“Black Lives Matter”

You can keep this on you during protests or have it on the front or back of your banners or signs.

In case you are pepper sprayed or tear gassed while protesting : ~Have water, saline solution, or milk of magnesia (which is a type of liquid antacid) on hand to flush out your eyes ~Keep your breathing low and slow. Breath in through your mouth and out through your nose, you DO NOT want that shit in your nose, they taught my mom this during her short time in the Navy when they had to do exercises in a tear gas chamber for as long as they could. (I don’t think this applies so much to pepper spray)

This is not a debate post, don’t start shit on my post or you’ll be blocked on sight. Make your own post about your issue and keep my sigils out of it. And before y’all fuckin say it, don’t fucking “All Lives Matter” at me. All lives can’t matter till black and other POC lives matter.

How I do Crystal Grids

So I got an ask a while back about how I do crystal grids and if I could share that information, so here goes!

Let’s start off with some general knowledge of what a grid is, what it can be used for, and what different parts make up the grid. 

What is a crystal grid?

-Simply put, a crystal grid is an arrangement of crystals that helps set, focus, and amplify intentions 

What can a grid be used for?

-There are several things you can use a crystal grid for

1. To increase the power of your crystals

2. To cleanse and/or charge your crystals

3. Create protective boundaries

4. Raise the vibration of your space (good for work flow or meditation) 

5. To bring in luck, happiness, wealth, love etc. (any intention you can put into a spell, you can put into a crystal grid) 

Different Parts of a grid 

The Perimeter

–an optional outer ring of stones that are used to protect your grid. 

The Desire Stones

–Gather the energy of your stones and send it out into your space

The Way Stones

–Organizes and modifies the energy set by the focus stone

The Focus Stone

–Usually the stone in the center of the grid, sets your intentions

Grid Layouts

-There are books that tell you the ‘typical’ layouts but honestly I say do whatever feels right for you and fits your purpose! 

Now that the technical stuff is out of the way, lets move on to how I personally create my crystal grids!

I like to keep my process pretty intuitive. There are lots of resources that will give you specific steps to follow, and even tell you which types of crystals to use in what part of the grid based on the crystal structure or color. I tend to throw all of that out the window. 

Step 1: I pick my intention. This can be anything I would do a spell for, healing, self-love, binding, banishing, bringing in money or luck, and so on. 

Step 2: Pick my crystals. I actually pick the crystals before I pick the layout. Sometimes I select crystals based on which properties match with my intention (rose quartz for self love, aventurine for money). Sometimes I just go through my collection and pick the ones that are calling me. 

Step 3: Pick my layout. I tend to do a traditional bullseye type layout (Focus stone in the very center, way stones as the middle ring, desire stones as the outer ring). Sometimes I use a spiral method. Those are probably my top two layouts. 

Step 4: Place the stones. Again, this is a very intuitive process. I tend to use a point for the focus stone, and then lay way stones in a cross like shape around it (i.e. one directly above, one directly below, one to the right, one to the left) filling in with a few other way stones if I feel like it. I then place the desire stones in a circle around the whole thing, alternating stones (If I have multiple types of stone for the desire stones). If I put up a barrier it also goes in a circle around the whole thing. 

Step 5: In my process, the grid is activated once the stones are all in place. Sometimes I’ll fuss and shift stones around until they make a pleasing design, so once I’m done, the grid is activated. I then leave it up as long as I please!

Programing Your Crystals

We’ve all heard this before, Right?

“Program your crystal to blah blah blah” 

When giving advise to beginner practitioners sometimes we forget to stop and explain what it means to even program a crystal. In short, You are infusing it with intention. A Goal, A Desire. You are infusing a crystal to amplify that intention and desire, And to hopefully achieve it. 

The way you do this is simple. 

1. Cleanse your Crystal - This is the most important step. Cleanse. Your. Crystal. Yourself. Use herb smoke, Energy work, Sunlight, Moonlight, Prayer, What ever works for YOU. 

2. Cleanse Yourself - This is equally as important as cleansing your crystal because you want to be in a clear calm state. You don’t want any outside forces influencing your work. 

3. Once you are clear with your intention and desire hold your crystal in your hands. Visualize what you want, Speak aloud or in your thoughts. Be Clear. Be repetitive. Feel it. 

4. Feel the energy and warmth leaving your hands, And entering the crystal. Make it yours, And fill it with your desire. 

5. Continue these steps until you feel the crystal has fully absorbed all the vibrational energy. 

That’s all! The crystal will now hold your intention, And will amplify your attract your desire. 

(To reverse this process, Do the same steps with intention of cleansing and release the energy.)

Stoner Witch Tips:

✨Sharpie pen sigils on your lighter.

✨Blow smoke into a jar to use in spell work.

✨Little nugs as offerings to nature or your deities.

✨Keep your ashes in a tightly closed container for spell work. (Do not breathe the ashy dust this creates*)

✨Make sure you drink enough water, especially if you smoke heavily.

✨Write sigils with your resin.

✨After cleaning your pipe/ rig set it out in the moonlight.

✨Make knot magic with hemp string.

✨Say a chant or incantation as you blow the smoke out of your lungs and release it to the universe.

✨Witchy Uses For Tea✨

A good way to unwind and replenish your energy after a spell or ritual is to relax with some tea.

🌱TEA TYPES🌿

Green tea- fire, passion, healing, love, sexuality

Oolong tea- reflection, wisdom, concentration

Black tea- earth, water, strength, stability, energy, cleansing

White tea- happiness, wisdom, purification (compliments moon energy very well)

Rose tea: love, compassion, psychic abilities, good luck, protection

Herbal tea- very versatile; best uses depend on herbs used. Examples are peppermint, spearmint, rooibos, etc.

✨ WITCHY USES 💫

If you are performing a ritual or spell that involves sending positive energies out into the universe, steep the tea nearby while it is taking place. Drink the tea when you are done- this will allow you to replenish your energies, leaving you less drained

Brew loose tea and read the tea leaves!

Drizzle honey into the tea in sigil patterns. Stirring the tea charges it (clockwise if you are attracting something, counterclockwise if you are banishing something) and drinking it activates it!

Brew your tea with distilled drinking water that has been charged with the sun/moon to give your magic a boost!

Make your own tea blends to compliment and refine your intent

Store tea leaves/tea bags near crystal grids to charge them before brewing- the longer you charge and the stronger you brew it, the stronger the magic will be

You can add things like lemon, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, and give your magick some oomph

You can spread tea leaves (moist, dry, used, unused, etc) as offerings, mix them into or add them on top of the soil to help plants grow (bonus if they’ve been used in healing or growth spells!), add them to melted wax for a personalized candle, etc; the possibilities are basically endless
