Crystal Properties

Sacred Meadow Circle Virtual Gathering Discussion Summary:

Thank you to those who were able to attend the Sacred Meadow Circle Virtual Gathering with the suggested topic of discussion about Working with Animals

The group had an in-depth exploration of crystal properties and their uses in spiritual and magickal practices. The group shared various experiences and methods for incorporating crystals into different rituals and healing practices, including discussions about crystal care, identification, and metaphysical properties. The discussion started particularly focusing on Labradorite, which several members described as a grounding and protective stone. Bryan explained how he incorporates crystals into his practice through wearing them as jewelry and discussed the metaphysical properties associated with different stones.

The conversation also touched on the concept that if a crystal breaks while being used for a specific purpose, there is a wide belief amongst some practitioners that it may mean that the crystal is no longer needed. We discussed various ways to incorporate crystals into spellwork practices.

Crystals can be shaped into specific forms to enhance their magical properties, and shared examples of their historical uses. Participants shared personal experiences with crystals, including using them for meditation, confidence, and protection  Some shared their experiences like using black obsidian for grounding and selenite for cleansing, and during Reiki sessions as well as other modalities.

Another technique described was incorporating crushed crystals into candle spells and using the melted wax from these spells in future rituals. Shuvanga expressed an appreciation for selenite, particularly for its use in cleansing jewelry and as an alternative to incense or smoke cleansing. The participants shared their experiences and preferences for different crystals, highlighting the versatility and personalization of their practices. 

We talked about using them for cleansing, grounding, and directing energy. It was explained how different crystals have specific properties that can be harnessed for intentions with examples like prosperity or love. Bryan described using crystals as energy storage devices, similar to a battery, which can help prevent burnout for practitioners.  

Crystals are used in technology, particularly in phones and watches, and we briefly spoke on the rising cost and scarcity of crystals due to geopolitical factors. We shared even more information about different types of crystals, including Shungite, Labradorite, and Moldavite, explaining their unique properties and origins. It's important to note that not all rocks are crystals, as crystals have a specific crystalline structure. 

It was suggested to research local geological formations to find crystals in your area.
