I make wands, but I do it a bit differently. I use a laser quartz jewelry point on one end, a glass rod, and on the other end I use either another laser point or else a quartz sphere. I use wire wrapping to hold them all together; I don't drill or glue. Depending on what kind of wire I use, the meta...

I agree. We always need to do our homework not only about what impact various gems will have, but on what certain trade names mean, so that we'll know exactly what we're spending our money on. For example, "Chalk Turquoise" is a trade name for Howlite that has been dyed to resemble Turquoise. We do ...

I was just doing some research on Carnelian, and one of the attributes that were specifically mentioned is Carnelian's ability to enhance creativity. The second chakra, which governs the reproductive system, also influences creativity (a parallel which makes perfect sense, when we stop to think abou...

I hadn't see...

Re: Crystal/gem meditation
Not sure if this meditation is mentioned here before, but if you hold a crystal in your hands or on a particular place on your body, like a chakra you can imagine that you shrink to the size of the crystal and enter it. Could be a good idea to look for cracks etc in the gem before you start, then i...

thanks for your help! :) yes i think i will get something grounding and maybe wear it a few days before flying so it has time to have an effect. i'll also see what the doctor has to say. not keen on sleeping tablets though. it would feel like i'm avoiding the problem rather than facing it, if you s...

@rubywillowonyx: It might not seem like a good thing on the surface to get a negative vibe right before something bad happens. But if you learn to recognize when your intuition is warning you, you can turn it into a positive because it will help you be alert and, perhaps, avoid or reduce the impact ...

Also, a quick and easy way to get a faux "macro" (extreme close-up) lens, if you are using a cell phone camera, is to put a small magnifying lens over the camera lens. I have a tiny little magnifying lens from an eyeglass repair kit, and if I have to take a detailed close-up photo of something small...

I'm a major fan of quartz spheres, though I've also been able to scry using other tools like a clear acrylic sphere, glass marbles (yes, you can do it! lol) and lead crystal spheres. I have a few natural quartz spheres of varying sizes (mostly small, with some medium), all of which have inclusions. ...

I don't necessarily know about crystals multiplying energy. I do know that I've used them to focus energy or direct it. My preferred tool for this is either a raw quartz point or a wand with a quartz point attached to one or both ends. If I want to help direct energy flow, I find those tools to be e...
