How Stones and Crystals Work
Crystal are a naturally occurring form of each element, whereby the basic structure of the atoms
contained within the Crystal are absolutely perfectly aligned, creating a perfect lattice, the
most compact form that the elements of the Crystal can form. Although the atomic structure of
Crystals wasn't discerned until this century, people have long been drawn to the forms of
Crystal that can be found, either for their beauty or how they feel to the touch. Tis only natural then
that with having these Crystals around them that those sensitive to their power
would begin to work out what they could be used for.
Crystals have the property of trying to instil order into whatever place they are put (look
at the most accurate clocks and watches, they all make use of the property of most crystals that they
will always attempt to return to their most stable state after being disturbed, in the case of a quartz
watch by returning to it's stable state after being exposed to a piezzo electric current!), so
handling or being surrounded by Crystals will always have a beneficial effect.

However if a skeptical, completely close-minded person held a stone in their hands, their
personal beliefs would step in...completely shielding them from feeling the effects of the stone,
even if their body could feel it on a physical level. Belief is certainly a part of Crystal
Magick, therefore if you don't believe in it, or refuse to believe in the supernatural...for one...
why are you here? And secondly, it won't work for you.
The more in tune you are with your own Spiritual side (the more balanced you have
allowed your Rational and Intuitive sides to become) the more I personally believe you will
be able to gain from those powers inherent in all that surrounds us! In the end, it is completely
up to you whether you will allow yourself the benefit of belief and the ability to utilize the powers
that your belief then opens to you!
How to use a Crystal's Power
However you find of use to yourself! There are many different methods, ranging from just placing
crystals within your environment (anything from a quartz next to your computer to soak up the
electronic 'gunk' that emanates from it - through to placing them around your work place in the
belief that they will help to bring peace and harmony to that area), meditating with the
stone resting upon your body (allowing your awareness to connect with the attributes of
the stone, thus inviting them into your life), through carrying one around with you (with
the belief that you will draw upon it's energy and attributes as and when necessary) and
meditating within a crystal field (placing crystals around your body whilst meditating, to help
clear the Chakras and for other attributes too) to using them as a part of a Spell (casting
a Spell upon the Stone to empower it into a Talisman of sorts, bringing the attributes of the
Spell to any that carry it with them!) I have heard of making Crystal Water, by soaking the
crystal in pure spring water for 24 hours, preferably where it can be charged by Sun and Moon
light, BUT please take great care when planning to drink this water,
making sure that there are no soluble parts within the Crystal which may result in you being
poisoned by this water! I'd also advise checking that the Crystal/stone
will not be damaged by prolonged exposure to water!

These are only suggested uses, the uses they are commonly used for.
If you are allergic (yes it's possible) to any of these stones do not use them.

Random Fact! To promote growth in plants, "plant" clear quartz crystals
or moss agate in the center of any type of garden to promote lush growth and abundant harvest.


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.

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.

Incense to cleanse and consecrate crystals:

2 parts Frankincense
2 parts Copal
1 part Sandalwood
1 part Rosemary
1 pinch finely powdered Salt
1 sm. purified Quartz Crystal point

Pour the incense into a small jar, along with the quartz crystal.
To use, pour a bit of the incense (leaving the Quartz crystal in the jar of incense) 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.
