TOURMALINE QUARTZ + "HAY FROM THE BED OF THE VIRGIN MARY"

ANCIENT PROTECTION FOR PEOPLE AND PLACES

📜 Historical Origin

In Nordic folk magic, the so-called “Hay from the Bed of the Virgin Mary” was a traditional method for dispelling witchcraft and curses from small children, although its protective power was believed to be effective for people of all ages.

Inspired by a formula documented around 1750 in Fron (Gudbrandsdal, Norway) and recorded by Anton Bang, this remedy combined Christian symbolism with the practices of rural magic. It was believed that the Virgin Mary’s bed was made of hay —the dried stalks of cereals such as wheat or oats— mixed with lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), known as the “joy of the heart.” This plant, a symbol of serenity, abundance, and well-being, together with the comforting aroma of hay, acted as an energetic shield against all negative influences.

💎 The Power of Tourmalinated Quartz

Tourmalinated quartz is a unique natural stone in which two minerals with complementary forces unite:

• Clear Quartz: amplifies energy, raises personal vibration, and acts as a spiritual purifier, clearing blockages and bringing mental clarity.
• Black Tourmaline (Lyncurium): one of the most powerful protective stones, capable of neutralizing negative energies, dispelling psychic attacks, and acting as a barrier against harmful influences. Alchemists attributed to this stone—known as Lyncurium—the power to attract gold.

When both minerals merge naturally, the result is a gem that not only repels negativity but transforms it into positive energy. The pendant, set in silver, is a unique and living piece, with unrepeatable veins and patterns that reflect the union of light and protection.

In this set you have two magical guardians:

• Tourmalinated Quartz and Silver Pendant: a personal talisman that cleanses, protects, and strengthens you every time you wear it.
• Bundle of Hay, Lemon Balm, and Black Tourmaline: a home talisman that keeps dark influences away.

🔮 Usage Ritual

• Place the bundle in your room, near the door, on your altar, or under your mattress.
• Wear the pendant when you need to reinforce your personal protection or face heavy environments.
• Use them together or separately to create an energetic shield for both your space and yourself
