Crystals

Welcome to my Crystal page. It’s just amazing that we are now in the autumn and the year is nearly over. I love the changeover of the seasons. I hope September was a good month for you. For me it has been a period of change which as you know began the previous month. On this occasion I have not experienced confusion or sudden shifts but I have drawn new friends and have met up with a number of old ones. It has been an interesting and exiting month,

I particularly loved the energies that were building around the autumnal equinox (Mabon) preceding the Full moon. This is a great time to energise all my crystals. On the night of the full moon I love to take my crystals outside to bathe under the moonlight in order to soak up all the moons powerful energies. This is always a time where I draw forth the most deep and mysterious pearls of magical Intuition, make my wishes and sometimes spells. My crystals all appear so sparkly when I get them indoors the following day; I trust my inner knowing that they have all been fully energised.

Around the full moon is also the time when I particularly like the moon energy for my elixirs. These can be made quite simply by placing a small tumble stone of your choice (use caution here by checking that the crystals you are using are not harmful, some are toxic and some dissolve in water) into a small quartz crystal bowl. Ensure that the properties of the crystal you are using are suitable for the purpose intended. Also ensure that the crystal bowl and tumblestone have been cleansed previously. Pour mineral water over the crystal into the bowl. Then either place the entire bowl etc inside a crystal singing bowl or put clear quartz pints in a circle with their points directed towards the bowl. This is all done outside and left under the moonlight. Usually I cover it with a cloth to prevent insects or other foreign bodies contaminating it because you are leaving it outside overnight. I usually make a wish/affirmation or call in angels to help with my healing elixir.

In the morning after my elixir has been bathed in moonlight I bring it all in doors and pour the elixir into a clean dropper bottle. This is then kept in a fridge (if I am to use it up quickly) or a couple of drops of alcohol i.e. vodka can be added to it in order to preserve it for a longer time. You can use this elixir to squeeze a few drops into a glass of water to drink, or use it to put small drops on a person having crystal therapy, or even add it to a bath.

So there you have it, it’s so simple to make a special crystal elixir so why not try it and let me know your results 

Now what will October bring for you? I’m looking forward to this month, at the end of the month it is Halloween (Samhain) Happy Halloween x x

The beautiful crystal golden topaz reminds me of the fabulous colours of autumn, of the rich golden leaves.

Golden Topaz is an energy builder helping you feel energised and recharged which is good for this time of year when the light levels are low. On a physical level it clears energy blockages and aids tissue regeneration in muscles particularly for the lower back region. It also aids digestion and metabolism. On a spiritual level it helps with indecision and trepidation and blockages that cause procrastination. It can help lift low self esteem and fear of failure. An abundance and wealth stone, it is also a wish stone. It can be used to make a general good health elixir (call for archangel Uriel who serves the sixth ray or gold ray which is the ray of peace) and can be used for absent/distant healing. It helps with visualisation in meditation by keeping one calm and centred when placed on the solar plexus chakra (Manipura)
