Agate: That Friend We Can Rely On

A common stone, agate might be familiar to you as the polished slices used as coasters or other decorations around the house. Agate comes in many colors, and often displays stripes or bands, which are created during the layer by layer formation of the stone. Wikipedia on agate.

The various color frequencies and opacities of agate give it great variation in frequency and metaphysical properties, but there are some commonalities. Agate is traditionally used in rainmaking ceremonies, and is said to ward off thirst when sucked or carried. Like running water, agate creates barriers for psychic protection, and purifies body and mind of unwanted energies. Agates are popularly used as healing stones, with different colors relating to different functions and frequencies of the physical, psychic, and spiritual bodies.  Here are some suggestions for healing with agate at Charms of Light.

Banded agates relate to multidimensional thinking and astral travel. Their balancing and stabilizing nature makes them ideal for shapeshifting, lucid dreaming, shamanic flight, and interplanetary and astral journeys, in which they both facilitate the journey and function as a sort of energetic Rescue Remedy, normalizing the strange for easy processing. My stone of choice here is the White Banded Agate.
