Crystals and inner power. ::UPDATE :; 2/17
#7816883 - 12/31/07 12:22 PM (16 years, 1 month ago) |

So I finally got a chance to take a few pics of the quartz points I just acquired.
This is Isis - not surprisingly it has an Isis face (5 pointed face)[image] [/image]
This is tiny - the one that has not opened up to me yet. I want to work with this point as my personal talisman, and will keep it by my side when I do work [image] [/image]
now this one I have a strong affinity to - it is 'telling' me it is old - and Im not just imprinting on looks - I can feel something when I hold this point. also the majority of it is covered with these tiny marks, like cuneiform, its a very interesting gazing tool. [image] [/image]
And lastly, but certainly not least is a generator tip I just got - its a black quartz (just has a high occurrence of black carbon) its a weird, heavily scratched tip, that feels good to hold.[image] [/image]
I placed all 4 of these points in a bath of water and sea salt. [image] [/image]And And let them sit for 24 hours. I then rinsed and dried them. I will be putting oil on them later, and they will be ready for work. (i hope)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yesterday my 3 quartz points arrived. I was shocked, because the guy (Joe) packed them in a regular USPS box. But I wasn't too worried, quartz is a 7 on the Mohs scale.
The short back story on the pedigree of these points is that they are from a mine in Arizona, and the Seller is also the Procurer/Collector. So hes got tons of this stuff lying around, but he 'loves them' , so although it is hard for him to part with them, he can be persuaded.
$85.oo bought me 3+ pounds of quarts. they are natural, not polished points. but all three are good for their size. clear tips, rough solid bases, one has an Isis face, and all have rainbows, inclusions, whists, mirrors and a myriad of shatters and "empathy nicks" i think thats a nice way of saying cracks.
Needless to say I was blown away and overwhelmed at what to do. All three points were so different. will take pictures if im not too lazy today. I sort of hoped they would look the same - I get caught in symmetry. as I write this, i am so glad they are so completely dfferent.
Just holding them for a few moments I felt affected. (mostly energized/awake) in a positive way.
Ill update as I go, if allowed. OoD
Original Post:
Lately I have been feeling like I need to work with more crystals and stones. and I am reading about energy grids and working with natural stones to create space to do work. (creating sacred space, OBE , gazing )
also sigils, which I have been fascinated with since i was pubescent. i got a few books from the library, and bought a few from amazon.
luckily my family is very open minded, and either don't care or share my beliefs, or are at least considerate enough not to hassle me.
i dont know why this need to do this is on me. but I have been experiencing a strange sense of newness. as if doors that i believed to be locked shut, have suddenly opened. but I have gone through all of these ways before, i never thought Id retread.
anyone else being pulled in a new direction, or back down a road least traveled.

a while back when this girl who I thought I was in love with broke up with me I felt a really strong pull towards this sort of thing. I think it stemmed from my sense of powerlessness over what was happening with she and I. I was always interested in the subject but nothing really pushed me forward to do anything about it.
So anyways, about a month ago I felt something like a loss of faith in anything even remotely magical, and as such all my power vanished with it. I wish I could pinpoint what it was exactly that caused me to drop out of something I saw so much hope in. Its weird because I can feel this strange mental block that is keeping me from admitting to myself why I lost my faith/power, or faith in power. I'm hoping that my interest will return when my life settles down a little. I should get my ass into gear and write up my official initiation ritual so as to ask the universe formally to show me the way again.
I know a lot of people whose interest in these things has grown recently, and I think it has to do with the fact that people are turning on to the idea that they manifest their own experience, and so things you once laughed off as hokey nonsense now make a lot of sense.

for a while i was a devout disbeliever..i ignored any argument towards mysticism, occults, the paranormal, hypnotism, esp, crystal balls, etc...
then on a recent acid trip, somewhere after the peak, under the shade of darkness a great thought popped into my head. I had to get up and find a huge crystal in my pewter/stone display case.
I might add that I have recently become much more spiritual, pierced my ears and have been gauging them using opals and natural stones/shells and the works. I also should add that a relative of mine that I had relatively recently lost contact with, yet whom Ive been thinking of alot lately, loved this shit. She did it all--read auras, palms, loved crystals, animals, and other heavily spiritual stuff that I always brushed off as an extremely weird past time for someone to practice.
So I creep out of my bed up to the case, open it up, grasp blindly in the dark and pull out this really huge sucker. Ive been away at college for the past 4 months and hadnt really looked at my mineral/pewter/crystalline collection but I knew this was one of the biggest crystals--no idea on the color tho.
this is where it got real weird...i wasnt even tripping that hard but when i grabbed that crystal my perceptions changed greatly. I began to see shards of light and my vision looked as if it was all chopped up like i were looking through a crystal. I meditated for a great while with that crystal sitting on my third eye. I began connecting with the power of the crystal and saw amazing rainbows flowing from my head.
Needless to say I am much more open, and heavily intrigued by these sort of things now. I will be using them much more in my meditation practices from now on. I recommend you all give it a try with an open mind as well.

Crystals and mineral specimens ROCK....! 
Here is a picture of my 8" Quartz point.....

If you want crystals with some cool aesthetic character, check out some stilbite bowties, or some chocolate melanite garnet, or some green fluorite from the Rogerly mine in England (it fluoresces blue in the sun or UV light), or some hoppered bismuth, or or or.... Too many to list.... 
Optical Calcite (Iceland Spar), if you find a nice polished chunk, is a trip toy in itself.... Besides the rainbows, it doubles everything on the other side - when looking thru it....

I think crystals are beautiful and I love them. It just hasn't been one of my abilities to harness their power tho. My affinity seems to be more with the earth itself or trees.
I had pretty much stopped gazing for a few years. My hubby always was uncomfortable with it.
This past summer I went to a small gathering in a special place. Even before I started partaking in anything I was walking around constantly brushing my legs off. Kept feeling like something was crawling up my legs. I'd look down and nothing.
There was POWER in this place. Alot of power. It awoke something I had tried to put away. I did the most intense, beautiful channeling there. I became what I knew I always have been. For the first time ever I was able to do these things without the fear that has always crippled me, making me be less than I could be.
So yes, I too have been feeling a renewed spirit.

humm, thats a nice way of describing it.
i was laid off for christmas, and I look forward to being able to work in the garden again. even though it is winter, you can still do a lot of clean-up. i am glad my garden is asleep. when it finally wakes , it should be pleased with the changes I have made.
i am also planing to bury my three new quartz points till spring. i have to investigate if they will crack with the sharp temp change.

Oh the garden! The soil! YES! Some of my happiest moments have been in nurturing and tending the earth.
Like I said I don't know alot about crystals but I would think a temp change from colder to warmer wouldn't harm them. Maybe from warm to cold tho.

Should be fine.... They survived uncracked outside till someone found them....  They might crack if you put them in the freezer, then drop them in boiling water or something like that.... I did that to some glass marbles once.... It was kinda~ kewl because they didn't fall apart....

thanks PhanTom C - i sort of had the same thinking - they are millions of years old, i think they can take a cold Queens February. But you can never be too careful.
I am waiting on them now - I am seriously excited. I have cleared out an area for them in the garden under my prize possession, a Japanese Maple that was planted on my 11th birthday.

after burying/cleansing your crystals do you notice a much stronger/different vibration in them? all of my crystals were gifted to me probably close to a decade ago...im wondering when i should cleanse mine

From what I know, the time to clean crystals is entirely up to the person who is working with them. I find that after soaking in sea salt water, they are a bit 'brighter' - so yes I do a see a change. (NOTE: not all crystals/stones can be soaked, be careful)
Personally, I like to clean a crystal as soon as I get it, as if I am 'resetting it' to now receive my vibrations.
I have been reading extensively (just Google key words to get on a path, the rest will open up to you) that burying in earth actually 'feeds' the crystal, since it is of the earth, and usually withdrawn, and never replaced.
The crystals I am acquiring are for a very specific purpose (astral projection) I want them to be as strong as possible.
I am also not ready for the astral travel yet, and while I prepare myself, I will take comfort that my crystals are receiving beneficial Gaia energy, so they will be able, (and as crazy as this sounds) grateful that they were allowed to regenerate their energy.

Oh heck, if you are going to be burying them in the yard, they will be fine.... The dirt will act as an insulator/blanket.... All tempurature fluctuations will be much more slowed the deeper you bury them....  But, they should be fine out in the cold weather and sunlight as well....

Well, my initial feelings towards the crystals I purchased were right.
Initially I felt one of the crystals was a 'mother' crystal - turns out this is a very old crystal, called an 'etched' crystal - it has natural etching on it resembling cuneiform - used to aid in past life regression.
The crystal I was drawn to the most, is called an Isis crystal (has a dominate face with 5 sides) it aids in channeling, OBE and accessing the Akashic record.
the littlest and clearest of my 3 still has not revealed its self. I believe it need deep cleaning and to be awakened. which I will be working on this week.

I never really believed in this crystal stuff until I started wearing a piece of fluorite.
I bought a piece w/ a "it couldn't hurt" mind set but after a week I noticed a fairly significant change in my emotions, unfortunately after a month or so it came loose and I lost it.

at the risk of sounding kooky - maybe it came to do what it had to do (show you there is merit in crystals) and then left.

I thought of that. And as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure I was home for most of the day so I might just find it again when I really need it.
