Hematite
Energy is Projective; Planet is Saturn; Element is Fire; Powers: Healing, Grounding and Divination; Magical/Ritual Lore: To the ancients, hematite was what we now know as bloodstone (see Aries). Hematite possesses the curious property of "healing" itself. Hematite is said to be powerful in drawing illness from the body. It is worn for grounding and stabilizing purposes, and to focus the attention on the physical plane. If you are in need of an answer, hold a piece of hematite over a candle's flame so that it is reflected on it. Gaze at the reflection and visualize your question. The Answer will then come to you.

Onyx
Energy is Projective; Planets: Mars and Saturn; Element is Fire; Deity: Mars; Associated Stone: Diamond; Powers: Protection, Defensive Magic, Reducing Sexual Desires; Magical/Ritual Lore: Onyx is a protective stone when facing adversaries in battle or conflicts of all kinds - or while hurrying down a dark street at midnight. In classical ceremonial magic, the image of the head of the God Mars or a figure of the hero Hercules was engraved on onyx and carried for courage. This stone is for defense against negativity consciously directed toward you.The ancient Egyptians believed the onyx, when worn around the neck, could cool the ardor's of love and provide discord even to the point of separating lovers. Although this stone has the energy effect of producing negative results, one may use it successfully and positively for release. For example, one could use it to end a bothersome relationship. On the other hand, too much onyx on one's body can create discordance with oneself, for it may dam up the flow of one's natural energy. But dyed onyx won't do this, for its energy cells have been sealed in the dyeing process. Wear onyx for self-protection or place a carved figurine on a desktop to keep away bothersome entanglements.
