Stone Spells
Protection - Amber
If you feel you are being subjected to heavy negativity, light a white candle and place it on the ground or floor. Sit before it with a handful of small amber beads or pieces, and using them, create a circle around yourself. Sit within the circle while restoring your energy and closing yourself to any and all outside influences. Repeat as necessary.
Place nine small beads or pieces of amber into a bath of very warm water. Soak in the tub until the water cools, then retrieve the amber, towel off, and carry or wear one of the beads or pieces until your next bath.
Emotional Upset - Amethyst
When emotionally upset, stressed to the point of severe mental problems, or when in any unstable condition, go to a place outside where you can be alone. Hold an amethyst in your left hand. Pour out all your feelings, your emotions, from your body through your arm, out your palm and into the stone.
Feel every pain, every emotional low, every hurt. Send it into the stone with all the force of your innate magical abilities. When the stone is nearly bursting with negativity, throw it with as much force as you can muster. Scream, howl, choke out a shout as you throw the stone. As your hand releases the amethyst, release the hurt as well. Know that it is in the stone, that it is outside you, that it is now alien to you.
Calm down, breathe deeply, meditate for a few moments. Thank the earth for its help, then turn around and leave your problems behind you. The earth will absorb the hurt, leaving the stone free, but never bring that stone into your life again.
Psychic Awareness - Aquamarine
A gentle cleansing tincture can be made by placing an aquamarine in a glass of fresh water. Let this sit in full moonlight outdoors, if possible, for three hours. Retrieve the stone and drink the liquid for purification and heightened psychic awareness.
Divination - Azurite
Place a piece of azurite between two white candles in a darkened room. Light the candles. Hold the azurite in you hand until it is warm, emptying you mind of thought. Close your eyes until you feel the azurite's soft, slow energies touching your hand. Then open your eyes and gaze at the stone until answers or messages come through.
Divination - Hematite
In a darkened room, light a red candle. Settle before it and hold a large piece of hematite so that the candle flame is reflected on it. Gaze at the reflection and visualize a question. The answer will come to you.
Money Spell - Tiger's Eye
Take a bill of the highest denomination you have. Rub it completely with the tiger's eye, then tightly wrap the bill around the stone. Tie the bill firmly to it with green thread and carry in your pocket to increase your money. Don't spend the bill until the spell has worked.
Love Spell - Chrysocolla
Place a piece of chrysocolla in your hand. Visualize it attracting a love to you. Place the stone in a small red or pink cup half-filled with water. In this place three red roses. Add fresh roses to the water as the others fade. Love will come into your life.
Beauty Spell - Opal
Place a round mirror on the altar or behind it so you can see your face within it while kneeling. Place two green candles on either side of the mirror. Light the candles. Empower the opal with your need for beauty. While holding the stone, gaze into your reflection. With visualization, mold and form your face and body to the form you desire. Carry or wear the opal and dedicate yourself to improving your appearance.
