Magical Properties of Metals: Base Metals Aluminium - The magicians invisibility metal. Reflects incoming energies and makes the perfect base for magic mirrors. Useful for magical protection if worn as jewellry. Copper is primarily a conductor and it is also a bridge in many ways. Its a good metal to use for a magic wand because of this. Copper can be used to draw away negative energy. Tin is an amazing substance that is a reminder that metals are made of crystals and that they are only experienced by us as metallic and hard because the circumstances of our world hold it in that state. If you can clear your mind of the general ideas about tin, you will find it a very helpful, compliant and co-operative element for symbol making especially. Iron is the heart of the Earth but also, the heart of the universe itself. It is both terrestrial and stellar; as above, so below. Therefore, you can use iron as a grounding tool for earthbound work and at the same time, as a universal tool for other work. Iron is the metal of choice for out of body experiences and shamanic travel as it opens up the connections between this world, and the others. Lead is the silent metal. It is a law upon itself and in magic, creates a space of silence. This is the perfect metal for black space meditations. Because of its ability to be silent in and of itself, it makes a good barrier to all forms of energy, and can be used to keep things in, as well as out; however, that is not its main purpose in energy magic but indeed, it is about the silence within. Zinc is the metal of magical revelation. It appears innocent and ordinary in its physical state, but on the other levels zinc is an extraordinary event with powerful transformational properties. One of the most fascinating metals to work with in energy magic. Nickel is an extraordinary metal which extends into most dimensions, and has many levels of existence. It is extremely complex and when added to an alloy, increases the complexity of the mix by its very presence. It is therefore useful when additional information or energy is required, or when dealing with trying to solve problems, advance knowledge or a personal breakthrough or threshold shift is required. Magical Properties of Metals: Precious Metals Gold is the sun metal. It has therefore been linked over the millennia with everything to do with health, wealth, and growth. On another level, it is about slow flow towards accomplishment. When working with gold, bear in mind that most things sold as gold these days are alloys. 24k gold is pure gold only. Silver is a high level conductor, an open river that carries all things both ways. Silver absorbs many things but it doesnt store them which makes it into a very good metal for magical charms that need to flow and work on a continuous basis and without needing to be cleaned in between. Silver is also magically neutral. Platinum has been called the solid wisdom metal. It has a time attribute similar to lead which gives it extra dimensionality and a viewpoint of the wisdom of hindsight (or foresight). Platinum is an excellent metal for soul meditations and to help find and keep on a true road in this lifetime. Ruthenium is an interesting metal which in and of itself isnt that strong, but lends strength when added to gold or platinum. For energy magic, Ruthenium can be a good choice when we need a catalyst to lift existing strengths and qualities to the next level. Rhodium is the metal of achievement beyond earthly wealth, power and respect. Meditations and potions invoking rhodium have the power to move the world in a very different way. Palladium is the metal of guardianship on the highest levels. Not a protector or a teacher, but a stable champion and a friend to keep grounded even when travelling very far from home. Osmium is the metal of endurance beyond reason and strength beyond expectation. Adding the essence of osmium to a potion will evoke the vast reserves of strength which lie within each of us, but which we rarely reach or tap. Iridium is the crucible metal and it is all about staying true to oneself in changing circumstances or even in hell itself. Iridium is helpful when absolute resolve is required; and through this resolve remaining steady, the environment becomes changed instead. A great seed component of energy magic potions that require a miracle to bring about the desired outcome. Plutonium is alive, active and extremely complex. If the energy magician can get away from previous entrainments about this metal, the ability of plutonium to interact with the environment and cause it to change is an extremely powerful change catalyst and change bringer indeed. Uranium is the shape shifter metal. With its many aspects, it can become whatever the observer is most interested in and it has aspects of all major metals combined within it. It can be used to awaken sleeping aspects of the self, and to discover more of the whole story in any context. Magical Properties of Metals: Transition Metals Zirconium is the first of the transition metals, their very existence being a practical reminder that metals are crystaline in essence - and nothing more so than zirconium, which is manufactured to produce the beautiful artificial cubic zirconia diamonds. Light and strong, lustrous and exceptionally resistant to corrosion, zirconium dances between the planes and keeps its identity regardless of the states it inhabits. Magically, this makes it into a good companion for far journeys, and transmutation. Titanium is a light, strong metal with low density which seems at home most in an oxygen free environment - space metal, in other words. Use for meditations, explorations and invocations of stellar entities, and interstellar communication. Chromium is primarily a catalyst that helps lift us up and out of ordinary places and into the extraordinary. Both radiant and reflective, it can be used as a portal for extradimensional travel. Tungsten is a strong and powerful protector, highly resistant to heat and other forms of radiation. It has a core quality of strength in structure in difficult environments, including extraterrestrial environments. Manganese has interesting effects on its environment and belongs to the group of metals used in shape shifting. Because of its ability to both deflect and refract light and energy, it is a flexible shield maker and strengthener, an ally to the traveller. Cobalt takes the refraction properties of manganese one step further and produces very specific, deeply hypnotic emanations that can both cloak and transform the traveller. Radiant, powerful and extremely psychically active. Cadmium is on the other side to cobalt in relation to manganese and has a strong resonance to the physical, from where it refracts outward as it transmutes itself and stretches into other dimensions. It is good for a base, and a launch pad to far journeys, providing a grounding or beacon back home, as well as an ongoing ladder of unfoldment points to go further and further from home. Good for beginners. Mercury is in essence a flow of crystals, a crystal river. Extremely active and impactful at the multi-level, mercury has many applications from change, via transdimensional transportation of consciousness to being a perfect choice for a magic mirror.
