Crystal Wednesday - Water Amendment

-
Hello all!! We have a follow up and an amendment to one of our previous posts (Link here 👉🏻 Crystals that Cannot Go In Water)



Now, an eagle eyed reader read our previous post and queried one of the Crystals on the list (again, I apologise for the very late reply as I've only just figured out how the comments work!) and that particular Crystal was RUBY!


In the post, I included Ruby in the list of Crystals that couldn't be cleansed in water. I compiled my list from several other lists that I found and thought that I had researched everything thoroughly however, Ruby must have slipped through my check list.


Rubies can indeed be cleansed with water, in fact, it is recommended that you clean them with lukewarm, soapy water (use Ruby approved soaps!) and then rinse them with lukewarm, none soapy water. But, after you have cleansed them, make sure they are completely dry before touching them as the oils on your hands could damage them, especially raw Rubies. It is also advised for makeup wearing peoples to put Rubies on after makeup has been applied as the chemicals and oils in makeup and lotions can damage a Ruby if said chemicals and oils find their way into the Crystal!


If you have spotted anything like this in any of our other posts, leave a comment and I will make appropriate amendments!



I think we'll leave this little post here!! Shout out to Wendy for pointing this out to us!!


Blessings,

Emporiblog - Which Witch Closed Edition - Draconic

-

Hello all!! Today we're returning to our Which Witch Closed Edition series and kicking off our Dragon series!! DISCLAIMER: This is a closed practices and cannot be practiced by everyone, including myself! I have done my best to research as much as possible but since I cannot practice this, resources are limited. Draconic Witchcraft centers around Dragons and not necessarily the ones you've seen on TV and in books. Dragons are completely separate entities and working with them isn't for the faint of heart or something that just anyone can do as Dragons are very picky and secretive when it comes to working with people. Draconic Witchcraft is a closed practice but not for the same reasons as our previous practices, it's not tied to a specific ethnicity, place of origin or bloodline; it is closed because you can only become a Draconic Witch with the following 2 requirements: - The Dragons choose you - You must be able to read energy As I stated before, Dragons ...

Earthing

(Photo Credit: Kerenza Jinks) Earthing Although many people see grounding and earthing as the same thing, I do not.  Allow me to elaborate. To me, grounding is a spiritual thing, whereas earthing is a physical one. Although, both can be practiced together. Yes, I'm confused too. I have confused myself!! So, I will try and explain what I see as the difference. Our post on grounding is here . To me, grounding is a practice of getting rid of unwanted energy, it helps me when I feel anxious, overwhelmed or am overthinking. Yes, I go outside to do this quite often, but that is not a necessary practice. I can also meditate to achieve this   Grounding meditation on YouTube . Essentially, grounding helps calm me down, whereas Earthing gives me energy. In walking barefoot on the ground, I feel that I can draw up energy from the Earth herself, and this can be enough to allow me to face a busy day with positivity. Basically, I Earth to feel more energetic, and ground to rid myself of unw...

Hello all! We're kicking off the festive season with a post on Snow Magick! We will also cover ice as well since the two go hand in hand! So, the easiest point to cover is that both snow and ice are different forms of water and can be used in water rituals and magick as a whole as well as for their own individual uses. We have several posts on the uses of water for those who want some extra reading! Snow/Ice is also associated with the following: - Winter - Death - Preservation  - Transformation As well as many deities and beings ( Krampus comes to mind) But, let us look at the uses of snow within the craft... 1 : You can use snow to make a poppet! That's right, you can make a temporary poppet in your own garden by building a snowman or several and enchanting them to protect your property. You can also make regular sized poppets, enchant them and melt them 2 : Get rid of unwanted behaviours by enchanting a snowball or placing a piece of paper into a snowball and t...
