Crystals and Gems and Stones
Gems and Stones carry the living force, or energy just like people. Various religions use them for different things. The force of gems and stones can be absorbed into the human body. They can be used in spells or hands-on healing and things like enhancing people's spiritual qualities and power. When using gems and stones they always should be cleansed, consecrated and empowered. One way is to let them soak in a glass of spring water, or hold them in a stream under a running faucet, or holding it in the sun or the full moon light. Gems and stones are to be worn as close to the body as possible, like on necklaces under a shirt. Also you can put them in a pouch, some they then they are protected, and the power is kept within, and only to the person who holds it. Size of the gem or stone isn't important, big or small, all is always welcome.
Try holding a stone/gem in your hand, be somewhere quiet for the first time, have a variety of stones and gems too. And when you hold them close your eyes and see what you are feeling. If one of them makes you feel good, then obviously that's one that you mix well with. If one makes you feel uncomfortable leave it for a while, then come back to it, and see what happens. If nothing comes through don't stress, or get frustrated, that deosn't help. Write down what you feel for each one in your book of shadows (just like a private notebook will do the trick too).
