Birthstone Meanings

why does a Bloodstone drain me?

Ive been having this problem every time i go into a Wicca store. It is either a Bloodstone or a Green Onyx stone. but either way. After letting go of it i feel drained and tired as hell. and also what what hell do they use in those store to make me feel less empowered. Others walk out happy and energized, yet i feel happy but sleepy.

1. Maybe you're inhaling too much incense.
2. Because it's really Kryptonite. It's only a bloody stone, it is just an inanimate rock with no power whosoever. Get a grip on yourself.
3. Bloodstone is supposed to " strengthens your immune system and keeps it alert and responsive to your body’s needs. Bloodstone’s energy empowers certain microorganisms in your bloodstream that are vital to optimal immune function. This empowerment uplifts the overall quality of your body’s energy, making your body an incompatible environment for infections of all kinds. Bloodstone also removes burdens from your immune system as it facilitates the removal of toxins and enhances your cells’ absorption of nutrients." Green Onynx is supposed to "Heals karmic obstructions, clearing the path for growth and movement. Fosters achievement, manifests spiritual growth on the earth plane. Heals confusion or resistance to one's life agreements, creates forward progress. Supports painful knees." That's really weird, most people are empowered and better. I'm confused though. Is it by holding a stone or standing in the store? If it's from being in the store, my best guess is that the vibrations and feelings in the air are off-kilter with your aura, draining you. Hence, being there makes you feel drained. That's my best guess, and the stone is making you happy but can't energize you. Otherwise, you may simply be allergic to the stone.
4. "Happy but sleepy" sounds like you may be taking in so much energy that it's overwhelming. Sort of like eating a really big, delicious meal, then getting tired because your body has to digest it all. I would suggest shielding yourself from some of that energy so that you can remain balanced. Grounding may also be helpful: http://castacircle.com/blog/?p=13 (Note: Bloodstones are generally healing stones for impurities in the blood. I'm not familiar with green onyx, but the normal black onyx is also a very healing stone. Both have a lot of energy.)
5. Since bloodstone is used to draw out impurities, an adverse reaction could mean that you are especially toxic. Do you eat a lot of processed and packaged foods or food from fast food restaurants? Unless you have been diagnosed with some type of blood disorder or have reason to suspect one, you may want to look to your diet first as our diets effect us magickally in addition to effecting our more secular selves and this could be a sign for you. If you don't think it is physical, than it could be emotional, or even a combination of the two. Bottled emotions can may our bodies toxic just like processed foods can. The feeling of being drained when you leave a store of that nature could mean that you are either picking up too much energy from the people and/or items (try grounding before and after going in and shielding during) or that there is what is called a psychic vampire (a person who knowingly or unknowingly drains energy from others) in the store. If this happens predominantly in one particular store, it could indicate an employee of that store as they are the ones who would be present on more than one trip to that location.
