The first Epsilon Solar Storm heads for South Africa tomorrow... it is the first Juma version in the world and I'm very grateful to Nicholas Foo the mod maker for putting in the extra hours to finish my mod in time for me to take it to Stuttgart!
Each SolarStorm, Nicholas gives a special name to depending on the looks and wood etc... Mine is called Ryūjin which is a Japanese mythical character…
Ryūjin or Ryōjin (龍神 "dragon god"), which in some traditions is equivalent to Ōwatatsumi, was the tutelary deity of the sea in Japanese mythology. This Japanese dragon symbolized the power of the ocean, had a large mouth, and was able to transform into a human shape. Ryūjin lived in Ryūgū-jō, his palace under the sea built out of red and white coral, from where he controlled the tides with magical tide jewels. Sea turtles, fish and jellyfish are often depicted as Ryūjin's servants.
Ryūjin was the father of the beautiful goddess Otohime who married the hunter prince Hoori. The first Emperor of Japan, Emperor Jimmu, is said to have been a grandson of Otohime and Hoori's. Thus, Ryūjin is said to be one of the ancestors of the Japanese imperial dynasty.
The fire button is made from a semi-precious stone and here is the story on Labradorite.
Labradorite
The Magician
Have a case of the blahs? Discover the magic of your spirit and its connection to the universe with Labradorite, the best stone for fighting off an existential crisis. A rock star of mystical lore and ancient legends, the Labradorite crystal meaning can be traced back to the native peoples of icy Canada that believed the stone was created from frozen fire, a result of the northern lights. With its pearly hues that shimmer in a range of iridescent blues and greens, the Labradorite crystal reminds us to keep it magical by linking us to the spirit world, a dimension where anything is possible. Other stones keep us anchored to the earth with their powerful grounding effects while Labradorite encourages us to keep our head in the clouds.
Labradorite Meaning & Healing Properties
Expand your spiritual awareness with a healing layout designed to access the magic of the Labradorite crystal stone. Hold a stone in each hand and feel your consciousness expanding while a piece of Smoky Quartz placed between the feet helps keep you firmly grounded to the Earth.
If you're in the mood to wax philosophical, grab your Labradorite crystal stone and reach for the stars in your quest for a higher consciousness. It might seem like everyday realness down here on planet earth, but the Labradorite crystal stone meaning gives you a pathway that bridges the gap between the heavens and physical reality. The Labradorite meaning is associated with shamanism, the ancient form of spirituality where healing is achieved in parallel planes of existence and different states of consciousness.
German writer and philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said, "Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen." In other words, magic is more than pulling a rabbit out of a hat. It's about finding your life purpose, which gives you a sense of meaning and makes everything even more illuminated in your universe.
If Labradorite has found its way into your gemstone collection, it could be a sign that you're in need of a spiritual facelift. Labradorite awakens you to this deep inner consciousness, a world where your creativity has infinite possibilities. Labradorite invites you to go down the rabbit hole, and the deeper you go the weirder it gets. But that's a good thing. That means you'll have lots of adventures, especially when you gain the confidence from Labradorite to dance to the beat of your own drum.
And now may I present my Epsilon Solar Storm called Ryōjin!
