Basic Wiccan Metaphysical Tools and Symbols – Sacred Stones and Crystals
Crystal energy has been used for thousands of years. Even radios and computers use crystals in their technology. They are energy vortices capable of transmitting both positive and negative influences. Therefore they must be ‘cleared’ properly before you use them (See Rituals to Perform: Consecrating Your Tools).
Sacred Crystals and Energy
Different colored crystals or stones have properties associated with them. They also may have associations depending on their formation. An ‘artemis’ is a single long thin crystal with an unblemished point used to focus thought and energy. A ‘cluster’ is a multiple crystal formation used to establish harmony and cohesive energy. Following is a brief reference table that may help you begin to understand the various purposes of stones and crystals.
