Grenat

Le grenat est une pierre précieuse qui renferme la lumière du troisième rayon. (Les autres pierres précieuses du troisième rayon sont le rubis, qui est également utilisé pour le sixième rayon, le diamant, le quartz rose et le béryl rose.)

Paul le Vénitien, chohan du troisième rayon, utilise ces pierres précieuses pour renforcer et purifier physiquement le sang et le cœur, ainsi que pour ancrer le troisième rayon de l'amour divin. Ces pierres précieuses nous aident à développer la sensibilité du cœur, nous préparant ainsi à recevoir le don du discernement des esprits.

Garnet is a beautiful stone, but it is soft. The ancients sometimes confused garnets and rubies, lumping all red stones into one designation. Garnet ranges in color from dark red to violet to orange-brown. It also comes in yellow or green.

Medieval writers referred to the garnet as the carbuncle. The Hebrew name for carbuncle was bareketh, meaning “flashing stone.” Eastern legends say Noah suspended a carbuncle in the Ark to diffuse light.

Like the ruby, in medieval times garnet was said to warn its owner of approaching danger and trouble by changing its color. Amulets of garnet were worn to protect against evil and terrifying dreams and to prevent skin diseases. The garnet also has a long tradition of being used for the strengthening of the blood.

Both the ruby and the garnet are used as focuses for the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the blood of Christ.
