I first saw my brother using this crystal. I remember being drawn to it, but also repelled a bit, as though it wasn't what I wanted at the time. I associated it very much with strong masculine/yang energies, which my brother is the archetype of, in my view. He's extremely driven and confident in ways that I'm not. I've envied this in him, but also thought it a serious flaw in his character, that makes him thoughtless in many ways.
I give this background only because I felt that pyrite represented these energies and characteristics. I didn't feel that I needed or wanted them on an emotional level. (Although, rationally, maybe it was exactly what I needed.)
I picked up a 'pyrite moon' at a crystal shop the other day, listening to some inner voice that said I was ready now. It spent a couple of days on my altar, and I picked it up today while studying, as an extra boost to my concentration.
From the moment I picked it up, I felt it was cleansing me. I felt energised in my core, but very calm. I don't know if it has anything to do with the crystal, but my cat moved away from the study table (which is where he sleeps sometimes).
I took it to class, and I was so talkative there... It's not usual for me. It was designed as a tutorial, so interaction is encouraged, but most of the class was quite silent. I was focused, asked questions, and answered them. I must have come across as very studious.
For the first time in what feels like very long, I didn't care what anyone else thought of me. I was even a bit offended that the tutor didn't let me speak when I wasn't finished. After the class, I thought about how this new attitude would have helped me at times when I felt silenced by authority figures.
In sum, it was a truly empowering experience. I'd love to hear about others' experiences with this powerful little stone.
I'm attaching a picture of my 'pyrite moon'. Does anyone know why it's called that?
