Crystals of the Week

Crystals have become a major part of Paganism and the New Age. There are hundreds of different types and thousands of uses for them, both mundane and magical. While the mundane uses of minerals and gemstones is far beyond the scope of this site, I am deeply interested in the magical, spiritual and ritual uses of the beautiful and powerful minerals. It would seem that many of our visitors are as well, so I have created the this page. Each week this page will feature a different article from those submitted by our community of visitors.

Gemstones and minerals often feature as ritual tools, are worn as jewelry and amulets, and are attached to magic wands. They are also frequently used to enhance spell work. You can learn more about this fascinating aspect of Magic on this Gemstone and Mineral Power page.
