TIME
THE SEASONS
The powerful effects of the seasons can also, according to some Earth magicians, subtly affect magickal workings. Traditionally, these types of magick are performed during these seasons:
SPRING A time for healing; purification spring cleaning is one survival of this); psychic awareness; paying bills; fertility; planting magickal gardens; & ecological rituals. Air magick.
SUMMER A time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magickal energy, physical energy, & strength. Fire magick.
AUTUMN A time for money, employment, new possessions (including cars & homes). Water magick.
WINTER A time for banishments of disease, habits & addictions, seeking past lives. This is a time for introspection, meditation, reading, & magickal exercises designed to renew the magician for the coming spring. Earth magick.
THE SUN
Some magicians may wait months for the sun to enter the proper sign of the Zodiac. This is fine for major workings but unrealistic for those who are working everyday magick. However, there are other solar cycles worth following... if you have the time. If not, don't wait.
SUNRISE Day begins as light stretches out from the eastern horizon. This is an excellent time to perform rituals involving purification, business success, study, employment, breaking addictions of all kinds, travel, releasing guilt & jealousy, healing diseases, & the conscious mind.
NOON The sun shines far above at full strength. This is fine for all sunrise ritual purposes, as well as those that involve magickal energy, physical energy & strength, protection, money & courage.
SUNSET The sun slips below the western horizon, signaling the time for breaking addictions, weight-loss, banishing misery & pain, transforming anguish & negative habits.
NIGHT The sun is out of sight. This is the drowsy time for beauty, dreams, psychic dreams, psychic awareness, spirituality, sleep, sex, purification, love, friendships, peace, releasing stress, healing wounds.
MOON
The moon waxes & wanes each month, rising an hour or so later during each twenty-four hour period. When it is full, it rises as the sun sets. There are different types of spells traditionally performed at the phases of the moon. More complicated patterns exist, relating to the specific day of each lunar month, but these methods are rarely followed today. The Moon's phases & the types of magick appropriate to them are:
WAXING MOON (From New to Full) When the Moon is waxing it is a time for beginnings, health & healing, psychic awareness, beauty, fertility & all positive magickal workings.
FULL MOON All positive magickal spells are performed beneath the potent glow of the Full Moon, including protection, love, healing, purification, psychic awareness, money & travel.
WANING MOON (From Full to New) This is the time for banishments of habits, addictions, disease & negative thoughts. jealousy, guilt, & hurts are released under the waning Moon. The old is swept away to make room for the new.
SPECIAL TIMES
LIGHTNING STORMS are periods of intense energy. All spells cast during storms will be empowered by them, and may prove to be more effective. Protection rituals are ideal at these times.
RAINSTORMS are fine for purification, love, compassion, friendship, beauty rituals, & releasing guilt & jealousy.
SNOWSTORMS are the time for gentle magick, purification, & stilling emotions. release unrequited love.
HEAVY WINDS empower rites designed to break addictions, assist study, & travel spells.
SEARING HOT DAY charge rites of protection, courage, & energy.
SOLAR & LUNAR ECLIPSES are dramatic moments both for their observers as well as for magicians. In the past, magicians were urged not to perform magick during eclipses. Today, many natural magicians use the suggestive power of an eclipse to fuel spells involving banishments, including the destruction of disease. These have been some timing suggestions. Let them be guides, not shackles!
METEOR SHOWERS are a great time for powers which require help from above as well as a lot of power.
RAINBOWS are great for balancing, repairing, healing, protection and anything to do with Chakras. It is a time of great power.
HOURS
Many celebrations in history began or ended at a specific time because of the potent symbolism that time evoked for the participants, or because of other associated astrological influences.
Morning-
Daylight hours are best for matters of the conscious mind, including magic for leadership, intelligence and all cognitive functions. The Sun is a welcome friend to chase any shadows that may be hiding in our lives. It is regarded as a beneficial sign of divine blessing when it shines on any special occasion. Mystical pursuits during daylight hours can be empowered when combined with a southerly wind.
Night-
The intuitive, emotional self, maternal nature, healing, fertility, and Moon magic area all part of the charm of the night. Wishing on stars, dreams, the eternal nature of the spirit, and ancient mysteries come into play once the Sun has set. If your observance can incorporate the west wind, all the better. This breeze is filled with flowing water and peacefulness.
Dawn-
Beginning any ritual, spell or celebration at dawn commemorates a new beginning, freshens, warmth and renewed hope. An especially potent time for Spring observances. Magic performed at dawn can also be accentuated by working with an easterly wind, blowing from the horizon where the Sun rises.
Dusk-
Closing and ending are the messages dusk brings. But this finality is not without promise. Dusk marks a temporary change toward darkness. It is a time to look within oneself and ponder universal truths. It is an excellent time to perform rites which mark the passage of a loved one, intense personal transitions, or to mark the end of any cycle. Magic performed at dusk is aided by the northerly wind, which is cool, brining heated matters to rest and an opportunity to reconsider our actions.
Midnight and Noon-
Commonly called the "in-between" hours (or "tween-times"), hanging between night and day. The most active times for elemental creatures such as the fairy folk and disincarnate spirits. Excellent for all magic pertaining to positive modifications in your life, endings and beginnings.
The specific hours of the day also have magical associations in many cultures. Following is a brief summary of some of these:
1 a.m. - The first hour of a new day. Focus is on wholeness of self and the banishing of any shadows.
2 a.m. - Ridding partnerships or relationships of negativity.

BLACK
Intense concentration of all colors(or lack of them all), it absorbs light. Unlike other
colors, black reflects very little, if any, light back to the viewer. This can give
the false impression that black is the absence of colour. It is actually the absence
of color reflection. Think of this color as a black hole in space. It absorbs all
light with little or no reflection back, thus it becomes a receptacle or a transporter
for all that you do not need or want. Properly used, it can be one of the most
useful and powerful colors available. However, misused, it can cause disaster.
Associations:
Planet: Saturn
Day: Saturday
Energy: Female
Colors: Dark blues, Black, Dark Browns and most dark colors
Used For: Meditation rituals, uncrossing rituals and spells to banish evil
and negativity, to break up a blocked or stagnant situation. The Crone, the
unconscious.
Black: Use in rituals to induce a deep meditative state, or to banish evil or negativity as in uncrossing rituals; attracts Saturn energy.
Magickal Purpose: Absorption, why it is used for funerals. The void of all colors, it has the ability to absorb Quiet power, self-control, restriction, depression sickness, but new changes, rebirth. Wisdom, Control, Resilience, Discipline.
Personality: Someone who often dwells in his own dark recesses.A loner, but through choice. A strong silent type but someone you don't want to deal with if crossed. A night person as the darkness seems to be their safe place, their solace and quiet space. The things that make the "black" person unique, has also the tendency to dwell on things and has more bouts of depression than most others. This person tends to keep a lot of secrets.
Magickal Uses: Banishing negative thoughts and situations, reversing, uncrossing, binding negative forces, releasing, removing confusion, contact with spirits, dark magick, defensive spells (can be used with RED to increase intent).

[+More+Colour+Correspondences+]
Blue-Blue transforms violence, anger, and hate. It soothes and cools. It
gives peace, calm, harmony, satisfaction, bliss, oneness, and understanding of the
spiritual realms. It is predominately feminine in energy, and is ruled by
either the Moon, Venus, or Saturn, depending on the hue. Many consider the Royal Blues
as belonging to the male energies of Jupiter. It is up to you to experiment and
decide which works best for you.
Associations:
Planet: Moon, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter
Day: Monday, Friday, Saturday, Thursday
Energy: Female (sometimes male when used with Jupiter/Thursday)
Colors: Blue Whites/ Moon, Blues/ Venus, Dark Blues/ Saturn, Royal
Blue/Jupiter
Used for: Magick that involves honour, loyalty, peace, tranquility, truth,
wisdom, protection during sleep, astral projection and spells to induce prophetic
dreams.
Gold-The male half of the Cosmic or Universal Life Force, God-sun energy.
Intelligent action or action motivated by deliberation and knowledge,
usually with healing, money, or wealth in mind. Gold is related to orange and yellow, in
that it is a higher vibration of these two colors and any one of the three can actually
be used on Sunday (sun) with success. The choice here is for you to experiment
and decide which colour best suits your particular needs. Generally speaking,
orange vibrates to physical and mental action, while yellow vibrates to mental
action only (better attributed to Wednesday/Mercury). Lastly, gold would be indicative of
intelligent, quick action with a monetary emphasis.
Associations:
Planet: Sun
Day: Sunday
Energy: Male
Colors: Gold
Used for : Spells to attract the power of cosmic influences, and rituals to
honor solar deities, to heal and rejuvenate your being, attracting happy, active
people into your life, to expedite money you know is coming to you, to impart
energy and intelligence to take proper action in a monetary situation.
Gray-This color is unique, due to its aspect of neutrality. Gray can be used
to neutralize anything from a magickal act that not longer serves your best
interest, to the neutralization of destructive energies in a passive non-karmic
fashion. It is a perfect balance of black and white, and therefore absorbs and repels. With
this quality, gray draws in the undesirable energies and then sends them out to
the universe for dispersal as neither a destructive nor constructive properties.
Associations:
Planet: Moon
Day: Monday
Energy: Female and Male
Colors: Gray
Used for :To erase, cancel, neutralize, and return to the universe without
repercussion, to eradicate or jumble destructive forces, to attract neither
destructive nor constructive energies to your life (this includes people and
situations).
Green-Green really does bring the luck in cases of money. But be very clear
in your intent regarding money sought with this color. If done with haste and no
specific intent it seems to fade quickly or trickle in a little at a time, just
enough to wet your appetite (refer to gold or brown). Green stimulates growth, plant life
or garden fairies. Green is an Earth color and is used on Friday. Depending
upon the magickal system you employ, it may be used on Wednesday as it is a healing
day as well. Green used on Friday gives an emotional healing (matters of the
heart), while Wednesday emphasizes healing knowledge.
Associations:
Planet: Venus, Mercury
Day: Friday, Wednesday
Energy: Female or Male

red/Mars (action-engery). Thus you have the best of both worlds, the energies of the
actions of red, yet the intelligence to know how to use this action. The over
aggressive nature of the colour red/Mars is now toned and tapered with the healing
wisdom rays of yellow/Mercury that nurtures the entire system. Sunday is the best
day for the use of the color orange. It can be used on Tuesday or Wednesday with
success, depending on your magickal goals. If used on Tuesday, the emphasis

something in a big way, this is the color to us. Purple expands anything you desire,
i.e.., spirituality, business, money, health or love. The royal blues are less
expansive, dealing more with the emotional and spiritual levels of Jupiter. Therefore,
the royal or dark blues of often attributed to Saturn. A word of caution,
however: if you do not already have the items of your desire, do not use Jupiter.

discernment to avoid disastrous results. The shade of red used or considered
in your magickal act will be of extreme importance here. Stay with the lighter,
brighter shades of red and leave the darker shades for the more experienced

CRYSTAL
A crystal is a body that is formed by the solidification of a chemical element, a compound, or a mixture of them, and has a regularly repeating internal arrangement of its atoms and often external plane faces. But it's more than that. A crystal is one of the many bounties of the Earth's crust. They are a powerful tool and correspond directly to the element of Earth, but also the Air, Fire and Water. Each crystal has it's own vibration and thus each vibration corresponds to a correspondences such as healing, protection, relaxation etc. Because each crystal does have a vibration, a larger crystal is not any more powerful than a smaller one. A larger one might look butter, but not everyone has the means for such a thing.
Several crystals have the same correspondences, but, to chose which one you want you must first have a look at all those crystals without touching them. See which one has an effect on you. N0w, when the crystal has been chosen, or when the crystal has chosen you, you must individually have a look at the crystals, Separate the ones which you like from the ones you don't like just by having a look at them. Then, pick up each crystal in you receptive hand, opposite to the powerhand, so if you are right handed it's your left hand, and close your hand into a gentle fist. Feel the crystals pulse, it should be like a gentle drum rhythm, it could be very fast, or slow. You will feel wether the crystal is right for you, or not. The crystals vibration will complement yours and act like a 'lock and key' to your aura in the sense that they will blend. The crystal will let you know if it is not for you.
A newly bought crystal should be cleansed. This could be as long as a whole moon phase, with elemental cleansings, or just a simple mental cleansing. Before buying that particular crystal, it would have been touched my many people, and been next to many people who might have been upset, angry, sad etc. So this may effect you. To cleanse, it could simply be a dip in salty water, being buried over night in the ground, gone through crystal cleansing incense (or frankincense, sandalwood or just about anything for that matter, maybe even a herbal blend for the crystals purpose), being placed on a bed of quartz crystal, being passed through a flame, fairly quickly, being brushed with a feather, being placed overnight in moon light, or sunlight. Be careful because some crystals fade or lose colour from being held in the sun, some even disolve in water, or may react with the candle flame, so be careful.
**********************************************
Here is a cleansing incense, created with a friend:
Incense to cleanse and consecrate ritual jewellery:
2 parts wood aloe
1 part mace (the outside covering of nutmeg)
1 part gum arabic
1 part benzoin
Grind the ingredients together and burn in a censer or an earthenware saucer. Pass crystals and jewellery through the smoke several times visualising the fumes purifying the object. Best performed outside for the practical fact of smoke alarms.
And another one, with the same person:
Incense to cleanse and consecrate crystals
Crystal Purification Incense
2 parts Frankincense
2 parts Copal
1 part Sandalwood
1 part Rosemary
1 pinch finely powdered Salt
1 sm. purified Quartz Crystal point
To use, pour a bit of the incense (leaving the crystal in the jar) onto charcoal. Smolder, and pass the crystals to be purified through the smoke, visualizing the smoke wafting away the stone's impurities. This incense can be used in conjunction with other recommended purifying rituals, or in place of them.
Once cleansed, the crystal should be 'programmed' or charged. To do this, hold the crystal in your projective hand (for all intensive purposes its the hand you write with) and focus on the need, be it healing, relaxing, and so on. Your vibration should bond further with the crystal, which bonded with you when you bought it. Soon you may feel the crystal remember the vibration of the healing energy, relaxing energy etc. This means it has been successfully charged.

CRYSTAL
Placement
The mere fact that crystals are placed in an environment suggests to the subconscious mind that healing, on some subliminal
level, has already begun. When crystals are placed in a room, they will automatically charge that area with energy. They will
also absorb and ionize that energy in the area which is negative. The clearing, focusing, radiating beauty aspects of a crystal, work regardless if someone is aware of these traits or not. These are the amazing elements of a crystal's power. To disperse this energy outward is one of its true gifts. It is even more astonishing when we are aware of it!
Pouches
Crystal Pouches are one of the most interesting and oldest remedies. Usually a perscription of 2 - 4 crystals, these complementary stones are carried or worn on the person or placed in a certain area. This perscription can be used for anything from healing to psychic awareness, healing an emotional wound as in
discouragement or sorrow, or bringing about such aspects as love, money, protection, guidance, spiritual attunment, strenght or even addiction.
The"combination" of crystals work together and can be carried in your pocket, purse or bag, placed in a room or under your pillow or taken any place that
you need more energy! Remember: these are tools for attunement and
may allow you to see many truths. It is up to you to pay attention.
Shapes
Stones are rocks with shapes and you can use them for any ritual
Stones are rocks with shapes and you can use them for any ritual. The following is a list of stone shapes and how the shape of a crystal can influence its properties, enhance, or diminish them.
Holey Stones :
Stones with natural ( caused by the elements not man) holes are considered extremely magical. Protective in nature they are a symbolic of the Mother of Creation. Looking through the hole in the moonlight, and you may see visions, ghosts, and other nonphysical entities.
Diamond Shaped Stones :
Diamond shaped stones remind of the precious gem , and therefore are attributed with attracting riches.
Pyramid Shaped Stones:
Concentrate and release energies up through the tip. Placing a dollar bill under the stone and visualizing the moneys energy flow up and through the stone to bring you prosperity.
Body Part Shaped Stones:
Stones that resemble body parts are used to heal or strengthen that part of the body it resembles.
L shaped stones:
Stones that have an L shape are used to bring good fortune.
Triangular Shaped Stones :
Stones that have a triangular shape are said to be protective and are worn or carried for this purpose.
Heart Shaped Stones:
Heart shaped stones as you might have guessed are used to bring love to the person wearing the stone. They also are used for keeping the relationship you are in true. And can be used to bring a self love .
Square Shaped Stones:
Symbolize the Earth, Prosperity ,and abundance.
Egg Shaped Stones :
Stones that hold the shape of the egg are used to help maintain focus on creativity and bring fresh ideas to the person wearing the stone.
Round And Long Stones:
Round and long stones are used in conjunction with other love stones to bring added power to the spell.
Long, Thin Stones:
These stones are obvious phallic symbols. They are protective and represent electricity and represent the great God of Pagan religions.
Round Stones:
These stones represent the receptive powers of the universe, of magnetism and the Mother Goddess. Linked with the female reproductive system, they can be used to represent the woman in a healing spell. They are the keys to spirituality and unfolding your psychic powers. Used in love spells and all manners of attraction spells.
-----------------------
Herbal Healing Kit
My basic healing kit consists of one tumbled stone or cabochon for each chakra, plus two clear quartz crystals, one piece of calcite and two black stones such as hematite or black tourmaline. The stones I will talk about here are easy to find and will serve you well. They are the stones I generally recommend for the colour meditation which will be added later. However, if you cannot find one of the stones in this section, substitute it with another stone from the list below each chakra. I have tried to include only stones which are readily available in most crystal stores. The specific metaphysical and healing properties of these stones can be found in either volume 1 or 2 of The Crystal Workbook.
When you choose your stones, bear in mind that they will be placed on the body, either your own or someone else's. Try and find stones that have a flat side so they will not roll off at a crucial time. Choose cabochons if you can. A cabochon is a stone which has been cut and polished, usually in an oval or circular shape with a domed top and flat base. (They are generally used in jewellery such as rings to sit flat against the skin in their metal settings.)
Always place the stones upon the body from the first chakra up, then add the additional stones to the hands and below the feet. When you remove the stones at the completion of the healing session, do so in the reverse order.
Here are the stones I recommend for a basic healing kit. I have added a bit of extra information on the shape of the crystal as there are a few you can find in their natural form.
First, Root or Base Chakra: Smoky Quartz
Colour: Light brown to almost black
Choose: Tumbled stone, cabochon or natural crystal
Smoky quartz will initiate the movement of the primal forces of the body. As soon as it is placed upon the body, its energy will signify that a healing is about to take place. On placing the smoky quartz on the body, the first stirrings of Universal Energy will take place. Smoky quartz will draw the energy up from the earth mother and begin to send it through the chakra system towards the crown. As soon as the stone is placed upon the person it will not only begin the process of healing, but its mildly sedative and calming energy will put the person into a relaxed state and dissolve any tension or anxiety they feel about what is about to happen. Smoky quartz is also a grounding stone, which means that its energy will keep people stable and aware throughout the process of the healing and prevent them from feeling spaced out. It will also assist them in remembering the process once it is completed.
Smoky quartz is a good stone to use to strengthen the internal organs of the body, especially the adrenals, kidneys and pancreas. It increases fertility and balances sexual energy and also lifts depression. It is a good stone for people who exhibit suicidal feelings, fatigue and stress or tension, and it enhances dream awareness.
If you use a natural smoky quartz as the first chakra stone, it will most probably have a point. Make sure that the point is placed upwards, pointing towards the belly.
Alternative Stones for the First Chakra: Black tourmaline, hematite, red jasper, garnet, black, mahogany or snowflake obsidian, red quartz.
Second, Naval, Sacral or Sexual Chakra: Carnelian
Colour: Deep Orange
Choose: Tumbled stone or cabochon
Carnelian is a highly evolved healing stone and its main purpose is for regeneration of all aspects of the Being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. When carnelian is placed upon the body it purifies negative energies and provides a calming energy to enable the person to ready themselves for the healing to take place. Carnelian also revitalises, injects a feeling of emotional warmth and joy and assists with concentration and focus. It will allow the healing to manifest on all levels, including the physical plane. It is a variety of chalcedony which is also a member of the quartz family, so it is ideal in assisting the smooth flow of Universal Energy which begins with the placing of smoky quartz. Because it is such a joyous stone, it assists with the optimism and faith of the person, lifts gloom and despondency and soothes irritation.
Carnelian is an excellent stone for people who have experienced a form of abuse, whether it be sexual, physical, emotional or mental (or any combination of these). It is particularly good for remembering childhood memories, positive and negative, and is one of the primary stones for past life exploration. Because many current life issues stem from past lives, it is an obvious stone to use in a crystal healing.
Carnelian is good to use for energising the blood, kidneys, lungs, liver, gall bladder and mental bodies. It also assists in stimulating a deeper love and appreciation for the beauty and gifts of the earth and the physical plane.
Alternative Stones for the Second Chakra: Dark coloured amber, red coral, crocoite, sunstone.
Third or Solar Plexus Chakra: Tiger Eye
Colour: Golden yellow
Choose: Tumbled stone or cabochon
Tiger eye enhances personal power. When this stone is placed upon the body it gives a feeling of strength to the person and the belief that they can undertake the necessary searching and make the necessary changes to enable the healing to take place. This is important because the person needs to feel that the healing is taking place because of their own efforts and not because you are doing something to them. Tiger eye carries the energy of emotional balance and removes fears. It is therefore useful for people who may have doubts about the healing process and a lack of belief that healing will take place. Sometimes the lack of belief may manifest in stubbornness and the tiger eye will soften this feeling and allow the belief to come through. Tiger eye is a very highly spiritually evolved stone and builds a firm foundation for spiritual expansion. Because all metaphysical healing is rooted in spiritual practise, it is the idea third chakra stone. Its added benefits are its grounding qualities and its ability to assist the person in centering themselves and focusing on the task ahead.
Tiger eye benefits the spleen, pancreas, digestive organs and colon. It is therefore an excellent stone for people who carry a lot of anger, often the basic cause of dis-ease.
Alternative Stones for the Third Chakra: Yellow amber, citrine, yellow fluorite, pyrite, golden topaz
Fourth or Heart Chakra (Rose Quartz)
Colour: Green or Pink
Choose: tumbled stone, cabachon, polished piece or natural rough stone.
Rose Quartz has a dynamic intensity and healing power. A healer for internal wounds. Aids kidneys and circulatory system. Increases fertility. Helps clear stored anger, resentment, guilt, fear, jealousy. Reduces stress and tension, cools temper. Enhances self confidence and creativity. Promotes love, forgiveness, compassion. It is often called the 'love stone'. When healing with or wearing rose quartz, be prepared for emotional releases and the surfacing of suppressed memories and feelings.
Use a tumbled stone, a cabachon or shaped and polished stone, or a small piece of natural rose quartz rock.
Alternative Stones for the Fourth Chakra: Pink or green aventurine, moss agate, rhodonite, rhodocrosite, green jasper.
Fifth or Throat Chakra (Blue Lace Agate)
Colour: Light blue
Choose: tumbled stone or other polished piece.
Blue lace agate helps to open and expand consciousness. Enhances creativity and confident statement. Calming to the mind, soothing to the emotions. Encourages communication, wisdom, patience, peace, kindness, honesty. Influences thyroid, nervous system. Strengthens a sense of calm centredness to help in social situations. Discourages nervous habits. Useful for building confidence in public speaking. It is also excellent for cooling hot tempers and relieving stress. Can be carried or worn when you want to maintain calm. Good for neutralising energies such as anger, infection, inflammation and fever. Opens the throat chakra for other stones to be used to express higher wisdom.
Alternative stones for the Fifth Chakra: Holly blue agate, blue fluorite, aquamarine, blue topaz.
Sixth or Third Eye Chakra (Amethyst)
Colour: Purple or Dark Blue
Choose: natural point, tiny cluster, tumbled stone, faceted stone, shaped piece.
Amethyst enhances right brain activity. Blood cleanser and energiser. Assists purification and regeneration; cuts through illusion. One of the best stones to use for meditation, it has a calming mental effect. Use for overworked, overstressed and overwhelmed mental states. Especially good for people suffering from recurrent nightmares. Will help clear and transform energies in the environment where it is placed. Will help to release unbalanced energies. Also helps you understand your dreams. Amethyst has strong protective qualities and will enhance psychic abilities and spiritual awareness. Balances and soothes an over-active mind. Mythology says that Amethyst helps us remain sober - it is the stone that Bacchus used to cure his drunkenness. Amethyst can also be utilised for cleansing other crystals and stones, by placing them on an amethyst cluster. Strengthens endocrine and immune system and is useful in the treatment of emotional/mental disorders, nervous disorders and easing pain. As an elixir it is useful for easing the pain of arthritis. Faceted stones are really good for energy focus and need not be large.
Alternative stones for the Sixth Chakra: Lapis lazuli, sodalite, charoite, strombolite, purple fluorite, azurite.
Seventh or Crown Chakra (Clear Quartz Crystal)
Colour: Clear or Purple
Choose: Natural point, tumbled stone, polished shape, cabachon.
Quartz crystals reflect pure white light that can be channeled into daily thoughts, feelings, words and actions. By touching, wearing, using or meditating with these crystals, one can work with that light in a physical form. Enhances crystalline properties of blood, body and mind. Emotional balancer. Stimulates brain functions. Receives, activates, stores, transforms, transmits and amplifies energy. Excellent for meditation. The most easily programmed of all crystals and healing stones, because of its crystal shape and flat faceted points and sides, and the most useful of healing stones. A cluster in a room can transmit healing energies. Emotional balancer, dispels negativity, amplifies thought forms. Use clear quartz crystals for contacting your guides and for interdimensional communication. Beneficial to the whole body but especially the pineal and pituitary glands.
Preferably use a natural point - a small one is fine. Use with the point towards the crown chakra if possible.
Alternative stones for the Seventh Chakra: Selenite, Calcite, Amethyst (points only).
