Gems As Good Luck Symbols

For centuries people have been using gems as good luck symbols. 

 

These good luck symbols which may be  lucky gemstone charms, talismen or amulets are thought to bring about a change for the better in a person’s fortune, chance or success especially in the areas of love, money or business. 

Most agree that the traditional astrological concept of birthstones and gems as good luck symbols goes back to the bible and in particular to the twelve stones in Aaron’s ceremonial breastplate which was a sacred breastplate worn by the High Priest of the Israelites according to the Book of Exodus.

People use crystals and gems as good luck symbols to attract personal fortunes and influence and to guard against evil powers and sickness. Lucky gemstones, amulets and charms are used to encourage good feelings, positive energy, and renewed success in love, finance and life in general. 

Gems as good luck symbols are believed to be the force behind random occurrences of fruitful events. They have been used by great leaders, common people and even the gods throughout various civilizations. 

Gems as good luck symbols are used in meditation and in magic rituals to gather positive energy and thus encourage good feelings, positive energy, and renewed success in love, finance and life in general. 

Not only do these special gemstones and crystals attract positive energy and power, they also act to ward off evil spirits, guard against evil and protect from danger. Certain gemstones are also thought to protect against illness and emotional distress and promote healing. This is due to their inherent metaphysical properties.

Gems as good luck symbols are also considered to be magical charms. These are objects and are believed to give magical powers to those who are wearing them. Magical charms have been used for hundreds of years to conduct magic spells and also to draw the magical powers into ones life and are designed and made for each individual purpose or need. Magical charms elicit a special type of enchantment. For example, love charms attract a lover to the wearer of the charm.

Magical charms can be extremely powerful and are a popular everyday influence.   Magical charms are chosen to promote love, money, luck, protection and so on. Most magical charms are made to look decorative and ornamental and many are worn as costume jewelry. However these beautiful and decorative chars will still pull powerful magical forces into your life.

Magical charms are used by people of all cultures and religions. They carry magical powers that are of benefit to the wearer. However unlike gems as good luck symbols, magical charms are not intended to be used for a number of different magical purposes. Usually magical charms are made by an expert specifically for one intended purpose. The magical power that goes into these charms is a special ritual that makes each one individual and powerful.
