Wardite is all about purification and preparation, and influences all chakras as well as the subtle energetic body. It is a stone for our time, not only aiding us in clearing that which isn’t needed, but helping us to recognise what isn’t needed and the reasons behind it, so we become part of the whole story, and take responsibility for who we are and who we will become. Wardite represents the beginning of the process, the coming together of all elements of ourselves and the world around us. At the time of writing it is not comfortable to work with, as our world is so unsettled, and we cannot yet see our place in it. In time it will come into its own, allowing us to see the interconnectedness of everything, multi-dimensionally, while remaining calm and detached.
