Calling a new friend crystal grid

TOOLS Agate | Blue Lace Agate | Moonstone | Clear Quartz | Rhodochrosite | Rose Quartz (or crystal chips or tumbled stones associated with friendship, see correspondences for Crystals) | Any extra tokens of your choosing

To call a new friend into your life, set up this crystal grid, which is intended to draw in opportunities that will lead to meeting new people and finding a true friend. Of course, no spell will make a friend for you—that part is still up to you.

Start by cleansing your crystals. Pick a spot where this grid can stay for at least a week, such as a special tray on a windowsill or a shelf, as having crystals in direct sunlight for too long can damage them. Begin your grid by positioning three crystals in the shape of an upward triangle—this shape is often used as a “spirit trap,” but in this case is a window to call in a friend. You can use more crystals to expand on the triangle and add extra elements such as dried flowers or shells. Consider also incorporating strings or pictures into your grid, along with any tokens that may remind you of specific traits that you are looking for in a friend. Simply be creative and try to let your intuition guide you. Speak intuitively about all you are looking for in a friendship, or say the words:

I call into my life a true friend to join me in adventures, happy times, and to share with them loyalty, truth, and trust, to console when needed and to uplift one another, so mote it be.

Then sit in meditation, and visualize yourself with a friend, how you may meet them, how you might become friends, and the adventures or peaceful moments you could spend together. Try to put yourself in these future moments, to truly feel them. You can repeat this meditation as often as you like, or until you’ve found a new friend.

Friends bracelet knot spell

TOOLS 3 lengths of thread, arm’s length, for each friend (pick colors intuitively) | Tokens such as bells, charms, crystal beads, or even taglocks (see tip)

Weaving a bracelet to represent a friendship is one of those spells that many people perform without realizing it is a spell. Here, you are intentionally weaving protection, love, and happiness into bracelets.

Sit together with your chosen friends in a circle, and start by holding hands and feeling the energy pass between you. When ready, take your own threads and pass them to your friend (if there are more than two of you, pass them along clockwise). They will make your bracelet and you will make theirs. Weave the positive intentions, luck, happiness, and protection you wish for them into the bracelet. Add any tokens you wish, and then tie it together around the wrist or ankle of your friend. When you’ve made all the bracelets hold hands once more and say the words:

As friends we are connected, in mind as in soul, may we always be there for one another, so mote it be.
