Web of Stone Magic
Have you ever heard anyone say they have a crystal? Once you uncover the magic, you will discover crystals and stones can be quite addicting. We are sometimes drawn to a stone for reasons that become obvious down the road — to help us relax and ground our energy, or to purchase for a friend going through a difficult period.
The beauty and energy of crystals, gems and stones have fascinated humankind and been used in healing and magical purposes since as far back as the 4th millennium BC. Over the past two decades they are having a huge impact on modern life. Many carry a stone for the magic attached to it — and believe me, there is a stone for every intent and goal.
It must be correctly noted: healing crystals are not a medical treatment or to be used in place of traditional medical care or diagnosis. They will not make an illness disappear. But for those who believe in them, they will improve your frame of mind and lift your spirits — and that can lead to removing blocks of negative energy and opening to healing. Even the medical profession would agree: if they help you mentally or emotionally feel stronger, that’s a good thing.
Using a Crystal Grid:
Crystal grids can be more powerful than using a single crystal for an intended goal. Crystal grids are made by the intentional placement of stones or crystals in a geometric pattern for the specific purpose of directing your energy toward a goal. The stones are then charged by your intention and energy.
Creating Your Crystal Grid:
- Decide on your purpose for the grid. Your clear intention is a key element in empowering the stones’ energy.
- Write your intention on a piece of paper — or on the back of a photo that depicts your goal.
- Find a safe location to create your grid where it will not be disturbed. Cleanse this space. Some cleansing methods include burning sage, placing a crystal cluster in the room, or bowls of sea salt. Flowers, incense, music and candles can add ambiance to your sacred space.
- Relax and center yourself. Visualize your goal having already been achieved with a calm mind and positive intention.
- Place your crystal layout in a geometric pattern.
- Charge the Master Crystal and place it on the layout. Use a smudge stick to trace over the pattern of your grid, thanking each stone for its power and assistance.
- Thank the Universe and offer a prayer of gratitude.
