Violet is the color of the crown.
Transcendence · Spiritual Connection · Transformation · The Crown
Violet is where life becomes light.
It is the color at the very edge of what the human eye can see.
The last frequency before the visible becomes the invisible.
Violet does not hold on. Violet releases.
In the spectrum of light, violet carries the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency visible to the human eye.
The color closest to ultraviolet, the frequencies beyond ordinary perception, to the light that exists whether or not we can see it.
In the body, violet governs the crown chakra.
The seat of spiritual connection, the place where the individual self opens into something larger than itself, where the personal becomes the universal.
Across traditions
Violet has been understood as the color of royalty. The sacred. The divine that descends into the human world.
In Roman and Byzantine tradition, Tyrian purple, extracted from sea snails at extraordinary cost, was reserved for emperors and high priests.
To wear violet was to carry the authority of the divine on earth.
In Christian tradition, violet is the color of Advent and Lent, the seasons of waiting, of preparation.
The self made ready to receive what is coming.
In Vedic tradition, violet is associated with Sahasrara.
The thousand-petaled lotus at the crown.
The center of pure consciousness.
The place where the individual dissolves into the infinite.
Violet stones carry the energy of Neptune and the Moon.
Transcendence, spiritual clarity, transformation,
The luminous, open awareness of a self that has stopped defending its edges.
To choose a violet stone is to choose to open. To release. To let the light in from above.
Stones of Violet
Amethyst, lepidolite, sugilite, and violet fluorite.
Each carries the frequency of violet in its own register.
From the gentle, calming spiritual clarity of amethyst to the deep, transformative mystery of sugilite.
To work with a violet stone is to remember that you are not only a body.
You are also light.
