Amethyst in Folklore:

The Amethyst is associated with Pisces, Aries (especially the violet and purple Variety), Aquarius, and Sagittarius. It is a Symbol of Heavenly Understanding, and of the Pioneer in Thought and Action on the Philosophical, Religious, Spiritual and Material Planes.

Linked with [Saint Valentine]?, it assists those who wear it to maintain Faithfulness. It causes Peace and Calmness of Mind. It is carried by Soldiers on the Shafts of Spears and on Swords as a Charm against Death; it also brings Calmness and Victory in Battle. It is useful for the Revelation of Prophetic Truth. It strengthens Wisdom, Faith and Religion, and is an Aid in Prayer and in Dreaming. It is a Charm against Witchcraft, Poison (it warns of the Presence of Poison by dimming) and Evil Thoughts; it is an Aid to Chastity, a Power against all Forms of Overindulgence, and a Strengthener of the Mind. It is a Charm for securing the Favour of Princes, Rulers, Churchmen, People of Wealth, Influence and Power, and People with Prophetic Ability, Poets, Travellers, Publishers, etc.

Bound to the left Wrist, the Amethyst enables the Wearer to see the Future in Dreams. It represses Evil Thoughts and Actions, gives a keen Business Sense, and warns of ill Health. The Amethyst attracts Love and good Luck, and helps to prevent Drunkenness.

When engraved with the Names of the Sun and the Moon, it protects against Sorcery. A winged Horse cut on an Amethyst is a protective Talisman for Horses and their Riders. Immerse an Amethyst in hot Water, take it out, dry it carefully, and apply it to Headache or Toothache.

To dream of Amethysts indicates Success to a Traveller, Clergyman, Sailor, Philosopher, Teacher or Mystic, also Protection, Faith and fruitful Thoughts.
