Hold these two stones together in your hand so that they are touching </div> <div> while chanting the following:</div> <div> Stones of power, stones of might, </div> <div> Love each other day and night. </div> <div> Guard each other in the rain, </div> <div> Until the sun will shine again. </div> <div> Stones of power, stones of might, </div> <div> Bring me love if it be right.</div> <div> Repeat the chant as many times as you like and when you are done place the two </div> <div> stones inside a box to be put away where it will not be disturbed. It is important to </div> <div> make sure that the stones are still touching when they are inside the box.</div> <div> HEALING WATER-HOLED STONES</div> <div> Take a holed stone (naturally holed stones often found in or beside running water or the ocean) </div> <div> and put it in a vessel of clear water. Remove it and the water is possessed of healing vibrations </div> <div> which can be used in healing baths, to anoint a healing charm, and so on. Perform this </div> <div> on the New, waxing, or full moon with the focus on healing and getting better. Place the </div> <div> bowl of water with stone out under the moon to collect Her energies and blessings. </div> <div> Say something along to lines of: </div> <div> Lady Luna, Bless this water with your healing energies. </div> <div> Then leave it outside under the light of the moon for nine minutes, nine being a healing number. </div> <div> You might also sit before the water and meditate over it, collecting and projecting healing energies into it. </div> <div> Then bring it indoors, store it in a glass container such as a mason jar and use. </div> <div> You could also drop a bit of blue food coloring into it and keep it in a vial to carry as a talisman. </div> <div> Use some of it in bathing waters along with a healing herb or oil. </div> <div> You could also anoint your forehead with it or afflicted are and then go deep into a </div> <div> meditative state concentrating on healing the disease/illness/problem.</div> <div> HEMATITE HEALING SPELL </div> <div> Hold a Hematite stone, feel it's vibrations and channel healing energy into the stone. Chant: </div> <div> Stone of Hematite </div> <div> Stone so black </div> <div> Give me the healing energy </div> <div> That I lack </div> <div> Stone of Hematite </div> <div> Stone of Hematite </div> <div> Heal me now </div> <div> With the speed of light!</div> <div> CLEAR AWAY THE OLD WITH CRYSTALS</div> <div> There are many aspects of our lives which we would like to improve, but we just can't </div> <div> muster up the willpower. In your time of need, a crystal can come to your aid.</div> <div> You can program a crystal to help you lose weight stop smoking or overcome any negative </div> <div> attitudes about yourself. For example, you want to stop eating chocolate but just can't. </div> <div> You know you should stop for health reasons but you don't have the will power. </div> <div> Try programming a crystal by telling it something like, </div> <div> "I have completely lost any desire for chocolate."</div> <div> Wear the crystal around your neck or keep it in a pocket. </div> <div> Whenever you want chocolate, touch your crystal and feel the urge dissipate.</div> <div> To get the most out of your crystal, you need to get the right crystal in the first place. </div> <div> Pick a crystal by attraction, by being drawn to touch it, and then hold it loosely in your left hand. </div> <div> Notice the impressions, colors, sounds, and feelings you pick up. No two crystals are the same. </div> <div> Each crystal has its own unique vibration, and each will resonate differently. It should feel alive in </div> <div> your hand, vibrate, or radiate. In other words, it should feel good.</div> <div> Before you use your crystals cleanse it. The easiest way to clean your crystal is to hold it in </div> <div> the bright sunlight and order it to be completely cleansed. when, program it with your desired goal. </div> <div> Now, you're ready to enjoy your crystal!</div> <div> STONE OF LUCK</div> <div> You can use the Stone of Luck spell for anything, love, money, health, wealth, spirit awareness, etc. </div> <div> The key to this empowerment is concentration and belief. </div> <div> When you have completed this spell, carry the stone around with you. </div> <div> Eventually you will start to get what you want. </div> <div> What you need:</div> <div> 1 Small stone of your choice (any kind) 1 candle (correct color for what you want)</div> <div> Appropriate herbs Appropriate incense Salt Water A cloth </div> <div> Oil (either olive, jasmine, or mint) Some bowls (glass or crystal) </div> <div> First you need to meditate on what you want, be it money, love, better health....whatever you want. </div> <div> After you feel you have meditated long enough, you may start the spell.</div> <div> Light the candle and incense. (Be sure you have all of the things you need with you.) </div> <div> Hold the rock in your power hand. Concentrate on what you want.</div> <div> Run the rock through the flame 3 times. Then put it into the water.</div> <div> Cup your hands over the bowl. Then take the rock out of the water and sprinkle the herbs on it. </div> <div> After you have done that, put the rock into a dry bowl. Visualize yourself getting what you want. </div> <div> Then anoint the rock with the oil and put the rock back into the dry bowl. </div> <div> Sprinkle some salt onto the rock. Concentrate more. </div> <div> Then wrap the rock in the cloth and leave it for at least 24 hours.</div> <div> Let the candle and incense burn all the way out. Dispose of the water. </div> <div> So mote it be!</div> <div> ROSE QUARTZ GARNET AND CARNELIAN LOVE SPELL</div> <div> Moon phase: Waxing to full </div> <div> You will need: </div> <div> Jasmine Incense or Jasmine Essential Oil </div> <div> Three stones: Rose Quartz, Garnet. Carnelian </div> <div> Candles: 1 red candle, a few beeswax candles (or whatever you have about your home) </div> <div> In you bedroom, open your curtains. </div> <div> If it's warm enough, open your windows and let the moonshine and breezes in. </div> <div> Light some candles around your bedroom and make yourself comfortable on your bed, </div> <div> placing the unlit red candle on your bedside table. </div> <div> Hold the stones in your power hand (the one you write with). </div> <div> Visualize yourself in love; your life enhanced with love, both given and received.</div> <div> What type of partner do you want to share your days with? </div> <div> Don't focus on who you want, rather what you want. </div> <div> Honesty, trust, respect, love. Visualizing yourself with love in your life is a wonderful thing. </div> <div> Charge the three stones with the emotions you generate and your wish to attract love into your life. </div> <div> Set the stones around your red candle. Light your candle and let it burn all the way down. </div> <div> As the candle slowly burns, the energy you charged the stones with is slowly released. </div> <div> Give thanks and close the Circle.</div> <div> MOONSTONE LOVE SPELL</div> <div> Supplies: 2 candles (l pink and 1 white), cinnamon, a moonstone (optional) </div> <div> Place the candles on the alter, the pink one to the left and the white on to the right. </div> <div> Cast a circle and light the candles. If you have a moonstone, place it on the alter. </div> <div> Invite the Goddess to join you, for you will be needing her help.</div> <div> Next, sprinkle the cinnamon in a figure-eight pattern around the two candles.</div> <div> As you sprinkle the cinnamon, speak these words aloud: </div> <div> "Oh Great Goddess of the light, </div> <div> Bring me happiness, true and bright! </div> <div> May a new love so true come to me! </div> <div> So mote it be! Thank the Goddess and close the circle. </div> <div> Either let the candles burn out, or snuff them out. Do not blow the flames out!</div> <div> STONES & METALS USED FOR LUCK</div> <div> ORANGE stones have some of the fire of red but are gentler in their effects. </div> <div> Projective, they have often been seen as symbols of the Sun and are thought </div> <div> to be luck attracting.</div> <div> L-SHAPED stones are thought to bring good fortune, perhaps because this form </div> <div> suggest the conjunction of the spiritual with the physical.</div> <div> They can be carried as good luck pieces or placed on the altar.</div> <div> APACHE TEAR, a globule of translucent obsidian, is carried as a good-luck charm.</div> <div> AVENTURINE is an all-around luck stone.</div> <div> COPPER is a lucky metal, perhaps because of its past solar attributions, and so can </div> <div> be used in combination with any luck-bringing gemstones.</div> <div> LODESTONE is carried in pairs -- one to protect and the other to bring good luck.</div> <div> TIN is carried as a good-luck piece and can be shaped into talismans to attract money.</div> <div> LUCKY SEVEN SPELL</div> <div> Gather 7 small pieces of turquoise. </div> <div> Place the stones under a full moon, to soak up the light for seven hours. </div> <div> Take the stones into your hands, and say: </div> <div> Luck be quick, luck be kind, </div> <div> By lucky seven, good luck be mine. </div> <div> Place stones into green bag, & carry with you wherever you go. </div> <div> Throw a stone into a moving body of water, stating your desire, anytime you feel the </div> <div> need for a little good fortune.</div> <div> MAGNET MAGICK</div> <div> For general healing charge 5 lodestones (magnets) and one blue candle with healing energy. </div> <div> Place the candle into a holder and light it, place the lodestones in a circle </div> <div> around the candle, burn for 15 minutes a day.</div> <div> Also you can sleep with one under your pillow, rub the affected areas, and </div> <div> add a charged magnet to your bath.</div> <div> Magnets are used to draw out the non-physical cause of the pain.</div> <div> If you think you are being attacked from outside you can carry one as an amulet.</div> <div> HEMATITE GROUNDING </div> <div> Hematite is the all-purpose grounding (energy-balancing) stone, not to mention a beautiful ornament. </div> <div> Tell, or charge all your troubles to or into the rock, then put it on the ground overnight, so that the </div> <div> negative energy will soak into the Earth and become neutral.</div> <div> PROTECTION SPELL</div> <div> Charge a small stone of Saturn correspondence to carry with you as a charm of protection- </div> <div> black tourmaline, Apache tears, or snowflake obsidian. Or find any dark colored stone in the </div> <div> earth that feels solid, stable, and strong to you. Find a quiet outdoor place and sprinkle a </div> <div> circle of salt on the ground, large enough for you to sit inside, and hold your chosen stone. </div> <div> Close your eyes; ground and center, drawing Earth energy within you. Visualize rings of </div> <div> energy swirling around the Saturn stone you hold, building and increasing to surround </div> <div> and emanate from you. Within the rings you are strong, solid, secure, and shielded from harm. </div> <div> In the future, whenever you feel the need for extra protection, hold your stone to assist you.</div> <div> CRYSTAL AND CANDLE SPELL</div> <div> Items needed: Basic altar set-up including:</div> <div> --salt and bowl of water, candle in color symbolic of need.</div> <div> Shield, ground, and center. Cast circle. </div> <div> Charge of the Goddess/God.</div> <div> Cleanse crystal by sprinkling with water, then with salt.

Place candle in candleholder, set crystal near it, and light candle.</div> <div> Watch the burning flame and again strongly visualize and chant &/or drum.</div> <div> Allow the candle to burn down.</div> <div> HEALING STONE</div> <div> What you will need: any stone , a green candle and a white one</div> <div> To make the healing stone: take an average stone from your yard or anywhere else </div> <div> (if you have no yard or they all really suck) or you can purchase one like a tiger's eye. </div> <div> Once you've got one cast your circle, call your quarters. </div> <div> Do an alter devotion then cleanse consecrate, and empower it.</div> <div> Instill the flame of a green candle and a white one to empower it with healing magic and purify it. </div> <div> While doing this hold your pentacle over it and say as many healing spells as you know. </div> <div> Then pour holy water on it and you're done.</div> <div> A CRYSTAL SPELL TO INCREASE PHYSICAL VIGOR</div> <div> Ingredients: </div> <div> --A Crystal Some Spring Water A Few Pinches of Salt </div> <div> First purify the crystal by washing it in salt water and then rinsing it. </div> <div> Then hold it in both hands while closing your eyes and imagining yourself filling with the </div> <div> healing energy of the crystal. Imagine yourself bathed in a stream of pure energy which </div> <div> runs from the crystal through your hands and into your body. </div> <div> Sleep with the crystal under your pillow.</div> <div> SIMPLE CRYSTAL HEALING SPELL</div> <div> Needed:</div> <div> --3 candles- 2 light blue & 1 white</div> <div> --Allspice & Rosemary (equal parts each) or a Healing type incense</div> <div> --photo or paper with name of recipient a small quartz crystal</div> <div> Place the candles on your altar or workspace in a semi-circle with the white candle </div> <div> between the two blue ones. Place your incense burner above the white candle. </div> <div> Place the person's name in the center of the layout, with the quartz crystal on top.</div> <div> Light the incense then the candles. Center yourself and inhale the incense as you </div> <div> think of all ill health dispelling from the person and instead being replaced by healing </div> <div> energy, much as the air is filled with the smoke of the incense. </div> <div> Gather your healing energy and when you feel ready, release the energy, directing it </div> <div> through the crystal and to the recipient who's name or photo is beneath it. </div> <div> Give the recipient the crystal to carry as a charm for continued good health.</div> <div> CRYSTAL AND COLOR VISUALIZATION SPELL FOR HEALING</div> <div> Invoke the Goddess and God. Light some candles and herbs of the correct</div> <div> healing property. Place the crystal in between the Goddess and God candle</div> <div> and say:</div> <div> O great goddess</div> <div> Shine your lunar ray of light upon this crystal</div> <div> Great Goddess charge this stone with healing power</div> <div> O great god</div> <div> Shine you solar ray of light upon this crystal</div> <div> Great God empower this stone with your magic light</div> <div> Blessed be</div> <div> Now tough the crystal with your left hand and visualize a Luna and solar ray of </div> <div> light shining down on the crystal. Feel the energies flowing through the stone. </div> <div> Now hold the crystal with its point toward your body with your right hand and visualize </div> <div> a light of the correct healing color radiating from the crystal to the area of you body </div> <div> where you are sick, Imagine the light healing your body. Now point the crystal away </div> <div> from your body and visualize the negative energies moving out of your body through </div> <div> the crystal. This rite is over.</div> <div> TO INCREASE HEALTH AND VITALITY</div> <div> You will need: quartz crystal</div> <div> If you have a piece of quartz, first wash it in warm soapy water and rinse it with running water. </div> <div> Then hold the crystal in both hands. Close your eyes and imagine being bathed in white light. </div> <div> Visualize the area of your illness and point the crystal to that site. Imagine a stream </div> <div> of light flowing from the crystal and bathing the area in its pure rays. </div> <div> Place your crystal under your pillow while you sleep.</div> <div> SIMPLE STONE SPELLS</div> <div> Just as semiprecious and precious stones have been used for a wide variety of magical purposes, </div> <div> so too have plain, ordinary stones. Nothing in nature is without its magical uses. </div> <div> This feature contains minor rituals utilizing any kind of stone you find in your backyard, on the </div> <div> beach or anywhere out in nature. In these spells, use your powers of visualization and </div> <div> concentration to direct the energy through the stones. Here, the rocks are usually focal </div> <div> points or tools that add little power of their own. Some of them are amulets and talismans of a kind. </div> <div> That's not to say that a piece of granite made up of quartz, hornblende and various other </div> <div> minerals doesn't contain its own powers, but such stones lack focused energy. Since this </div> <div> is the kind most needed in magic, it is more difficult to work with them than with amethyst </div> <div> and carnelian. Therefore, in the simple spells that follow, don't worry about which stone to use. </div> <div> Take whatever is at hand.</div> <div> PROTECTION, The Five Pebbles </div> <div> Go to a moving brook or stream. While standing in the water and facing downstream, remove </div> <div> five small pebbles from the stream bed As you do this, visualize your need for protection.</div> <div> As your hand closes over the pebbles, see them beaming out protective energies. Just as the </div> <div> pebbles are hard and have weathered for eons, so too will they strengthen your protective shield.</div> <div> Now carry them at all times for protection. If you wish, place them in a small pouch or a fold of cloth, </div> <div> or incorporate them into some form of jewelry.</div> <div> DIVINATION, Black and White: </div> <div> Spend a few minutes gathering stones. Half should be dark and half of a lighter color. </div> <div> Place them on the ground before you. Ask your question or keep it in mind. </div> <div> Close your eyes and jumble the stones around for a few seconds; then, with your left or </div> <div> receptive hand, remove one of the stones. If you picked a dark stone, the answer is yes </div> <div> or the prospects favorable. If light, no.</div> <div> LOVE, Stone Love Spell:</div> <div> Go to a place that contains many water-worn stones. </div> <div> Look for a large, flat rock while visualizing yourself being involved with the perfect mate.</div> <div> On this rock mark with red ink two intertwined hearts. </div> <div> As you do this, keep the visualization in mind.</div> <div> When you are finished, bury the stone in the earth in an uncultivated place.</div> <div> A STONE-ATTRACTION SPELL</div> <div> Take any stone. Hold it in your projective hand for several minutes while </div> <div> visualizing your need.</div> <div> Flood the stone with your need and with your emotional involvement with your need. </div> <div> Send power out from your body to the stone. Use your visualization to see it streaming into the rock. </div> <div> Then throw the stone into running water. It is done.</div> <div> A STONE-BANISHING SPELL</div> <div> To be rid of diseases, unhealthy habits, hurt feelings and any other disturbing manifestations </div> <div> of life, hold any stone in your projective hand and visualize the problem in detail.</div> <div> Visualize the part of you that is to be banished as entering the stone. See the problem and its </div> <div> causes leaving you and infusing the stone.</div> <div> When you can send no more energy into it, throw the stone onto a hot fire, throwing with it the </div> <div> causes and manifestations of your problem. Stand back the stone may explode.</div> <div> If you have no fire or don't wish to have rocks exploding, throw the stone into the air or into water, </div> <div> thereby releasing the problem causing energy from your body. It is done.</div> <div> TURQUOISE PROTECTION AMULET</div> <div> The ancients regarded turquoise as a powerful magickal aid to ward off misfortune, illness, </div> <div> and the evil eye. You can use turquoise to make your own amulet for protection. </div> <div> To begin, during the waxing Moon take a piece of blue turquoise or an item of blue </div> <div> turquoise jewelry and hold it in your hand for a moment. In your mind's eye, picture a </div> <div> blue light surrounding you. Hold the stone to your heart, and breathe on it to charge it </div> <div> with your power, saying: </div> <div> Stone of blue, surround me with protective energy. </div> <div> I am protected by your soothing blue light. </div> <div> Carry your turquoise with you or wear it as often as you can.</div> <div> Handle it frequently to keep the spell active.</div> <div> BLACK OPAL CHARM</div> <div> The black opal is widely known as the "Witches Stone" and is prized for its magick</div> <div> enhancing properties. To increase your magickal power, charge the stone with the </div> <div> following chant and place it on your altar.</div> <div> "Opal black, of burning fire</div> <div> Add the power that's required</div> <div> To make my magick hit its mark,</div> <div> By light of day, or night so dark."</div> <div> CAIRN MAGICK</div> <div> This is something that can be done, alone, on a walk in the countryside, with no extra </div> <div> magical 'tools' or paraphenalia. It is simple magic and down to earth paganism. It can be </div> <div> applied for any need, but is particularly suitable for 'earthy' needs, such as money, housing, jobs, healing.</div> <div> Take one stone, and speak (or 'think') into it your need. Place the stone firmly on the ground. </div> <div> Take another and repeat, until you have a fair sized mound, or Cairn. As each stone is placed, </div> <div> imagine that the magic is building and that your need is getting nearer to being met.</div> <div> If you have no stones, you can still do this with imaginary stones, or pebbles, or whatever </div> <div> else seems right at the particular moment.</div> <div> CRYSTALS AND GEMSTONES FOR HEALING</div> <div> AGATE - Good for transmutation;

Dispose of the water. </div> <div> So mote it be!</div> <div> Metaphysical Properties of Quartz Crystals</div> <div> HOW CRYSTALS GROW</div> <div> Generally, quartz crystals grow in a hexagonal (six sided) structure, with additional faces </div> <div> sloping towards a point at one end. A crystal with these characteristics is itself also called </div> <div> a POINT. Points may be totally clear and transparent, or they may contain streaks, lines, </div> <div> rainbows, water bubbles or other inclusions. They may also appear cloudy if they have </div> <div> grown in a place where it freezes in the winter. Optical clarity usually has little to do with </div> <div> a crystal's quality and its ability to amplify the subtle energies.</div> <div> WHAT CRYSTALS DO</div> <div> Quartz crystals are a gift from the earth. They have the ability to amplify or strengthen the </div> <div> things in you that are positive, and can help you put away things that cause you fear or anger. </div> <div> They can strengthen your ability to be a loving person, and can enhance your abilities to </div> <div> enjoy life and accomplish the things you want in life. They can amplify INTENTION, reduce </div> <div> stress, help with CENTERING (balancing or calming), strengthen HEALING abilities, and </div> <div> surround you with PROTECTION by amplifying white light. Any healthy quartz crystal point </div> <div> can strengthen these things and help produce personal growth by amplifying the subtle </div> <div> energies that flow inside you.</div> <div> SELECTING A CRYSTAL</div> <div> To select a crystal, first put yourself in a calm space. Hold the crystal in your right hand </div> <div> with the point towards you. Feel it physically. Be open to sensations like TINGLING, or </div> <div> change in temperature. Also feel the crystal emotionally. Think of the purpose you want it </div> <div> for, and see if you feel attracted to it. Be more concerned with how it feels than how it looks.</div> <div> Allow the crystal to pick you by interacting with it in this way. And remember to go with your </div> <div> initial feeling. If you need a specialized type of crystal to work with, consider one of the types </div> <div> described below.</div> <div> CRYSTALS WITH SPECIAL PROPERTIES</div> <div> In addition to the general characteristics mentioned above, quartz crystals sometimes have </div> <div> other special attributes that enhance their power. To identify these special types of crystals, </div> <div> pay particular attention to the largest of the faces that slope toward the point. Does it have </div> <div> pyramids (triangles) on it? Count the number of edges surrounding the face. This number can </div> <div> be anywhere from 3 to 8, and is one of the things that determines the special characteristics </div> <div> of the crystal. In addition to strengthening the Inner Being as all crystals do, the crystals listed </div> <div> below are true teachers and provide additional special help. Most of them are relatively rare, </div> <div> and they should be highly treasured when one of them finds you.</div> <div> CERRIDWEN CRYSTALS </div> <div> have five edges surrounding the largest sloping face. These crystals strongly amplify the </div> <div> feminine energy, and can help you get in touch with the 'female' or unselfish side of yourself, </div> <div> no matter whether you are a man or a woman. These crystals are useful in balancing your </div> <div> male-female energy if the female energy has been suppressed, or if you need a greater </div> <div> balance of female energy for any reason. Cerridwen crystals put you in touch with the </div> <div> power of the Goddess. </div> <div> For men, the Cerridwen crystal will help you become more in tune with your feminine side </div> <div> and to become more aware of the aspects of women that you may find troubling. </div> <div> For women, the Cerridwen crystal will help you regain some of the power and energy </div> <div> that society has taken from you. Teaches that feminine is not weak. Anyone doing healing </div> <div> work with another person needs the Cerridwen energy to be effective. The Cerridwen </div> <div> crystal should be carried or held when dealing with issues that are emotional and difficult. </div> <div> To nurture yourself, sit with the Cerridwen crystal in your hand with the point directed toward you. </div> <div> Visualize white light going from the point of the crystal and surrounding you.</div> <div> After doing this you should feel strong and cared for. </div> <div> CHANNELING CRYSTALS </div> <div> have seven edges surrounding the largest sloping face. These crystals are especially useful </div> <div> for obtaining information from deep within yourself or from sources that are outside of your </div> <div> normal realm. They can help you draw on the knowledge and information that is provided </div> <div> by the universe, and can aid you in getting help from a higher source. A channeling crystal </div> <div> can be used anytime you are seeking answers or help from outside of yourself. You must </div> <div> `listen' very carefully when using this crystal and realize that answers can come from many </div> <div> sources. Meditation is used with these crystals to get knowledge from the universe, and to </div> <div> communicate with your spirit guide. It can only be used by the person holding the crystal.</div> <div> Communication with Guide: A channeling crystal is a line of communication with sources </div> <div> outside yourself. Generally, the main source is your guide. A guide is a non-physical entity </div> <div> whose primary job is to look after you. Every human being has a guide. Guides are sometimes </div> <div> called other things, such as conscience, or angels, but they are always with us. We must </div> <div> learn to listen to what they have to say. Your guide will never tell you what to do, or interfere </div> <div> in other ways with what you want to do, but your guide is there to help you find answers for </div> <div> yourself. And you can use your channeling crystal to let your guide be your conscience. </div> <div> A channeling crystal can only be used by the person holding it. In other words, you can't </div> <div> send the energy to someone else in order to let him receive the information directly. </div> <div> However, since guides communicate readily with each other, you can become good at </div> <div> getting information to people by asking your guide to give you the needed information for </div> <div> someone else, and then relaying it to the person. This is how you channel information for others. </div> <div> Channeling crystals amplify the quiet inner voice of your guide, and can be a big help in </div> <div> learning how to channel information, both for yourself and for others. </div> <div> GROUNDING CRYSTALS </div> <div> have eight edges surrounding the largest sloping face. They are quite rare and not always </div> <div> easily available. Grounding is the ability to deal with practical matters in a realistic way. </div> <div> For example, in dealing with the question `How am I going to make a living', a grounded </div> <div> person will consider his skills and decide how best to use those skills to make a living.</div> <div> An ungrounded or `spacey' person does not like to deal with the practical or realistic aspects of life. </div> <div> Grounding crystals help you deal with practical matters in a realistic way. They connect you </div> <div> with the earth and keep your energies from being scattered. They help you think clearly and </div> <div> express yourself clearly. When used in meditation they help you form a strong connection with </div> <div> higher knowledge, but keep you grounded so that you can apply that information in practical terms. </div> <div> When using a grounding crystal to work through a personal problem, remember that it will require </div> <div> you to look at the truth of the situation and compel you to deal with that truth. </div> <div> It is sometimes difficult to recognize times when you need this crystal because not being grounded </div> <div> can be a way of life for some people. These days, it is common to be a little spacey because of </div> <div> things going on in our world. When you are having trouble concentrating, feeling a reluctance to </div> <div> tackle a task that needs doing, or find yourself running in circles but accomplishing nothing, you </div> <div> need a grounding crystal. </div> <div> You can sometimes help another person become more grounded by sitting quietly, holding your </div> <div> grounding crystal, and visualizing that person being firmly rooted to the earth. </div> <div> WINDOW CRYSTALS </div> <div> have a small diamond shaped face which takes the place of one of the corners where two </div> <div> of the parallel faces usually meet the corresponding two sloping faces. Window crystals are </div> <div> introspection crystals in that they help you see what is inside yourself. They help bring things </div> <div> to the surface so you can see them and effectively deal with them. If you are having problems </div> <div> and aren't sure why, a window crystal can be a good help. </div> <div> Window crystals are used for working within yourself to deal with problems and changes that </div> <div> must be made in your life. They are used in meditation to help you solve problems that are </div> <div> troubling your Inner Being. For example, if you find you are very jealous of a friend, you can </div> <div> use a window crystal to work within yourself to find the reason and deal with it. </div> <div> Think of a window crystal as a window into your soul. These are very personal crystals, and </div> <div> when one comes into your hands, it is intended to help you specifically.</div> <div> This crystal can be used when trying to help someone else solve problems. If a friend comes </div> <div> to you to talk about a problem have him hold the window crystal while you talk. </div> <div> It can help him open up. </div> <div> RECORD KEEPERS have a pyramid shaped indention or elevation that appears to be etched </div> <div> on one of the sloping faces. These are fairly rare, and often the pyramid will not be noticed until </div> <div> the crystal comes into the hands of the person it was meant to work with. Sometimes the pyramid </div> <div> can disappear and sometimes more pyramids show up. Each of these crystals has its own special </div> <div> lesson to teach, usually the lesson the person most needs to learn.</div> <div> Record keepers differ from window crystals in that window crystals help you look inside yourself </div> <div> to let you see the various things you need to learn, while record keepers deal with a specific </div> <div> lesson that you need to learn. A record keeper will often pass from your hands very quickly </div> <div> once the lesson is learned. </div> <div> Carry your record keeper or put it close to your bed so that it can work with you. It can also be </div> <div> used for meditation. </div> <div> Some crystals have several special characteristics, i.e. a Cerridwen with a Record. In this case </div> <div> there is a specific lesson to learn that deals with the feminine side of your energy. If you have an </div> <div> Cerridwen with a window it means that you need to look inside to find the areas in your feminine </div> <div> side that are causing you problems. </div> <div> TWIN CRYSTALS </div> <div> have two terminations (points) at the same end, which have developed from a single base. </div> <div> You can tell a twin crystal from two crystals that are simply attached to each other, by the </div> <div> fact that both parts of a twin crystal are exactly parallel to each other, and have no boundary </div> <div> between them in at least a small region of the crystal. These are wonderful crystals to use </div> <div> when dealing with `relationship' things. They can help you gain insight into the underlying </div> <div> problems in a relationship, and help work through them. They can generate very positive energy </div> <div> towards improving a relationship. This works for any kind of relationship, not only a man-woman </div> <div> relationship. A twin with a rainbow can be very effectively used to project healing energy into </div> <div> a relationship or to keep a good relationship strong. </div> <div> When you are having a problem with a relationship sit quietly with the twin and ask for help. </div> <div> Remember, that answers come from many directions. </div> <div> Twins are personal crystals as one of the twins is very closely tuned to your energy, so it is </div> <div> not possible to use this crystal to work for others in relationship matters. </div> <div> DOUBLE TERMINATED CRYSTALS </div> <div> are crystals that have points on both ends, allowing energy to flow readily in both directions. </div> <div> Double terminated crystals strengthen energy flow, and are especially useful when you need </div> <div> to share or exchange energy between you and another person. They are useful when you </div> <div> are working to help other people, for example in massage or counseling, where energy needs </div> <div> to flow in both directions. In these situations, energy flows toward you when you tune in to a </div> <div> person to find out what that person needs, and energy flows from you when you give the </div> <div> person the needed healing energy. Double terminated crystals are very important to people </div> <div> doing healing work for themselves or others. They also help teach sharing through energy exchange. </div> <div> If working with someone else, visualize energy flowing into you through the top of your head, </div> <div> down your arm, through the crystal, and into the other person. This can be done while you are </div> <div> with the person or it can work from a distance. </div> <div> If you have children, try using this crystal to send positive energy to the child when the </div> <div> child is upset or angry. It can have a very calming effect on both of you. </div> <div> GENERATOR CRYSTALS </div> <div> are equal sided crystals so that all six sides come to a symmetrical point. For channeling and </div> <div> directing energy of chakras. A Chakra is one of the seven energy centers of the human body.</div> <div> RAINBOW CRYSTALS </div> <div> have a rainbow reflected from within the crystal. Usually they are best viewed in sunlight. </div> <div> These crystals are especially good as meditation crystals for working deep within the subconscious. </div> <div> They work particularly well to lighten the mood for people experiencing sadness, grief or depression.</div> <div> Just holding a rainbow crystal can lighten your mood. Rainbow crystals are also very good at </div> <div> drawing negativity from a room or a situation. Always cleanse a crystal that has been used to </div> <div> clear negativity by letting it sit in the sunshine for a while.</div> <div> CRYSTALS WITH BABIES </div> <div> are crystals that have tiny crystals growing inside a larger crystal. These are very good for </div> <div> people who have had traumatic childhoods, physically or emotionally. They are helpful for </div> <div> people who are blocking painful memories. They help bring the cause of the pain to the surface </div> <div> and allow the person to successfully deal with it, while shielding that person from the pain those </div> <div> memories can cause. These crystals work well for people who are working through current family problems. </div> <div> Work slowly with this type of crystal, so that things can be cleared at your own pace. </div> <div> You may not feel inclined to work with it at all in the beginning. Don't force yourself. </div> <div> When you are ready, you will find yourself drawn to that particular crystal.</div> <div> You may have this crystal for years before you use it. Also, sometimes crystals come to you </div> <div> so that they can go to someone else. For example, someone might receive a crystal with babies, </div> <div> have it for some time and not be drawn to it at all. Suddenly they will have an urge to pass it on </div> <div> to someone else. </div> <div> You can use this crystal in meditation or just keep it close to you. </div> <div> Just be prepared to deal with whatever comes up. </div> <div> Try to have some sort of support around you if you are going to work with this crystal. </div> <div> TRIGGER CRYSTALS </div> <div> have a smaller crystal growing out from them. This `trigger' can be gently squeezed to </div> <div> activate the power of the crystal and strengthen its attributes. These are just used for </div> <div> a surge of a particular kind of energy. </div> <div> SELF-HEALED & PHANTOM CRYSTALS: A self-healed crystal is one that has been broken </div> <div> off and damaged quite badly, but then begins to grow again. A phantom is a crystal that has </div> <div> had some impurity drop on it during growth, but then continues to grow right around the impurity. </div> <div> Either of these types of crystal can help you heal from being hurt, heal from emotional injuries. </div> <div> These are important crystals that will usually come into your life at a time when you are carrying </div> <div> a lot of pain. Just sitting with this crystal will help you deal with the pain effectively. </div> <div> CLUSTERS: These represent community and are very powerful at clearing any negative energy </div> <div> from a room. Just set one out somewhere and allow it to work to clear the environment. </div> <div> AMETHYST/SMOKY CLUSTERS: These particular clusters are mined in a very small area of </div> <div> the Colorado Rockies. They are powerful in keeping the spirit centered because they carry a </div> <div> special kind of energy that keeps all the energy centers within the body aligned, balanced, </div> <div> and in harmony with each other. </div> <div> BRAZILIAN CRYSTALS: Crystals from Brazil have the special quality of enhancing your ability </div> <div> to project energy over a distance. For example, in some of the above exercises, where you are </div> <div> sending healing energy to someone that is too far away for you to touch physically, hold a </div> <div> Brazilian crystal along with the other crystal to strengthen the transmission. </div> <div> TIBETAN CRYSTALS: These extremely rare crystals are hand mined high in the mountains of </div> <div> Tibet, and are carried down the mountainside by backpack. Tibetan crystals are for protection. </div> <div> Just having a Tibetan crystal close to you puts up an automatic shield against negative energy. </div> <div> It also helps shield you from other people's negative energy. This shield is even stronger if you </div> <div> do a centering exercise while holding the crystal.</div> <div> CRYSTAL BALL - The sphere is an expression of infinite symmetry. The reflected image of a </div> <div> person's aura lets the trained interpreter see and know much about a person.</div> <div> WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH CRYSTALS</div> <div> Crystalline order is at the base of all life. A crystalline structure consists of units of energy that </div> <div> align themselves harmoniously with other fellow sub atomic particles, sort themselves, form </div> <div> repeating rows, layers and lattices according to the laws of nature. Therefore, crystal is a </div> <div> general term for a substance with a systematic ordered structure in a definite symmetrical </div> <div> pattern. They are incredibly organised with a highly organised latticework. Because of this </div> <div> organisation, they have an effect on organising energy fields around them. Crystalline </div> <div> structures are bones, muscles, water, salt, rock, wood, gemstones and quartz. From this</div> <div> it can be seen, that a human being is a crystalline structure!</div> <div> Modern physicists have affirmed that all physical form consists in essence, not of matter, </div> <div> but energy. Therefore the nature of physical matter is dynamic, moving and dancing. </div> <div> Therefore everything that exists is an external manifestation of an energy form, a vibration. </div> <div> We can therefore say that all crystalline structures are highly organised patterns of energy, </div> <div> yet each individual structure has its own vibration or frequency rate. Natural quartz crystals </div> <div> have extremely high and exact rates of vibration that can be precisely manipulated to </div> <div> augment, store, amplify, transfer, transform and focus other rates of vibration. Because of </div> <div> these qualities quartz crystals can be used to modify thoughts, emotions, and bodies by first </div> <div> effecting changes on the subtle non-physical planes (energy fields).</div> <div> Quartz consists of four oxygen atoms plus one silicon atom to make one molecular unit. </div> <div> Groups of these units link together to form spirals of molecular units that create a three </div> <div> dimensional latticework of systematic uniformity. They are 6 sided with two sides parallel </div> <div> to one another which reflects the hexagonal structure of pure quartz molecules (like a beehive!). </div> <div> These six sides also correspond to the six major chakras in the trunk and head of the physical </div> <div> body with the point corresponding to the seventh chakra.</div> <div> This structure responds in a precise and predictable way to all energy - light, heat, sound, </div> <div> thought waves, electricity - by the molecular units oscillating at high speeds back and forth </div> <div> to unite and create specific vibrations that pulse through the crystal to the surrounding </div> <div> environment. </div> <div> The quartz crystal receives energy, processes it, then transmits the oscillations outward in </div> <div> precise vibration patterns. Whatever is projected in comes out in a focused and amplified way. </div> <div> The quartz crystal does not distinguish from dark and therefore the key is the INTENT of the </div> <div> person using the crystal. </div> <div> Thus, our journey into crystalline energies is a journey into the self. The crystal is an energetic </div> <div> mirror to allow us to look deeply and honestly at ourselves. </div> <div> Programming Crystals</div> <div> The only crystal that can be programmed is Quartz. First make sure your crystal is cleansed. </div> <div> Sit in a quiet place and still your mind. Think clearly about what thought you want the crystal </div> <div> to hold, take a deep breath, holding the crystal in your left hand, blow your intention onto the </div> <div> crystal. This is a very powerful way to program the crystal. You can programme a crystal to </div> <div> help you do most things. Try and use different crystals for separate things. Use one for healing, </div> <div> one for information storage, one for music, etc. </div> <div> Cleansing Crystals</div> <div> When you first get a crystal it will need cleansing because it will have picked up many energies </div> <div> on its way to you. there are several ways of doing this. It can be left in full sunlight for a day, also </div> <div> in full moonlight. Running water is good, fresh water, rivers, streams. Visualisation of the crystal </div> <div> in a mountain steam, or flooded with white light, is also a good way. Your intent must be pure. </div> <div> Never use hot or warm water. Always cleanse after it has been used in any sort of healing and </div> <div> when you want to re-programme it. </div> <div> Charging Crystals</div> <div> Crystals need to be charged up, somewhat like a car battery. The way to do this is very similar </div> <div> to cleansing. Again in the sun, under the moon, any holy place, by a stream or river. Leave as </div> <div> long as you feel is right. Don't leave them in draws or dark places they like to be out in the open </div> <div> to work to their full potential. </div> <div> Wearing Crystals</div> <div> Usually worn round the neck, stimulating the thyroid and increasing the efficiency of the </div> <div> immune system. Also assists the respiratory system and sore throats. When the crystal is </div> <div> pointing down it is grounding, soothing and calming. Giving energy to all systems. When </div> <div> pointing upwards this strengthens the spirit and gives a general uplift. A double terminated </div> <div> crystal (pointed at both ends) is excellent to use as it balances the two, giving a combination of both. </div> <div> MORE ON CRYSTALS</div> <div> Choosing, Cleansing, Clearing And Programming</div> <div> All crystals need to be treated with respect and love. If they are used as a tool, do so with </div> <div> humility and gratitude. In choosing a crystal, it is necessary to find one that vibrates in harmony </div> <div> with the self and with the specific purpose for which you are bringing it into your life. </div> <div> Like attracts like. Each human and each crystal has its own vibration.</div> <div> In front of you is a tray of crystals - quartz and others. Look at them. Feel them. There are a </div> <div> number of ways to know which is right for you. Instant rapport - is there one that you instantly </div> <div> are drawn to? Strong energies - move your hand over the top and feel the energies from </div> <div> each and see which one you are drawn to. Physical attraction - is there one that you really, </div> <div> really like the look of and must pick it up and feel it? </div> <div> Now you have your quartz crystal what do you do with it? It now needs to have the outside </div> <div> cleansed. The best way to do this is with luke warm soapy water. This cleans the outside of </div> <div> the vibrations of its travels from the miner to the buyer to the importer, to the wholesaler etc. </div> <div> It also needs cleaning when it is dirty, dusty or has body oil on it from your handling. Just as </div> <div> you need a shower or bath on a regular basis, so do your crystals. Many also like to bathe </div> <div> in the light of the moon. My preference is the moon rather than the sun. All your crystals like </div> <div> to be cleaned, be they quartz or gemstones. I do not clean my crystals in salt of any kind as </div> <div> many books recommend. Salt is crystalline. If you look at your crystals, you may see very </div> <div> minute cracks. If a piece of salt goes into that crack and stays there, it could crack the crystal. </div> <div> Quartz crystals store vibrations that come from sound, light, touch, emotions, other bodies, </div> <div> physical environment and affects those coming in contact with the crystal. Thus, they need </div> <div> to be cleared before working with them and after they have been used; when it appears to </div> <div> lack vitality or looks dull; and to neutralise internal programs. Please remember that they are </div> <div> an energy storage device. To clear, you will hold the quartz in your hands and pulse with the </div> <div> mental intent to clear. Crystals are also programmed with the use of the pulse breath. Both the </div> <div> clearing and programming are done with quartz crystals only as the coloured stones have </div> <div> their own innate programs. When humans and quartz crystals work together, the crystal </div> <div> becomes a very sensitive and precise tool. They accumulate the intentions/programs of </div> <div> the user; magnify and amplify them; focus them and feed them back to the environment.</div> <div> When we program, the crystal is keyed to our personal vibration and thus it becomes an </div> <div> extension of self. The storage of programs in a crystal is similar to the storing of data on a </div> <div> computer chip.</div> <div> METAL MAGICK</div> <div> Properties of some common metallic elements and their uses for metal Magick in rituals and spells. </div> <div> ALUMINUM *Projective/Mercury/Air/Male </div> <div> Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element on the earth and the moon. 8% </div> <div> of the earth's crust is composed of aluminum in some form. Almost all rocks </div> <div> contain aluminosilicate minerals. The human body also contains traces of aluminum.</div> <div> Powers Of Aluminum: A conductor of electricity. </div> <div> Magick Uses: A Modern metal with no Magick history. Aluminum foil can be used </div> <div> to fashion shapes for image Magick. </div> <div> BOJI STONES *Projective/Mars/Fire/*Akasha </div> <div> Powers Of Boji Stones: Protection/Healing/Psychic Power</div> <div> Magickal Uses: Use for grounding and healing by holding the stone in your </div> <div> hand while visualizing. Use these stones to protect and strengthen your psychic defenses. </div> <div> Balance: Wear to balance energies within the body</div> <div> BRASS* Projective/Sun/Fire/Male</div> <div> Powers Of Brass: Healing/ Money/Protection</div> <div> Associated Deities: Sun deities</div> <div> Magick Uses: Brass can be used as a substitute for gold for money attracting </div> <div> Magick rituals and spells. A simple money attracting talisman that can </div> <div> easily be made is to inscribe a pentagram on a small piece of brass and carry </div> <div> it with you at all times. Brass is used for sun Magick and fire Magick </div> <div> rituals and spells. Sun Magick spells used to attract wealth and money should </div> <div> be performed at sunrise. Because brass has protective attributes it is used </div> <div> for defensive Magick to protect and send back negativity to the sender. Brass </div> <div> jewelry is worn for this purpose during such rituals.</div> <div> COPPER (Cu/cuprum) Receptive/Venus/Water/Female</div> <div> The human body contains traces of copper.</div> <div> Powers Of Copper: Conductor of electricity/Healing/Love/Luck/Protection</div> <div> Associated Deities: Ishtar, Aphrodite and Astarte, and other Goddesses associated with Venus.</div> <div> Magick Uses: Copper is used to make wands to direct energy during ritual. It </div> <div> is also worn during ritual to increase the direction of energy towards the </div> <div> desired goal. Pure copper is also worn for healing and to prevent sickness. </div> <div> It is said that copper should be worn on the opposite side of your dominate </div> <div> hand. For example, if you are right handed then wear copper on your left </div> <div> side. Because it is associated with the planet Venus it is also worn to </div> <div> attract love. It is highly effective for attracting love when copper is combined with emeralds. </div> <div> Balance: Copper has the ability to balance the polarity's of the body, this </div> <div> is why copper is used to heal and prevent sickness. Copper balances the flow </div> <div> of energies in the body, both receptive and projective. When a person feels </div> <div> ill, it is believed that the energies in the body are not in balance or are </div> <div> blocked and copper is worn to balance these energies and stimulate the </div> <div> natural healing of the body. </div> <div> WARNING: In the book, Metalen En Hun Effecten, Roos Leffebure(Dutch), Copper </div> <div> has a physical effect as well as an emotional effect. If worn for too long </div> <div> the physical effect can result in bluish of the skin with a smell, headaches </div> <div> and an unstable heart rhythm. The emotional effect is like silver, it </div> <div> produces emotional instability if worn for too long. </div> <div> ELECTRUM (A mixture of metals)*Projective/Sun/Fire/Male</div> <div> Powers Of Electrum: To find a natural mixture of metals is rare.

Gold and a white candle </div> <div> are used for protection spells. Wear gold jewelry or a talisman to attract </div> <div> success and wealth. Gold worn during a ritual enhances the ability to gather </div> <div> up and send out power. A substitute for gold to use in money attracting</div> <div> spells is Pyrite( also known as Fool's Gold) </div> <div> IRON (Fe/ferrum)*Projective/Mars/Fire/Male</div> <div> The human body contains traces of iron.</div> <div> Powers Of Iron: Protection/Healing/Strength</div> <div> Associated Deities: Selene</div> <div> Magick Uses: Pure form is found only in Meteorites. Used for defensive Magick </div> <div> to deflect negativity. Iron stops the flow of psychic energy and is used for </div> <div> healing the self when one feels emotional wrought or is under psychic attack,. </div> <div> in this way it deflects negative energy. Iron inscribed with symbolic Mars is </div> <div> worn for protective and defensive Magick. Also you can take iron nails and </div> <div> insert them in white or blue candles for protection and defensive Magick. A </div> <div> talisman of iron is said to increase physical strength. Envisioning a large </div> <div> iron gate of olde during a protection spell helps to mentally keep negative away.</div> <div> LEAD (Pb/plumbum)*Receptive/Saturn/Earth/Female </div> <div> Powers of Lead: Protection</div> <div> Magick Uses: To be used for defensive and protective Magick to deflect negative energies. </div> <div> WARNING: Lead is poisonous when absorbed by the body.</div> <div> LODESTONE (Magnetite/natural magnet/natural iron oxide)*Receptive/Venus/Water/Female</div> <div> Was used by sailors and mariners to find the magnetic North.</div> <div> Powers Of Lodestone: To attract love, money, friendship, and power/Protection/Fidelity</div> <div> Magickal Uses: Lodestone has a natural magnetic quality and the larger the </div> <div> stone the greater its magnetic powers. It is used for attraction. It can worn </div> <div> during ritual, or placed on an alter to increase a spell's powers. Lodestone </div> <div> can also be used for healing by placing the stone on the hurt part of the </div> <div> body. After the spell or ritual is performed and the stone has absorbed the </div> <div> negative energies, the stone should be cleaned. It can also be placed in the </div> <div> receptive hand while performing spells or for emotional healing.</div> <div> MERCURY (Hg/hydrargyrum)*Duel Energies/Water, Earth, Air/Male/Female</div> <div> WARNING: Mercury is poisonous!

Silver is also associated with the stones, Lapis </div> <div> Lazuli, Jade, Pearl and Emerald. When one of these stones are used together </div> <div> with silver as in a piece of jewelry it is used to attract love. Wear silver </div> <div> to sleep with a stone such as moonstone to enhance psychic dreams.</div> <div> Balance: If wearing too much silver overwhelms you and makes you emotionally </div> <div> overwhelmed, try wearing gold with it to balance out. </div> <div> STEEL*Projective/Mars/Fire/Male</div> <div> Magick Uses: A modern metal without history of magick use. Since it is a </div> <div> projective metal it is used today for defensive magick to deflect negative </div> <div> energies away. Steel knives are used either through visualization or </div> <div> physically held while visualizing negative impulses and all negative energies </div> <div> away from yourself. Afterwards take the knife and place it under your </div> <div> mattress to symbolically serve as protection and to block negative energies </div> <div> from disturbing your thoughts at night. A steel knife used in this manner is </div> <div> for symbolism and visualization. Use caution when handling a knife.</div> <div> TIN (Sn/stannum)*Projective/Jupiter/Air/Male </div> <div> The main component for Pewter.</div> <div> Powers Of Tin: Money/ Luck</div> <div> Magick Uses: Made into money attracting *talismans</div> <div> CRYSTALS</div> <div> For over a millenium, crystals, precious gems, and natural stones have been utilized for </div> <div> meditation, charging, healing and various other magical aids.

Sit before it with a handful of</div> <div> small amber beads or pieces, and using them, create a circle around</div> <div> yourself. Sit within the circle while restoring your energy and closing</div> <div> yourself to any and all outside influences. Repeat as necessary.</div> <div> Protection - Amber</div> <div> Place nine small beads or pieces of amber into a bath of very warm</div> <div> water. Soak in the tub until the water cools, then retrieve the amber,</div> <div> towel off, and carry or wear one of the beads or pieces until your next</div> <div> bath.</div> <div> Emotional Upset - Amethyst</div> <div> When emotionally upset, stressed to the point of severe mental problems,</div> <div> or when in any unstable condition, go to a place outside where you can be</div> <div> alone. Hold an amethyst in your left hand. Pour out all your feelings, your</div> <div> emotions, from your body through your arm, out your palm and into the stone.</div> <div> Feel every pain, every emotional low, every hurt. Send it into the stone</div> <div> with all the force of your innate magical abilities.</div> <div> When the stone is nearly bursting with negativity, throw it with as much</div> <div> force as you can muster. Scream, howl, choke out a shout as you throw the</div> <div> stone. As you hand releases the amethyst, release the hurt as well. Know</div> <div> that it is in the stone, that it is outside you, that it is now alien to</div> <div> you.</div> <div> Calm down, breathe deeply, meditate for a few moments. Thank the earth</div> <div> for its help, then turn around and leave your problems behind you.</div> <div> The earth will absorb the hurt, leaving the stone free, but never bring</div> <div> that stone into your life again.</div> <div> Psychic Awareness - Aquamarine</div> <div> A gentle cleansing tincture can be made by placing an aquamarine in a</div> <div> glass of fresh water. Let this sit in full moonlight outdoors, if possible,</div> <div> for three hours. Retrieve the stone and drink the liquid for purification</div> <div> and heightened psychic awareness.</div> <div> Divination - Azurite</div> <div> Place a piece of azurite between two white candles in a darkened room.</div> <div> Light the candles. Hold the azurite in you hand until it is warm, emptying</div> <div> you mind of thought.</div> <div> Close your eyes until you feel the azurite's soft, slow energies</div> <div> touching your hand. Then open your eyes and gaze at the stone until answers</div> <div> or messages come through.</div> <div> Divination - Hematite</div> <div> In a darkened room, light a red candle. Settle before it and hold a</div> <div> large piece of hematite so that the candle flame is reflected on it. Gaze at</div> <div> the reflection and visualize a question.

With visualization, mold and</div> <div> form your face and body to the form you desire. Carry or wear the opal and</div> <div> dedicate yourself to improving your appearance.</div> <div> AMBER & JET</div> <div> In many earth-based religions it is customary for the High Priestess to wear jewelry combining the two. </div> <div> Why? It is because Jet & Amber are the only combination that come from the same source yet embody </div> <div> both the God AND the Goddess aspects! How? Amber is a fossilized resin, and is the Male element. </div> <div> It is the Sun, the Light ~ Ra. Jet, on the other hand, is dark, mysterious, female ~ Moon But they both </div> <div> come from the same source! Amber is the resin, jet is the tree itself, the wood transformed...so the </div> <div> combination of the two is ALL, dark/light, male/female, sun/moon.</div> <div> AMBER </div> <div> Amber is not, technically a stone but a fossil. It is also the oldest known gem to be used my man </div> <div> as an adornment. Amber is fossilized resin from ancient conifers. Most Amber is found washed up </div> <div> on the beach but there are fields of buried trees that also contain Amber, the Amber that comes </div> <div> from New Zealand is like that. Russian (also known as Baltic) and Dominican Amber,</div> <div> however, are usually a beach-combers dream! </div> <div> True Amber is pre-Jurassic, any Amber that is younger than that is called Copal. A lot of Amber </div> <div> does contain bugs, I have seen pieces with hundreds of specimens, and I have one that I wear </div> <div> that has 17. It can also have small "critters" like lizards, but those pieces are extremely rare. </div> <div> Many pieces also have leaves, twigs and bark in them. Some have droplets of air, that over the </div> <div> milleniums have compressed and become shiny discs that look like sun spangles. </div> <div> In olden times they used to make pipe stems from Amber with the belief that the gem did not retain </div> <div> germs and was antiseptic. I know many people that swear that wearing an Amber pendant will </div> <div> relieve arthritis. It is also said that wearing Amber will protect you from radiation. The golden color </div> <div> of Amber is associated with the sun, and with the solar plexus Chakra. In Middle Eastern belief the </div> <div> Chakras are the connections of the soul to the body, and the main "entry" point is the solar plexus Chakra.</div> <div> As such, the Higher Self connects to the physical self through this Chakra, and the wearing of Amber </div> <div> will strengthen this connection.</div> <div> JADE</div> <div> There are several shades of Jade, from a pale, soft green, to white, to lavender, red, yellow, and the </div> <div> emperor of Jade, Imperial Jade, which is a deep green color. Imperial Jade got its name from the last </div> <div> empress of China, who revered - and collected - it. When a piece was unearthed it had to go directly </div> <div> to her, and she kept a lot of it, over 3,000 cabinets full of it. </div> <div> The Chinese have revered Jade for as long as can be remembered. It is used for Happiness, Longevity, </div> <div> Prosperity, Protection, Joy, Love and Wisdom. </div> <div> Chinese people will often wear several pieces hanging from their belt, the melody caused by the </div> <div> Jade pieces as they jingle brings joy and peace. Confucius said of Jade "Wise men have seen in </div> <div> Jade all the different virtues. It is soft, smooth and shining - like</div> <div> kindness; it is hard, fine and strong - like intelligence; it's edges seem sharp, but do not cut, like justice. </div> <div> It hangs down to the ground, like humility; when struck, it gives a ringing sound, like music; the stains </div> <div> in it which are not hidden and which add to its beauty are like truthfulness; it's brightness is like </div> <div> Heaven, and it's fine substance is like the earth, born of the mountains and water." </div> <div> Kwan Chung wrote of it in the seventh century BC</div> <div> that Jade symbolizes to the Chinese nine of the highest attainments of Man "In it's smoothness </div> <div> he recognizes Benevolence, In it's high polish - Knowledge Emblematic, In it's unbending firmness - </div> <div> Righteousness, In it's modest harmlessness - Virtuous Actions, In it's rarity and spotlessness - </div> <div> Purity, In the way it exposes every flaw - Ingenuousness, In that it passes from hand to hand </div> <div> without being sullied - Moral Conduct, And that when struck it gives forth a sweet note that floats </div> <div> sharply and distinctly to a distance - Music." </div> <div> Jade does come from other places then China, notably, a very high quality of Jade comes from </div> <div> New Zealand. The Maories traditionally make a totem called a Hei Tiki from it. These tikis are handed </div> <div> down from generation to generation and are highly prized.</div> <div> CHALCEDONY</div> <div> Energy: Receptive</div> <div> Planet: Moon</div> <div> Element: Water</div> <div> Powers: Peace, Anti-Nightmare, Travel, Protection, Lactation, Luck </div> <div> Magickal Uses: Chalcedony, in common with many other stones, banishes fear, hysteria, </div> <div> depression, mental illness, and sadness. It also promotes calm and peaceful feelings when </div> <div> worn or held in the hand.</div> <div> In the 16th century it was prescribed by magicians to dissolve illusions and fantasies. </div> <div> For this purpose it was pierced and hung </div> <div> around the neck.</div> <div> Worn to bed or placed beneath the pillow, chalcedony drives away nightmares, night </div> <div> visions and fears of the dark.</div> <div> As a protective stone, chalcedony guards its bearer during times of political revolution </div> <div> and while traveling. It is also used to ward off psychic attack and negative Magick. </div> <div> Chalcedony prevents accidents if worn.</div> <div> In Renaissance magic the chalcedony was engraved with the figures of a man with his </div> <div> right hand upraised. This was worn for success in lawsuits as well as for health and safety.</div> <div> The stone is used for beauty, strength, energy and success in all undertakings, and in Italy, </div> <div> mothers wear beats of white chalcedony to increase lactation. An arrowhead carved of </div> <div> chalcedony is worn and carried for luck.</div> <div> AMETHYST</div> <div> Aids in development of magickal skill, spiritual connections, love, clarity, divination, wisdom, </div> <div> courage, psychic growth, dreaming, </div> <div> protection, healing and balancing energy.</div> <div> Corresponding oils</div> <div> Frankincense: protection, purification, strengthening</div> <div> Clary Sage: wisdom, protection, purification, divination</div> <div> Sandalwood: protection, spirituality and harmony</div> <div> Lavender: love, peace, balancing, purification, protection</div> <div> Rosemary: protection, love, purification, courage</div> <div> AVENTURINE</div> <div> Used for healing, sexual well-being, activating and expanding your imagination, enhancing </div> <div> creativity, and drawing prosperity to you.

Most are familiar with blue, but it also comes in black, </div> <div> green and pink. Pink Kyanite is often confused with Rubellite, and indeed does look a lot like </div> <div> the Rubellite that grows in Lepidolite (Rubellite is also known as Pink Tourmaline) Pink Kyanite </div> <div> is somewhat denser and the host stone is white. Green Kyanite is also what is known as Gem-quality. </div> <div> It is more translucent/transparent and often has a blue striation ~ or vein ~ running through the middle, </div> <div> lengthwise. Black Kyanite is very striated and fans out from the tip to the end. It has a tendency to </div> <div> flake off little needles, so handle with care! Blue Kyanite is a beautiful, mid-to-dark blue, translucent </div> <div> stone. The more you use it the darker it will get. Kyanite is not really indigenous to this planet. It does </div> <div> grow here but did not originate here. If you look at Black Kyanite you can see how it looks like it fell </div> <div> like an arrow to the Earth. I mostly use two types of Kyanite, Blue & Black. Kyanite is an Astral stone, </div> <div> by which I mean it is used to facilitate</div> <div> Astral Projection. Why is it so good for this? Not being from here it does not have the signature </div> <div> vibration of the Earth so it makes it easier for us to also separate from it. To use Blue Kyanite, </div> <div> take it in your left hand, place your hand over your heart and relax. Blue Kyanite will first clear </div> <div> and center you. Why? Because if you are not cleared and centered you cannot properly leave </div> <div> the body. Relax into the stone and just drift...the rest is up to you and the stone! Blue Kyanite will </div> <div> take you where you want to go, in contrast Black will take you where you need to go. To use </div> <div> Black you must have two pieces, one in each hand. Lie down with your hands by your side and </div> <div> relax...Just remember, you MUST come back! At the least Kyanite will put you in a very deep </div> <div> meditative state. use it in Balancings to get the ego of the person out of the way so the other </div> <div> stones and the energy work will not be blocked. The energy runs lengthwise through Kyanite, </div> <div> and just like Tourmaline if you heat one end you will feel the warmth at the other end. Meaning if </div> <div> you want to use it to project energy it is ideal for that, as is Tourmaline or Aquamarine (or Quartz </div> <div> for that matter!) </div> <div> BENITOITE</div> <div> Benitoite crystallizes forming slightly flattened pyramid shaped or tabular crystals. The color ranges </div> <div> from colorless to blue, pink, purple, and white; some of the crystals are partially colorless and partially </div> <div> colored. It has been found exclusively in California, </div> <div> USA. </div> <div> This mineral can be used to enhance contact with extra terrestrial beings, once contact has been established. </div> <div> It can also aid in allowing transmission of thoughts between two people( without verbalization). </div> <div> The stone has been used successfully in the laying on of stones to raise the experience of astral </div> <div> travel to a higher degree. </div> <div> Benitoite brings lightness and joy with depth of beauty and thought to the wearer, enhancing </div> <div> movement and activity. </div> <div> It is a great benefactor to the well being of ones physical, emotional, and intellectual selves; the </div> <div> energy brings the message and helps one to realize that ones passage through time and space is </div> <div> not arbitrary and indiscriminate and that one is, indeed, </div> <div> at all times in the right place, at the right time. </div> <div> It is an excellent stone, useful for expediting the healing process and for integrating and releasing the </div> <div> basic cause of disease. </div> <div> It has been used in the treatment of disorders of the blood, to ameliorate conditions of excessive </div> <div> bleeding, and to strengthen the walls of the veins.</div> <div> BAVENITE</div> <div> Bavenite crystallizes in the form of fibrous radial groupings of prismatic crystals. The color is white. </div> <div> This mineral can be used to enhance ones self image and to provide incentive to grow spiritually, </div> <div> emotionally, and intentionally. It brings a softness to ones spirit, yet encourages a righteousness with </div> <div> respect to ones privilege to grow in the highest direction. </div> <div> It promotes flowering of the self during the right season. The message of the energy of </div> <div> Bavenite instills the knowledge that one must never accept deficiencies within oneself; if </div> <div> one accepted less than perfection, one would be grasping the belief that lack is universal will. </div> <div> It allows one to delay judgement until all relevant information is available. It also provides for </div> <div> proficiency in intellectual endeavors. </div> <div> It continues to encourage one to open to creativity, providing for a vast expanse of information</div> <div> with respect to the nature of creation. Bavenite can be used in the treatment of disorders of </div> <div> speech, hearing, sight, smell, and touch. It can stimulate the wellness attribute within the inner </div> <div> being, allowing for mental and structural alignment and physical well being.</div> <div> LAPIS LAZULI</div> <div> Deep rich blue, often has gold or iridescent colored flecks. Sagittarius (Archer) SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 - DEC. 21)</div> <div> Aquarius (Water-bearer) AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 - FEB. 18)</div> <div> Revered throughout the ages as Holy, and a connection with the very Gods themselves...</div> <div> Lapis is a stone of Protection, a stone of Communication, a stone of Awareness, a stone of </div> <div> Enlightenment, a stone of courage.</div> <div> HISTORY</div> <div> The ancient Egyptians used it extensively as a dye for cloth, a make-up (the original blue </div> <div> eyeshadow) and, of course, in jewelry and decoration. One of the most popular items was </div> <div> Lapis carved into a Scarab. It was also pulverized and given as a poison antidote, as it was </div> <div> thought to cleanse the body of impurities and toxins. Small children that are timid are given </div> <div> Lapis to impart Courage. It is a very soothing and peaceful stone, less abrupt than the royal blue in it's energy.</div> <div> WHAT IS LAPIS LAZULI?</div> <div> Lapis is a Third-Eye stone, incredible for placing on the 3rd eye in meditation...also for interdimensional </div> <div> communication and scrying... Since Lapis is such a deep blue color and has flecks of pyrite in it, it </div> <div> resembles the night sky and is good for Dreaming. It is also said that connecting with the pyrite flecks </div> <div> is like connecting with the stars and the Celestial Beings.</div> <div> Lapis is a stone of Venus. It is also a stone of Peace, and has been used against depression </div> <div> and melancholy. Lapis lazuli increases psychic abilities. Penetrates through psychic blockages </div> <div> to reveal inner truth. It helps meditation and is useful for "neutral perception" in emotional issues. </div> <div> This stone's for understanding higher self, overview, decisions for good of all. It stimulates wisdom, </div> <div> truthfulness and can help organize one's life and protect the wearer. It promotes the connection </div> <div> between the physical plane and the celestial kingdom. It also furthers connectedness between </div> <div> male and female. Improves self-statement, writing, creativity, dream insight...sooths and balances </div> <div> anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, autism, shyness, nervous system; MS, speech, hearing, pituitary, </div> <div> DNA, lymph, inflammation, pain (especially head).</div> <div> Lapis Lazuli points the way to enlightenment, and it aids the opening of the Third Eye. It is a gem </div> <div> of contemplation and meditation. Stones with deep luminosity and bright, exotic blues are the most </div> <div> useful. Gold flecks of pyrite inclusions give the stone unusually positive energy. The opening of the </div> <div> Chakras is facilitated with Lapis Lazuli. It has a fine quality energy that must be sought out.</div> <div> When Lapis was first introduced to Europe, it was called ultramarinum, which means beyond the sea. </div> <div> Ground lapis was the secret </div> <div> of the blue in ultramarine, the pigment which painters used to paint the sea and the sky until the nineteenth </div> <div> century. Lapis was also popular in inlays. The columns of St Issac's Cathedral in Petersburg are lined with </div> <div> lapis and the Pushkin Palace in Petersburg has lapis lazuli paneling! The Romans believed that lapis was </div> <div> a powerful aphrodisiac. In the Middle Ages, it was thought to keep the limbs healthy and free the soul from </div> <div> error, envy and fear.</div> <div> STONES</div> <div> Adventurine: General healing, dissolves unhealthy thoughts and reflects healing. </div> <div> Amethyst: Induces meditation and devotional state.
