Why I no longer use crystals in my practice

Crystals are a modern concept. Thats it basically. 

Look since being on tumblr (which i’ll admit isn’t long however i’ve been practising for almost a year without it) i’ve realised that witchcraft has really gotten mixed up with other modern concepts such as ‘the healing power of crystals’ which is fine if your into that but I guess thats not the path I’m on? I’ve been looking a lot more into historical witchcraft because thats where I feel the most connection being english and all.

In historical witchcraft it isn’t the ingredients or tools that have power. Its you. yeah of corse there are associations and I will be continuing to use herbs and other natural tools. However,I won’t be using crystals or anything else that is said to have a ‘power’ of any kind. I’m not a particularly religious person. Nor am I someone who really ‘believes’ in forms of divination such as tarot or rune stones. 

For me witchcraft is a way of saying “this is what I want” a way to feel like I have some control of whats happening. By putting my energy into making something like a spell bottle I have quite time to reflect on what I want. Having something charmed, or something hanging up for protection makes me feel secure. But I just can’t get behind the idea that a piece of quartz actually has any “power” or ‘energy’. Id probably feel better carrying around a random rock from my garden for luck than an expensive rock with good vibrations.

I hope people can respect this change to my practice, and a change that will be made in my blog. You may still see some crystals around in the background of photos for aesthetic purposes but I will no longer be using them in any way. I will probably be switching to simply using pretty rocks I like!

Again I stress that I respect all forms of the craft and this in no way is me shitting on your beliefs. If you believe in the power/energy/vibrations of crystals or anything similar then I completely respect that and i hope you can respect my beliefs as well. I’ll be interested to see if this is a popular opinion. This was probably really badly explained sorry haha

The Humours of Whiskey by Hozier but someone is singing it while you’re on a walk, exploring a forest. Somehow the voice is coming from every direction at once, echoing all around you but at the same time it is drawing you into a very specific direction. Wait, didn’t you hear rumours about fae folk living in this forest?
