Silver, or Moon Metal, is the true metal of Witchcraft and the Occult. Silver's Magical Properties enhance all psychic, supernatural and Occult paranormal aspects.
Its healing properties see its use primarily with the glands, lymphatic system, ducts and in enhancing the production of hormones. It is used extensively in healing magick for those aspects but can be effective for assisting to remedy any bodily or mental problems.
It has the magickal property of diminishing pain, especially around the head and neck and is said to lessen any feelings of nausea that accompany such ailments.
It is a superb conduit and conductor of all energies in both sending and receiving. It is the best connection between the body and any magical, tool, stone or artifact.
As well as conducting energies, Silver can be used like a battery to store energies over short periods and can be imbued with psychic, supernatural or Occult paranormal powers for the duration of a ritual, releasing and conducting them throughout the rite. It is a metal of great protection, both in conducting negative energies away directly or by absorbing dark energies that would otherwise overwhelm and then conducting them safely away. It is an ebb and flow metal that dynamically and continuously works for its wearer's benefit and as a result, needs no cleansing or purifying between uses.
Silver is much used in conducting energies in Love Magic, bring a meeting of souls and minds through the two way connection that it produces.
Due to its powers and properties, Silver is associated with the Moon and all Lunar connections such as Goddesses. The protective qualities of Silver and it's association with the Moon and the night makes it the metal of choice to protect against all dark forces. However, being neutral in terms of magick, it can just as easily be used in dark as well as white magic because during rituals, it takes on the energy alignments of those that use it.
For all forms of magick, Silver has no equal.
Please note, the above relates to external magical properties of Silver only, as the ingestion of metals can be injurious to health and even prove fatal.
