ATTRIBUTES
Sulphur has a negative electrical charge and is extremely useful for absorbing
negative energies, emanations, and emotions. Placed in the environment,
it absorbs negativity of any kind and removes barriers to progress.
Volcanically produced, this is an excellent stone for anything that erupts:
feelings, violence, skin conditions, and fevers. It can also be useful for
bringing latent psychic abilities to the surface
Psychologically, Sulphur ameliorates willfulness and aids in identifying
negative traits within the personality. It reaches the rebellious, stubborn,
or obstreperous part of a personality that willfully disobeys instructions
and tends automatically to do the opposite of whatever is suggested, especially
when this is "for your own good." Sulphur softens this position
and assists the recognition of the effect, opening the way to conscious
change.
Mentally, Sulphur blocks repetitive and distracting thought patterns. Inspiring
the imagination, it aids reasoning and grounds thought processes in the
practical here and now.
Physically, Sulphur is helpful in reenergizing after exhaustion or serious
illness and can enhance creativity.
Sulphur is toxic and should not be taken internally. The gem elixir is best
made with the crystalline form by the indirect method and applied externally
only.
HEALING
Sulphur is extremely useful for conditions that flare up, such as infections
and fevers. Placed over the site of the swelling, it reduces fibrous and
tissue growths. Placed in the bathwater, or as an essence,
Sulphur alleviates painful swellings and joint problems. It can be applied
externally to heal skin conditions. Powdered sulphur can be used as a natural
insecticide fumigant, but it is toxic to humans and a mask should be worn
to avoid breathing the fumes. Ventilate the area thoroughly afterward.
POSITION
Place or hold as appropriate (the crystalline form is better for this, as
the powdery form is messy and best kept for bathwater or environmental use.)
It is traditional that Sulphur that has been placed over growths be buried
afterward. If not, thoroughly cleanse before reusing. Burn powdered Sulphur
to fumigate (wear a mask.) Make the elixir by the indirect method and use
externally only.
