15 Day Crystal Spirit Devotional Challenge

This is inspired by @cardicoven ‘s plant spirit devotional challenge. I got permission to do this spinoff. This challenge is to help you bond with a crystal of your choice and its energy and spirit!

DAY 1: Introduction to the Crystal you’re choosing to focus this challenge on.

DAY 2: Research and share where this crystal is naturally located (mined etc)! If it’s mined in multiple countries, list them!

DAY 3: Research and share the Crystal/Mineral’s structure and formations. Does it naturally form in a cubic formation or something different! Get specific!

DAY 4: Research and share historical or ancient uses (if any). If it’s a newly discovered crystal, when was it discovered, and by who?

DAY 5: Do your best to create art inspired by the crystal you chose.

DAY 6: Research and share the Magical Correspondences!

DAY 7: Research and share folk tales, myths, or stories associated with the crystal! If there isn’t any pre-existing story, make your own (but be sure to mention it’s something you made up).

DAY 8: Research and list deities and spirits associated with the crystal.

DAY 9: Share a tarot or oracle card YOU feel embodies this crystal’s energy!

DAY 10: Create a sigil to invoke the power of this crystal’s energy/spirit. You can trace this sigil on the crystal with your finger to activate its strongest power or your connection with it.

DAY 11: Meditate or focus on the crystal for five minutes. Then journal afterwards how it went!

DAY 12: Write about your current relationship with the Crystal and its spirit!

DAY 13: Personal goals when working with this crystal spirit!

DAY 14: Research ways to safely cleanse the crystal without damaging it. (Is it sun safe, water safe, salt safe, etc)

DAY 15: Exercise conclusion, main takeaways, and final overview!

The Top 3 Books And A YouTube Channel I Recommend For Starting Out As A Crystal Witch!

1. “Crystal Wisdom” By Shannon Marie

This is not technically a book on witchcraft, but it explains and explores the metaphysical properties of crystals AND gives you ideas for how to connect to your crystals. Shannon is both a gemologist AND a crystal healer. So she sees things from both perspectives (science and spirituality). It isn’t a hard read or a long read, but it is probably the most interesting and informative books on how to meditate and set intentions etc with your crystals. A must have in my opinion!

2. “The Crystal Bible Vol. 1” By Judy Hall

Now this is the sort of book you consult when you need to reference the correspondences of a large variety of crystals. What I love about it is the way Judy often explains the “why” behind the correspondences and properties. While this book doesn’t include every crystal known to man, it includes the more accessible ones that you’ll run into as you start shopping and exploring crystals as a witch.

3. “Cunningham’s Encyclopedia Of Crystal Gem & Metal Magic” By Scott Cunningham

Ok, so now we get into the witchier side of things. The past two books I recommended aren’t solely focused on witchcraft and aren’t written from a witch’s perspective. This book is great! Yes yes, some of its very Wiccan (and as a non-Wiccan practitioner the intro is a bit annoying and outdated) but once you get to the meat of the book it gives you ideas for utilizing the different crystals in spells and magic. I recommend this over “The Crystal Witch” by Shawn Robbins & Leanna Greenaway because Cunningham’s book doesn’t have the audacity to assume you must be Wiccan if you’re a witch. They both are Wiccan influenced, but The Crystal Witch is drenched in it to an unavoidable extent that’s annoying to non Wiccan witches. If you want a completely non Wiccan related book on crystal magic, I suggest Ashley Leavy’s books. But in general, I think Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic is a helpful read in addition!

THE YouTube Channel To Subscribe To:

So, this channel is a GOLDMINE of info. And it’s free to access! There are videos on crystals and their metaphysical properties, the ancient history and gemology of crystals and gemstones, and guided meditations for countless crystals that I use every day. Is it a perfect channel? No. Shannon does reference chakras occasionally (which is a bastardized and appropriated version of eastern practices). But that’s the thing about the crystal world. It’s practically impossible to find info where they don’t (on occasion) reference the 7 chakras. Shannon does it a lot less than the other channels etc out there, which I appreciate. And she’s (as I mentioned in the description of her book) a gemologist and crystal healer! She’s super smart, and very fun to listen to. Most of the other crystal channels literally copy her videos and her explanations of things, but I prefer going to the source because Shannon Marie is the best!

a gentle reminder:

eat something. take your medicine. you are not a burden to others. your emotions are just as real as theirs and deserve to be listened to. relax your jaw and shoulders. it’s okay to take a break sometimes you deserve rest. it’s okay to be yourself. you’re not hard to love and anyone who opposes that does not deserve your time. you’re going to be okay.
