A Crystal Shopping List
Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Tudorbeth, author of The Hedgewitch’s Little Library, including the latest release in the series, The Hedgewitch’s Little Book of Crystal Spells.
When people catch the crystal bug, they think they need every single one for every purpose, but really we only need a handful. These multifaceted stones and crystals can do everything for us just like herbs—we really don’t need many, just four or five and they do the job nicely. I often call them the Master Crystals, and all you need is three.
Here is a shopping list for three stones never to be without:
1. Quartz
What can I say? Basically, stop shopping right here, as a good quartz crystal can do wonders and can cover everything. It comes in array of colours, from browny smoky quartz through to a pinky rose quartz, though each resonate on a specific level they all have a generic power (which is to heal and heal anything). Quartz is so wonderous that I feature it in the first pages of my book, The Hedgewitch’s Little Book of Crystal Spells, where I go into more detail about this amazing stone.
2. Amethyst
Give me a good amethyst any day! This beautiful crystal can work wonders on the mind, body, and soul. It is often used to combat the addictive behaviour/behaviors with alcohol, drugs, gambling, and even shopping. It can be used to ground and calm if you are feeling anxious and depressed, as it is a great mood stabiliser. It can bring about peace at work if there has been a dispute or confrontation—pop a piece on your desk or carry it in your bag to counteract any toxic vibes aimed towards you.
3. Citrine
Wow! Where to begin with this one?! It can be used, just like the previous two, for absolutely everything. It can be powerful with stomach complaints through to successful business deals and money making ventures. It can enhance creativity and empower you with good leadership qualities and confidence. Citrine is great for empowering your solar plexus and giving a boost to absolutely anything you put your mind, body, and soul to.
So, there you have it: my Master Crystals, the three crystals that I wouldn’t be without. All are readily available at any good crystal shop or new age shop.
Blessed be!
