Crystals

Crystals, while not inherently part of witchcraft, have been used for centuries in all cultures around the world, either for adornment or magickal purposes such as protection, divination, and amplifying energy. These are the most common crystal associations, but by no means is this an exhaustive list of all crystals and their common correspondences. Try meditating with a crystal to see what energies you pick up—they may differ from the regular association. Clear Quartz, the “Mother of Crystals,” can substitute all other crystals as well as amplify the power of other crystals when used alongside them.

The Spells | CORRESPONDENCES

Elements and cardinal directions

These are the traditional associations, but if these don’t seem to make much sense to you and where you live, consider changing them. For example, if you live in an area with lots of wind coming from the north, then change the cardinal directions so they suit you.

• A note about the southern hemisphere: some people like to flip all the associations of the directions (meaning east and west are also flipped) whereas some only swap north and south. Again, it is entirely up to you and what makes most sense to you.

ELEMENTAL MAGICK TIMING

EARTH Slowest element, growing and moving with time

AIR Moves freely, often related to thoughts, ideas

FIRE Fastest element, burning, releases energy almost instantly, not usually long-lasting

WATER Slow and steady, often related to emotion or life energy

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE

NORTH Earth

EAST Air

SOUTH Fire

WEST Water

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

NORTH Fire

EAST Air

SOUTH Earth

WEST Water

Herbs and plants

Herbs and plants are not only important in everyday life but have been used across cultures both for eating and spiritual matters. Please be cautious when using plants or herbs—research each one before using it, especially when ingesting it (a lot of plants are toxic) and be aware of any possible allergic reactions before using any herb or plant.
