In ancient Egypt, carnelian rings were worn to eliminate bad tempers, hatred, jealousy and anger. Back then; the stone was also used to protect the dead during their journey to the afterlife. In Renaissance magic, carnelian was engraved with a picture of a warrior or a sword and placed in the home to protect it from storms.
