Merlinite can part the veils between the visible and invisible worlds, opening the doors to deeper intuitive abilities. It can facilitate opening the dormant areas of the mind and increases sensitivity to the communications of the subtle realms, allowing one to "talk" with plant and animal spirits, and devic entities. One of Merlinite's key qualities is that of bringing the exiled parts of oneself back into the light of consciousness. This often difficult passage can lead to the true mystic union, which brings the self into wholeness and allows the unity of self and World.
