MC: Crystal Magic for Beginners
Here is my "homework" from the Mini Course "Crystal Magic for Beginners". I have attached pictures of the stones I mentioned in the activities except for the lapis.
Lesson 1 Activity:
I held a piece of sea sediment Jasper. It is cool but not cold, light weighted, and very smooth. Almost soft feeling, like if suede was a rock.
Lesson 2 Activity:
Lapis lazuli. I was drawn to the sapphire blue as a child - consciously due to its rich sapphire blue color. Upon researching it more, I definitely feel a connection to the meanings of wisdom and knowledge since I am always passionate about learning, anything and everything. I also feel a pull towards the spiritual enlightenment aspects since I am in this new stage of my life diving into my craft. As of completing this activity, I am doing the sigil daily group activity and chose to make a sigil for success - which is one aspect of life using lapis can help
Lesson 3 Activity:
The stone I chose for the next few activities is Moonstone. The specific crystal I chose is a crescent shaped carved crystal held in a handcrafted wire framed pendant with a tree holding the stone in place. Before working with her (her energy feels feminine. Gentle, but firm in her guidance she will bring me.), I apologized for not being able to ask her permission to work together before bringing her into my home (she was part of an auctioned lot of stones and beads ill be using to make jewlery), and then asked her if we could work together using the choosing recitation from Lesson 2. I felt a tingling in my hand that got stronger as I held my hand over her, so I thanked her for allowing us to work together. I cleansed her that night in the moonlight.
Lesson 4 Activity:
I did the activities for Lessons 4 and 5 together with that same Moonstone pendant. The intention I programmed into her was for her to carry calmness and to balance some difficult emotions I know I'll be experiencing soon. Lesson 5 Activity describes my first day keeping her near me. I also commented on a post about guides with some of my experience in these first few days. I ended this week feeling very content and sure of myself in a calm and collected way. I feel like I will hold onto this feeling as I continue to work with the moonstone pendant.
Lesson 5 Activity:
The first day I wore her was Thursday, the first in a set of potentially difficult days. I felt calm and steady and assured through the day. When holding her I could feel a gentle pulsating tingling sensation in my palm that was in line with my own pulse. These past two days since choosing and working with her, I have felt very attuned and connected with her.
Lesson 6 Activity:
I researched crackle quartz. I was interested because a pink crackle quartz stone was included in the same lot of jewelry I got my moonstone pendant from and it was very visually striking. What I learned:
[ ] not a naturally occurring form of crystal - must be heated and rapidly cooled and is sometimes infused with minerals or dyed during this process
[ ] The cracks in the stone are thought to represent: new beginnings, breaking of old habits and discovery of new perspectives, can help with clarity of thought, concentration, focus, and releasing emotional blockages
[ ] Because of the cracks, crackle quartz is more fragile than other quartz and is one of the least durable tumbled stones. It is tumbled and polished before quenching since it would not survive tumbling after the crackles form. Without lots of cushioning, it often breaks during shipment. Rarely, Raw stones are quenched but they are not as visually striking and have rough or sharp edges that make them harder to handle safely. As with any quartz, there is a risk of silica dust inhalation if shattered, ground, or filed, or carved.
