Hello. So, many people say that using crystals are a good tool for magickal works. I have a few questions about them: what are the crystals porpoise when casting or doing a ritual? How are some ways or techniques that I could use them for spell casting? Does involving crystals increase the good or bad effects or outcomes after doing a spell and or ritual? What if you don't have a real crystal but you have a fake one, will it be just as affective or ineffective as a real one? Lots of questions, but that's just me looking for some answers. Thanks :)
1.what are the crystals purpose when casting or doing a ritual?
You can use them for about most anything.
2. How are some ways or techniques that I could use them for spell casting?
Purification Ritual. You should always cleanse new crystals before using them in spell casting or any thing.
3. Does involving crystals increase the good or bad effects or outcomes after doing a spell and or ritual?
Crystals are seen as tools so the one who cast them will allow the good or bad effect to happen.
4. What if you don't have a real crystal but you have a fake one, will it be just as affective or ineffective as a real one?
If you treat it as it would be it may have the same effect just weaker. I have never used faked crystals So I am unaware of it. But i have used shells for casting in the past.
Gemstones are influential. Some, from my experience, are way to much. Again, they are influential. For instance, obsidian will bring too many things to the surface, but that is just my opinion. Amethyst can allow me to walk through a hospital without an anxiety attack. Amethyst is soothing. Clear quartz just seems to make everything clear. Some stones you just have to spend time with. I think smokey quartz is an absolutely must have, with my experience it simply dissipates your frustration.
There is actually a lot to know about gemstones, let alone crystals in itself. I can't remember why I like blue appetite so much. Oh that's right, something about drive. It and hematite had a similar influence for me. Some stones are really great at letting you get in touch with your higher self, which is really like putting a good head on your shoulders.
In my opinion, there is lots of reading, meditation and your own conclusions to do and make. I collect stones. Blue topaz is one of my favorites. I can't put a single favorite on my mind.
To make this sweet and short, I've seen a high priest have what seemed to be a mookaite stone on his altar. I believe mookaite usually comes from Australia. Correct me if I am wrong please. Another awesome stone. Mookaite always seemed to influence adventures and short travels for me, and it is kind of my go to wiseman's stone.
You spend enough time with stones, you'll drive yourself mind boggling mad and start to feel sensations from some stones.
Simply go get your first stone if you haven't gotten one yet, and spend time with it. I mean in your daily tasks. Hold it at times. Put it in your pocket. Do this for a week, then look up the properties.
A shaman friend used to teach me things through a personal stone of hers. Things she needed to teach me. Enlightenment. Well, first learn to meditate. If there is anything to magick learn to meditate. You'll know when your meditating when you got it down.
How much should one meditate? I don't know. I don't really know, that's for others to find out for themselves. I would say it is equivalent to hours of one's sports practice. Or in some cases, how ever long you'll play a video game.
Actual crystals are simply great at directing energy. Some are great for blood circulation if you believe in it. I know I would with any quartz for their electromagnetic wave absorbing effects. Electromagnetic waves from electronics are speculated not to be good for your body, because some scientists from Austria have discovered or hypothesized that these waves electronics emit simply stress your body out, or can. In a nut shell, the idea is that your blood cells tend to clump together because your strand of DNA, which is in every red blood cell, acts as an antenna. I don't understand everything, but if this were true, to be fact, or highly recognized in the scientific community, then you got researchers saying cellphone usage may cause you to have a brain tumor.
Interesting how that little speal came out. My dad thought I was crazy when I was talking about electromagnetic waves not being good for your health, then sixth months later he hears it on the radio to be speculated.
If you go out for a walk some day, and find a rock that catches your eye and it has to be somewhat big, and place it somewhere in the main living room, and with the intent in mind: you're house will feel and be more stable.
My advice to you, is that there is no try in magick. Just do it.
