Lavender and Amethyst: Peace Be Upon You

Whether you are doing an organized spell or ritual, making a mojo bag or a poppet, or merely finding things to carry or leave in your space to bring in a particular energy, pairing stones and herbs with synergistic properties is an easy way to increase the strength of your project.  They complement and enhance each other, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

Lavender and amethyst go well together to bring calm, peace, and relaxation into your life and your space.  Use them in a sleep sachet, a calming amulet, or any working where you need a chill, relaxing vibe.  

Lavender is an herb native to the Mediterranean area, but cultivated all over the world.  It is protective, calming, and bees love it.   Its tiny purple flowers grow on long spikes amid grey green foliage, making it an attractive border or background plant for your garden.  It is used culinarily, dried as part of a dried floral arrangement, or in a fresh arrangement as well.  It is a classic ingredient in sleep sachets, bath soaps, and candles.  It is good for love, protection, peace, and purification.  

Amethyst is a crystalline form of quartz.  It is most commonly in the purple spectrum, ranging from palest Kool Aid lavender to a purple so deep it's almost black.  It occasionally occurs in grey or pink, as well.  It is sometimes cut into things like candle holders, book ends, and even bathroom sinks.  Its spiritual properties include peace, calming, psychic development, and psychic and spiritual healing.  It can also help those fighting addictions to resist the irresistible substances.

Pair lavender and amethyst in a lavender or purple mojo bag for calming, peace, and healing of your mind, spirit, and emotions.  Put them near your bed to help encourage deep, peaceful sleep.  Keep them with you while you are doing psychic work such as tarot reading, especially for another person, to enhance your abilities as well as to protect you from stray bad energies.  They can also help heal the other person simply by being in their presence.  Gift them to friends or use them yourself when working on healing addictions, whether to drugs, cigarettes, or any harmful vice.

Let Mother Nature help you with your stresses and distresses by enlisting two of her most calming, peaceful allies, lavender and amethyst.
