PURPLE

THIS WANDERING SOUL

THE COLOR PURPLE

“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.”

(I'll let you guess what that's from...)

I have always been attracted to the color purple. I would go so far as to say it is one of my favorite colors. And turquiose.

Lately though, it has been jumping out at me in a big way. Maybe there is a message...maybe not. Here are some pictures I found and some interesting information along the way.

AMETHYST

Metaphysical Properties of Amethyst

Amethyst is a stone steeped in ancient magic. The name is derived from a Greek word meaning "not to intoxicate".

Amethyst is associated with water.  Energies seem to flow easily through it. It is a wonderful meditation and healing mineral.

It is a great stone to use if you are trying to increase your psychic abilities and enhance you intuition.

Amethyst is said to aid in bringing serenity, calming ones mind and gaining inner peace. It has long been a symbol of many religious for peace, purity and unification. It has been noted as containing a peace that was known before birth. It is easy to see why it is one of the most popular metaphysical stones.

PURPLE HAZE

Could refer to this:-

but more likely this

“Purple Haze is actually a glorified term that was adapted from the Jimi Hendrix song, which most believe was created about the "brand" of super potent LSD created by Owsley Stanley.[1] Stanley called this batch of LSD "Monterey Purple" in anticipation of the pending Monterey Pop Festival at which Hendrix reportedly consumed the drug prior to going onstage. One reader recalls that according to a Rolling Stone Magazine article about the Monterey Pop Festival (published circa late 1980s), much of the festival audience was also high on Monterey Purple acid. The same article reported that Owsley had his people stationed at the entry gates holding huge jars filled with the purple tabs, inviting festival-goers to take handfuls.”

TYRIAN/PHONECIAN PURPLE

Purple was a symbol of power, and, above all, wealth. An ounce of good purple dye would cost many times more than a pound of gold. The Phoenicians had long ago given up their secret of how to make "Tryian Purple", but that didn't lower the cost: it still took more than ten thousand Murex mollusks to make one raw wool toga into a purple "toga picta". Someone had to know where the right varieties of Murex were found and had to dredge the spiny shellfish from the sea, and then they had beat and break them with iron bars -- also dangerous work in the days before safety goggles. Then, after the slimy mess sat in the sun for several hours to let the color mature, someone had to wade into the now stinking mess to sop up the ooze and then dry it out.

  The ancient world had much to thank Tyre for. The Greek attributed the
  introduction of the alphabet to their country Cadmus, the son of a Tyrian king.
  The name of the continent if said to come  from Europa, the sister of Cadmus.
      But it was Tyre's purple-dyed textiles, worn throughout the ancient world as a
  mark of royal rank, that brought fame and fortune to the city. One gram of pure
  purple dye was worth ten or twenty grams of gold, so it is not surprising that some of
  the beautiful sarcophagi of the necropolis belonged to wealthy purple dye
  manufactures of Tyre.
      The ancient Tyrians extracted the dye from the Murex, a marine snail that still lives
  along Tyre's shores deep among the rocks and sunken archeological remains. Dye
  extraction is no longer a viable commercial venture, but scientists have documented
  the process for historical purposes.
