I'm closing my blog Caribbean Kigo Kukai

I'll be introducing a new meme - a Monday meme, not here, but, at my blog 'verses' from Monday February 16th 2015, i invite you all to stop over any Monday


I'm coughing so much, and though i'm medicating, just have to let it run its course. Still its Valentines Day; wishes to all for much love in your lives


Have a nice Saturday, its Carnival Saturday here, and though i poem the Carnival i don't practice, have been out of it a long time now; you can revisit and view some photos i took of a carnival 2010, band passing through St James.

photo of my amethyst, i wear it on a silver chain or sometimes a thin cord.

February is here!!! month of lovers, my birthday, this year's Carnival here in T&T and, the amethyst. Lets ponder again today the amethyst.

The most popular myth about amethyst comes from ancient Greece. Dionysus was pursuing a mortal woman named Amethystas. Amethystas, well aware that she was being pursued by a god known for his virility, prayed to the goddess Artemis, a virgin goddess. Artemis, taking pity on the girl who wished to keep her chastity, turned her into stone. Dionysus, seeing that the girl of his affections was now a block of quartz crystal wept tears of wine over her, which turned the stone purple. In Medieval tradition it cured everything from insomnia to headaches and in later times was thought to bring peace to those who suffered distresses of the mind. In almost every culture, from ancient Grecians to modern day New Age beliefs, it is thought that those who wear amethyst are more amiable and gentle than they would be otherwise...read more here
