This
special issue of ORE FEATURES was edited by you. In the last issue, you
were invited to vote for your favorite articles - these are the ones that
won. CHARGING
CRYSTALS was chosen by 35% of the voters, CRYSTAL MAGIC was
the choice of 32% of the voters. CHARGING
CRYSTALS first ran in Vol. 1. 1, Issue 2, November 13, 1999. To activate
the energies within your gemstones, especially if you plan to use them
to accomplish a certain task, you will need to charge them. If your intention
is to work with your gemstones toward a specific goal - take careful steps
as you charge each stone, to be clear in your mind & to the universe
what that goal is. I often write a small prayer or verse that I’ll
later include in the final power pouch. Do not overcharge
a stone. Be singular in your intention for each stone. If your work is
multi-layered, choose a combination of gemstones that can bring together
a variety of energies. It is easy to confuse the issue when you ask too
much of anyone. There are
many ways to actually charge your gemstones, once you’ve made your
intentions clear. Work with all these practices, find the one that feels
good for you. There are no right or wrong ways. FULL MOON
- is one of the most common ways to charge a stone. For your most effective
charge, place your stone beneath the moon as it rises, leave out over
night & retrieve before sunrise. A Full Moon
is excellent for charging if your intention is to attract, build or grow. NEW MOON
- to charge with the New Moon, you must place your gemstones out during
the day. Since you are unable to seen the New Moon, I generally try to
charge sunrise to sunset. However, during winter months, you may want
to leave your gem out a little past sunset. SUN
- Normally there are only four times a year you may use the sun to create
a charge. The Spring & Fall Equinox & the Summer & Winter
Solstice. When you are lucky enough to be under a full eclipse of the
sun, you have an opportunity to create a rare charge. The Sun’s
charge is useful in the same intentions as the Full Moon, especially if
you are needing extra fire to achieve your goal. YOU
- that’s right, you are a charging element. You can also work as
an enhancement tool when using the above elements to charge. Use your
primary hand (the one you write with), to hold the stone while visualizing
your need. If you are using the Sun or Moon, raise the stone in your hand
towards the source, again visualizing . As you visualize,
your are creating the needed energy, so this method can be used for any
kind of intention. A few more
important notes on charging. Where you
charge your gemstones can also influence the energies. I have stone altars
(disguised as rock gardens) set in an East, South, West & North location
in my yard. If your intention
is creating abundance or wealth (not always the same thing), North is
where you’d want to charge your stone. If you are working to create
protection, use the West. Gemstones
that have been charged to achieve a specific short term goal, need to
be de-programmed once your goal is accomplished. You may cleanse
your gemstones (vol. 1, issue 1), give them back to the creator by burying
them or leaving them somewhere special or give them away to someone needing
a little magic of their own. Gemstones
that you are using as tools or for long term goals, need on-going attention
as well. Cleanse & charge these stones regularly to protect them &
you from harmful energies. Finally,
in any work you do, please ask that your outcome be correct & for
the good of all. Take care that your request doesn’t cause unintended
harm in order to achieve your purpose. And it is certainly not wise to
use your work to intentionally cause harm. Always, be careful what you
wish for. Receive a

are an exciting gemstone to study because of the vast variety of colors
and textures this mineral takes on. Even as a simple clear quartz it grows
into elaborate shapes and designs. Each of these Crystal Growth Patterns
can bring a different energy to your work. These are just a small sampling
of some of the more common Crystal Patterns. Aperture:
By definition, this is a large crystal formation. The crystal forms, creating
a hollow crater that can contain fluids. Filling the crater with water
or elixirs will allow you to access information from the past, present
and future. An Aperture Crystal may be used for lung, liver, pancreas,
stomach and other related illnesses. Bridged:
A small crystal growing out of a larger point. This growth pattern helps
build a bridge between the inner and outer worlds. This formation aids
individuals working to share knowledge on either a spiritual or material
plane. Double
Terminated: Crystals that have grown to a terminated point at both
ends. This extremely powerful crystal may be used for astral projection,
intensifying dreams, and provide protection for both the spirit and the
body. Also an important healing stone, transforming negative into positive. Elestial:
Either a layered or etched crystal with multiple terminated points. Unlike
a “Bridged” crystal, these points form along a parallel plane
to each other. An enchanted crystal that can bring the heart & mind
into sync, help cast off emotional burdens or sustain you through change. Generator:
Six faces of a crystal terminating in a point. Small generators make powerful
pendulums. Use this crystal to magnify energy & stimulate the physical,
intellectual, emotional, or spiritual body. A very important healing stone. Key:
This crystal will have a three or six sided indentation. The indent will
narrow as it enters the main crystal, sometimes terminating in a point.
Unlock your hidden self or what you cannot see on the surface of a situation. These sparkling
crystals help you cope with negativity & see the miracle of everyday
life. The rainbow colors created by the fractures make this an excellent
Chakra stone. 7 &
8 Face: Seven or eight faces of a crystal terminating in a point.
Brings energy to endeavors & helps to remove obstacles in the way
of your goal. Angelic energies have also been attributed to this crystal. Twin:
Two or more individual points that have grown together in such a way that
parts of each crystal are parallel & parts are at opposing angles.
You can use this crystal to build relationships (of any kind). Twins are
also valuable in bringing groups together & promoting universal love. There are
easily dozens more formations that Crystals will grow into. I like to
think of them as Mother’s answer to snowflakes, no two are ever exactly
alike. ©Copyright
