GEMSTONE MAGIC & MEANING: AQUAMARINE
Aquamarine has long been known to have a deep connection to the ocean. In fact, the name “aquamarine” is derived from the Latin word for seawater (aqua marina, “water of the sea”).
Metaphysical properties of Aquamarine
This stone ranges from a sea-green to a soft powder blue, and is believed to enhance clarity of perception and eyesight, flow of creativity, inspiration and intuition. It is calming, soothing, and cleansing, and inspires truth, trust, and letting go. Connected with the throat chakra, aquamarine can help the bearer overcome fear of speaking, as it opens the channels of clear and heartfelt communication.
Aquamarine in folklore
Folklore says that aquamarine was first found in the treasure chest of mermaids. Since then, aquamarine has been considered to be a sailor’s lucky stone, believing it would be protection for them on water. As well as protecting those who journey by sea (and alleviating seasickness or the fear of water), it guards those involved in any long-haul travel such as flying or driving long distances.
A protective talisman
Aquamarine becomes a particularly potent talisman when it is immersed in water, and if one works with it in this way in moonlight, it offers powerful assistance in opening the third eye. This way of working with aquamarine leads it to sometimes be known as the stone of the sea witch, as more than any other gemstone it is purported to open the doors to strong oceanic magic for those who are inclined towards sea-centered mysticism. Even for the non-witch, aquamarine is believed to open consciousness, releasing wisdom and creativity. It has a calming effect, and thus is noted for increasing courage and fortitude. It inspires the judgmental to be more tolerant, and helps cut through confusion and overwhelm to find kind compromise. As a love stone, Aquamarine can help two people with different lifestyles to live together in harmony, and reduces the effects of sensitive issues that cause quarrels. Aquamarine is often given as a love token or eternity ring, and increases commitment and fidelity “as long as the waters of the earth flow.”

Ivy has a rich Pagan history, being associated with Dionysus/Bacchus, as the Bacchanals would become intoxicated from consuming it, seeking both visions and frenzy. Ivy has the magical capacity to both bring about intoxication and trance, if consumed, and to potentially help prevent these effects, when worn as a crown or carved into goblets as a symbol, according to the lore. It was also sacred to the Druids. At Yule, it can be used for divinatory sight. As a result of these associations, it was removed by the Christian Church from its proper place within the rituals of Yule or Christmas, because of fear of magic. Its later use became as a protection against witches, planted to grow along houses and on walls, so that witches could not enter. This comes from the idea that Ivy protects against negativity (as well as lightening). Ivy was used in spells for divining health and love, for communicating with spirits, in love binding spells, in protection magic, in luck charms, and in bringing death to something, as well as in other forms of cursing. Yet, today it is known as a commonplace invasive or ornamental plant. I’m feeling the parallel with the story of Malinalli. Ivy tends to send its roots down into the earth wherever it is able to touch the ground, and as most know it has the uncanny ability to climb and persevere in many settings. This all makes a kind of poetic sense, especially as the plant who gave its name to the original sorceress and keeper of earth based magical knowledge

Reviews for "Bolt's Hilarious Bloopers: The Funniest Moments from the Corpus Christi Hooks Mascot"
1. John - 2 stars - I have to admit, the Corpus Christi Hooks mascot, Bolt, was a huge disappointment for me. Firstly, the costume itself looked cheap and poorly made. It lacked the attention to detail and creativity that you expect from a professional sports team. Secondly, Bolt's interactions with the crowd were lackluster at best. He seemed disinterested and barely made an effort to engage with the fans. Overall, I was not impressed with the Corpus Christi Hooks mascot, Bolt.
2. Sarah - 1 star - As a lifelong fan of the Corpus Christi Hooks, I was excited to see their new mascot, Bolt, in action. However, I was left thoroughly disappointed. Bolt's costume was shabby and outdated, and it was evident that little effort was put into its design. Furthermore, his behavior during games was lackluster and uninspiring. He hardly interacted with the fans and failed to create a lively atmosphere in the stands. In my opinion, the Corpus Christi Hooks should consider reimagining their mascot to better represent the spirit and energy of the team and its fans.
