“When you stop chasing your dreams, your dreams start chasing you.”
― Dez Del Rio
Hi Beauties, and welcome to Wicca Now! Recently I’ve been talking a lot about crystals, like these posts about how to cleanse your crystals, which crystals are good for anxiety and how healing crystals work. Today I thought we’d continue on this path and explore crystals for protection.
We must share the standard disclaimer that we are not a doctors and cannot give out medical advice. Crystals for healing should be used only as a compliment to other therapies and not as a replacement for regular medical care and or medication. Please always consult a medical professional.
The word crystal actually comes from the Greek word ‘Krystallos’ meaning ‘ice and ‘kruos’ meaning cold. The Greeks found quartz crystals high-up in the alpine mountains and assumed that these were chunks of ice, frozen so deeply that they could never thaw (hence the name ‘ice-cold’). Because of their crystalline structure and ethereal beauty, crystals have been highly prized throughout history and many ancient cultures believed that with the help of crystals a direct connection to the divine could be established.
Crystals really do make wonderful companions, whether placed on an altar or a night table, carried in a pocket during the day, worn as jewellery or placed under a pillow at night when its time for sleep.
Just as some plants are more suited to certain types of spellwork and magick than others, certain crystals are also more suited for protection purposes than others. As with all magickal work, take your time to really get to know each crystal and discover its unique benefits before moving on to the next stone.
It’s important to ensure you have a clear intention and that you are not overly tired or stressed before attempting any spellwork or crystal magick. I always suggest at least a short meditation before you starting with any spellwork. Having a clear and focused mind will make your spells so much more effective. It’s really worth the effort I promise.
What Is The Most Powerful Protection Crystal?
Clear Quartz
Clear quartz acts as an energy amplifier and can be used to ‘wash’ negative energies away from the body and the environment. If you are feeling in need of strong energetic protection (perhaps there is someone toxic at work or within your family whom you feel negatively affected by) I suggest wearing or carrying a piece of clear quartz with you.
To activate the crystal carry it in your pocket for 7 days. This will attune the crystal to your own specific frequency. Keeping quartz close to you will help to protect you from day to day stress and the stones piezoelectric charge will help to dispell negative energies.
When you meditate hold the charged quartz crystal on your ‘crown or third eye’ chakra and allow it to bring you clarity and insight.
Place your charged quartz crystal under your pillow before sleep to help your subconscious mind work through issues and help to remove any negative thought patterns that you may have.
Passing a clear quartz crystal over each of your bodies energy centres will help to clear any energetic blockages. You can also rub the affected area with a charged clear quartz crystal as you visualise a beam of golden light passing from the crystal into the area of concern.
What Crystal Protects From Negative Energy?
Jasper
Jasper is a wonderfully protective stone. Carrying or wearing jasper is said to provide protection from misfortune and in ancient cultures, jasper was known as the ‘rain bringer’.
Jasper is great for ‘grounding’ – when you need to feel connected to the earth again. Hold a piece of jasper or place it on your solar plexus as you lie on the ground and focus on feeling the connection to the earth.
If you are feeling anxious or lacking in confidence carry a piece of green jasper with you. In moments of insecurity take the stone in your left hand and gently rub it on on the palm of your right hand in circular motions. Feel the calming energy of the stone and visualise it throwing a green circle of protection around you.
Wear an amulet made from a piece of jasper or carry a charged piece of jasper in your pocket to protect you from negative energies. This works wonderfully if you have been the victim of gossip and will help to protect you from slander.
