Solstice Journey + Crystal Magic!

Rituals

Dec 20

Happy Solstice!

For those who keep the olde ways in the northern hemisphere, while the winter solstice (Yule) marks the longest night of the year, it also heralds the dawn of a new one.

The Oak King will triumph over the Holly King. The sun will grow stronger. Warmth and life will slowly return to the land.

It is a time of wish magic, setting intentions and divination work for the coming year.

Conversely, in the southern hemisphere, the summer solstice (Litha) marks the longest day of the year.

It is a time of fairy magic, manifestation, and celebrating the abundant splendors of the earth, before the sun begins to wane.

Here are some crystal suggestions for this magical day. You can wear them to tune into the energy of these magical days, and to enhance any of your manifestation, healing, ritual, or spiritual workings.

Winter Solstice

Staurolyte: the liminal point between spirit and earth, access to other realms, the place where magic + intentions begin
Smoky quartz: clearing of negativity, stress, grounding light for a fresh start
Sunstone: the power of the sun, activation of potential, divinely guided action, innermost knowledge
Merlinite: divination, psychic sight, the mastery of realms

Summer Solstice

Green apophyllite: communication + connection to the fairy realm, the divine spirit of nature, amplifies earth magic
Ruby: wealth, love, passion, sovereignty, and abundance
Rhodonite: the grounding of the heart's pleasures in the earthly realm, love attraction, love-making
White topaz: Manifestation, achievement of goals and dreams, law of attraction

Blessed be, everyone, may you enjoy feasting and fun on this day!

The Great Spiritual Anti-Climax

One of the many wonders of the spiritual path are those deep, mystical, spiritual experiences we sometimes have in meditation, ritual, or nature that changes our lives.

But Spirit is potent medicine, and sometimes after experiencing the wonders, forces, or touch of Creation, we’re left in a post-exhilaration slump that I call “the spiritual anti-climax”…

Entering the Bloodstone Cube

No matter what’s happening inside or out, my crystals are always a source of solace for me, their stable frequencies + gentle spirits have carried me through the worst of times. Here’s the vision I received on how to establish a cube in my aura and weave crystal light codes into the structure…

On Surrendering My Business to Spirit

I’ve been in the process these past few months of deepening into my trust in Spirit, and the stone consciousness, by honoring the Universal forces that shape us and the higher powers that guide us. I’ve been letting go of my need to control (a fear-based impulse motivated by the need for safety), and allowing myself to be guided, supported, provided-for in my life and work.

Crystal Bliss at the Solstice

As the summer unfolds with the upcoming solstice (or winter, depending on where you are), consider skipping out on the circles, gatherings, chants, rituals. Consider spending it quietly, in nature, with your soul, Spirit, and a sacred stone.

Your Crystal Eclipse Survival Kit

We have a partial solar eclipse happening on Saturday April 30th at 18:45 UTC , and I’ve been feeling the churning this past week:

Shadow aspects, unhappy memories, frustrations, and discontents – it’s very like the eclipse to bring these things to the surface.

New Crystal Techniques for Your Daily Spiritual Practice

I feel now more than ever that having a daily spiritual practice is not only necessary for your spiritual growth and wellbeing, but a healing practice that grounds light and high frequencies in this world. A daily practice with crystals doesn’t need to take a huge amount of time.

Walking the Labyrinth with Crystal Consciousness

I’ve always been fascinated by labyrinths. Mazes are puzzles that have many paths and possibilities, often complex and confusing (not unlike life, I grant you), but unicursal labyrinths have one path that will lead you to center. Keep following the path, and you will reach your goal.

Evolving into the New Abundance Frequency

This is a planet of abundance, and as we tap into that frequency which is high, light, and ever so juicy, on a spiritual level we instantly begin to feel nourished and fulfilled.
