Kyanite - A Positive Energy Stone - Myth, Lore and Information

Kyanite is one of my very favorite stones. One of the biggest reasons is that is doesn’t need to be cleansed … it doesn’t hold any negative energy. I still place it in the sun or full moon from time to time, just to give it a treat. Yes, yes, I know, but I do believe everything and I mean everything has consciousness … it’s just different from ours. Belief in the supernatural properties of precious stones goes back beyond recorded history. But, as I have said many times before, that’s what I believe and feel … I am not nor do not expect anybody to do the same. Everyone is on their own journey.

I have a couple of these fabulous stones, and when I do meditate I hold one in my hand or place it on my forehead. Below is some information I have gathered on this stone through the years. You don’t have to believe in this stuff … but if you do, I hope this helps … and if you don’t, have fun anyway. And, please feel free to comment with any other information you may have on these magical stones.

Kyanite, whose name derives from the Greek word kuanos sometimes referred to as "kyanos", meaning deep blue, is a typically blue silicate mineral, commonly found in aluminium-rich metamorphic pegmatites and/or sedimentary rock.

It is one of only two stones that never need cleansing or clearing. It is useful for improving mental and physic awareness, and is excellent for meditation and dream recall. It can also help to ground excess energy instantly. Kyanite can help the holder to connect with their guides. Kyanite aligns all chakras automatically and immediately.

Blue Kyanite is excellent for use specifically on the third-eye chakra. If you choose to sleep with blue kyanite, the process of lucid dreaming will be greatly stimulated. Some say Archangel Michael’s sword is made of a blade of kyanite. The sword cuts to the heart of the truth. Since Michael has been watching over and protecting me for some time now, perhaps that’s why I am so attracted to this stone.

A bridge between mind and matter, Kyanite is a powerful stone of manifestation toward reaching your hopes, dreams and desires. If you have difficulty in sitting still, your mind drifting to you current worries, or being distracted while meditating, Kyanite is one of the best stones to use. Its ability to calm and quiet the chattering, busy mind and enhance meditation is unequaled.

Fairies - Can You See Them Or Are Gone Into The Mystical Mist?

Here is my Mystical Realms Fairy … I have also used her and filled in the blank with other phrases. For instance, my sister is a massage therapist and I have made her one of these with the phrase “Massage Therapists Are Magical”. I know she will love this, but it’s for Yule - Christmas, so I’m hoping she doesn’t check out my blog. I matted and embellished it for her as well as used an embellished frame. Love it. But I do love the Mystical Realms wording myself. Now, onto the post ….

Good Day To All Who Gather in Kindness and Good Intentions!

I thought this was so interesting especially since it’s from 1648.

"The fairies
Were of the old profession;
Their songs were Ave Marias,
Their dances were procession.
But now, alas! they all are dead,
Or gone beyond the seas,
Or, further, for religion fled,
Or else they take their ease."
~Bishop Corbet, whose work was published in I648, and was reprinted many years after by Bishop Percy

I, for one, do not believe they are all gone, but are invisible to our human eye. Although those who are sensitive to the otherworldly realms I’m sure see them from time to time, if only from the corner of their eyes. Perhaps we all do, but some just don’t notice and some don’t think that such beings exist.

Embellished Fairy Art Prints - Aspire and Bright Fairies

Greetings and well-wishes to all. I am offering some of my fairy prints that are matted and embellished that you can find at my Etsy shop. They are ready to be framed. I didn’t know how to explain the color “matt”, which is done with cardstock. I don’t want you to think it’s a regular matt. No two embellished mattes will be exactly alike except for the Rosebud Fairy of course. The size of these is 8-1/2” x 11”, with a 6x6 fairy print. Aspire and Bright Fairies are the ones I have listed so far but I have more to come in the upcoming days.

This was fun to do and I liked the way they came out. Love color, as you can tell from my fairy prints, and this just adds more pizzazz to them. I just might get even more “busy” with the embellishments since I love the funky, patchwork look to my art. © 2010 ArtSings1946. All Rights are Retained by the Artist, ArtSings1946.

I hope you enjoy looking and please pass on those good intentions to all.

Fairy Poem "Rushen Glen" and HOPE Fairy art print and quotes

Good Day To All Who Gather in Kindness and Good Intentions! Below is a fabulous poem from Wonder Tales From Fairy Isles. This enchanting book has just come to my attention and I'm on the lookout for a copy of my own. Hard to do since it's out of print ... but the Fae Folk will send a copy my way soon, I just know it. I have to say the older books have a special something ... at least to me they do. So, I hope you enjoy this and be on the lookout for more from this wonderful book.

Rushen Glen
The pale moon wanes,
The morn is cold,
Each Fairy, Elf and Fay
Snug in a flower
Enwraps herself
To wait the broad bright day.
From our flow`ry beds
We rise again
And bathe in the pearly dew`
Then take the air With a butterfly pair
Linked to a petal blue.
The evening comes,
Adown the Streams,
We sail to the Rushen Glen
On a lily leaf—
And meet once more In song and dance again.
-Frances Jenkins Olcott, "Wonder Tales from Fairy Isles", 1929

I have include a picture of my HOPE Fairy. She brings HOPE to our world in which we are all in need of I expect. Below are so absolutely fabulous quotes on HOPE. Enjoy all the good energies.

Oh How I Love My Arlo Cat !

Greetings and Good Intentions To All ! Well I have decided to blog every so often about our cats. Here is Arlo, our tub of love male cat. He’s not tubby at all, just a very large kitty. I have to say he is my very most favorite thing in the universe, after my daughter of course. I know, I know, it’s not nice to have favorites (we have four cats) …. but I just can’t help it. He is such a blessing. He’s sweet and loving and gentle and kind and sensitive. Really, he really is. And he has a fabulous personality. He makes me laugh heartily all of the time and one really needs to laugh often to help stay on that positive track. Just when you think he can’t get any funnier, sure enough he comes up with something new. He's always giving us hugs ... on his way to the "food" room, he'll hug whoever is in the kitchen .... sometimes even hovers for a bit. He gets up and hugs one of us whenever and wherever ... which is a lot ... what a love man !

You may think we posed him for this picture…but no. Walked into the living room one morning and there he was. Isn’t he beautiful !

Fairy Presence and Approaches

Greetings all lovers of the Faery Folk. I have gathered this information through the years regarding signs of fairy approach and presence … some of these signs could also be, some might say, the presence of spirits. I know, I know I watch too much Ghost Adventures. But, it’s so much fun and very interesting not to mention a tad bit scary. Please feel free to comment and add any other signs that you may know of.



Signs of Faeries Approach and Presence - . A sudden unexplained trembling or whispering of leaves. A whirlwind or dust devil. The bending of grass blades with no perceptible cause. Sudden unexplained chills and goose bumps when alone in nature. The feeling of an insect walking through your hair, when there is none. A rippling of the water when not caused by a fish, a breeze or something tangible. Extreme silliness and times of uncontrolled laughter. An unexplainable loss of time.
