Crystals, Gems and Stones:
There are a few things that you should remember when working with stones
and gems. All
gems and stones should be cleansed and empowered. note: empowered simply
means to
instill some of your own energy into the stone. This means sit with it in
your hand and
envision what you wish from the stone or what you will use the stone for
at some point
___________________________________________________________________________
To cleanse the stone it is best to either place the stone in a stream of
natural water from a
lake or simply hold them under a faucet. Moonlight and sunlight are the
best cleansers.
_________________________________________________________________________
Wear gems and stones as close to the body as possible. Place them in a
pocket or wear
them on a string around your neck close to your heart. Always remember the
size of the stone is not important.
____________________________________________________________________________
Gems and stones can also be placed on magickal tools, as well, with glue
or wire. Some
beautiful pieces can be made such as goblets, Tarot boxes, wands,
baskets, and herb
containers.
