Roman Purple Amethyst Fate Seal 100's BCE
Roman Purple Amethyst Fate Seal 100's BCE
(January 12, 2025) This seal, meant to be placed in a ring, is made from purple amethyst which has always been the color of magic (spiritual focus). The top shows the sky-dome probably representing the night sky in this case. The bottom crescent seems to represent the dark under-dome and the home of the fate goddess Kate/Hekate. The swords indicate death.
Its date is inferred from its artistic style.

Translation of Purple Amethyst Omen Sealing
(January 12, 2026) Pressing the purple seal into clay produces this image. The letters are Latin as is the writing direction. Yet these letters do not form any known Latin abbreviation. Therefore, the text is most likely Druid Akkadian which would have been seen by the Romans as the language of magic. The inscription then is:
Tu Ya
LeYu
(Capital letters on object. Small letters are inferred inner vowels. Verbs are italic bold. Dual use letters are E/H, I/Y, U/W, and '/A in which vowel appears at beginning of words)
which means in English
Don't do astrology-magic
for fate.
Comment: In runic texts, astrology magic was used to shift fate. The goddesses of fate was Kate/Hekate who represented the underworld where souls resided until reincarnated. She was thus the goddess of life and death.
