarot card “the Emperor”.

In eastern traditions Ruby is devoted to Buddha, Lord Surya and Lord Krishna. Especially in India but also everywhere Ruby is highly valued as the precious stone which maintains and enhances wisdom, wealth and keeps away evil witches and evil wizards.
