Magikal Uses of Stones and Metals
Crystals, Stones and Metals play an important part in the magic and ritual of many Pagans and Witches, due to the wide variety of magical energies that they offer. Listed below are some of the more popular varieties, with attributes and/or a brief listing of appropriate magical intents for each.
One thing to remember when using Crystals, Stone and Metals is that they should always be cleansed before use, and between uses. This can be done in a number of ways. One way is to bury them at the Full Moon (be sure to mark the spot!) and then dig them up at the New Moon. Another way is to put them in a place where they will have access to moonlight, all night, every night, from Full Moon to New Moon. They can also be cleansed by the elements in ritual, by passing them through each element in turn. Or, if a crystal has not been used, but has simply picked up energy from another crystal that it has been stored with (a fairly common occurrence with Quartz), you can simply set it out overnight in a bowl of Moon Water in fresh water which is put out in a silver or clear glass bowl to absorb the light of the Full Moon, and then bottled for later use with just a pinch of salt added, then collect the stone and discard the water in the morning.
