CRYSTALS



Although certain stones and crystals have certain properties, they are not something to be used as a "stand alone" method. Don't believe the New Age merchants claims about what this or that crystal will "do" for you if you buy it, wear it etc. You must be a trained "healer" or practitioner to get the results you need from stones & herbs. Don't expect to put on an Amythyst necklace and suddenly become psychic or a sage! And you don't need to spend $15.00 on a candle because it has a crystal in it. That crystal isn't going to add any more power to your spell than a moth ball!!! Your spells are only as effective as the emotions and visualizations you put into them.

Having said that here is a sample of commonly used crystals.
