Merlin is my companion and my familiar. So, I figured that his name should be the title of this Witch's room. I'm going to post spells, both new and well used ones, and all kinds of information on the craft. I'm a 5th generation Witch, so I have a lot of older learning that I would love to pass on. Come in, have a cup of tea, pet my cat, and maybe learn something along the way

Healing with Crystals
Crystals are not hard to control once you know a few rules:
1. Size DOES NOT matter with them. A nice small crystal is as good as a huge one
2. Crystals must be kept in the sun. Not house light, or heaven's forbid...Fluorescent lights...But natural sunlight. Window sills are great for this!
3. All crystals must be cleansed before you use them. Either put them in salt for a few days, or soak them in salt water.
4. After use, always cleanse in salt and put back in the sun.
The size of the crystal isn't that important. I like a larger one for healing, and smaller ones adorn my window sills for protection. Most of the ones I bought I got at Michaels, or other hobby shops.
But, no matter what, they have to be kept in natural sunlight for as much of the day as possible. Even if you have to add a shelf to a nice sunny window and place them on it. Putting them away in a china cabinet isn't good for them, they become dead
Crystal's are special. Think of them as a type of animal. Their job is to sit in the sun, and dream the day away. During this dreaming, they can be used for healing, or just bringing luck. But they hate the dark!!!
Maybe because that is where they are first formed, in the dark inner spaces of the earth, and when they have the opportunity to see the sun, they relish it. (plus they are sooooo vain, they think they are super pretty in the sunlight....Which they are....But don't tell them that!!!!)
Also, this animal called a crystal, is a big pain in the ass!!!!! Once exposed to sunlight they tend to dream away the days....... And why should they help you if they are dreaming?
That's the whole secret to getting crystals to work for you. You have to treat them like a 2 year old. Threaten them with being locked in a dark closet for the rest of their lives, if they don't do what you ask. Or even worse....That you will bury them in the earth again....Deep!!!!!
If you want to use a crystal to help heal yourself or protect you, that's what you have to do to them first. Talk to them, even put them in a dark closet for a week, to let them know that you mean what you say. Then, and only then, will they do the work you ask of them.
For healing, after you threaten them, place the crystal at night while in bed, over the area you want healed. You can move it around to different area's, and chant HEAL while you hit the spots you want healed. Then picture their pure white light entering your body, and going after the bad and cleansing it away with pure light that turns the illness into dust!!! Then sleep with it that night, and in the morning return it to the window sill, thank it, and remind it that if they don't perform it's the dark, damp closet for it!!!
After a week of this, or even less if your really sick, cleanse the crystal in salt again, and let it rest in the sun for a few days, even a week, before you use it again.
Great information on crystals, thanks. The only thing I do different is I have to use "sea salt" it just seems more natural. Any time I am around any natural water of any kind I have a special crystal that I always dip. It has been dipped in California, Arkansas, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico,Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee and Nevada.
ReplyDeleteI just read Crystals r for Kids. It is wonderfully written in simple terms that most elementary kiddos should understand. This a wonderful introductary book for adults as well as long as you dont mind the childish undertone.
ReplyDeleteThis is great info. I've just started getting into crystals too. :)
