Smokey quartz Sacred Flame

A beautiful Smokey flame shape hand carved in Brazil. The interior is full of planes and rainbows but it is the presence of tourmaline rods finely criss crossing that sets this crystal apart. Smokey quartz and black tourmaline both have a protective presence so when the appear together alchemical magic happens.

The symbol of the Sacred flame is as old as time. When we work with the shape of a flame we can be reminded of the eternal fire that burns brightly within us. It serves as a reminder of our life-force that rests of the altar of our souls heart.

The sacred fire of Vesta was a sacred eternal flame in Rome. The Vestal virgins served for thirty years, tending the holy fire. On a symbolic level, they also tended the soul of the city through the maintenance sacred fire of Vesta.
We can see healing parallels in this.  Just as temples housed a sacred flame, so too does our body house a sacred flame, one that can never be erased.

Our inner flame accompanies us lifetime to lifetime. It is ours to attend to, to care for and nurture. Crystal flames serve as visual and energetic tools, reminding us of our fiery life-force that burns brightly no matter our circumstances.
