As with all tools, the must be cleansed of past associations and vibrations
once they are selected for your magickal workings. These are a few methods of
cleansing that you may want to use:
Method 1:
Fill a non-metallic bowl with warm spring water and add a few tablespoons of
sea salt. Using a stick, or your finger, stir the mixture and add your stones.
Stir the mixture and the stone, then allow them to rest undisturbed over night.
When removing your stones, rinse with spring water to remove any salt. Place
the stones in sunlight to dry and charge, removing them at night, repeat for
3 days.
Method 2:
Fill a non metallic bowl with sea salt, and bury the stones in the salt,
allowing to rest overnight. When removing, rinse with spring water to remove
any salt, and place in sun for 3 days to charge, removing them at night.
(This method not recommended fro high lustre stones, as salt will dull their
appearance).
Method 3:
Allow to dry in direct sunlight for an hour or so (not recommended for
amethyst, rose quartz, aquamarine, smokey quartz and flourite, as they will
fade quickly if exposed to sunlight).
Method 4:
Place over night under the light of the Full Moon.
Method 5:
Bury in the Earth for 3 days.
Method 6:
In a non-metallic bowl, mix spring water and sea salt, or water from the sea,
and soak stones for several hours, preferably overnight.
Method 7:
Smudge stone with sage or cedar.
After using a stone for your magickal workings, you may wish to cleanse or
clear it. This is not necessary if you will use this stone for the same purpose
again. If a stone is used for healing or drawing out illness or disease, then
it is highly recommeded that you cleanse it.
Note:
Tap water that has been boiled and cooled can be substituted for spring water.
Regular salt may be used in the place of sea salt.
