Garnet's résumé is as old as the amulet: worn by travelers and warriors across the ancient world, set in signets and reliquaries, and seated in Cunningham's encyclopedia as a projective stone of Mars and Fire, worked for protection, strength, and bodily vigor, the tradition's ember carried against the dark. Hall's references file it at the root chakra, and the combined portfolio is the stone practitioners actually reach for: courage with endurance in it, protection that runs warm rather than cold, the register for long efforts and hard seasons.

The pound serves that register at working scale: garnets anchor protection grids and the altar's fire quarter, weight the courage charm bags packed for hard weeks, ring the red candles of strength workings, and fill the pocket-stone bowl by the door for the household's daily draw. Its shelf conversation with the love bracelet is worth noting: the same Mars fire that guards also desires, and the tradition has always filed garnet under both, passion and protection being, in its reading, the same heat pointed differently.

1. Cleanse the batch by smoke, moonlight, or brief water; garnet is durable.
2. Anchor protection grids and the altar's fire quarter.
3. Pack courage charm bags for the long efforts.
4. Ring red candles for strength and vigor workings.
5. Keep a draw bowl by the door; a pocket garnet is the old travel custom.

Tuesdays, Mars's day, suit its workings; hard weeks suit it best of all.
