Alabaster – Numerology and Homeopathic Gemstone Remedies

By Giovanna Franklin

Today is another day that links us to the Moon: the number is 11, which is reduced to number 2.

In the realm of spiritual symbolism, few materials hold as much significance as alabaster. Derived from the Latin word “alabastrum,” meaning “vessel of perfume,” alabaster has long captivated the imaginations of artists, architects, and spiritual seekers alike. With its ethereal beauty and delicate translucence, alabaster has become a powerful symbol of purity, transformation, and spiritual connection.

The use of alabaster can be traced back thousands of years to ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece. Its unique qualities and aesthetic appeal made it a prized material for art and architecture.

In Egypt, alabaster was highly regarded and often associated with divinity. It was used to create stunning statues, vessels, and decorative objects for both religious and secular purposes. The Egyptians believed that alabaster had protective and purifying properties, and it was often used in funerary rituals to ensure a smooth transition into the afterlife.

One of alabaster’s most prominent spiritual meanings is its representation of purity and innocence. Just as the translucent white hue of alabaster conveys a sense of pristine beauty, it also symbolizes the untainted nature of the soul. In many spiritual traditions, alabaster is believed to cleanse and purify the spirit, washing away negativity and impurities that hinder personal growth.

The purity and innocence of alabaster invite individuals to embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual transformation. By embracing the energy of alabaster, one can shed the weight of past mistakes and embrace a renewed sense of inner peace and harmony.

Alabaster also carries a profound symbolism of transformation and renewal. Just as the stone itself can be carved and shaped into magnificent sculptures, it serves as a metaphor for the transformative power within each individual. The smooth, malleable nature of alabaster encourages individuals to embrace change and embark on a journey of self-improvement.
