From my mum’s archives:
How can people discover the magic of crystals and gemstones in their everyday life?
Crystals come in all shapes and sizes. Some are shining, glamorous – and sometimes expensive. Others are rough pieces, seemingly dull – until you know their secrets. A diamond or ruby could be overlooked in its raw state. Many stones are tumbled, cut or faceted to enhance their appearance, but work just as well in their natural form. So you can easily slip a crystal into your pocket or under your pillow and let it do its work.
For a crystal to work its magic, it must be magnetised to your energies. This aligns the crystal to your intent. It helps focus upon precisely what you want your crystal to do and ensures that the crystal will carry out its task. It is intention that makes magic work. Dedicating a crystal greatly enhances the effectiveness of the crystal and ensures that good comes from its use. Take it home, run it under the tap to cleanse its energies, and then hold it in both hands and programme it to respond to you by dedicating it to your specific purpose.
Love radiates out from many crystals and stones can be gently romantic as in the case of Rose Quartz or powerfully erotic like Red Jasper. They attract a soulmate or put a zing into an existing relationship. Crystals change how you feel about yourself, making you more open to love. You can feel love radiating out from many crystals and, worn over the heart, such stones can be very soothing. They have a gentle energy that helps you to accept and love yourself - a prerequisite to being loved by someone else. One of the most enjoyable ways to experience crystal love is to take a bath with your favourite stone. Choose one that radiates out the qualities you seek: passion, romance, self-love, healing for your heart, for instance. Cleanse the crystal and place it in the water, to which you can add a few drops of rose oil. Take a long, hot soak and absorb the energies. If you share the bath with your partner, so much the better. At night, slip the stone under your pillow to reinforce its effects ~ Judy Hall
