Selenite

Selenite, satin spar, desert rose, gypsum flower are crystal habit varieties of the mineral gypsum.

All varieties of gypsum, including selenite and alabaster, are composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (meaning that it has two molecules of water), with the chemical formula CaSO4·2H2O.

Selenite contains no significant selenium – The similar names both derive from Greek selḗnē (σελήνη ‘Moon’)

Some of the largest crystals ever found are of selenite, the largest specimen found in the Naica Mine’s Cave of the Crystals being 12 metres long and weighing 55 tons.

History and etymology

“Selenite” is mostly synonymous with gypsum, but from the 15th century, it has named the transparent variety that occurs in crystals or crystalline masses.

The name derives through Middle English selenite from Latin selenites, ultimately from Greek selēnítēs líthos (σεληνίτης λίθος, lit. ’moon stone’).

It got this name because people historically believed the mineral waxed and waned with the cycles of the Moon.

Distinguishing characteristics

The main distinguishing characteristics of crystalline gypsum are its softness (hardness 2 on Mohs scale, soft enough to scratch with a fingernail) and its three unequal cleavages.

Other distinguishing characteristics include its crystal habits, pearly lustre, easy fusibility with loss of water, and solubility in hot dilute hydrochloric acid.

Varieties

Though sometimes grouped together as “selenite”, the four crystalline varieties have differences. General identifying descriptions of the related crystalline varieties are:

Selenite
Most often transparent and colorless
If selenite crystals show opacity or color, it is caused by the presence of other minerals, sometimes in druse[

Satin spar
Most often silky and fibrous;[8] chatoyant; can exhibit some coloration
The satin spar name has also been applied to fibrous calcite (a related calcium mineral), which can be distinguished from gypsum by its greater hardness (Mohs 3), rhombohedral cleavage, and reaction with dilute hydrochloric acid.

Desert rose
See also: Desert rose (crystal)
Rosette-shaped gypsum with outer druse of sand or with sand throughout – most often sand colored (in all the colors that sand can exhibit)[
The desert rose name can also be applied to barite desert roses (another related sulfate mineral) – barite is a harder mineral with higher density

Gypsum flower
Gypsum flowers are curved rosettes of fibrous gypsum crystals found in solution caves.

Why crystals work

Clear Quartz has been on Earth since the beginning of time and ancient civilizations have used crystals as protective talismans, peace offerings, and jewelry. Today, quartz makes up 12% of the Earth’s crust and is used in almost every kind of technology, including time keeping, electronics, information storage, and more. If it’s possible for crystals to communicate through computer chips, then isn’t it possible that this vibrational energy could be transformed in other ways? And with its connection to the Earth and its life giving elements, it makes sense that crystals are universally healing, especially since they’ve made their mark in almost every civilization before us.Do crystals work? One of the first pieces of scientific evidence relating to the power of crystals is the work done by IBM scientist Marcel Vogel. While watching crystals grow under a microscope, he noticed that their shape took the form of whatever he was thinking about. He hypothesized that these vibrations are the result of the constant assembling and disassembling of bonds between molecules. He also tested the metaphysical power of quartz crystal and proved that rocks can store thoughts similar to how tapes use magnetic energy to record sound.

Albert Einstein said everything in life is vibration, and just like sound waves, your thoughts match the vibrations of everything that manifests in your life. Therefore, if you think crystals have healing potential, the positive vibes of the stones will amplify those thoughts.At every moment, we have the ability to choose our thoughts and as we continue our journey, each day presents us with new challenges and wonderful beginnings. Healing crystals remind us to quiet the chatter of the mind and reconnect to the universally healing vibrations of the Earth. An important lesson to learn from crystals is patience, because just like the eons of time it took for these semi-precious stones to evolve and transform, working with the healing power of crystals also takes time. As you learn, grow, and evolve, use crystals as a reminder to be grateful for the abundance of Mother Nature and the great mysteries of the universe.

Cleansing and Charging Crystals

It is important to keep your crystals in good condition for magick practice. Here is a guide with several ways to cleanse and charge your crystals. With Salt ~Burying a crystal in a bowl of salt, sprinkling salt around it, or sometimes soaking it in saltwater are all good ways to cleanse a crystal. Salt has natural cleansing powers and will soak up negative energy. Consider the magickal properties of salt. It’s a purifier, a cleanser, and a protector. Use it to strengthen protective, purifying, or cleansing stones. As with all methods of charging, focus on what you would like the purpose of your crystal to be. Charge your crystal with that intent.With Water ~Be careful when it comes to cleansing crystals with water, as some cannot withstand the liquid very well, but water does have cleansing properties. Consider the element Water. It is healing, emotional, loving, and gentle, and it is traditionally used as a cleanser in religious ceremonies. By soaking a stone in a bowl of water, you are washing out any negative energies. Soaking stones in saltwater is a favourite cleansing method of mine. Now, here is a list of stones you should NEVER put in water: Borates Calcite Ivory Gypsum Lapis Lazuli Pyrite Obsidian Selenite Turquoise These stones will dissolve in water.With Fire ~Here is a simple and fast spell I concocted that I found cleanses and charges crystals very quickly. Light a preferred candle. Hold your crystal above the flame, flip it over in your palm above the candle, and recite: “Fire, fire burning bright Charge this crystal with your light Fire, fire, burning bright Make it strong

with all your might.” Leave the crystal beside the candle to charge for as long as you see fit. When you are done, snuff the candle out.With Sunlight ~One of the most basic ways to charge your crystals is with sunlight. Sunlight is fiery, energetic, more masculine, and more yang. When a crystal is charging in the sun, it is imbued with the sun’s energy. This can come in handy for money spells, job spells, energy spells, and any type of spell that requires more yang energy. To charge a crystal with sunlight, simply lay it out on the window sill or someplace where it will get a good bit of sunlight, and allow itto bask there for the remainder of the day. When the sun goes down, it is done and ready to be used again. Now, here is a list of crystals you should NOT charge in the sunlight: Amber Amethyst Aquamarine Aventurine Beryl Citrine Fluorite Kunzite Opal RoseQuartz Sapphire Smokey Quartz Sunlight can fade these crystals over time and causes opal and amber to crack and become brittle.With Moonlight ~Another popular method of charging crystals is with moonlight. This is a good alternative for charging a crystal that can’t withstand the sun. The moon’s energy is calming, soothing, emotional, feminine, healing, and more yin. Moonlight is great for crystals that have to do with matters of the heart. Also take into consideration the phase of the moon when charging a crystal. Is it full? Is it waning? Is it new? Charging a crystal under a certain phase of the moon with imbue the crystal with that phase’s energy. For more on phases of the moon, follow the link: Moon Phases To charge a crystal with moonlight, simply leave it out in the light of the moon for a night.

With Earth ~Some witches recommend burying a crystal for a day or even a week at a time. This works especially well for earth-related crystals such as garnet. Remember that it was the earth that formed and energized these crystals in the first place, so what better way to charge a crystal than to return it back to the earth from whence it came?With a Grid ~Some stones are cleansers and chargers themselves. Selenite and obsidian are some good examples. By placing other crystals that need charging around naturally charging stones, it creates a grid. Leave these stones in place for about twenty-four hours or until the energy has returned to them. Lots of people have fun creating pretty designs with these crystalgrids, so get creative and have fun with them!With Herbs ~Adding herbs to the mix will help further strengthen and direct a crystal’s purpose. For example, placing lavender in a grid with amethyst will aid it in its purpose to calm. You can also place herbs in water if you choose to use the water method for charging crystals, or, even better, create rosewater or lavender water to use. In essence, charge whatever stone in the way you feel is best. Many witches develop a preferred method for charging their crystals, and that is fine. Find whatever method works best for you .Blessings upon

Witches Crystals, Stones, Herbs, and Oils

Perhaps some of the most powerful magical tools are those that come straight from the Earth without much, if any, alteration by human hands.

Herbs and semiprecious gemstones have long been known to have healing properties, and are used today in many medicinal systems around the globe.

They are also used in Witchcraft, as decorations, offerings, magical enhancements, and even as the focus of some rituals and spells.

Crystals and other stones have their own energies and are considered to be “alive,” rather than simply dormant matter.

Sensitive people can often feel their energies when holding these stones in their hands or on some other part of their bodies.

Some stones are used for specific purposes in ritual, while others may be more permanent presences on the altar or in other places in aWitch’s home.

They may range in size from a square half-inch to much larger, and may be polished and/or carved into specific shapes, or left in their raw form.

Crystals can be found in many New Age stores as well as online, though they can sometimes still be found in their raw form in certain natural areas.

Crystals may be used to help guard against illness or negative energy or may aid in divination or other psychic work.

They may also be used to lay out the magic circle at the start of the ritual.

These stones have astrological associations as well as associations with specific gods and goddesses.

Herbs are also associated with specific deities and astrological bodies and are used in a variety of ways, including magical kitchen edibles, brews and potions, and spell ingredients.

Some of the most common kitchen herbs, such as basil, rosemary, and thyme also have magical associations, which doubles their potential for effective magic, as they can be used to make “enchanted” foods.

However, other herbs used in magic are not appropriate to consume, and care should always be taken to know the difference.

It is considered ideal for Witches to harvest their own herbs with their ritual knives, whether from a nearby woods or their own kitchen herb“gardens.”

However, fresh herbs can be found in grocery stores, and many natural food stores also sell a variety of dried herbs in their bulk departments.

Essential oils from plants, seeds, and nuts are used to enhance the ritual atmosphere and also as ingredients in spellwork.

Oils have metaphysical properties and may be rubbed into spell candles for a specific magical purpose, or used in a skin-safe blend to anoint the body before the ritual.

Witches often make their own blends of essential oils to strengthen ritual and spellwork.

Also used in aromatherapy for healing a number of physical and emotional ailments, essential oils are widely available at natural food stores.

Agate

Folk Names:

Red Agate, Blood Agate

Planet:

Mercury

Element:

various

Deity:

Aesculapius

Powers:

Strength, Courage, Longevity, Gardening, Love, Healing, Protection

Magical Uses:

In general, agate is utilized in spells and magical rituals involving strength, bravery, longevity and so on.

Worn on the arm or carried while gardening, the agate increases your plants’ fertility and ensures a bountiful crop or healthy flowers.

Moss agate (see below) was thought to be the best suited for this.

Charged agates can be ‘planted’ in the garden to promote abundance, and small agates hung on trees increase their yield.

In ancient Rome an agate worn in a ring on the hand or bound to the left arm ensured the favor of the vegetative deities, who would
cause the Earth to be fruitful.

A stone often utilized in love spells, agate is also worn to avoid envious thoughts and to remove spite; in other words, to make its wearer amiable and agreeable.

Spite has no place in the search for love.

It is also worn as a truth amulet, to ensure that your words are pure, and also to ensure favors from powerful persons.

Agate jewelry is given to children to be worn as protective amulets.

Agate is thought to be particularly useful in preventing children from falling and is also worn by adults to avoid stumbling.

An agate held in the mouth relieves thirst. It was once used to reduce fevers by applying them to the forehead.

Held in the hand the agate calms and refreshes the body and helps it heal minor health problems Agates were popular talismans in the Middle East to ensure the healthy state of the blood.

In ancient Britain, they were worn to guard against skin diseases.

Triangular-shaped agates were used in Syria to avert intestinal problems.

In ceremonial magic, agates were engraved with serpents ormen riding on snakes.

Worn as an amulet this magical jewel prevented snake, scorpion, and insect bites and stings.

The agate is sometimes used in protective spells and rituals and was once thought to be a sovereign guard against sorcery, demons and fiendish possession.

In Asia, agates were used much as quartz crystal is today.

To ascertain future trends the scryer gazed at the markings on the stone, allowing the deep mind to project its psychic impulses to the conscious mind.

The numerous types of agate-vaguely distinguishable by color or markings-are used in various types of magic.

Though any type of agate may be worn for the above uses, these particular stones have traditional energies.

 A list of some of the major Agate and their magical attributions:

BandedAgate:

(Energy: Projective, Element: Fire) Protection. Restores bodily energy and eases stressful situations.

Black Agate:

(Energy: Projective, Element: Fire) Another protective stone. Wear for courage and successful competitions.

Black and White Agate:

(Energy: Receptive, Element: Earth) Worn as an amulet, this stone guard against physical dangers.

Blue Lace Agate:

(Energy: Receptive, Element: Water) Wear or carry for peace and happiness. Place in your hand to de-stress. Lay one on your desk or other workstation and gaze at it when in stressful situations.

In the home, a blue lace agate surrounded by flaming, light blue candles calms the psychic atmosphere and reduces household or family quarrels.

Brown or Tawny Agate:

(Energy: Projective, Element: Fire) Once worn by warriors for victory in battle, the brown agate is used today for success in any undertaking.

It was prized in Italy and Persia as a guard against the evil eye. It’s also a wealth talisman.

Green Agate:

(Energy: Receptive, Element: Earth) Worn to improve the health of the eyes.

In the past, a woman who drank the water a green agate ring was washed in was magically guarded against sterility.

Moss Agate:

(Energy: Receptive, Element: Earth) Due to its curious markings, which suggest moss or trees, the moss agate is the special gardener’s talisman.

It is worn to relieve a stiff neck, to lend energy to the depleted, and for healing purposes.

It is also used in spells involving riches, happiness and long life.

Wear this stone to make new friends and to discover “treasure.”

Red Agate:

(Energy: Projective, Element: Fire) Also known as “Blood Agate,” this stone was worn in ancient Rome to guard against insect bites, to heal the blood, and to promote calm and peace.

Crystal Ball Scrying

Genuine crystal balls are very expensive, and the best source for them is
Germany, where they’ve mined and polished clear crystal for centuries. Less costly
options include polished stones or balls made of lead crystal. The lead crystal options
often have bubbles in them, and can be found in various colors. Those bubbles can
actually aid in focusing, so the visions that appear are inside the ball, moving across the
bubble. Ann prefers crystal for its natural energy source, but you can draw visions from
anything, if you are visual with your divinations.
Before use, the crystal ball should be dedicated and charged (empowered) with an
herbal wash of mugwort, made by pouring boiling water over loose mugwort (in a tea
pot, for example), letting it cool, and then washing the crystal ball with it.
The key to scrying with a crystal ball, as well as with a mirror, is to relax. Do not
try to force a vision. Don’t strain yourself trying to see something. Visions come very
gently and subtly. Ann recommends a quiet place, or one with soothing music played
very low. A candle and incense on either side of the ball may aid in focus.
Look into the ball, try to find the center, and focus on that. If there is a bubble in
the ball, it makes it easier to find a portion of the ball to focus on. Do not let your vision
fuzz over. The objective is clear sight. It’s okay to blink, or use one eye more strongly
than the other, just retain your focus. Soon you will see the crystal ball clouding inside.
Once you see the clouding, you have several options. If you want to ask a
question, whisper it now, and watch what unfolds. If you want to see something that’s
happening in the present time, whisper what you want to see, and watch. These two
examples generally result, at first, in a kind of silent movie in your focal point. What
you’re really doing is extending your awareness. With practice you will start to pick up
on sounds, smells, and other sensations.
Another option when you see the clouding is to travel to another world. If this is
what you want to do, be prepared for the journey. For many, this feels like a falling
sensation, and it can scare them out of completing the journey. If you want to travel,
relax and go with it, you can return to your home/room/chair any time. “Fall” into the
Underworld, Otherworld, etc.
(Becca’s note: I do this in many settings, often starting in meditation, envision a
window that looks out where I want/need to go, build up energy with each breath, and
when I have enough, I let go and “fall” down through the window in my mind, into the
plane I saw on the other side of that window. And the window can be my way home
when I’m ready, if needed.)
When travelling with a crystal ball like this, the room around you becomes
dimmer and dimmer until all you see is the crystal all around you. Retain your focus
while you travel. Jerk yourself out and you’re back where you began. The only thing to
fear on this journey are your own fears. Use this tool to face those fears, expose them,
understand them, and get past them. It’s a very personal, spiritual, and cleansing
experience.

Opal

Opal is a hydrated amorphous form of silica (SiO2·nH2O); its water content may range from 3 to 21% by weight, but is usually between 6 and 10%.

Because of its amorphous character, it is classed as a mineraloid, unlike crystalline forms of silica, which are classed as minerals.

It is deposited at a relatively low temperature and may occur in the fissures of almost any kind of rock, being most commonly found with limonite, sandstone, rhyolite, marl, and basalt.

Opal is the birthstone of October, and the stone that celebrates the 14th anniversary of marriage.

The name opal is believed to be derived from the Sanskrit word upala , which means ‘jewel’, and later the Greek derivative opállios , which means ‘to see a change in color’.

There are two broad classes of opal: precious and common. Precious opal displays play-of-color (iridescence); common opal does not.

Play-of-color is defined as “a pseudo chromatic optical effect resulting in flashes of colored light from certain minerals, as they are turned in white light.”

The internal structure of precious opal causes it to diffract light, resulting in play-of-color.

Depending on the conditions in which it formed, opal may be transparent, translucent or opaque, and the background color may be white, black, or nearly any color of the visual spectrum.

Black opal is considered rarest, whereas white, gray, and green are the most common.
