The Best Crystals For... Part 1 🤍

🧿

This post is for anyone who needs protection. As you cut chords, it can be worrisome and create anxiety. You are protected, cared for, and loved by the universe. No one can cause you harm going forward, and your ancestors or guides will take care of them.

Wishing stones

Wishing stones are very similar to hag stones in term of propreties, but are very different. They are normal stones (usually gray) with one or more lighter lines on it that are sometimes white. Like this:

They are very lucky and finding one might mean that something positive is coming your way! They are sedimentary rocks, so they can be found pretty much everywhere in the canadian shield or in mountains. They are called wishing stones because according to old native american traditions, holding one in both hands while thinking really hard of your wish, than burying it into the earth would make your wish come true! The best aprt of it is that you can reuse it. When your wish has come true, you can take it out of the earth, cleanse it and make another wish.

Using wish stones in your craft

Use wishing stones in any ritual relating with luck and prosperity! Bath rituals, spells, anything! You can put a small stone into a little bag with some cinnamon and rosemary, and there you have a luck pouch that you can bring with you everywhere you go! Sedimentary stones are all usually very protective, so you can place a wishing stone on your altar and won't have to make a protection chant. They can make your warding so much more effective and stronger! A wishing stone with more than one line can cleanse a smaller crystal if you place it near it for a few hours. They can contain alot of energy so it dosen't need as much cleansing as other crystals. The most effective way of cleansing these stones are burying them in the earth for a day, then washing of the dirt and soil.

Simple spell to make a wish come true

Material:

- Green or gold candle

- Wishing stone

- Anything else you would like to add (lucky herbs like cinnamon, rosemary, peppermint for exemple)

Light the candle and whisper to it your wish. Wave the wishing stone over the candle and whisper to it your wish again. Snuff out the candle because you don't want to blow away your intentions. Hold the stone in both of your hands and imagine your wish coming true. Put the stone away in an unbothered place until the wish has come true.

Have we learned nothing?? Is it not called "getting your rocks off" for a reason sire?

Stop assigning genders to the the sun and moon, you freaks! They are just rocks. Sexy sexy rocks, but rocks nonetheless

Yuh get into it

Warding

I've covered warding recently in my protection post. But here I will go into more detail on what warding is, the most popular ways to ward and how to create them as well as when to know when a ward is no longer useful or has been broken. I will also go into baneful warding and what it is.

What is warding?

Warding is a form of defensive magick which acts as your first line of defense against negativity. Be this baneful magick from another practitioner or negative entities and general negative energy. There are multiple ways to ward with each practitioner warding differently to the other. Wards come in all shapes and forms, and there is no limit as to how much warding you should do, you protect yourself as you see fit.

What is baneful warding?

Baneful warding is a form of warding in which the negative that hits a ward gets sent back to its source. Baneful warding is seen as a more "advanced" form of magick, however not too advanced for a novice to do with the appropriate amount of research. Baneful warding can come in the same forms as normal warding would.

Warding jars

Perhaps one of the most common wardings on this post, warding jats usually contain ingredients charged with the intention of warding. These ingredients usually range from herbs to bodily fluids such as saliva or blood. These jars are either buried on the practitioners property, left above entryway, left on an altar, or are carried with the practitioner when they want protection on the go.

A warding jar might contain: ashes of a warding sigil, bodily fluids, herbs and plants, crystals, bones, warding or protection oils, spices, metals, glass shards etc. These jars are then sealed with black or white wax (or are sealed in any other way, with glue, tape or simply just with intention).

When a warding jar is broken, you might find the contents of the jar to become moldy, the jar shatters, the seal might break or the contents of the jar to go off, you also might feel that the jar no longer has its power. When this happens, if the jar is intact, break the seal and empty the contents into the bin/trash or return them back to the earth. You can then cleanse the jar with your preferred method of cleansing and reuse the jar for another ward or spell.

Talismans and symbols

Talismans are objects which are charged with the intention fo protection or warding. A well known example would be the Nazar, known to ward off the evil eye.

Symbols are used to represent something or represent an intention example would be the pentacle/pentagram, a well known protection symbol. Another example could by the Eye of Horus, a symbol used by the Ancient Egyptians for protection, health and restoration.

You can create your own talismans and symbols to aid in warding. These might be used to ward against a specific thing, or can be used as a general ward to all negativity.

A talisman or symbol might break or feel like they're no longer useful once theyve done thier job. If this time comes, you can simply dispose of the old one and create a new one.

Sigils

Sigils are created and can be programmed with any purpose necessary. May this be warding ot cursing, they can be used for almost any working.

Sigils can be burnt to activate them, with the ashes being used in spells to add extra power. Sigils can be put up around your house or around your room for warding. These sigils can look like anything, simply draw them with the intention of warding.

Crystals

Crystals can be placed above entryways or in windows to act as a ward. Crystals can also be added to spells to give a desired effect or worn as jewellery to act as warding or protection on the go.

Some examples are: black obsidian, black tourmaline, clear quartz, amethyst, hematite.

When a crystal ward has been broken, the crystal might shatter, or go missing. Or you may feel the crystals energy feels different than usual. With crystals you cam simply cleanse and recharge the crystals to be used again!

Spells

Warding spells can be as simple as a dressed candle, or can be a complex ritual. Warding spells differ from practitioner to practitioner. Similar to warding jars, these spells might include the use of herbs, bodily fluids, crystals, plants etc. The methods of creating a warding spell vary, as there is no one way to create one.

When a ward breaks down, you might feel the ward break, or if it does what is intended, you might feel something bounce off the ward. Depending on the negativity sent your way, the ways in which you might feel a warding spell break down vary, this could range from feeling sluggish or nauseous to downright feeling psychic attack. (Whenever this happens, please consult a doctor, mundane before magical. What you may feel is a magical occurrence could be explained by illness, so please consult a doctor of you feel this way constantly)

Warding is a great form of protection which is used very often in a persons practice. While not all practitioners use warding, this is just to inform you of the ways you can ward to keep yourself safe in your practice!
