Shiva Lingam is a sacred stone named after Lord Shiva, who dances the universe into existence. It symbolizes the union of the Hindu gods Shiva and Kali; as such, this stone has united masculine and feminine energies for thousands of years. As a stone of fertility and enlightenment, it awakens attraction within its carriers, as well as fecundity in all parts of life. Shiva Lingam can also awaken the Kundalini energies necessary for self-transformation, eliminating past pains and helping one place trust in their spirit.
