Horn Coral
Horn Coral! At Samhain, my precious stones are fossils that I find here in Northern Michigan, an area that has been called the garden of the sea, based on its past as a shallow sea near the equator long ago. Over the last few years I’ve shared Fossil Garden, Petoskey, and Chain Coral. This year, I’m offering Horn Coral.
In Michigan, Horn Coral is found in rocks 323-485 million years old! It was named this because of its resemblance to bull’s horns. The horn shape’s connection to prosperity magick comes from a story about Zeus where he fills a broken horn with fruit and flowers that can then grant wishes. Use Horn Coral to attract success and prosperity.
Horn Coral is a grounding stone that is said to have a soothing effect. It can help reduce fear and bring us into a safe, meditative state where we can access the ancient wisdom and resilience that it holds. Use Horn Coral to be present in the moment and when learning new lessons.
Horn Coral can also be used for protection. Ancient warriors would adorn their helmets and weaponry with pieces of the stone before battles. And in Egypt, it was placed in tombs with the passed, to protect them against evil spirits. Use Horn Coral when you feel the need to be guarded.
Fossils represent the cycle of life, time, evolution, and change. Because of their link to the past, they are used in past life work, ancestral healing, and in the release of old paradigms. They have been used across time and cultures to strengthen telepathy and clairvoyance, to aid in astral travel, and to connect to ancient ways. They are also used as talismans for protection.
Lithomancy, divination using stones, is an old form of dating back to at least the 800s. You can use your fossil as you would any other crystal or you could practice a little Lithomancy.
