Stone Divination

[zayin]

This is the standard outline that I use in reading crystals. All crystals have traditional meanings associated with them, and you can use any stone. This is just a suggested outline, but any crystals can be used, the meaning of the stone will clearly answer the questions you ask. You can add any stone to the bag you choose, as you get familiar with the different stone's meanings. Every crystal has it's own unique vibration that calls out to our own energy, according to what we need. Just place the stones in a bag, ask your question, and pick out a stone. If more than one falls out, read them all. Not all the meanings are listed so it is often needed to consult a crystal book for furthur understanding of the crystal's properties, and what it is telling you. The more you use the stones the more familiar they get. I have a few stone books and a very good one is 'The Crystal Bible' by Judy Hall.


Amethyst- A life change and shift in awareness. A faithfulness in love, freedom from jealousy.

Agate- Worldly success or a pleasant surprise. Good health, wealth, and long life. Particularly lucky for people connected with the earth.

Blue lace agate- Healing is needed.

Black agate- needs and will find courage and prosperity.

Red agate- Health and longivity are yours.

Bloodstone- Unpleasant surprise, unlickly to be an illness.

Adventurine- Futur growth, and expansion are possible, step up and take leader ship.

Garnet- A letter is on the way.

Citrine- Celestial wisdom is advising you.

Diamond, or Clear quartz- Permanence. Business advacement. If the crystal loses it's sparkle, betrayal.

Thank you for posting this...I'll have to check out that book. I have a bunch of stones, but I'm not sure what they are. I guess I'll have to do some research on them first.

This is great information...any other books you can recommend...or websites?

Andin,
Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic is great. Scott practically paved the way for reference material regarding 'magic' uses of stones and herbs, and certainly did his homework. 'Crystal enchantments' by DJ Conway, I found very disappointing, I don't even know where she got most of the info from, it doesn't correlate with what I know/feel, or read. Not that DJ is a poor writer, as I enjoyed some of her other works, but was dissapointed in this. The benifit of Judy's book (Crystal bible) is that there is good pics for identifying stones, however Scott's book is more informative and complete. If possible I recommend the use of both those two, but for a starting point I'd say the Bible. Now about the web, well the info is scattered and I found you can find a whole lot of bunk info that is discouraging. If you look hard enough you can find that the world is flat! lol. Of course all this is opinionated.

Wow that's great info. I have also been wanting to get into crystal magic but I don't want to start too many endeavors at once. My cards have warned against this lol. But I will definately keep this in mind and make a note to get the books you have recomended.

Thank you very much for the book recommendations. Like Anise, I have to wait a bit before getting involved in anything else, but I find this very interesting and will probably check out those books. I can at least skim through them and they will be there for when I am ready.
