Cleansing and Charging Crystals - a good rule of thumb is that if you’re not sure if you can place your crystals in water, salt, or direct sunlight because it might damage the stone, use moonlight or starlight instead. You can also place your crystals in a dry bath of herbs and flowers, or pass them through incense smoke.

A to Z Crystal Meanings

some memes I made to express my current frustrations with academia feel free to add your own

🌑 Manifestation Spell 🌑

A spell to manifest something into your life, to be performed under the new moon.

You will need :

🌑 Jar or other container 🌑 Water 🌑 Black food colouring (or any colour you associate with nothingness) 🌑 Square white paper (or any colour you associate with existence) 🌑 A new moon

What to do :

🌑Fill your jar with water. 🌑Write down on the paper what you’re trying to manifest, and then fold it into an origami shape. It doesn’t have to be overly complex, it just has to be something other than a square. It helps if there’s a correspondence between what you’re manifesting and the shape you fold your paper into. 🌑Put the folded paper into the water and then add your food colouring. 🌑Leave the jar with the water and paper in it outside to charge in the new moon’s moonlight. 🌑 In the morning, take the jar back inside and keep it somewhere it won’t be touched by moonlight from other lunar phases. The universe will start aiding you in the manifestation now.

As the paper disintegrates, your desire will be in the process of manifesting. Once your paper is nearly gone, your desire will have completely or almost completely manifested, as long as you’ve followed the correct path during this to make it happen.
