Crystal Collections - Vivianite

-
Hello all! I'm revamping our crystal series with a new name and a crystal that is quite fitting for the time of the year!

Today's crystal is.... Vivianite!


What is Vivianite?

Vivianite is a crystal that was first discovered in Cornwall at Wheal Kind in St Agnes and was named after either John Henry Vivian or Jeffrey G Vivian and usually measures between 1.5 - 2 on the Mohs scale. It is also referred to as Necro Crystal, Necromancy Stone and Corpse Crystal, which we'll get to in a moment (if you're squeamish or sensitive to the topic, scroll away now). 


Appearance 

Vivianite in it's purest form is actually colourless but, when exposed to air, the minerals it's comprised of oxidise which gives it a deep blue to deep green and most shades in-between colour. Vivianite will also naturally get darker over time 


Where is Vivianite found?

Vivianite can be found inside fossils, specifically fossilised shells and on fossilised bone. It can also be found in iron rich environments, iron coffins or on bodies buried in iron coffins 


Uses in Witchcraft 

Here are some uses of Vivianite within the craft:

- Necromancy 
- Spirit work 
- Spirit Communication/Communication in general 
- Enhancing intuition 
- Emotional strength/balance 
- Overcoming trauma and pain (emotional)
- Connecting to the throat, heart and third eye chakra
- Creating an atmosphere of compassion 
- Grounding 
- Absorbing negativity/evil
- Dispelling negativity 
- Healing 
- Reducing stress and anxiety 


NEVER SUBSTITUTE A CRYSTAL FOR MEDICATION OR TREATMENT 


I think we'll leave this one here! I'm not sure how frequent these posts will be but if you have a crystal you want covered, let us know! If the crystal was covered in our Crystal Wednesday series, I'll redo it in the new format!

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

(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 unwanted
