Crystals
Crystals are precious and extremely beautiful. They have aided our ancestors spiritually and physically for millennia. Once you tap into a crystal’s unique beauty and strength, the effect is transformational. When worn or carried, crystals transmit a feeling of peace. Like a candle in the mist of darkness, a sense of spiritual enlightenment warms the heart. Anger becomes a thing of the past, and you exude love and compassion to those around you.
Today, the legacy of crystals is stronger than ever before. Crystals are a wonderful complementary tool in magic. The energies within each individual crystal work in unison with each individual. When the energy of a crystal merges with your own, sparks take to the air and those sparks take your wishes and needs to the universe.
Crystals absorb as well as project energy, which means that lots of other people may have handled your crystal and imbued it with their own energy before you did. For that reason, it’s important to cleanse your crystal before you program it with your intent. There are many ways to cleanse a crystal, with no right or wrong way to do so—I will guide you through this process. If a spell in this section does not indicate a cleansing method, you still need to cleanse your crystal, which you can do by placing it in a glass of water and adding a large spoonful of salt. Mix the salt with the water and crystal, and leave the mixture outside for one night in your backyard or on a balcony before doing the spell.
The effects of crystals are wide and varied, but in general they are potent protective and healing talismans that can transform your life in any way you want them to, providing you have the desire to change, the will to believe, and you forever hold the love and understanding the crystals will bring.
Crystals on the go
Accidents
A carnelian agate is best. Just rinse this crystal with some rainwater, hold it in your hands, and visualize prevention where you need it the most. Keep the crystal with you at all times.
Aggression
For those who share their unwanted aggression with you, keep a bloodstone crystal close to your heart at all times and the aggressor will no longer be aggressive.
Alcoholism
If you want to stop drinking, cleanse an amethyst crystal deep within the earth for an entire day. Then keep this very powerful crystal with you at all times. Every day, visualize that you dislike drinking alcohol until you actually do, and your addiction will diminish.
Angels
When you seek the guidance of an angel, hold a clear quartz crystal close to your heart and ask for divine direction and you shall find it.
Anger
When you want to calm someone’s unnecessary anger, leave a blue-lace agate crystal out on the grass on a full-moon night. The next morning, hold this crystal in your hands and visualize this person’s anger subsiding and as a thing of the past. Then hide the crystal where it will never be found by the one who needs calming down.
Anxiety
The jitters of anxiety can be quieted down by wearing a pyrite crystal. Cleanse this crystal with a drop of lavender essential oil, and as you do so, visualize that which gives you anxiety. Hang this crystal from your neck, and every time you are anxious, touch the crystal with your index finger. Feel the calming, soothing sensations that only pyrite can give running through your body.
Asthma
Always wear a rose quartz crystal for your asthma, or have one under your pillow.
Aura
To strengthen your aura, hold a clear quartz crystal and it will magnify your aura tenfold.
Bad temper
For those who would rather fight than talk, place amethyst and blue agate crystals under their pillows.
Broken heart
To heal a broken heart, place a rose quartz crystal on top of a grassy patch and leave it out all night. Carry this crystal close to your heart at all times, and it will heal the pain you are suffering deep down inside.
Cancer
For those who suffer from cancer, a smoky quartz and an amethyst crystal should always be worn. The quartz heals while the amethyst pacifies. This will aid and strengthen your faith while treatment is being conducted and remission is at hand.
Children
The best crystal for children to have is a tiger’s-eye. Cleanse it with baby oil and hold it in your hands, while visualizing the protection and growth you wish for your children. Then place this crystal in the children’s room, where it cannot be found by them.
Clarity of mind
When the mind is boggled with problems, hold an aquamarine crystal in your hands, and as you do so, visualize your mind clear, with your problems solved and with no more worries.
Clairvoyance
To aid spiritual workings, have in front of you a lapiz lazuli or a ruby crystal. These two crystals take the mind further than any other.
Confidence / Courage
If it’s confidence you need, then it’s confidence you shall have. Cleanse an onyx crystal under the sun for an hour. Then, while it is still hot in your hands, visualize the confidence you need and you will have it.
Creative expression
If you need creativity, carry with you a bloodstone crystal.
Danger
If you feel danger is ahead, carry with you a malachite crystal.
Depression
Depression can bring you down, but a kunzite crystal will help to lift you up.
Dreams
For total dream recall, cleanse an azurite crystal with lavender water and always have it under your pillow. Think of your dreams before you get out of bed, as that way they will stay longer in your mind for you to analyze them.
Energy
If it’s energy you’re lacking, wear as much silver jewelry as you can. Silver is a conductor of energy, and it will give you plenty.
Enemies/Envy
For the enemies and envy in your office, put a tiger’s-eye crystal on your desk. It will repel those enemies you don’t need to have, and the envious ones will go away.
Evil eye
I know of only one crystal that can protect you from the evil eye, and that is tiger’s-eye when it is worn.
Faithfulness
For a faithful partner, place a blue agate crystal under your partner’s pillow.
Fertility / Pregnancy
To become pregnant, carry a tiger’s-eye, carnelian agate, and a red jasper crystal with you at all times. To have a healthy pregnancy, carry a howlite crystal inside your bra.
Financial stability / Fortune
To keep that financial stability going, wear opals or carry a bloodstone crystal in your purse or wallet.
Friends
To keep and make friends, a bloodstone crystal should do the trick.
Happiness
Keep together a moonstone and a moss agate crystal in a little orange drawstring bag, and it will make you happy with every beat of your heart.
Headaches / Migraines
Stress headaches can be avoided if you cleanse a hematite crystal and wear it as a necklace.
Hope
When you think hope has gone, find a citrine crystal and keep it in your pocket, but not before you cleanse it with a drop of bergamot, which is the “happy” essential oil.
Intellect / Intuition
A rhodochrosite crystal that has been cleansed in rainwater and worn around the neck will boost the intuition and intellect.
Jealousy
Without a jealous partner knowing, place under his or her pillow an apophyllite crystal, and there will be nothing for your partner to feel jealous about.
Love
For self-love, the best crystal to have is a rose quartz.
Lover
A tiger’s-eye crystal exchanged between lovers will aid with the future of what is yet to come.
Luck
There is no such thing as bad luck when you carry a tiger’s-eye crystal.
Meditation
When meditating, it is always good to hold a crystal in your hand; that crystal should always be a clear quartz or an amethyst crystal.
Memory
Some days you may not remember the color of your underwear, so carry a fluorite crystal—and you’ll remember not just the color of your underwear but also the brand name.
Menopause
If you think you are near the crone years, carry with you a ruby crystal and keep it close to your heart.
Money
Over the years, I have discovered that the money-attracting crystals are citrine and red jasper. The citrine brings abundance, and the red jasper attracts new work opportunities that bring in the cash.
Negative energies
To combat the negative energies of unwanted entities, cleanse a tiger’s-eye and an apache-tear crystal in a glass of water with a teaspoon of rock salt. Leave this mixture outside on a full-moon night, and on the third day bring it inside. Now hold the crystals in your hands and visualize the negative energy you want to ward away. Carry the crystals with you every day.
Peace
We all want a peaceful home, free of arguments. A rose crystal and an amethyst quartz crystal will do the job. To keep the energy flowing, keep the crystals where your family congregates.
Protection
For the protection of the self, always carry a tiger’s-eye crystal.
Psychic abilities
To magnify your psychic abilities, always have with you a lapis lazuli crystal.
Sadness
When there is sadness in your heart due to a breakup or because you’ve lost a loved one, hold or carry an amethyst crystal in your hand, and the pain will lessen every day.
Sleep
If you’re unable to sleep, keep an amethyst crystal in a sock under your pillow, and add to it a drop of lavender essential oil. You will then be able to sleep all night without looking at the clock.
Strength
If you need the personal strength to face situations that seem uneven, drop an aquamarine crystal in a glass. Keep it out where the moonlight shines at night, and in the morning drink the water—but please don’t swallow the crystal!
Stress
To fight stress, the best remedy is to hang a moonstone crystal around your neck 24/7. The stress will go away, but if it ever returns, again hang a moonstone crystal around your neck at all times.
Verbal expression
The best crystal to hold in your hand when you need to express yourself is an aquamarine crystal; it will never let you down when you need to make a point.
Violence
If you ever suffer from violent abuse, carry with you a bloodstone crystal, and you will seek the help you need to be able to walk away.
Magical crystals for the home
Clear quartz protects your home and your loved ones from unwanted negative energies.
Amethyst is calming and soothing. It brings peaceful and calming energies to the home. It helps those who have a little bit of a temper, and it brings relief to those who suffer from stress.
Citrine can bring abundance to the home, whether it be an abundance of love, happiness, and/or money. When worn, it can also help the young ones to retain the information they learn in school. Citrine also helps its wearers find the patience they need to confront uncomfortable situations.
Agates come in all colors and can bring out the courage necessary to stand up for yourself. Pink agate is for love; green agate is for money; brown agate is good for those who are trying to quit an addiction to something, such as cigarettes or alcohol; and blue agate is for healing. Agate is one of those crystals that you should always have in your home.
Rose quartz can help us find love, but it can also help us love ourselves above all—because if we don’t love who we are, then no one else will. Like amethyst, rose quartz can calm the beast in all of us if we place it under the pillow before bedtime.
Remember that crystals are a gift from nature. It is said that if everyone in the world wears or has a crystal in the home, the earth will regenerate from all we have taken away from her. If you are asking yourself, “Is this true?” —well, I certainly don’t doubt it!
