<\/a> on crystals to learn about other ways to quickly get started with Wiccan stones and crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Do I Cleanse My Crystals?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Upon getting a new crystal, you may be very excited to start using it! Before adding it to your practice however, you must first cleanse the crystal, both physically and spiritually. Crystals are so useful to us because they hold onto energy, however this can work against us if they are holding onto stored negative energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Negative energy can come from anyone the crystal was in contact with. Former owners, the clerk at the store where you bought it, someone who cleaned and polished it, someone who excavated it, etc. Even other shoppers at the store where you made your purchase can have a negative effect. It\u2019s a good idea to always cleanse new crystals, especially if you will be doing healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, give your crystal a small bath. Research the type of crystal and see if it\u2019s ok to get it wet. If so, make a bowl of salt water. Allow the crystal to soak in the water to wash off dust, dirt, or any other physical remains that may have been transported from the crystal\u2019s origin to your practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your crystal should not go into water, you can take a small brush like a whisk or toothbrush, to gently give it a dry bathing. This will brush off any small particles which have travelled with the stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, cleanse the crystal spiritually. It is a sacred object and you should cleanse and consecrate it as you would any other magickal tool. Use whatever ritual you feel comfortable with, or whatever ritual you might already use for cleansing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For some ideas, meditate and focus your intention on cleansing the crystal, do a candle ceremony to bless the crystal, or burn sage or incense around the crystal. The ritual to use will come to you.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Do I Charge My Crystals?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Crystals absorb energy so if you place them in contact with powerful, positive forces, they will absorb this energy and become even more powerful.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One way to charge is to place your crystal in with sunlight. If you can place the crystal outdoors, this is best. If not, place it on a windowsill and perhaps crack the window to get some direct sunlight onto the crystal.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another way to charge is with moonlight. You can do this similarly as you would do for sunlight. Charge your crystal under the light from the full and new moons.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A third way to charge your crystal is with water. If you were able to cleanse your crystal with water, then immerse the crystal into a natural body of water like a stream, lake, pond, or ocean. If you don\u2019t have access to a body of water, you can collect some rainwater in a vessel and use it instead.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A final way to charge your crystal is to bury it in the ground to connect with the Earth. If you\u2019re able, bury the stone outdoors and leave for a few days. If you don\u2019t have access to tools for burial, you can place the crystal next to a plant or bush. Or, if you don\u2019t have anywhere you can place the crystal outside, then you can bury or place the crystal in a potted plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Should Crystals Be Stored?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Two common options for storage of Wiccan stones and crystals are to wear them, or to place them around your home. Wearing a crystal is a great way to keep their energies close to you. You can wear them as jewellery in the form of pendants, rings, etc, or simply put one in your pocket. Jewellery is best to ensure that the stones are not lost, and it keeps them close to your skin.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also keep crystals around your home. This allows their energies to permeate your space. You can place them strategically and deliberately to give you a balanced and harmonious home. Stones which you use everyday in your spellwork can be kept on or close to your altar. They can also be stored in a sacred bag which you\u2019ve consecrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
