Dear Friends,
Last week I shared with you some of the more commonly used stones that are used in rituals and spell working. Today, I’m going to share with you how to use these stones in your magick for the best outcome, as well as how you can use these stones to benefit you in your everyday life.
Now I must confess a small secret of mine. I am a gemstone junkie! Yes, I admit. Gemstones are one of my favorite sources of magick and I use them extensively. In fact, there is rarely a time when I am without a gemstone, and I often have more than one of them on my person at a time. I just can’t help myself. But the reason for my addiction is because they are so powerful and have such a positive and profound effect on my life.
Using Gemstones in Your Magick
Many spells and rituals call for the use of a gemstone. Even if they don’t, you can always incorporate a gemstone into your work to help increase the intensity of the spell. Some gemstones add a certain level of power to the spell. Others, like crystal quartz, can intensify the power of other magickal elements that you are using.
There are a variety of ways that you can use gemstones in your magick. They can be placed upon the altar, included in totem bags and even ground up for use in powders. The number of ways that you can use gemstones in your magick is about as extensive as the types of magick you can work.
When choosing the gemstones that you will use in magick, in my opinion it is best to find rough, uncut stones that remain in their completely natural state. This is however, just my opinion and if you find a cut and polished stone that speaks to you, you should of course use it in any way that you see fit. Do not forget to properly cleanse your stones of any negative energy before using them, and cleanse them regularly so that they remain working well.
Using Gemstones in Your Everyday Life
Gemstones are not only for use in your magick spells and rituals. You can also enjoy the benefits of these stones in your everyday life as well. The benefit of gemstones is that they can easily be carried anywhere and be kept on you at all times. If you have used them in a spell, you can continue to carry that gemstone with you to help the spell be more successful. Or, you can simply carry certain gemstones with you to enjoy the powers that they hold at any time.
For example, I myself carry an amulet that contains a number of different stones in it that help me to remain balanced and at peace. This amulet is inconspicuous, but gives me great comfort knowing it is there. I can carry it in my purse, or in my pocket, and at night I can simply slip it under my pillow. Of course, I also have various pieces of gemstone jewelry which I wear quite often that are made from stones that are quite powerful. To others, these are nothing more than pretty baubles. But I know the secret to those baubles and understand the strong power that they hold and provide to me when I wear them.
If you haven’t already experienced the benefits of gemstones and the power that they can add to your magick and your everyday life, I strongly encourage you to do so. Having a supply of various stones is beneficial because it allows to you complete a number of different spells from them and provides you with a source of power for almost any issue that you face.
Get yourself some gemstones today and start enjoying them not only for the natural beauty that they hold, but for the awesome power which they contain as well. I promise, you’ll be glad that you did and may too find yourself to be a gemstone junkie!
Brightest Blessings,
