Diamonds have always been at the center of the whole engagement and marriage ceremony, but now we women wear them and buy them just for fun. And that is okay. We are allowed. :)
Have you ever wondered about diamonds symbols and origins? Well I did, and this is what all I found, in a nutshell.
Diamonds represent faithfulness, love, purity, innocence, and relationships filled with love. It removes certain types of deviations in the aura, which can be best imagined as sort of voids, and diamond fills them with the pure energy of love. It inspires creativity, ingenuity, inventivity, faith, endurance, and helps in manifesting abundance in all areas of life. Diamond is a symbol of the richness of the Self. As the hardest mineral of all, it is especially esteemed owing to its beauty, purity, and ability to reflect light in a special manner. Diamond brings purity, and clear positive resolution of all problems that bother us, especially after we have become willing to admit our wrong perceptions and approaches, or our unreal expectations. More info on diamonds: The Hindu tradition relates diamonds to the planet Venus, while some other ancient peoples believed that they are connected to the planet Mars. The later is probably due to the warriors' custom of wearing diamond stones in battle for protection and strength. It was thought that diamonds make the warriors invincible and that they fortify their muscles. In favor of this thesis speaks the Greek word for diamond - adamas - which means invincible. The diamonds have been called kings of all crystals, stones of the mind and gemstones of the masters. This is no doubt, the most powerful crystal imaginable in the domain of metaphysics. It is able of reaching deep into us and opening much more spiritual doors than any other stone. Even more than that, diamond is able to bring abundance and fulfillment of the desires or undertaking you can only dare to imagine. If you dare to dream your own and true destiny, diamond is here to help you accomplish it.
I personally love the thought that if you dare to dream your own true destiny that a diamond will help you accomplish it. Especially since I feel my true destiny is to work with diamonds :)
And just an example of one I work with, here is some rough diamonds at their best:
Your cultural history of diamonds is interesting. Also interesting is the choice of planets that have been associated with diamonds. Maybe there is something to John Gray's assertion of where women and men come from.
ReplyDeleteI believe you are right...if women are from Venus then we must love what is associated with it ;) An ex of mine used to joke that due to me being a Pisces (a fish) that I was naturally attracted to sparkly shiny things. I have to say that was one of the few things he and I agreed upon. :)
