Silver

Silver is one of the most commonly used metals in jewelry making, and is popular for reasons beyond its soft, easily workable and aesthetically pleasing nature. When considering its metaphysical properties it makes perfect sense why it's used so often.

Silver is known to attract and retain positive energy without changing it. This is why it's so perfectly used in jewelry. It has the ability to capture whatever energy a gemstone has and enhance it. Because of its reflective nature it also repels or reflects away negative energy. So Silver is protective and energy enhancing at the same time.

Like the moon, Silver is reflective, psychic and balancing. In fact, the Moon and Silver retain almost the same properties, making them connected and energy enhancers for one another. Wearing Silver on a significant Moon centric event, like a Full or New Moon, can boost the moon's effects and paired gemstones on the wearer.

Silver is also believed by some to have positive effects on physical health, by boosting immunity, cleansing the system and purifying the blood.

While we move through Aquarius season, consider pairing silver with any of the Gemstones listed for this month. Silver will boost the gemstone's energy while repelling negative. Worn on a Full Moon it will be even more effective. It kind of gives the old saying "By the light of the silvery moon" a whole new meaning.

Remember that there is no right or wrong way to do this, so don't get so caught up in the details you hesitate to move forward. Look for gemstones that resonate deeply with you and that your intentions are honorable when you set them. Lean into your intuition and explore your personal power and magick.
