Crystal Wednesday - Water Crystals

-



Hi guys, 

Cat says the crystals hate her, lol. so I have decided to revive them, at least while she has put me in the driving seat.

I have decided that as we are featuring Water a lot this week, that I would cover some crystals that are associated with that element. Those that have been previously covered, I will include links to those posts, and try and get new crystal information up for you. We have also covered crystals that can and can't be cleansed with water, so I will link those just below...

Crystals that cannot go in water

Water ammendment


Yay, themed week!!

In crystal healing, the water element helps us with emotional healing, the collective unconscious, intuition, and being open to receiving. So any crystal that helps with these can be linked to the element of water.

Okay, so some crystals that are linked to the element of water (I won't cover all of them, just a selection) include:

  • Blue Lace Agate
  • Sodalite - post
  • Azurite
  • Aquamarine
  • Selenite - post
  • Purple Flourite 
  • Blue Chalcedony
  • Chrysochola
  • Larimar
  • Abalone
  • Coral
  • Pearl - any colour
  • Moonstone - post
  • Turquoise
  • Blue Calcite
  • Labradorite
  • Amazonite


Let me know if you would like me to do more crystal posts again, and I'm sure we can find a way to incorporate them, even when I have handed the reins back to Cat.

The picture above is one of my pieces of amazonite, so that is one of the stones I am going to cover, the other is larimar.

Amazonite:

So, the science bit first!
Amazonite is a variety of potassium feldspar. It is polymorphic/orthoclase.
it's chemical formula is KAlSi3O8
Green stones were found in the Amazon river, from where it gets it's name. There are archaeological finds that show it was used in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, but it was not listed as a distinct mineral in it's own right until the 18th Century.
It is found in various forms all over the world. Countries it is found in are;
  • China
  • Libya
  • Mongolia
  • South Africa
  • Sweden
  • United States
  • Brazil

Healing properties:

Connected to the heart chakra and water (hence it's inclusion here!!), Amazonite means that it will help you to embrace a fluid and flexible approach to life. 
It is a stone of hope and manifestation.
It helps you go with the flow over life's little speed bumps, it helps clear away doubts, fears and worries, and it fills the void left behind with positivity, optimism and hope.
It helps you open your heart and welcome change as a positive thing.



Larimar:

Larimar is a trade name for a very rare variety of blue pectolite (a silicate mineral) that is found only in one place in the Dominican Republic.
Pectolite is found in many locations, but Larimar has a unique collaboration with volcanic blue, substituting the calcium found in most Pectolites with Copper instead. 
It's chemical formula is NaCa2Si3O8(OH)
It is in the Triclinic crystal system.

Healing properties:

Keywords with Larimar are escape, serenity, relaxation and calm.

It is a stone of the heart and third eye chakras, allowing you to see any emotional situation clearly. 

Linked to the energies of both the sea and the sky, and allows a re-connection with nature, especially in women. 

The stone exudes clarity, vitality, pleasure and a renewed sense of self control. 

It also gives you a sense of equilibrium, suggesting that it may be beneficial in helping those with bi-polar disorders.


As always, speak to a professional before adding any alternative therapies into your health regimen.


I hope this has helped you a little, and that you liked me re-inserting crystals back into the week. As always, let us know below what you think.

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...

Emporiblog - Snow Magick

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...
