Ruby Lore

Tradiaitonally rubies are used for increasing wealth.  An old custom in India said that anyone who posseses a ruby will accumulate other precious gems. 

In magick lore, when worn, rubies were said to convey invulnerability or protection against all foes, wicked spirits, negativity, plague, fascination and famine.  It was often used by soldiers to guard against wounds in battle. 

Rubies kept in the home are said to guard against storms and negativity, specially if it is first touched to the four outside corners or the house.  Similarly a ruby can be used to touch the boundries of a garden to protect it from violent storms.

Ruby is ruled by mars and is generally used during magickal rituals to increase energies available to the caster, and it can also be placed on the altar by a red candle to give you strength when you are feeling tired and drained.  Placed beneath the pillow and worn to bed is said to help keep nightmares away. 

Rubies are a powerful stone of protection of all types.
