Rubies, Sapphires and the Feminine and Masculine Rays

February 10, 2010 | Comments | Birthstones, Gemstone Jewelry, Gemstone Meanings, Healing Crystals

In the readings I have given of late, I have noticed a theme emerging–that of the mysteries of women priestesses, references of priests and rubies have been called for, the Sirian High Council. I most wholeheartedly recommend the books by Jesse Ayani which speaks directly about such things. “The Lineage of the Codes of Light” speaks about sapphires, Ascended Masters, Starseed, priestesses, and the feminine mysteries through the ages from Egypt to the Incas of the present day. The counterpart book to this is the “Brotherhood of the Magi” by the same author. Rubies, Ascended Masters, Starseed, priests and the masculine mission of protecting the priestesses and the Codes of Light are revealed in this book. I read the “Lineage of the Codes of Light” first and was so intrigued to follow the stories of these amazing women. But in reading the “Brotherhood of the Magi”, I am so impressed to read about how the Magi can use their love in very powerful way. One example is how they are able to communicate with animals, etc. I’m impressed because in terms of Ascension, we are all bringing forth working from our Heart energy instead of our intellect. By bringing forth our heart energy, we are more aligned with Source and the Unity of All. This book gives some excellent examples of the power and beauty of these men working from their heart energy! It models how to work from the heart and again how powerful it is to be connected to the Unity of All. Truly inspiring!

Both books point to how the Codes of Light and the Mission of the Magi are necessary for the upcoming Ascension of 2012. In my knowledge of the Ascended Masters and the Divine Masculine and Feminine Rays, the Sapphire Ray reflects the Masculine Ray and the Ruby Ray reflects the Feminine. In Jesse Ayani’s books the priestesses hold the sapphires and the priests hold the rubies. This is perfect, as the combination of the two rays are in held in perfect harmony and balance if one gender carries the stones, or “rays” of the opposite gender.

BIRTHSTONES

When identifying a birthstone, most people in the U.S. seem to know theirs and I venture to say that they are probably using Hallmark’s listing of popular birthstones. [1]

Generally, the Hallmark list conforms mostly to the “Modern” list which is the most current and widely used designation in America, Australia and Thailand. In 1912, the Jewelers of America put together the “Modern” list. [2]

The “Traditional” list reflects Polish preferences of the 15^th century as the wearing of birthstones became very popular then. Before this time, jeweler’s lists were often inconsistent from country to country, and primarily based upon popularity in the older societies. [3]

Over the centuries, astrologers assigned gems of a certain color to the twelve signs of the “Zodiac” to help people influence the planets in their favor.[4] It is important to point out here also that the Zodiac breaks the month up a bit and many times the dates of a Zodiac sign do not neatly correspond to the 30-day month of a calendar.

Then there is the “Mystical” list which is of Tibetan origin (over 1000 years old) and “Ayurvedic” list which is from India and based upon it medicine and philosophies (over 1500 years old).

Therefore, as you can see, there are varying systems to designate birthstone gemstones. I hope these lists help you as you try to find the gems most suited to you or your friends and family.
