Crystal Cleansing & Dedication

Cleansing & dedication of crystals is commonly done when specific crystals are needed for a specific task.
Most crystals have energies that align positively with just about every task known you just need to find the corresponding crystal for your task.
Their energies can be strengthened by cleansing & dedication of the stone.
There are lots of ways to cleanse crystals including burying them in the ground for a full Luna month, running them under water (be mindful some are soluble in water) while visualizing any negativity flowing out of them, soaking them in sea salt (be mindful some will not like salt either), sound bathing with cymbals/crystal or other signing bowls/tuning forks etc., or soaking them in sunlight then moonlight.  

We use the method below for most of ours as it's the safest for the crystals.

Those are just a few of the methods used all of which are effective and easy to do.
When you need them in a hurry or you need specific crystals for specific tasks this little ritual is quick easy & also effective.
The Crystal Bible & other crystal books are great resources for finding the stone you need for any task (refer to resources listed under Helpful Links).
If you can't obtain the specific crystal you need you can use clear quartz as long as you cleanse and charge it to the task.

Clear quartz is a wonderful amplifier of any energies, it can also be used to carry any other energy for a task however as energy is fluid it will dissipate eventually & return to its original state.
As it is also white or clear coloured energy stone it is fantastic as a protective amplifier for the home.
Setting a compass directional grid around the house with these is an effective & strong way of creating a protective barrier for the home.

Tools & Items You Will Need

• Your Chosen Crystal
• A Coal Tablet
• White Sage, Desert Sage or White Copal
• Cauldron or a Fire Proof Dish​

When You Are Ready to Begin

• Prepare your sacred space, refer to Spell/Ritual Preparation.
• We use our altar, clearing enough space for the cauldron of smouldering sage to sit in the middle, if you don't have an altar use a table/floor.  
• Concentrate & focus on the intent of your spell.
• You don't need to cast a circle for this spell however you can if you want to.
• It isn't necessary to have a cleansing bath or shower either however again if you want to then do so.
• It is a good idea to smudge yourself before beginning with the same incense you are using for the crystals.
• Have your incense burning & intent in mind.
• As you pass the crystal over the smoke recite the below.
• Also as you do this visualize the crystal filling with the intent.
• If you have cast a circle leave the stones within it until the incense you have used burns out (if this is practical).
• Close the circle.

Spell Example

I call to the spirit of the stone,
