First you will need to select a crystal. For the purposes of this ceremony it should ideally be a clear quartz crystal, though this technique can be used with other crystals and stones at other times for other purposes.
The details of the stone are not terribly important -whether it is large or small, clear or cloudy, etc... What matters is that it feels right to you. Select a crystal that "speaks to" you. You may just have a knowing of what crystal is correct to use, or you may use the technique of running your hand slightly above a number of crystals and using the one that feels "different" from the others. Of course if you have only one crystal available to you to use, you should assume that it is the right one for the job, since it is there.
In the event that you have tried but cannot get a quartz crystal, you should take it as a sign that you are meant to use another sort of stone for some reason, and select a stone from whatever may be available -the Goddess will make sure you get what is needed. Though we regard that it is best to use a quartz crystal, one must be sensitive to the will of Deity and if She wishes you to use a different kind of stone and expresses this by an absence of available quartz crystals, then by all means use what She provides.
Now you will need a place to bury your crystal. The crystal must be buried in the Earth, and ideally it should be a place that has special meaning for you. It is not necessary that the crystal be buried directly on a ley line -rather the crystal will be used to form a remote link.
Dig a hole in which to bury your crystal -a garden trowel will prove an excellent instrument for this, but any digging tool may be used. Depending upon the level of privacy you may wish to use your athame, since this is a sacred act. The hole does not need to be large, but should be somewhat deep so that the crystal will not be easily exposed by the elements or by digging animals. In this sense, the deeper the hole, the better.
Now you are ready for the actual ritual.
Because this is an attunement, we are going to try to all do it at once -all around the world. This will magnify the energy greatly. If however you cannot join us at the time of the attunement, do the ritual as near the time of the attunement as possible. Since the basic purpose of this ritual is to connect you to the Crystal Web, it is more important that you connect than that it be at a given time.
Dig your hole before the attunement time so that this is done and ready.
Now cast a Circle. Since you will be out of doors and may not be burying your crystal in a private place, you may want it to be a very simple Circle: you can do it entirely in your head, imagining the Circle around you, then silently calling the Quarters and imagining Them as pillars of white light. You may invoke Goddess and God silently.
Of course if you are in a more private place, or are comfortable being observed casting a Circle, you may do the Circle as elaborately as you choose.
Make sure you have a watch or clock with you, so that you can tell when the moment of attunement comes.
At the moment of attunement, hold your crystal in both hands. Above the crystal imagine a three dimensional triangle of white light. Take a moment to imagine this fully. Then imagine the triangle spinning clockwise.
Become aware of your Heart Chakra. Imagine a ball of white light in the Heart Chakra and when this is clear in your head, imagine sending a beam of green light from the Heart Chakra into the spinning triangle.
As the green light enters the triangle, it will change its shape, becoming a cube (still spinning clockwise). Imagine this transformation fully. Fill the cube with green light from your Heart Chakra.
Once the spinning cube is filled with green light, the flow will reverse, and green light will return from the cube to your Heart. Imagine the green light filling your heart, then your chest, then your whole body -as well as the crystal held in your two hands. Let the crystal become full of this light, so that it is glowing with green light and shining out in all directions like a green Sun.
Let the image of the spinning cube fade, but continue to imagine the crystal filled with green light. Place the crystal into its hole, and cover it over.
Place both hands directly over the now-covered hole and focus white light down into the Earth and the buried crystal.
Now charge the crystal to link into the Crystal Web. This may be spoken aloud or done silently. You might say something like: "O crystal, I charge you to link into the Crystal Web, becoming one with its energies. Through you I gain access to the Web, which links my family."
Now imagine a beam of white light coming from the crystal and shooting off in one or another direction, underground -this is the crystal linking into the Web. You may or may not be able to see what direction the beam goes in -this is all right, it is not imperative that you know just now. This will not be the only time you will use the crystal and if you don't see exactly how it links in this time, you may next time. If you are good at visualization however, you may find that you see not only the link created by your own crystal, but perhaps the whole Web itself.
Now that your crystal is linked, you are finished and should take down your Circle, then clear and release.
(To use this crystal in the future, follow these steps: imagine the buried crystal within a cube of white light. Imagine the cube spinning clockwise. Focus a beam of energy from your heart into the cube, and imagine it changing into a triangle, still spinning: the crystal will then be open and may be interacted with. When finished, allow the image to fade.)
