A Beginner's Guide to Crystals

Since childhood, I’ve always been fascinated with all things magical and otherworldly. I loved stories about witches, pretending to make potions, and experimenting with Ouija boards at sleepovers. I was particularly interested in the zodiac, and learning about my natal chart in high school was a formative experience for me. I was the resident expert on everything astrological (at least in my own…

crystal magic basics 💎

a quick guide for using and caring for your crystal

— cleanse l it's important to cleanse your crystal of negative or stale energies before and after you carry it for an extended period of time or use it in your practice.

methods of crystal cleansing

— smoke cleansing I pass your crystal through incense or herb smoke of your choice

— fire cleansing | quickly pass your crystal through the flame of a lit candle or match (safely and carefully! not all crystals are safe to pass through fire, so please do your research)

— salt cleansing | cover your crystals completely in sea salt and allow them to sit overnight before uncovering them

— earth cleansing | like salt cleansing, bury your crystals in dirt or soil and allow them to sit overnight before uncovering them

— sound cleansing | use bells, song bowls, a tuning fork, any musical instrument, or even just play music or ambient sounds in close proximity to your crystal

— program I after cleansing, you can program your crystal with your desired intention so long as it aligns with the properties of the crystal itself

methods of crystal programming

— visualize | hold your crystal in the hand that feels most comfortable, and imagine a soft light filling your crystal while you focus on your intention. rest when you feel you've activated the crystal

— communicate | while holding your crystal, have a conversation with it. this can be out loud or in your head. be sure to make your intentions clear and show gratitude when you feel your crystal has been activated

— familiarize | carry your crystal with you for a few days or weeks while you focus on your intent. eventually the crystal will activate by picking up your intentions

— charge | lastly, after you've programmed your intent into the crystal, choose a suitable method of charging it with energy

methods of crystal charging

— sunlight | put your crystals outside or on your windowsill in sunlight for the day. (this may cause color fading in certain crystals)

— moonlight | put your crystals outside or on your windowsill overnight in moonlight (pretty much exactly like sunlight but without the possibility of crystal color fading)

when you’re finished using your crystals, be sure to store them in a cleansed, sacred, and safe space.

and that’s it! you now have access to magic rocks. enjoy!

The magic of scissors ✂️

There are many often negative superstitions surrounding scissors, from the Indigenous idea that using scissors during a wedding will cause the groom to become impotent to the notion that breaking a pair of scissors is a bad omen of arguments and distress in the home. However, in colonial New Mexico there was a vastly different notion, that being that scissors can be a positive and protective amulet.

In brujeria and curanderismo, scissors, specifically made of iron, are seen as deeply protective objects. While often said to be protective against witchcraft, modern pagans are welcome to use them as a general protective tool. Typically open scissors are used to protect against malevolent entities and fairies, however they may be used while closed too. Cutting the cord in a cord cutting ritual with iron scissors may aid in cutting off a psychic vampire.

Some superstitions from here include cutting spider webs with iron scissors to prevent the witches in the form of guajalote (the turkey) from sucking the blood of your children. It is also common to see a pair of open or closed scissors hung above the entryway to prevent evil from entering the home. This tradition is one of my favorites, as the scissors always feel so powerful and protecting whenever I walk beneath them. They may also be placed under the bed to prevent bad dreams.

New Mexico is an interesting place for folklore such as this to exist, as we tend to be very isolated from other cultures other than our Indigenous neighbors, which causes many of our own traditions to persevere for quite some time, along with our cultures blending with that of the natives who belong to this place. While in recent times it has become easier to travel here, it is still a relatively unpopulous place, with roughly 2.1 million inhabitants spread out over 121,280 square miles. With such space and isolation comes many tales.. such as that of the chupacabra, el coco, thunderbirds, and skinw**kers. If you choose to wander into our land, do, proceed with caution. That being said, we do have some phenomenal natural wonders such as white sands and cool festivals such as the balloon fiesta in ABQ. It's worth the trek, but be prepared and be safe.

Hello! My name is Pao. For this PAC, I’m taking a different approach. Energy cleanses and chakra alignments are really popular in my home country and here in Chile, where I’m currently based. What about where you’re from? This reading will dive into all the specific benefits that an energy cleanse can bring to your life.

It doesn’t matter what your background is—whether by citizenship, religion, or whether you're a spiritual practitioner or a “muggle.” Everyone deserves to experience the incredible benefits of an energy clearing at least once! And trust me, once you’ve had a session, it’s hard to settle for just one. You’ll likely find yourself coming back for more, hooked on the mental clarity and sense of relief it brings.

English is not my mother language, so please be tolerant of my typos and odd grammar♡

✧𝓟𝓲𝓵𝓮 1✧ 

You probably do, honestly. Your energy seems a bit opaque, and you are feeling tired, aren't you?

An energy cleanse could totally refresh you, bringing big changes like:

Handling anxiety better. Right now, you're juggling way too much, but not really getting anywhere. You’re running on empty, and it's making everything feel unorganized. You struggle with setting boundaries, which leaves you overcommitted and less productive than you'd like.

Opening your eyes to change. You've been running on autopilot for too long. It's time to switch things up and let go of old routines. You're carrying a lot of masculine energy, always feeling like you need to be doing something. The fear of not progressing — whether as a person, a professional, or an artist — is holding you back.

Getting out of fantasy mode. Your mind is always in the future, picturing yourself winning at life. But the mental clutter and your declining health are keeping you from getting there. It’s time to organize your goals, prioritize, and focus on what matters in the short term.

✧𝓟𝓲𝓵𝓮 2✧

Maybe not! Your energy feels pretty stable, like you’re enjoying the results of your hard work. Still, if you go for a cleanse, it could boost your well-being by helping you:

Chill out with bureaucratic stuff. You'll stress less about all those annoying, drawn-out processes.

Practice patience. Especially in your relationships, patience will help you trust more in the strength of your connections.

Stop being so hard on yourself. Keeping up a flawless image for everyone is exhausting. You’re constantly reminding yourself of the status you want to maintain, which only adds to the pressure. Deep down, you’re worried about losing what you think gives you value.

Slow down that racing mind. You're always on the go, thinking about work and projects. Have you noticed how little time you spend just relaxing and enjoying what you've already achieved?

✧𝓟𝓲𝓵𝓮 3✧

You definitely do, but not for the reasons you might think! Your energy isn't really dense, but there’s a lot of resistance to enjoying life fully. A cleanse could help you:

Embrace life more. Even if things aren’t terrible, you always feel like you could be doing better. You’re stuck, craving more excitement and fun, but something is holding you back from fully experiencing it.

Boost your sense of self-worth. There’s a little voice inside that says you don’t really deserve all the good things you’ve accomplished. With this cleanse, you’ll start enjoying your wins as they are, instead of just ticking off another box.

Let go of control and grow. Sometimes, your self-criticism holds you back more than it pushes you forward. This cleanse will help you loosen up in a way that allows for real growth — without falling into self-sabotage or damaging your self-esteem.

Reconnect with your desires and your community. You'll rediscover your passions and feel a deeper sense of belonging with the people around you.

Spot new opportunities. Clearing internal blockages will open your eyes to opportunities that have always been there. Now you'll be ready to recognize them and bring them into your life.

✧𝓟𝓲𝓵𝓮 4✧

Not exactly, but I bet you're eager to try it. You're naturally curious and might believe that through this cleansing, significant revelations will come to you, or that it'll help you release everyday stress. You are absolutely right! I'll describe the benefits you'll be getting in detail:

Trust your intuition more. You’re super intuitive and can pick up on other people's vibes just looking at them. But you're still human, so doubt creeps in. This cleanse will help you trust what you’re sensing.

Bring harmony to your work life. You’ll feel more excited and lighter at work, making the whole vibe much better.

Let go of limiting beliefs. You know you can handle things on your own and don’t need anyone to fight your battles, but sometimes you still doubt yourself. This cleanse will help you ditch those old societal beliefs about vulnerability and strength.

See yourself for the powerhouse you are. You’ll start to appreciate yourself as someone strong, amazing, and full of beautiful energy.

Recognize your personal growth. You’ll see the areas where you've matured and feel more proud of your progress.

Feel more at peace at home. This cleanse will help you feel more aligned and at ease in your personal space.

Caring for Your Crystal Jewellery: Cleaning and Energizing Tips

Crystal jewellery is not just a fashion statement; it's a piece of nature's artistry that can heal, energise, and connect you with the earth's energy. If you're fortunate enough to own crystal jewellery, you understand its unique beauty and spiritual significance. However, like any precious possession, crystal jewellery needs care and attention to maintain its lustre and energy. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the art of caring for your crystal jewellery, with a special focus on crystal jewellery in Australia.

The Significance of Crystal jewellery

Crystal jewellery has been adored for centuries due to its captivating aesthetics and powerful healing properties. Each crystal possesses its own energy and metaphysical properties, making them more than just adornments. Crystal jewellery allows you to carry the energies of the earth's elements and tap into their healing benefits, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Why Crystal jewellery Requires Special Care

Crystals are delicate, and their energy can be influenced by external factors. Proper care ensures that your crystal jewellery continues to radiate its unique vibrations. Here's why it's crucial to care for your crystal jewellery:

Energy Maintenance: Crystals absorb and emit energy. Regular cleaning helps remove negative energies absorbed from your surroundings.

Aesthetic Preservation: Crystal jewellery's beauty can be affected by dirt, oil, and wear. Cleaning helps maintain its appearance.

Longevity: Proper care prolongs the life of your crystal jewellery, preserving its energy and aesthetics for generations.

Cleaning Your Crystal Jewellery

Cleaning crystal jewellery is a straightforward process, but it requires attention to detail to avoid damaging the delicate stones. Here's a step-by-step guide to cleaning your precious pieces:

Materials You'll Need:

Soft, lint-free cloth

Mild dishwashing soap

Warm water

Soft-bristle toothbrush

A gentle touch

Cleaning Steps:

Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Fill a bowl with warm water and add a few drops of mild dishwashing soap. Mix gently until it forms a soapy solution.

Step 1 -

Soak Your Jewellery: Place your crystal jewellery in the soapy water and let it soak for a few minutes. This will help loosen dirt and oil.

Step 2 - 

Gently Clean: Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently scrub the jewellery. Pay attention to crevices and settings where dirt can accumulate. Be gentle to avoid scratching the crystals.

Step 3 - 

Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the jewellery under lukewarm running water to remove any soap residue. Ensure that all soap is gone.

Step 4 - 

Dry Carefully: Pat the jewellery dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics, as they can scratch the crystals.

Step 5 - 

Polish: After drying, use the cloth to gently polish your crystal jewellery to restore its shine.

Step 6 -

Store Properly: Store your cleaned crystal jewellery in a jewellery box or a soft pouch to prevent dust and damage.

Special Care for Specific Crystals

Different crystals have unique properties and sensitivities. Here are some special care tips for specific crystals commonly used in jewellery:

Amethyst: Amethyst is sensitive to sunlight, so avoid prolonged exposure. Clean it with mild soap and water.

Citrine: Citrine can fade in direct sunlight. Use a soft cloth to clean it, and avoid exposing it to heat.

Rose Quartz: Rose Quartz is relatively delicate. Clean it gently with mild soap and water, and avoid harsh chemicals.

Clear Quartz: Clear Quartz is versatile and durable. It can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and it benefits from exposure to sunlight and moonlight for cleansing and energizing.

Turquoise: Turquoise is porous and can absorb liquids. Clean it with a soft cloth and avoid exposing it to water.

Energizing Your Crystal Jewellery

In addition to cleaning, energizing your crystal jewellery is essential to maintain its healing properties. Crystals can become energetically depleted over time, especially if they are exposed to negative energies. Here are some methods for recharging your crystal jewellery:

Sunlight: Place your crystals in direct sunlight for a few hours to recharge their energy. Be cautious with this method for crystals that are sensitive to sunlight, as mentioned earlier.

Moonlight: On a full moon night, leave your crystal jewellery outside or on a windowsill to soak up the moon's energy. This is particularly beneficial for cleansing and reenergizing.

Selenite: Selenite is a self-cleansing crystal. You can place your other crystals on a selenite charging plate or near a selenite wand to recharge them.

Sound Cleansing: Sound vibrations can cleanse and recharge crystals. You can use a singing bowl, bell, or even your voice to create sound vibrations around your jewellery.

Visualization: Hold your crystal jewellery in your hands, close your eyes, and visualize white light surrounding and filling the crystals. Imagine their energy being revitalized.

Crystal Jewellery Care in Australia

For crystal jewellery owners in Australia, it's important to consider the unique climate and environment. Australia's diverse geography and climate can impact how you care for your crystal jewellery:

Humidity: In humid regions like tropical Queensland, moisture can affect your crystals. Be sure to keep them dry and store them in airtight containers if needed.

Sun Exposure: Australia is known for its strong sunlight. While sunlight can energize crystals, it's essential to avoid prolonged exposure for sensitive stones.

Beach Activities: If you wear your crystal jewellery to the beach, be mindful of sand and saltwater, which can scratch and damage crystals. Remove your jewellery before swimming.

Outback Adventures: For those exploring the Australian outback, consider protecting your crystal jewellery from dust and harsh conditions.

Conclusion

Crystal jewellery is more than just a fashion accessory; it's a conduit for nature's healing energy. Caring for your crystal jewellery ensures that it continues to radiate its unique vibrations and beauty. Follow the cleaning and energizing tips mentioned in this guide to maintain the vitality of your precious pieces.

In Australia, where the land is rich in energy and diverse climates, it's essential to adapt your care routine to the specific environment. By doing so, you can enjoy the benefits of your crystal jewellery for years to come, connecting with the healing energies of the earth and the beauty of nature.

Remember, as you care for your crystal jewellery, you are not just preserving a physical object; you are nurturing a source of healing, balance, and connection to the energies of the universe. Feel free to contact us if you have any query regarding this and we’ll be happy to assist you with the best.

Cleansing Basics – Crash Course

What is cleansing? When should I do it? How do I do it?

These are some of the questions I'll be tackling today. I hope this post will be useful to those who are not quite familiar with how to cleanse and why it's important for any witch or pagan practice!

---------------------------------------------------

Long post based on my experience and research. Meant to be informative. I don't claim to know the absolute truth.

---------------------------------------------------

What is cleansing?

Cleansing is clearing away energy from someone, something or somewhere.

When should I cleanse?

Whenever you need to clear away energy.

Personal opinion: you should cleanse yourself and your house at least weekly.

It is generally recommended that you periodically cleanse magical items and cleanse before and after any type of magical/ spiritual work. Cleansing before contacting deities (even if it's just prayer) is also considered "standard protocol" in some cultures, like in Hellenic paganism and Shintoism.

From my personal experience I do feel I can connect better with spiritual beings when I cleanse beforehand, but I believe my emotional state has a bigger influence on the matter. Cleansing generally calms me down too so –

Why should I cleanse?

The number one reason you'll see cleansing everywhere is because it is a way to help get rid of excess negative energy.

I'm not going to say you can clear away all of it because as living humans, we are constantly emanating energy and a lot of times it is "negative" energy. Which is okay, it's part of being alive. Plus, there are other factors that come into play.

However, cleansing often can help you stay in touch with spirituality and ease your mind since you'll be getting rid of excess (and oftentimes unwated) energy.

Cleansing also comes into play when you want to clear away any other kind of energy, for example, when you get a new magical tool (such as a tarot deck) or finish a magical working. You don't necessarily want the energy that was on that object or that spell sticking to you all day, you know?

How to prepare for cleansing?

First of all, gather your stuff. Gather everything you need and try to avoid interruptions.

I personally recommend you always do a physical cleaning up of whatever you are going to cleanse. Tidy up your house, take a shower, and clean your magical items (if possible).

Dirt and clutter feel bad, and it can distract the mind. Starting your cleansing in the physical plane can definitely make it more powerful in the astral too.

How do I cleanse?

Most cultures/religions/spiritual practices have their own way of doing things (ex: hellenic pagans have khernips), so first of all, do your research! And respect the fact that some things are out of your reach.

There are A LOT of techniques you can use to cleanse that are not particularly tied to a single culture and that can be done in many different ways. I'll quickly go through some of them, but it is by no means an extensive list.

Cleansing with the 4 elements:

Earth: I've mainly seen this in two ways, which are sending energy to the earth (something like grounding) and burrying objects.

Fire: commonly used together with air in smoke cleansing. There's also energy work that pulls energy and sends it towards the fire for cleansing (either a candle, a bonfire, or a visualization flame)

Water: mostly used for cleansing yourself or objects. It can be through herb baths and showers, rain/sea/river water, salt water, or sacred waters. For cleansing spaces, there are things such as water spray bottles and floor washes (though I've only seen this one being used in hoodoo). Careful with objects, some may not be resistant to water.

Air: generally the most common for cleansing spaces or people. Usually achieved by lighting up incense or herbs with cleansing properties and using the smoke to cleanse.

Sidenote: burning a herbs ≠ from smudging. Smudging is a native american practice that is closed to their people. Don't smudge, don't call some herb-burning smudging. It's not the same thing. Stick with what's appropriate for your culture.

Sun and moon: using sunlight or moonlight to cleanse (and often charge) yourself or objects. Always make sure what you are cleansing can actually be left in the sun and handle weather.

Crystals: Some crystals have cleansing properties, usually back ones (onyx, obsidian, black tourmaline), smoky quartz, and selenite, to name a few. Keep in mind that they usually need to be cleansed periodically, too.

Sound: Praying, chanting, singing, music, and using bells or drums are some ways you can use sound to cleanse.

Visualization: There are many techniques used for cleansing this way. While it can be effective, it is definitely not for everyone as a lot of people will find that using tools is easier and more consistent. Visualization requires some practice and a lot of focus.

What to do after cleansing?

That depends on your objective.

If you are cleansing a space, such as your home, and you want to keep it "clean" for longer, you can cast a protection spell.

If you are cleansing yourself or an object, you may want to do a Charging of some sort. When you cleanse, you are getting something out, which opens up space for the new, so you can use this as an opportunity to "fill in" with another type of energy.

Conclusion

Cleansing is very versatile and unique to each practice. There are a lot of things you can do that are fairly neutral, but in general, cleansing always has the same purpose and is done in a similar fashion.

Knowing what your tradition (if you have one) usually does to cleanse objects, people, and places can be very enriching, so do your research!
