Womxn on the Moon has long been a space that strived to celebrate the power of crystals and the role it plays in healing journeys. We are proud to craft bespoke jewelry celebrating the beauty of resin and natural stones. We're excited to begin a blog series to share the striking allure of one of my personal favorite stones: lapis lazuli.
A Stone Steeped in History and Royalty
Lapis lazuli isn't just a gem; it's a storied relic of ancient civilizations, revered for its rich blue hues reminiscent of a starry night sky. Throughout history, from the grandeur of ancient Egypt to the elegance of Renaissance Europe, lapis lazuli has adorned the regal and the divine. Scholars even speculate that many early references to sapphire may actually be descriptions of lapis lazuli, highlighting its prominence and value across cultures.
The Power and Meaning of Lapis Lazuli
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, lapis lazuli holds profound spiritual significance. Known as a stone of protection, it shields against negative energies and promotes inner peace by releasing stress and tension. This serene gem fosters harmony and deep self-awareness, encouraging honesty, compassion, and moral clarity. It stimulates creativity and objectivity, empowering individuals to confront their truths with confidence and authenticity.
A Journey Through Time and Myth
The legends surrounding lapis lazuli are as ancient as civilization itself. In Sumerian mythology, the goddess Inanna adorned herself with lapis lazuli as she journeyed through the underworld, symbolizing its association with divine protection and spiritual insight. Across cultures, from Mesopotamia to Persia, lapis lazuli has been treasured not only for its beauty but also for its metaphysical properties believed to connect the wearer with higher realms.
