This is my first post about crystals that are essential for a beginner/baby witch, like myself. You can put crystals in your altar, carry them around with you, put them under your pillow. It is up to you how you decide to work with them. I’ll do a post on how to cleanse them later on, if you guys are interested.
Crystals
Amethyst: Transmutes negative energy into positive. Helps to calm your mind and thoughts, great for meditation, prevents nightmares (put an amethyst under your pillow to help you sleep) Opens our crown chakra. This is a great stone to help your intuition grow.
Clear Quartz: Amplifies your energies and thoughts, as well as other crystals. Neutralization, balance, clarity, calmness, harmony. This is a great crystal to direct energy to a particular intention, or a certain place. Activates white, positive light and energy.
Black Tourmaline: Absorbs negative energy. Aids the flow of energy around electronic devices, absorbing electromagnetic waves. You can put black tourmaline near your desk or work space. Protection against negative energy.
Green Quartz: Balance, strength, cleansing, healing, prosperity, success. Works great with the heart chakra and it’s a complement to the rose quartz.
