Set up and cleanse the area you will be working in, you don’t wish to have negative energy about during the spell
Using your blue pen on the center of the piece of paper you have draw your sigil or if you don’t have one just write out: “I will be more patient” or just the word ‘patience’
Place the paper in front of you and circle it with your tealights and light them clockwise starting with the top one, be careful not to burn yourself while doing so
Place your howlite atop the sigil/words in the center of the paper and candles
Hold your hands over the howlite and close your eyes
“My restlessness must come to an end, patience is a virtue, so I will be patient and this I do intend.”
Keep your eyes closed and take deep breaths in and out feeling the calm gentle energy of the howlite and tea lights emitting below your hands. Continue like this until you feel their energies has thoroughly influenced you
You may let the tea lights burn out or you may blow them out to close the spell
You may burn, shred or bury your paper after the spell
Because a good half or so of crystal witch posts make me go “ooooh boy”:
“Opalite” is just fancy glass.
“Goldstone” and its differently-colored varieties are also just fancy glass (though with a rather fun history stretching back hundreds of years, to the point where ‘aventurine’ is named after the manufactured sparkly glass via its Italian name. I saw a 19th century table made out of that stuff once; it looked like the table version of old bowling alley carpets).
“Rainbow” or “Aura” or whatever quartz and amethysts are chemically treated – can’t remember the specifics, but they get coated with something.
Most agate slices and pretty much all agate-looking bright blue and pink tumbled stones are dyed.
Most citrine you can buy for a reasonable price is treated amethyst.
Most turquoise is treated howlite.
Blue tiger eye does exist (also known as Hawk’s Eye), but almost always includes yellow stripes and/or is very slightly grey-ish or otherwise not a totally dark and saturated blue; Not saying they don’t exist, but I’d be wary of cheap, extremely blue, extremely mono-colored stones.
Red tiger eye is always heat-treated, but not generally dyed AFAIK, because you can get ridiculously good colors just by applying some heat. Apparently, applying certain acids gets you a reddish-purple hue.
A LOT of jade is fake in some way. “New jade” in particular is actually serpentine, though there’s apparently a really interesting and not entirely mean-spirited story behind that one.
None of that is intrinsically bad, (heck, red tiger eye is one of my favorites, as is serpentine, and goldstone is really pretty) but a lot of shops are deliberately incredibly misleading about that stuff, and that is Not Okay. So, know what you’re buying, learn your stuff about your pretty rocks, and don’t let assholes screw you over with fancy words.
/EDIT: Also, this list is not exhaustive; if you’ve got stuff to say about other fake and commonly faked stones or general additional information, do feel free to add to this while reblogging!
I was talking the other day about how man made stones have their own special energy.
The problem is not man made stones. There problem is lying about them
*inspired by the three eyed raven and its ability to see into the past*
Needed: – Black, Purple and silver candles – a Mirror – Yourself
Steps: – set yourself up in front of your mirror. – Light your candles. Black for Protection and banishing negativity, Purple for psychic ability, hidden knowledge, spiritual power and intuition, Silver for intuition, dreams, and clairvoyance. – Meet your eyes in the mirror. use them as gates to your soul. See it and acknowledge anything you may already know about your past lives. – Say/think: “ Here is my petition, I ask for intuition; to see the things I have lost and leave them in my mind embossed. I do not wish to cause myself any more strife, Help me see my previous life.”
