Saint and Crystal Associations
Here is a list of a few of my favorite saints, and one’s I most often invoke in my practice as a Catholic/Christian witch, and crystals that I associate them with. I’m posting this as a potential resource for other Christian witches. These are my own personal associations so if they don’t feel right for you feel free to use different crystals with different saints. Thanks and enjoy.
St. Michael the Archangel –> Black Tourmaline
Michael the Archangel is a fearsome and powerful angel who is charged with fighting against evil, sin, negativity, etc. Black Tourmaline does the same thing an acts as a powerful protector against negativity and can shield those who use it. Because of this I associate this crystal with Michael and when I carry it I imagine this angel/saint’s protection surrounding and guarding me.
St. Perpetua & St. Felicity –> Lapis Lazuli
Perpetua and Felicity were two women of color who should be given more credit for how their story helped spread Christianity during the time of early Christianity. Both were great close friends and may have also been lovers. Since I’m pansexual I like to think that they were personally. Lapis Lazuli is a crystal that promotes friendship, companionship, and truth. Its the perfect crystal for any relationship. When I use this crystal I imagine St. Perpetua and Felicity filling my home and heart with a greater care for those I have a deep emotional relationship with whether that be friendship or with a partner (though I admittedly also use the more popular and obvious rose quartz as well, but I tend to use that more for self love than romantic love so…)
St. Teresa of Avila –> Labradorite
Teresa of Avila is one of my favorite saints she was sassy, confident, tough, and didn’t take shit. I associate her most with Labradorite because of its spiritual connections, its ability to help create clarity of mind (which Teresa often strived for during her mental prayers), and its ability to banish fear and insecurity. It also relieves mental stress and Teresa was plagued with terrible headaches. It can also help with inspiration, which works well with Teresa as the patron saint of writers. I use this stone when I am trying to be creative and working on any type of writing that I need Teresa’s intercession on. I also use it when I need help with my spirituality or when I am dealing with people attacking me for my faith as a lot of people gave Teresa shit for her visions and spirituality.
St. Catherine of Siena –> Tiger’s Eye
Catherine was another feisty woman who wasn’t afraid of anyone. She argued with the Pope constantly sending him letter after letter refusing to give up. Because of this I associate her most with Tiger’s Eye for determination. I use this crystal and invoke Catherine’s help when I am having a low spoon day and having a difficult time motivation myself. Since this is also stone for protection I use when I am feeling attacked or judged at church (or just by religious people in general) and remind myself that Catherine of Siena, and honestly most female saints, were belittle and mistreated because of their faith so I’m in good company.
St. Hildegard of Bingen –> Amethyst
Hildegard is by far one of my most favorite saints! She was a doctor, herbalist, composer, musician, writer, leader, and visionary. Hildegard was a master at so many things but I feel the deepest connection to her spiritual visions, prayers, and music, because of this I associate her most with Amethyst a crystal that has a high spiritual vibration. I use this when I’m struggling with my spirituality or simply want to enhance my spirituality.
There are only a few saints and crystal associations that I have. I might do another one of these. Also feel free to message me with particular saints and ask me what crystals I’d associate them with. Again this is just my own personal associations and if these don’t fit for you feel free to associate a different saint with a different crystal.
