Crystal Therapy

Making Tinctures

In general, crystals and stones used for healing are used in a variety of ways...They are worn on the body as pendents, rings, etc.; carried on the person in pockets, mojo bags, and such; used as healing pendulums suspended above the affected areas; placed directly on the affected body part or placed on the appropriate chakra; and sometimes they are used to create healing tinctures that are taken internally, applied to affected body areas, or sprayed around a space, and that's what we're going to look at here.

The following information is taken from: "Crystal Prescriptions" by Judy Hall, and you can find a link to her book in the list of credits at the bottom of this page.

 

Making a Crystal Remedy

All you need to make a crystal remedy is the appropriate crystal, which has been cleansed and purified, one or two clean glass bowls, spring water and a suitable bottle in which to keep it (colored glass is preferable to clear as it preserves the vibrations better.) 

Remedies can be made by the direct or indirect method.  Spring water should be used rather than tap water that has chlorine, fluoride and aluminium added to it.  Water from a spring with healing properites is particularly effective.

Direct Method

Place enough spring water in a glass bowl to cover the crystal.  Stand the bowl in sunlight for several hours.  (If the bowl is left outside, cover with a  glass lid or clingwrap to prevent insects falling into it.)  If appropriate, the bowl can also be left overnight in moonlight.

Indirect Method

*Some stones, such as Malachite, Sulphur, Galena and Vanadinite, are toxic and remedies from these stones need to be made by an indirect method that transfers the vibrations of the stones without transferring any of the toxic material from which the stone is formed. if in doubt-- use the indirect method.

Place the crystal in a small glass bowl and stand the bowl within a large bowl that has sufficient spring water to raise the level above the crystal in the inner bowl.  Stand the bowl in sunlight for several hours.  (If the bowl is left outside, cover with a glass lid or clingwrap.)  If appropriate, the bowl can also be left overnight in moonlight.

Bottling and Preserving

If the remedy is not to be used within a day, top up with two-thirds brandy, vodka or cider vinegar to one-third remedy, otherwise the remedy will become musty.  This makes a 'mother remedy' that can be further diluted. To make a small dosage bottle, add seven drops of the mother remedy to pure water if using immediately.  For prolonged use, vodka makes a useful preservative as it has no smell.

Using a Crystal Remedy

For short-term use, a remedy can be sipped every few minutes or rubbed on the affected part.  Hold the water in your mouth for a few moments.  If a droper bottle has been made, drop seven drops under your tongue at regular intervals until the symptoms or condition ceases.

Remedies can also be applied to the skin, either at the wrist or over the site of a problem, or added to bath water.

if a spray bottle is made, spray all around the aura or aournd the room.  this is particularly effective for clearing negative energies, espeically from a sickroom or an electromagnetically or emotionally stressed place.

Spells of the Month

This month I'm also going to include a stone spell-- and I found a spell that brings out the Wykid Wytch in me.  It may be a little earthy for some, but witchcraft tends to be a little earthy anyway. 

This spell, and many more, can be found in Judika Illes's book, "The Element Encylopedia of 5000 Spells".  You'll find a link at the bottom of this page.

Kick a Stone Spell

1.  Find a small stone.  Designate it as the person you need to dominate.  If you can find something reminiscent about the person in the stone, whether color or shape, this makes it even more effective.  Location also produces an excellent link-- locate the stone near the other person's favorite haunts or, if you're daring, pick it up in the other person's prescence.

2.  Bring the little rock home.  As soon as you enter your home, throw the rock on the floor.

3.  Kick it, reasonably gently (your goal is submission, not injury), through your home until it rolls under your bed.

4.  As you kick the stone, visualize the rock as your spell's target, actually see the person as if they were the size of the rock, running before you.

5.  Address the rock by the person's name. Tell it what you need.  Visualize the person doing your bidding, extending cooperation, fulfilling whatever is your key need and desire.

6.  Leave the rock under your bed.

7.  Should you ever need to reinforce this spell, bring the rock outside, urinate on it, and start the kicking process all over again.

I'm late getting this news letter out this month, and as I type this, the moon is half-full.  Some say that this is the second most powerful phase of the moon, after the full moon.   And keeping this in mind, I'm going to list foods associated with this heavenly body..The Moon:
