Crystal of the Month ~ Orange Calcite

I think we all can use some extra energy right now...

...and because this crystal is so full of vitality, I felt it was the perfect time to highlight it!  

Orange Calcite is an absolute powerhouse booster that can increase ambition, drive, and motivation. It helps to give a lift to your efforts in striving and achieving what you desire. 

It’s a stone that may lift up and inspire your creativity too. This crystal improves moods and positively influences your outlook and general attitude. Orange Calcite amplifies the gifts you already possess which is great if you just need a little extra focus to keep going! 

It can increase the flow of positive energies in the body which better allows the negative energies to exit. Orange calcite rids us of any of the toxins that are present in the body and auric/light body.

This stone will assist with removing old patterns, behaviors, and ways of thinking. This allows for the flow of change to do its natural thing. It helps with the acceptance of change. (Always a good thing to have help with!)

Orange-Calcite has the potential to build up our physical, emotional, and mental balance so that we can better function at a fuller capacity.  It emanates healing energies that can repair, restore, strengthen, and protect our physical bodies.

It’s a definite go to when I’m needing a push and an amplification of motivation. I like to carry or wear a piece and give it my intention with pointed words that frame my goal. It hasn’t failed me yet! 🤩💎🧡

The Veil Between Worlds Grows Thin...

...as we near Beltane (and Samhain, depending on where you live),

Many people don’t realize that Beltane is the other time of year (Samhain is also) when the distance between our world and the ancestors and the dead grows very thin. I had posted about this on social media and was surprised at how many people didn’t know this about Beltane~ so I wanted to talk a little more about this. 

On the pagan wheel of the year, Beltane and  Samhain are directly across from each other and mark the times when the spirit world really touches ours more directly. The energies are quite different though. At Samhain it’s more reflective and heavier in how it feels. Where, at Beltane, it’s more physically charged and sort of a lighter and perhaps more playful energy/time almost~ in my opinion and experience. 

Considering this, it makes both of these sacred holidays an important time to both HONOR and work with our ANCESTORS. 

Depending on your preference, this may be fancy and full of deep and intricate rituals or something more lowkey where you meditate on this and light white candles in their honor. Food offerings are certainly always a good idea~~Particularly if you cook something that is linked to your lineage. Then you can bless it and offer a plate with love, respect, and appreciation for their lives. Because, remember, without them and their lives and experiences, we would not be here ❤️

This spirit aspect of Beltane also invites us to perform some divination for the coming months ahead.  Cleanse your space, quiet your mind, and call on your guides and ancestors for their help. Then throw some cards and ask for what insights you need to know in general and where you should focus most at this time, for your best growth along spiritual journey.  Write the answers you receive in your Book of Shadows or journal so that you can reflect back on this guidance later. Make sure to give thanks afterwards. 

Wishing you all a Blessed Beltane or Samhain!

April's Crystal~ Aquamarine

I can’t say enough amazing things about Aquamarine because it’s just such a MAGNIFICENT crystal!  It’s been a favorite of mine for many years~ not only is it absolutely stunning, it also has many diverse and helpful qualities that I love~ so I just had to share some aspects and tips with everyone! 

This crystal is a bestower of light and hope. It bathes the user in a feeling of freshness that flushes away stuck and stagnant energy so that your true nature and potential can flow freely.  And if you’ve been feeling anything like me lately, any assistance with clearing stagnation is a blessing. 

Aquamarine works the heart and throat chakras. Try holding it during meditation to improve any type of communication with the spirit realm and to encourage emotional soothing and healing. It can help you open more to your dreams and intuitive potential~ so place near your head at night~ or you can wear it too if that doesn’t bother you!

A crystal of calmness and tranquility, Aquamarine will ease stress and encourage our sense of compassion and peace on all levels. It’s beautiful water element energy purifies us from the inside out and clears away negative thoughts, feelings and self doubt~ always a good thing

It is also a crystal for balancing the logical mind and strengthening our sense of confidence. It brings spiritual wisdom and awareness that assists on our personal journeys. By clearing doubts and pessimism, Aquamarine assists us with connecting to our Higher selves/True nature. I love to wear it when I’m doing journey work or guided types of meditation. 

Aquamarine can help empower/improve our relationships too~it does this by strengthening us from the inside and thus strengthening our commitment and trust. It also eases and supports successful communication which is so essential for any lasting relationships. 

Aquamarine also attracts good fortune and luck in general and allows for prosperity to flow more freely to us. It also allows us to better manifest our goals and desires.
