365 Tarot Spreads: Revealing the Magic in Each Day - Sasha Graham 2014

Magical Gemstones Spread

On This Day

Garnets were named for the seeds of a pomegranate, amber is the softest gemstone, and in the Middle Ages women wore opals to protect their blond hair.

On this day in 2008, four robbers dressed as women entered Harry Winston’s jewelry shop in Paris. They made off with over $108 million in diamonds and jewels. In 2011, twenty-five people were arrested when the missing jewels were discovered in a Paris rain sewer.

Summation of Spread

The suit of Pentacles is associated with gems, which are mined from the earth’s soft interior. The Knight of Pentacles is often seen as a man making an offering, perhaps an engagement ring to the woman he loves.

Gems are magical in their properties and have been held as talismans for centuries and bestowed as gifts for their special meanings. The Magical Gemstones Spread is based upon qualities associated with certain gems. You may never look at your jewelry the same way again.
