Stone Me.
Crystals are wonderful reflections of the myriad Goddess energies throughout our amazing planet. They are tools that may be used for every ailment known to humankind much like plants & herbs are used to assist the bodily healing process on all sorts of subtle levels including spiritual, psychic & emotional.
My favourite shop here in the town of Hastings where I live is called ‘Stone Corner’, it contains a fabulous array of gemstones and crystals in many different forms ranging from the most readily available which cost a few pence to some magnificent rare specimens that are mega expensive.
Sometimes I just like to go in and bask in the beauty of them, it’s wonderful to see so many different varieties and learn a little about their properties and where they originate from.
It’s just such a treasure trove to someone like me who is easily distracted by bright and shiny objects. Each stone exudes a sense of magic and wonderment, as I wander around my favourite shop finding myself drawn to particular stones.
I heard that crystals choose you and not the other way round, so I have grown to accept that they know better than I do when it comes to some work that they wish to do with me, as a general rule of thumb I find out some time afterwards that it was indeed just the right antidote needed to assist with a specific problem which my newly acquired stone throws a light upon, helping me to gain a renewed clarity on some aspect of an ailment that may have lay undiscovered until that healing stone/crystal has entered into my personal field of awareness and shift occurs.
Through working with crystals/stones I would say that they don’t affect a cure by themselves but what they do offer us is the ability for us to overcome current problems of all descriptions and some will be in the most unlikely ways imaginable.
For instance there are specific stones which call in angelic energies to assist us (I don’t actually believe in angels in the biblical sense, but believe that all winged angels derive from the winged Goddess Maat) and so I joyfully accept the assistance of any angelic presence that stems from my Lady and pay attention to what they may be telling me.
Such stones of Maat would for example be ‘Petalite it’s a lovely white colour’, and Celestite which reminds me of being on a spiritual adventure like the book if you have ever read it entitled ‘The Celestine Prophesy’ this particular stone has the properties of
‘jump- starting spiritual development’ as it is so described in the excellent guide to crystals by Judy Hall entitled ‘The Crystal Bible’.
There are many, many more stones that assist with angel frequencies as there are stones which we may attune to for just about every conceivable human predicament.
The great thing is that you don’t really need to do that much to work with the stone, just bring it into your life & spend time with it (keep it close) and you’ll find that somehow or other your life does get effected by it.
On saying that I would also add that it’s much more interesting to really get to know your crystal, find out as much as you can about it, where it comes from, what other properties it may possess and the different ways it could be used for example ‘Gem elixirs’ can be made from raw unpolished crystals by standing in water overnight and drinking the next day, they work much like the ‘Bach flower remedies’ do by imbuing the water with the rock/gem/mineral essence.
My daughter has a small polished labradorlite stone which we have nick named ‘Charlie stone’ because it has a face on it and a distinct personality, we found out that these crystals are called ‘crystal beings’ and contain a guardian spirit whom actively wants to work with you. We love Charlie Stone he’s a very jolly, upbeat character. Recently I managed to find Charlie a female companion whom we jokingly named ‘Sharon Stone’ she’s also a labradorlite these stones possess the qualities of aligning the spiritual & etheric bodies it also stimulates intuition, teaches faith in oneself as well as trusting the universe, on a physical healing level labradorlite relieves menstrual tension & relieves stress. Incidentally the colours in a labrodorlite crystal are amazing, they are quite dark until they catch the light but then they flash gold and blue iridescent hues, quite spectacular to behold.
Apart from the fact that gemstones are beautiful in themselves you also find that gorgeous beads & jewellery are made from them. Sets of prayer beads and pagan rosaries can be made up to enhance your own meditations. You can use various beads to represent your intent such as pretty rose quartz which reflects the qualities of love.
There are so many options to choose from within the crystal world, I hope you have as much fun as I am finding out about them.
