Negativity Knock-Out Spray

Hello everyone.

I've been working on modifying the recipe for Hibiscus Moon's "Negativity Neutralizer Spray." It isn't that her recipe is difficult or the process too time consuming. I simply wanted to add my own personal touch and amp up the energy a little bit. In fact, my first batch probably won't even be a spray at all!

It's looking like it's going to be more of an anointing "oil" meets cleanser that comes in a bottle with a dropper. This will make it perfect for putting a small amount on your crystals (those that can handle water, of course!) to soak up all the gunk they may be collecting. I've been telling you all that great things are on the way, and this is only the first of many!

Once I have the recipe perfected I'll be selling it via my Etsy shop.
Keep an eye peeled for that. Since my shop is currently on hiatus, signing up for an email alert by clicking the link above is a great way to get an email announcement to known when I'm back in business.

If you're interested in making your own Gem Elixirs (it really is easier than you think), check out this handy guide by Hibiscus Moon. The guide contains video instructions and even contains recipes, such as her "Negativity Neutralizer Spray."

Online Witchy Shopping? Yes please!

I don't know what it is about my relaxation routine that gets me in the mood to shop, but I've done it again. I placed an order for a variety of items last night, and now I'm forced to wait for the USPS and UPS to deliver my items. We all know that's really the hardest part, because spending money is the easiest thing I've ever done in my life. I'm pretty sure I learned how to do that when I was 2 years old.


I have a nice variety of crystals and herbs headed my way. I'm excited to get back to creating and looking into restocking my Etsy shop to get it functioning again. I haven't forgotten about the Crystals for Neophytes series either. I've been sidetracked by a few things, but these next few days should get be caught up and back on schedule.

I'm also going to be uploading a review of a shipment of crystals I received over a period of two weeks. Maybe it's a good thing my debit card is about to expire?

Until next time.

4) Blue Lace Agate

Blue Lace Agate is a soothing stone. Often corresponding with the throat chakra, uses include anything relating to communication. I have only two tumbled pieces of BLA because I have found that they work so well for me that purchasing more of them isn't necessary. I especially like using this crystal when working with my throat chakra. A few weeks ago I felt a cold coming on and I knew a sore throat was sure to follow. Deciding I had nothing to lose, I grabbed one of my crystals and placed it on my throat for twenty minutes as I caught up on the week's television shows that I had DVR'd.

I ended up getting a cold that lasted just over two weeks. What's amazing is that I didn't get a sore throat at all, which always accompanies a cold from my experience. Some would find this a coincidence, but the fact that Blue Lace Agate is so closely tied to the throat gives me the confidence to know that this wasn't a fluke. Crystal healing is real, and we can use it to enhance our health and being about the change we desire.

The Next Crystal Is....

3) Selenite

Some people find this crystal impossible to hold for extended periods because of it's extremely high vibration. Selenite, one of the three forms of Gypsum, is readily available and at moderate prices. It is water-soluble, so keeping it dry and away from dampness is paramount in ensuring that you have it for quite some time.

When used in conjunction with other crystals, Selenite has the ability to strengthen the power of others like a battery. It is also a powerful aid for clearing blockages from the aura and during meditative sessions in which one is trying to receive messages from Spirit.

When I first started out on this path, I had difficulty sensing the energies of crystals. Holding Selenite changed me because as soon as I touched it, whatever was blocking me was cleared and I felt it's energy almost immediately. I suggest this crystal because of that reason, as well as it's amplification properties.

Message of the Day

I drew two Crystal Guidance cards today. I received Ametrine and Red Tiger's Eye. The messages each card represents is in the photo below. Tell me, does this message ring true for you as well? Comment below.

Something Special

I decided to draw a few Crystal Guidance cards before heading off to work. Here are my results.
I find the message quite clear. Don't you?

Sorry about the poor lighting. I'm looking at ways to improve it.

Delays

I apologize for the delay in posting the 10 Crystals for the Neophyte series. I am off work for the next two days and will have time to finish writing about the eight remaining crystals. I also am planning on creating some YouTube videos, which I will embed as they become available by updating the previous entries and posting them along with the new ones. I promise that I haven't forgotten about what I promised you. I just need a little bit more time to get it developed and ready to release.

We should be caught up by Thursday. ;)

2) Black Tourmaline

Welcome back for the second in my list of ten stones that every neophyte crystal healer or crystal magic practitioner should have. Today we have: Black Tourmaline!



Like many other people, I first became curious about Black Tourmaline through HibiscusMoon's YouTube videos. This baby can absorb a lot of negativity and transmute it into something positive. Black Tourmaline comes in a variety of sizes and with varying degree of quality, but even the smallest and cheapest can be a powerful ally.

Also known as Schorl, Black Tourmaline is associated with the Root Chakra and brings stability and grounding to those that meditate with it. It helps to cleanse and purify us so that we can greet the world with a positive outlook. For that reason, I suggest keeping some next to your pillow at night. Also a powerful protector, you can also use Black Tourmaline in a crystal grid or by simply placing a piece in each corner of a room.

Another beneficial quality is that it can help protect us from electromagnetic stress. Placing a piece on your computer, satellite dish, Internet router, and anything else that strikes your fancy will help alleviate the electromagnetic forces we interact with. If you don't own any, I suggest that you purchase a few rods or tumbled pieces to experience all that it can offer. You won't be disappointed.

Ametrine

Ametrine is a personal favorite of mine, as you can easily tell from some of my previous posts about it. Hailing from South America, the best quality pieces come from the Anahí mine in Bolivia. It is also sometimes referred to as Bolivianite as a geographic reference. This specific crystal features the merging of two of the world's most popular specimens: Amethist and Citrine.

At times this crystal can be difficult to come by in it's rough state, but tumbles are readily available through Etsy, EBay, and dozens of online rock and gem stores, which will feature smaller rough pieces from time to time. Tumbled, it's price is typically under $3.00 per stone. While that may seem like a lot, an investment in a few Ametrine pieces will give you the best properties of both Amethyst and Citrine, as well as provide you with a foundation for working with those two stones individually in the future.

It has been said that Ametrine helps us to focus our dreams and manifest them into reality. It is used to activate both the Solar Plexus (Citrine) and Crown (Amethyst) chakras. If you have students in your household, gifting them with a bit of Ametrine will help them with their ability to focus and study, thus retaining more information.

On a personal level, I am able to feel both the soothing and energetic aspects depending on what my specific needs are. This is a great stone to meditate with and I use it in crystal grids and elixirs.
