What is your witchy hot take?

Rules for this post:

Give the benefit of the doubt. If it seems like a blanket statement, it probably isn't, it's probably just based on that person's experience or belief system. Also don't turn it into some weird bigoted stuff or you get blocked.

MY witchy hot take is that I think tarot decks you choose personally match your energy better than those gifted to you.

How are you gunna know if you vibe with it if you've never messed with it before? I vibe with the one's I've been gifted, of course, but not as much as those that I choose myself.

My hot take is if crystals can store energy, any rock can.

Furthermore, our bones are our stones that can store energy.

Another hot take is that half of the things labeled crystals aren't geologically considered crystals, which I feel strengthens your hot take.

Zapdos’s Thunderstorm Power Storage Spell (Pokemon Inspired)

“Zapdos is a legendary bird Pokémon that has the ability to control electricity. It usually lives in thunderclouds. The Pokémon gains power if it is stricken by lightning bolts.” -Pokedex Entry

A storm spell to cast during a thunderstorm to gain power from it and store it into a rock to use for later.

You Will Need:

⚡ A rock, marble or clear quartz crystal ⚡ Thunderstorm or a video of a raging storm

Steps:

⚡ Cleanse yourself, your space and the rock you will be working with

⚡ Open your window to let in the smell and winds of the storm, if it is safe you can go outside, though it is generally safer to stay inside

⚡ Hold the stone in your cupped hands and hold them out towards the window and the storm outside

⚡ Feel the power of the air from the storm, smell the rain, and feel the literal electricity in the air. Visualize this energy pulsing like electricity all about and how now your rock is drawing it in light a lightning rod. Focus on this and your intent to store the strength and energies of this storm into your stone.

⚡ Stay like this until you feel that your rock is pulsating with the electrical power

⚡ Tuck it away and safe for the future when you need the empowerment or the energy of a storm for yourself, a spell, enchantment, etc

Glass Stone Magic

Maybe because I have a vain side that loves glamours and appearances (probably cause I’m ruled by Venus) I love working with glass stones. There are some that appear naturally in nature or that are man made but they have a much different use than other crystals. Glass is classified as a ‘rigid liquid’ because it cools too rapidly for a crystal structure to form (though it has similar makeup to crystals, just the formation is different) but its too hard to be an actual liquid. Glass can be used for glamours and illusions. Illusions can help create attractions (so if you would like to attract a certain thing, kind of how wanderers in a desert go after mirages), or they can help hide what is there. Glamours can create desired presences and appearances. My favorite stone is Opalite and I have created a huge bond with my necklace. Its sometimes incredibly off putting but people I know, work with and even strangers would approach me to grab at it because it’s a very alluring stone and I do a lot of magic work with it so the glow attracts them like moths. You can use each of these for all kind of illusionry. Glamours help with shielding as well which you can apply the protective glass stones to your shielding or hiding truths. 

  • Opalite- You can use this to be alluring in a mysterious way. It’s glowing and ephemeral and moonlike. It brings a dreamy attention towards yourself. It attracts people.
  • Obsidian- Almost the exact opposite of Opalite. Best worn with dark colors or all black. It can be used to hide yourself for protection. Obsidian is a stone made from volcanic glass that can help ward people or unwanted entities. It helps you be ‘invisible’ and does not attract people.
  • Mirrors- helps with protection as well since it reflects harm (good for curse wards) and can show hidden truths and bring clarity (since it reflects and shines light). It can help with illusionry where if you want to hide something it can help distort the truth. It attracts people and can be used as a trap.
  • Sea glass- helps to be more secretive and hard to read (think of the mysteries that lie deep beneath the ocean waves). It neither attracts nor repels people in my experience, it just a stone that helps conceal things.
  • Tektites- rare but incredibly powerful. They are naturally forming glass when meteors hit the earth and can come in small sized bodies of black, glowing green, brown or gray. They can be used to shed light where there need be inspiration and give off a glamour of otherworldliness. I’m sure it attracts people- especially the glowing green kind probably attracts weirdos and people that want to leave this earth.
  • Fulgurites- strange spiky stones that form when lightning strikes sand. They can be used for protection such as warding and shielding (especially if you like to work with electricity or are a weather witch) and can either help to repel people by intimidation or attract them magnetically. 
  • Marbles- can be used for wishes! Many use marbles for luck. A marbled ring can be created to be a luck charm and charged in sunlight. Can give an illusion to be cheerful. It attracts people. (People like to grab at this too like opalite).
  • Colored glass stones can be charmed to give off a glamour depending on your correspondence to it’s color. They are incredibly vibrant and can be found in any color and can help give off the vibe you’d want to achieve by it. Colored glass also comes in glass rings as well that makes it easy to wear and accessorize to your everyday outfits for glamour. I usually wear crystals to promote a kind of energy within myself but there are times I just want my outfit to match so I use glass stones and rings instead. Hints here can be with simple associations like pink can give you an appearance to be more intimate and flirtatious- deep gold to appear more assertive and influential- blue to appear more sensual secretive and empathetic etc. 
  • Multicolored glass stones/iridescent glass stones- to appear to have many sides or help with gender fluidity.
  • Glittering glass stones- same as the colored glass stones but the sparkles adds more of an allure and attention. It attracts people.
  • In many cultures glass stones are turned into charms like the blue eye to ward evil for example.

All glass needs your energy for it to work because unlike crystals it does not vibrate on it’s own since it has no structure. Therefore it makes it incredibly malleable to use and activate for almost any purpose as long as it resonates with you. Glass can be charged powerfully by the sun since it’s a substance that reflects or absorbs light.

Crystal combinations

Choosing crystal combinations is a highly personal and intuitive process, as different crystals resonate with individuals in unique ways.

However, here are some popular crystal combinations that are often used together for their complementary energies:

  1. Clear Quartz and Amethyst: Clear Quartz is known as the "master healer" and amplifies the energies of other crystals. When combined with Amethyst, a crystal associated with spiritual growth and intuition, it can enhance clarity, spiritual awareness, and overall energetic balance.
  2. Rose Quartz and Green Aventurine: Rose Quartz is the stone of love and compassion, while Green Aventurine is associated with abundance and good fortune. Together, they can promote emotional healing, attract love, and support the heart chakra.
  3. Citrine and Pyrite: Citrine is a crystal of abundance, manifestation, and personal power. Pyrite, also known as "Fool's Gold," is associated with wealth, prosperity, and protection. This combination can help boost confidence, attract abundance, and support manifestation efforts.
  4. Selenite and Black Tourmaline: Selenite is a purifying crystal that cleanses and protects the energy field. Black Tourmaline is a powerful grounding and protective stone. When used together, they create a harmonious balance of clearing negative energies and shielding against negativity.
  5. Labradorite and Moonstone: Both Labradorite and Moonstone are associated with intuition, psychic abilities, and spiritual connection. This combination can enhance intuition, deepen spiritual experiences, and assist in accessing higher states of consciousness.
  6. Carnelian and Hematite: Carnelian is a crystal of vitality, creativity, and motivation. Hematite is a grounding stone that helps stabilize and balance energy. Together, they can provide a boost of energy, enhance motivation, and support grounding and focus.

Remember, these are just a few examples, and there are numerous other crystal combinations that can be explored based on your specific intentions and needs.

Trust your intuition and experiment with different crystals to discover the combinations that resonate most with you.

Ways to Use Crystals

Put them around your home!

  • Place a protective stone, such as black onyx, hematite, or black obsidian, outside by your front door to prevent negative energies, including burglars, from entering your home.
  • Place a rose quartz on a table or shelf in a frequently used room, such as a living room, family room, or den, to fill your home with love and harmony.
  • Decorate with seasonal stone colors.

Put them in your car!

  • Placing a golden tiger-eye in your car will help to protect you and your car against accidents.  Place the stone in a secure place where it will not roll around or get lost.  I suggest wrapping it in wire, attaching it to a cord or chain, and then hanging it from the rearview mirror.

Bring them to work!

  • Place a quartz cluster or purple fluorite cluster next to your computer to help protect you from its electromagnetic field.
  • Place a smoky quartz on your desk or in your work space to protect yourself against the stress and frustration of your coworkers or clients.
  • Keep a rose quartz or amethyst with you.  When work is stressful, hold it in your hand or rub it with your fingers.

Bring them with you on your next vacation or business trip!

  • Carry an aquamarine or moonstone with you for protection while traveling.

Clear the air!

  • To disperse negative energy, use a black or dark stone, such as onyx, obsidian, tourmaline, jet, apache tear, smoky quartz, or hematite.  These stones, when placed about a room, home, or other area, work as environmental cleansers that purify the area and protect it from negative energies.

Fight pain!

  • Lapis, malachite, and bloodstone are good pain relievers.   Place them on the affected body part or area of the body until the pain lessens.
  • Tape a carnelian to your lower abdomen to relieve the pain of menstrual cramps.
  • For a headache, place an amethyst, amber, or turquoise stone on your forehead, or, if you have multiple stones, place them around your head.
  • In the case of a migraine, lapis has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptians, if not longer.

Get a good night’s sleep!

  • Place an azurite, amethyst, or sugilite on your forehead or under your pillow to increase your dreams.
  • A garnet or amethyst under your pillow will help you to remember your dreams.
  • A black tourmaline, smoky quartz, or amethyst will chase away any nightmares.
  • Can’t sleep?  Place a rose quartz or amethyst by your bed or under your pillow to combat insomnia.

Get in control of your emotions!

  • Moonstone, chrysocolla, aventurine, rose quartz, and blue lace agate are all stones that help to balance emotions.  You can wear them in jewelry, keep them on your person, or take a bath with them.
  • Use a rose quartz for emotional healing.
  • Aquamarine, aventurine, moonstone, rhodonite, and rose quartz are calming stones.  Lie down and place one over your heart, or bathe with them, or massage yourself with them.
  • To relieve stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, use one of the following: aventurine, black tourmaline, black onyx, lapis, sodalite, chrysocolla, rose quartz, citrine, or snowflake obsidian.  Use one as a “worry stone”.  A worry stone is a stone that you keep with you, and whenever you feel worried, stressed, or anxious, you take it out and rub it with your fingers.  You can also wear it in jewelry, bathe with it, or massage with it.  
  • For depression, use amber, smoky quartz or citrine in any of the aforementioned ways.
  • To help control anger, keep a red garnet, amethyst, snowflake obsidian, or sodalite with you.  Take it out, hold it, and rub it whenever you feel the need.

Increase your brain power!

  • Use citrine, fluorite, lapis, pyrite, or sodalite to stimulate the intellect.
  • For focusing thoughts and concentration, use citrine, hematite, lapis, black tourmaline, or fluorite.
  • To bring mental clarity, use sapphire, peridot, or gold (Imperial) topaz.
  • To increase memory, use citrine, amber, black tourmaline, hematite, or fluorite.
  • Use amethyst, bloodstone, hematite, or lapis to relieve mental stress.
  • For help with problem-solving, use green tourmaline, or citrine.
  • To help with decision-making, use azurite, fluorite, or sodalite.
  • To use any of these “thinking” stones, wear them as earrings or a pendant, or place them on your desk or workspace.

Spark your creativity!

  • Carry or wear an amazonite, azurite, carnelian, chrysocolla, or citrine to get your creativity flowing.

Improve your communication skills!

  • Sodalite, sapphire, aquamarine, blue topaz, and chrysocolla are all great stones for communication.  Use them to bring self-confidence when public speaking, to help you to speak up for yourself, to be able to explain things in an easy to understand way, to overcome shyness, to be able to speak more clearly and freely , to be able to express yourself better emotionally, and to improve your relationships by keeping communication lines open.  These stones work best when worn as a pendant that hangs close to the throat, but they can also be worn as earrings, or held, or carried in your pocket.

Strengthen your intuition!

  • To do this, hold a moonstone, chrysocolla, or amazonite to your third eye (brow).

Meditate!

  • Meditation crystals can be held, placed on the third eye, or placed before you as a visual focal point.  These crystals include: clear quartz, amethyst, celestite, apophyllite, charoite, sugilite, azurite, labradorite, and yellow calcite.
  • To get in touch with your spirituality, use amethyst or charoite.
  • To gain wisdom, use amethyst, charoite, lapis, sodalite, or sugilite.
  • To ground yourself (bring yourself back to Earth) after meditating, hold a grounding stone such as, smoky quartz, black obsidian, snowflake obsidian, black onyx, hematite, or jet.

  • To raise your self-esteem, use hematite or rose quartz.
  • To improve your self-image, use moonstone, rose quartz, or pink kunzite.
  • To learn to love yourself, use rose quartz, rhodochrosite, or pink kunzite.
  • All of these stones can be held, worn, or carried.

Spread the love!

Rose quartz is THE love stone.  Use it to attract love; to increase romance; to strengthen love between friends, lovers, and family members; to make a friendship blossom; to mend a broken heart; and to keep any relationship balanced, peaceful, and loving.  No matter what the situation, if it has to do with love, rose quartz is the stone that does it all.   But there are, of course, other stones of love.

 Here are just a few examples:

  • To attract love, use magnetite or a tantric twin.  A tantric twin (also called a soulmate stone) is a stone in which two crystals, such as clear quartz, amethyst, or citrine, of about the same size are joined together side by side.
  • To heal the heart, place pink agate, pink kunzite, or pink tourmaline over the heart, or wear as a pendant that hangs close to the heart.
  • To balance relationships, use peridot or rhodonite.
  • To increase or enhance loving feelings, use emerald, ruby, garnet, or diamond.

Love stones can be worn, carried, held, or bathed with.  Place them throughout a room or home to create a more loving atmosphere.  Put one next to your bed to increase romance and intimacy.

Add some spice to your sex life!

  • Use carnelian, garnet, or red tiger-eye to increase passion, sensuality, and eroticism.
  • To increase sexual energy and stamina, use carnelian, bloodstone, ruby, red garnet, or pink tourmaline.
  • Use carnelian to stimulate sexuality.
  • Use red jasper to prolong sexual pleasure.
  • Pink tourmaline will release inhibitions.
  • For lack of libido, use fluorite or red garnet.
  • Place them next to, on, or around the bed, or wear them as jewelry.

Bring abundance, prosperity, wealth, and success into your life!

  • For prosperity, place a citrine in the “wealth corner” of your home.  This is the corner to the left of and furthest away from the front door.  If this is where your bathroom is, do not put the stone in there, otherwise any wealth that you acquire will go right down the toilet!
  • Wealth comes in many forms other than money and material things.  Being surrounded by a loving family can make someone feel wealthy.  To bring wealth of any kind, wear or carry green aventurine, peridot, bloodstone, emerald, jade, or pyrite (fool’s gold).
  • Keep a green aventurine in your wallet or purse to make your money multiply.

Bring good luck!

  • Wear or carry a green aventurine or golden tiger-eye with you.
  • Bring a green aventurine with you to the casino.  Wear it in a pouch around your neck, keep it in your pocket, or hold it while you are playing.
