Selenite Healing Properties, Correspondences and Meanings

Ah, Selenite, named after Selene, the Greek Goddess of the Moon. Let’s lurk into the depths of this ethereal stone and talk about the healing properties, correspondences, and meanings… some geology too! Why not? selenite

Is it Gypsum, Selenite, or Satin Spar?

As of late, some have gotten very geotechnical with the terminology on this. So please allow me to clarify a bit.

What many have called “Selenite” for years (perhaps as clear back as the 15th century!) is most likely actually properly termed as “Satin Spar” nowadays.

Gypsum

There’s much confusion among these three closely related minerals:

  1. Selenite
  2. Satin Spar
  3. Gypsum

Well, actually they’re ALL a form of gypsum. All three are close siblings in my mind. 😉

So technically, the Cave of Crystals in Mexico houses Gypsum crystals, not Selenite. What’s the diff?

Gypsum, Satin Spar and Selenite have the same chemical composition but where they … Read More

Crystal Meanings | Are they Reliable?

crystal meanings

 

Do you find that your usual crystal meanings and usual go-to correspondences are dependable?

For example, has your go-to rose quartz or amethyst been as reliable as of late? I’m not necessarily asking if they’re “weaker,” but are they not working for you in the way that you’ve come to rely on?

Or maybe it’s that they’re working but they’re just “different”.

I’m asking because in all the years I’ve been working with and researching crystals, this is the first time I’ve noticed such a huge shift and many others (students, graduates and so many in our Crystal Family) have brought this to my attention too. 

In a recent poll I did; 82% said this is the case for them. Whoa! That’s a lot.

Crystals are millions of years old, some are even billions of years old. That’s just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of a crystal’s life cycle. Right? So, perhaps this shift in energy many of us are experiencing is just part of a natural cycle. It … Read More

Get the Most out of the Eclipse Season ☀️ With Crystals

eclipse season

This blog post was originally published during Eclipse Season several years ago … but you might be here to learn more about eclipse season in general and the crystals to work with.  Read on!  Just keep in mind the dates in this blog do not apply to 2022.

Today we are talking about getting the most out of the eclipse season with crystals! During an eclipse, the sun, the moon and the earth are in perfect alignment. Now we don’t usually get an eclipse every time we have a full moon or new moon. During eclipse season, when we get the three celestial bodies, the sun, moon and earth, in perfect alignment their various types of cosmic energies become aligned or stacked. When that happens, they magnify and amplify each other.

In physics, we call this the principle of superposition. That’s when similar energies easily come into alignment and when they do that, they amplify each other.

A lot of people are sensitive to these types of energetic shifts and can feel them easily. Especially if you’re an empath, Reiki healer, or you do energy … Read More

Top 4 Crystals to Work with Moon Energy

crystals moon energy

Let’s talk about crystals we can use to work with moon energy. Whether it be for the full moon, new moon or any phase of the moon.

Intention

I feel that when you’re working with different phases of the moon, it’s not so much about the specific crystals that you choose to work with, because there are several different ones, but more about your intention of working with that particular moon phase.

There are several crystals that have vibrational frequencies that align with the moon in general, no matter what phase the moon is in at that particular time. Which is great b/c it makes uncomplicated work of it.

Again, it doesn’t matter whether it’s full moon or new moon, what I feel is most important is that you be very clear on what your intentions are & that you align them with that particular phase of the moon.

Here’s a very general summary of those energies…

Full Moon Energy

  • It’s a time when you reap what you’ve sown.
  • It’s when you’re grateful for whatever lessons you’ve learned in last moon’s cycle, or for whatever intentions and seeds that … Read More
