The lore of garnets can be traced back to the ancient Greek myth of Persephone. She was the maiden daughter of Zeus, the most powerful Greek god, and Demeter, the Earth mother whose realm was plants and agriculture.
Persephone was picking flowers when she was abducted by Hades, the ruler of the underworld. Zeus sought out Hermes to find her and bring her back, but because she had eaten of the pomegranate seed, she was obligated [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] to spend a third of the year with Hades, who became her new husband.
The term garnet [url=http://bbs.dhzx.com.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=140858&fromuid=11311]moncler outlet Quality Home Addition Contractors - How to pick and choose. - wri[/url] comes from the Phoenician term for pomegranate: punica geranatum. From this came the Latin term, "granatus," which translates as "seed." Garnets appear like pomegranate seeds individually and also, in their natural matrix where they can be found in clusters.

Persephone's rising up from the underworld and disappearing in the late autumn months represents the seasonal cycles of plant growth in temperate climates. In the winter months, when plants are barren and the Earth itself seems to be asleep, Persephone is underground. In the spring, she rises up with to be with her mother, Demeter, who brings the bounty of leafy growth with joy at her daughter's return.
The mythological association of garnets, particularly red garnets, with Persephone suggests that the gemstone might be associated with a particular type of love - not the superficial type of love, but deep love that takes you so far out of yourself that you end up in a different world.

Note that Persephone [url=http://www.nigeria.gov.ng/forum/letters/259803-nike-air-jordan-pas-cher-how-dna-is-used-in-paternity-testing-written-by-leo-stain#296067]nike air jordan pas cher How DNA is Used in Paternity Testing - written by Leo Stain[/url] was not courted. She was swept down. Once she tasted the underworld, she could never [url=http://www.giuseppezanottipaschere.com]giuseppe zanotti soldes[/url] leave; it was an initiation of sorts. Hades, Persephone's husband, inhabits a world in which one is forced to leave one's body behind in ashes.

Hades was also sometimes called "Lord of the Riches," because indeed, all riches do come from the earth. Jungian depth psychology and astrological lore associates [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Hollister-b5.php]hollister[/url] Hades with catharsis, radical change from deep within. The underworld is a metaphor for the unconscious currents of one's existence - the dream world, where archetypal characters interact in stories that have mythological patterns.
Apart from the myth, over the centuries garnets have been the subject of much lore. There's a Biblical story about Noah hanging a garnet around his neck in order to have safe passage through dark and stormy nights, which perhaps accounts for garnets being offered to travelers as a talisman for safe journeys.
Garnet is named as January's birthstone. The zodiac sign is that of Aquarius, a sign associated with the warmth of friendship and working well with groups of people.
The Koran describes Heaven's light as all pervasive, glowing because [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]nike air jordan pas cher[/url] of garnets. Garnets, in this case, contained a powerful internal energy. Romans compared the glow of garnet to that of coal and the passionate red, led them to associate the gem with Mars, the god of war. Garnets are also associated with the hot weather of summer time.
Perhaps the lore of garnets also has something to do with how they are formed. Garnets, found in metamorphic and volcanic rock, are formed deep underground and under extreme pressure and temperature. They [url=http://www.tagverts.com/barbour.php]barbour deutschland[/url] are a type of silicate that share a common crystalline, isometric, cubic structure.
Though we most often identify them with the color red, they can be found in a wide variety of hues, depending upon the composition of calcium, iron and manganese. Garnets range from green, lemon yellow, black, rose, orange and even black.
Human beings have used garnets for adornment for thousands of years. Garnets have even been found in bronze age tombs. According to [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php]hollister[/url] Knuth, the earliest recorded garnet mine is in Sri Lanka, and dates back about 2500 years.

Today, garnets are mined on several continents. Those that are not gemstone quality [url=http://www.jxxytv.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1970090]hollister outlet Custom Screen Doors and their benefits - written by Chaitanya P[/url] are quite common. I remember picking out small red in [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Hollister-b5.php]hollister france[/url] granite in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire which I explored as a teenager.
If you want to learn more about garnets and your relationship to them, here's an entirely different approach. Just try holding a garnet in your hand for a while and see if you get a new feeling. Perhaps you'll see some images in your mind's [url=http://www.ktbruce.co.uk/barbourjackets.php]barbour jackets[/url] eye.
Contemplate what you feel and see if it provides any insight. This may seem crazy, but ask the garnet a question. You might be surprised about what a garnet can teach you about your personal journey, picking flowers with your sweetheart, or wandering about in a dream somewhere in the realm of Hades.

The Myth and Lore of Garnets: January's BirthstoneArticle Summary: As a jeweler, I am often asked about birthstones by my customers. Yet few understand the historical connection behind between gem and month. Nor do many considered what is behind the attraction one may feel toward a particular gem. This article considers garnets, the birthstone of January, using myth and lore, to grasp this gem's metaphysical 'meaning'.
