Gemstone associated with this sign:Jasper
The Reed gemstone is the Jasper,also known as the Supreme Nurturer.The gem was once believed to drive away evil spirits and offer protection from the bites of snakes and spiders.Jasper has been a valued stone since the earliest days of mankind, particularly since it lent itself so suitably for carving.Seals were often fashioned from Jasper and it was the chosen jewel for the Emperor of China's personal such emblem. To the Assyrians,the red Jasper was especially treasured since it was said to bring everlasting protection and offer medicinal properties.In the 4th century Jasper was known as the "great rain bringer".It served as a reminder that an individual was not on the physical plane merely for himself or herself,but to also bring joy and substance to others and assist in releasing the bonds of constraint.Jasper was used by the Native American shamans to provide protection during their journeys in to the Spirit Worlds,being believed to protect against negativity and aid in grounding and individual to the stabilizing energy of the Earth.Red Jasper was once engraved with images of Lions or Archers and carried to guard agaisnt poison and to cure fever. Many carvings of Jasper have been found in Egyptian tombs and parts of the Book of the Dead have been inscribed on tablets made from this stone.There are many references to Jasper in the Bible and it was one of the 12 sacred stones in the Breastplate of the High Priest.One of history's most exceptional Jaspers was etched with the profile of Louis XVI of France and displayed a blood red steak across his throat.This symbolism,King Louis eventually meeting his death by execution at the guillotine during the French Revolution,made it a gemstone of rare worth. Traditionally,the Jasper was employed in defensive magick,because it was said to return negativity to the original sender.
Flower associated with this sign:Water-Mint.It is common in the British Isles and Northern Europe.It bears a perfume similarly to that of the Bergamot Orange.When crushed,it produces a highly aromatic and minty scent.It was closely linked to the Celtic guardians of sacred springs and streams and was used in the Middle Ages as a strewing herb.
Celestial Body:the celestial body associated with the Reed,is the planet Pluto(Pwyll),Roman God and ruler of the Dark Underworld.
Deity:Arawen or Arawn,King of the Underworld,also known as King of Hell.His name means silver tongued.Like most Gods of the Otherworld,Arawen was a master hunter who rode a pale horse,followed by a pack of white,red eared hounds.The traditional purpose of this hunt was to gather souls for the Otherworld...assuming the quarry did not prove to be clever enough to evade the chase.According to legend,domestic pigs did not arrive in Britain until they were presented as a gift to Pryderi by Arawen. Also associated with the Reed is Pwyll,Prince of Dyfed(Wales).Strongly associated with the Underworld,he was given 'the Stone",one of 4 treasures for safekeeping. The stone symbolized the right of monarchs to possess divine power.
Animals:white hound,a title of honor for Celtic Chieftians and representative of the dogs which guarded the lunar mysteries.Hounds in general symbolized enduring loyalty.
The Owl-these birds were msot often associated with the Crone aspect of the Goddess.the Owl was often considered a guide to and through the Underworld,being a creature of keen sight in darkness and a swiftly silent hunter.The Owl could help unmask those bent on deception or seeking to take advantage.An Owk before a gateway was once said to be representative of the transformation of the soul.

October 28-Nov 11
Those born on these dates,also fall under the lesser influence of a secondary tree...the Walnut.Walnut individuals are unrelenting,considered somewhat strange by many and full of contrasts.Often egotistical,Walnuts are agressive and noble with a broad horizon.They are unexpected and spontaneous in their reactions,with little or no flexibility.Walnut people possess unlimited ambition and can make for difficult and uncommon partners.Not always liked,but often admired,the Walnut individual is an ingenious strategist,wo is very jealous and passionate by nature and rarely given to compromise.These people will accept and endure a multitude of troubles in order to satisfy the desire for pleasure.An uncompromising character,the Walnut individual will undertake a project with inexhaustable perseverance and once in love,tends to love until death.
There are 2 distinct types of individuals,the new moon character and the full moon character.You fall under the new moon.The new moon Reed individual makes both powerful frinds and powerful enemies,given his or her initial response of impatience and impulsiveness.Even so,such people will usually maintain their positions of powes and achieve a great deal of respect,particularly from their adversaries.In general, Reed individuals are imaginative with a clear view of complex matters.They make for powerful friends but can also be powerfully jealous....a jealousy which is prone to turn to violence if not held in careful check.reed people constantly strive for complete power both within,as well as without.They are wonderful leaders but often fall victim to the "Peter Pan" syndrome.They make for immensly caring and passionate mates as long as their jealous streak can be kept under control.Reed people are usually the catalysts of life rather than the competitors,beig more concerned with changing the entire formula of life instead of simply certain aspects.They are known as the great survivors of life,but often meet with the hostility of others rather than the offer of a helping hand.It is necessary for Reed individuals to unite a sense of purpose with their strong will in order to prevent a path toward self-destruction. Sometimes, referred to as the Duality of the Ivy,Reed individuals are complex,tenacious and fearless.Proud and independent,they have great strength of character,and will rarely compromise,believing they have a role to play which excludes any signs of weakness or the luxury of "sitting on the fence".Reed people are forcefull and thrive on challenges,holding an innate belief in their own destiny.Possessed with a powerful presence and a great deal of personal magnetism,Reed individuals attract most people but tend to repel the overly sensitive.Theya re neve found lacking in the ability to surmount even the most overwhelming odds.Due to their power, however, they must follow a narrow line of virtuous morals.If that line is strayed from,they can become very dangerous people.
