📿 Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - A Healthy Dose of Stones and Crystals

[Jeannie1]

CelestialMoon,
Thanks for sharing Kyanite! I like that
Kyanite promotes good communication, and bridging the gap between different beliefs and ideas, and encourages self-expression and speaking one’s truth!
I need some of that!!!

I first heard of and learned about the triple moon goddess in Spellbinder, Book 3 of Night World Series) and I wouldn’t be surprised if she practices herself. Thanks for the lovely poem too

Thanks, I will look into Night World Series and I think it’s neat she practices herself!
I just got some lapis! It’s a great stone!

Iris - Thank you for the correspondence for the crystals for Litha! You are an inspiration to me, all the time! Thank you!

Francisco,
Amazing that table salt is a crystal!
Thank you for the book recommendation, I think I’ll put it on my book list to incorporate on Amazon. I am trying to use salt more in my rituals so thank you, for the crystal grids and the blueprint for crystals! I have quite a collection now.

Christina- “Fantastic” I love the creative art you created! When I get home I am going to try to create a grid! Thanks for this inspiration. I like the petrified wood, it is my favorite! And you did a great job on the drawing. I never was good at drawing people.

Mary- Hi I thought this was very interesting, can you please emphasize? I was just wondering about the citrine chip?

Ooh, that sounds as if you’ve had a lovely spa day @mary25! Way to go!

[mary25]

Well, i was searching online for beauty and cosmetics with crystals when i found a topcoat at Sephora that had amethysts in it. I had citrine chips so i just dropped them in the bottle of top coat i already had. It doesn’t change the nail polish except to maybe give it some energy. Now I will have happy feet

[Susurrus]

That’s awesome! I have some chips that I could do that with for my daughter! Thank you for the idea & inspiration!

I love doing this , it strengthens me.

Mary,
That’s great now your fingers and hands will be charged with lots of intentions! Yeaha!

I worked with my Witches Runes they are made of citrine. I bought the theme because I like citrine and it was gifted to me once. So I decided to work with citrine. I am Libra too!
Citrine Meaning!

I decided to make a sacred space before I cast my runes and mediate and cast a circle of protection before I read my stones!

Awesome information about salt!!! Not everyone knows that it’s a crystal!!!

[christina4]

That’s a great point to make your own black salt!!! I love doing that!! Thanks so much for the info

[christina4]

I love this!!! It’s amazing! I love the runes and I love your altar cloth!!! Thanks @Jeannie1

[Garnet]

OMG Jeanie, every time I think I have a handle on Altar envy somebody puts up an Altar that actually takes my breath. Sigh

PS this is my envy dragon

[Rowan]

For my challenge entry I chose to give gratitude to my favorite stone: The Tiger Eye. When I began my path with crystals and stones, the first one I purchased was a citrine ball, which is gorgeous in its own rights. Then I ordered a Tigers Eye bracelet. From the moment I removed it from the box I felt an immense sense of strength. I struggle with anxiety and OCD so chaos within my mind and body at times was a daily occurrence. When I began wearing my Tigers Eye bracelet it felt as though I had a rein on all that rustling chaos. Amazingly enough if I didn’t wear it, I would feel exposed; almost as my bracelet was like putting armor on. It is with me every day, I remove it to shower and only then.
My crystal/stone collection is small but expanding, but this one will always be my favorite companion.

Blessed Be,

[Susurrus]

Eeekkk… @Rowan my all time favorite stones are the Tiger’s Eye stones. I have a bit of all 3 but the golden tiger’s eye has my heart first. I had no idea it was your favorite too! That’s awesome! Yay!

[Garnet]

Wow, your tigers eyes are gorgeous! I bought a complete set of crystal recipes if you will.

I hope this helps too.

[Rowan]

Thank you! @Garnet

[Jeannie1]

I love Tigers Eye Rowan,
Definitely a great stone to have.

Thank you Christina and Garnet for your compliments

@Jeannie1 beautiful Altar. Looks so tranquil and inviting.
Blessed be.

[mary25]

How beautiful! Looking at this, it’s becoming apparent to me that constructing altars and altar arrangements is an art form, a type of creative self-expression as well as a spiritual practice.

[IrisW]

I get exactly what you mean. I find the process of putting together my altar satisfies my arty side as well as my spiritual side, and to be quite therapeutic.

Yes I likely pretty things, but there’s a purpose behind it that feeds my craft

[praecog29]

This really has nothing to do with the challenge but I heard there was a store nearby that had “the largest amethyst in Michigan”. I’ve seen bigger amethyst online but never in person. I thought I would share. There was also something that reminded me of a cauldron sitting nearby.

This same store has rose quartz balls as big as my head but I didn’t take pictures of them. Apparently both crystals are found throughout Michigan and into Canada.

I think the price on this said 26000! It was a lot.
