Hey everyone, so I was just skimming the weeks challenge and came across the a crystal grid that @christina4 (please correct me if I am wrong), had made for a family member and I wanted to know how do they work and where can I learn to use one? I also saw many other printable grids when I was making my book of shadows⌠does anyone know where I can research what these grids are used for and how I can use them?
The master of crystal grids herself (@Christina4) has created a full guide and how-to in the following post Youâll find a lot of answers here:
Happy crystal work and blessed be!
Thank you i will be sure to learn and try crystal grids. Oh and sorry for all the questions, being very curious is a trait i have not been able to shake in all m y years and i am always hungry for more information to feed my brainâŚ
Youâre very welcome, Khadija! And no worries at all- youâve got amazing enthusiasm for learning, and one of the best ways to learn is through asking questions! And thatâs exactly what the forum is here for You are always free to ask questions or dig through the archives (thereâs a lot- so I recommend using the search tool to help with specific things, itâs my lifeline lol!)
Keep pursuing your interests with passion- and rest assured that if youâve got a magickal question, itâs very likely someone else has it on their mind too! There is a lot we can all gain from one another by sharing our questions
Love and Light to you!
Well, little lamb, isnât that why youâre here.
Weâre delighted to have you here and if one of us doesnât have the answer, another might or at least lead you in the right direction.
For century after century witches hid because of persecution to the point of death.
Iâm not saying that the same prejudice isnât still happening around the world. Even now itâs like weâre different and are treated at times like a newly immigrated people that to be viewed with suspicion.
Ah, well. Nothing is perfect
Blessed be
Thatâs very true well in my situation anyways. See my mother is an Australian Christian but not a very strict one so she is happy as long as well are happy so it wasnât hard telling her that i was coming down the witch path. As for my partner he did not disagree but asked me to keep it quiet in his part of the family as they tend to see witches of any kind as sinners or doing the devilâs work and they will think you are out to get you and you are dangerous Only other drama i have here is anything even a headache or if i spend too much time practicing or learning my partner gets quite agitated and unfortunately the result wasnât good last week (my Altar was thrown across the room pull from the Altar cloth) . I am although very grateful for my sonâs nephew in fact, as he was the one learning witchcraft through shamans overseas and as he knows i am open minded told me and so i decided to do my own research which lead me here. Only difference though is he is looking into a more satanic witchcraft or black magick, and i have warned him many time to be careful but as a young teenager he is very determined to go his pathâŚ
Apples and oranges, both are fruits but decidedly different.
We must choose what path we follow.
That, for me, is whatâs great about paganism, thereâs no drive to convert or someone wanting to âsave meâ
âI donât need saving, Iâm not lost.â
Again, itâs choices.â
For many years I practiced in secret because my man disapproved my change from Christianity to Paganism. My family thought I was just a ding bat. In the end, it didnât matter. Rich bought me a she-shed where I can practice to my hearts content. And his non-practicing Baptist soul is safe from my witchy ways
Blessed be.
Yes. I think fear of the unknown sometimes is an issue. My husband has been getting zapped and he has been saying âsee look how strong you are gettingâ or something along the line of âdonât go putting a spell against meâ⌠weird thing is though, people in my husband family and cultureâs for that matter, have been known to cast so called âprayersâ on people such as me to calm me down like when I decided that I didnât want to live under menâs rules so apparently my husband and bothers travelled so far when we were on holiday just to go see a so called priest (shaman) as they say to get a spell like necklace written with all kind of things that is taped up good⌠I was told it is for migraines⌠Maybe so but I will never know since their language is my second learner on and I can only fluently speak not write or read FarsiâŚ
Yours, My Dear is a very difficult position to be in. I respect who you are and what you do, but donât ever put yourself in jeopardy over this. Magick is focus and mental. Donât get lost in the trappings at the cost of your life
I pray for your safety.
Thank you and I understand itâs just what I strongly believe in is my life, and i just canât allow anyone to change that even if my circumstances are difficult⌠To me being in danger or being unsafe is to live in an environment which is ruled by others without any say I it. Itâs funny coming from me since I was born in a family with no limits to what you can do then changed my religion at 15 and met my husband at 18 where my husbandâs cultural beliefs are that men are the superior if you like and I always contest that and probably always will⌠My husband says to me that all I have less to him is an appendage other wise I am like a man in many ways, but I just say what men can do so can women⌠we are equalsâŚ
Ahhh, but what a man you are! lol
Is he Muslim, too? Is the same true of his family? Fear of the unknown and fear oneâs personal beliefs (their core being) are under attack are amazing motivators for âviolenceâ. Itâs a little late to stay in the Broom Closet but Iâve found when someone believes something so strongly (no matter the belief) itâs best to not flaunt what you believe in front of them.
Youâve asked before about being Muslim and Wiccan at the same time. Itâs possible to be Wiccan and have beliefs and rituals from Islam. Itâs not possible the other way around.
As you have already stated, Islam is against idols. Some branches are against images of people and animals, too. Idols of the Goddess in the home are a great way to invite fear in your husband and his family. Please be careful. I donât want you to be scared but I do want you to be wise in how you proceed.
As for his concerns about magic being cast on him or you zapping him,
I come from an extreme version of Christianity but what I said in that quote is true for less extreme forms of all faiths. Dark magic doesnât exist. And even if it did, it would be useless against a follower of The Divine no matter how they understand âitâ.
It looks like your question about crystal grids has been answered but your other topic within this one about his concerns needed addressed. I hope this helps.
Thanks @praecog29 as for my husband and family, they do constantly preach there is none other higher than god, and that evil will not harm them, but from what I have seen this is not so true since they strongly believe in others performing black magic/ witchcraft upon them⌠To be honest my husband is afraid of my high sense of achievement life and all the hurdles i over come⌠He has expressed repeatedly that I scare him with all my independence and he feels he is not in control where as growing up he was the one is chargeâŚ
