Crystals and Gems
Crystals and gemstones carry their own steady and reliable energies, these glimmering pieces of earth formed over millennia by pressure and perhaps a bit of magic. They can act as a focus or a talisman, be part of a spell or part of a ritual tool. Cleanse in water or salt or sunlight or moonlight (know your stone’s nature first – some can fade or crack); charge in light or in your hand or on your altar; store them wrapped, respected, and not forgotten. Their value lies not in rarity or glamour, but in how well they resonate with the worker and the work at hand.
Bloodstone
Bloodstone carries the weight of ancient earth—deep green jasper marked with flecks of red like drops of blood on moss. It is a stone of courage, vitality, and protection, grounding fierce energy into the body and steadying the spirit when resolve is needed. In witchcraft, bloodstone strengthens the will, shields against harm, and connects us to the primal forces of life and survival.
Amethyst
There is something about amethyst that calls to many of us. Its purple depths like twilight over a quiet field, carrying both calm and clarity. In witchcraft, this stone is prized for its versatility: peace, wisdom, protection, cleansing, and healing all fall within its reach. It moves easily through many forms of practice, from ritual tools to dreamwork to simple talismans tucked in a pocket.
