History

Brass is an alloy, or mixture, of Copper and Zinc that was discovered after the Bronze Age, probably because Zinc is not easy to refine.

Brass is rarely found naturally except in Siberia, Russia, and because of that, it may one day be classified as a mineral—as long as it can be found in some quantity and is different from other copper and zinc mixtures.

Brass links us with our past. It can greatly enhance the recall of many past lives and the frequency can assist you with healing those lives or dealing with unfinished business.

Cayce Uses

Cayce primarily referenced brass as it related to the advancements of several early civilizations including Atlantis and Egypt and during biblical times. He also made several mentions of “sounding brass,” which could be referring to Corinthians in the Bible.

Biblical References

Brass is mentioned several times in the Bible; however, in the New International Version, it is replaced with the word copper. In the time of the King James translation, brass was a popular material; in biblical times, however, copper would most likely have been the metal used, because brass was not around then.
