More Worry Beads By Le Noeud Papillon But With Greek Mythology Story And Meaning

 So, today's foray is into Greek Mythology and finding stones to place together that being meaning to each set. Below are three examples:

Amethyst + Hematite – The Tempered Mind

Story: Dionysus (ecstasy) meets Ares (discipline). Legend says amethyst was born from Dionysus’ tears on clear quartz after sobering up from rage.

Symbolism: Wisdom restrained by order; ideal for those curbing impulsive passion to achieve mastery.

Aesthetic: Cool violet against metallic grey — calm intellect anchored by gravity.

Lapis Lazuli + Carnelian – The Oracle of Delphi

Story: Apollo’s fiery carnelian energy balanced by Athena’s lapis intellect — prophecy through clarity rather than frenzy.

Symbolism: Vision, eloquence, the courage to speak truth.

Aesthetic: Blue-gold with burnt orange — royal yet earthy, like the Pythia’s robes in flickering torchlight.

Obsidian + Carnelian – The Forge of Hephaestus

• Story: Fire trapped in stone. Carnelian was worn by smiths and soldiers for courage; obsidian born of volcanic glass — creation through heat.

• Symbolism: Transformation through adversity; power tempered by purpose.

• Aesthetic: Deep gloss black with glowing ember orange — masculine, protective, alive.
