*
Energy: Receptive
Element: Akasha
Powers: Longevity, Past-Life Regression, Healing, Protection
Magikal Uses:
Petrified wood consists of ancient trees that, eons ago, were
covered with mineral-rich water.
The water slowly dissolved the wood and replaced it with various minerals.
This process produced what we know as "petrified wood."
It is a fossil and is ruled by Akasha.
Because of its great antiquity (fossilised wood is millions of years
old), it is carried or utilised in spells designed to extend the life span
or, alternately, to increase our enjoyment of, and evolution within,
our lives.
Also, due to its age, petrified wood is used to recall past incarnations.
The "stone" is carried as a protective amulet because of its hardness and strange appearance.
In earlier times it was thought to "scare off" evil.
Today we view it as setting up barriers of energy which deflect negativity.
Petrified wood is also carried as a charm against drowning.
If you are lucky enough to find a piece of petrified wood, then you are lucky indeed.
It holds the magikal properties of secrets, wisdom, strength and transformation.
Pay special attention to your dream after finding a piece of petrified wood, as the spirit of the tree may be trying to speak to you.
