Gems
The gem corresponding to Shani is a blue sapphire. There are three uses for gems to keep balance and peace with Shani:
|
|
| blue sapphire |
|
- Give as a charity (typically to sevants, laborers, monks or other reclusives, time-keepers, mine or mineral workers, incarcerators or prisoners).
- Sacrifice the blue sapphire in the fire of a planetary sacrifice (homa) for Shani.
- Carry on a ring on the middle-finger of your right hand if you are male, left hand
if you are female (this may be the least effective remedy since it lacks the element of
sacrifice and may increase attachment). It is of vital importance that the ring is properly
prepared before wearing (coming soon).
