Crystals for Lunar Magic
Crystals are wonderful companions to work with lunar magic.
We can learn so much from the moon and her ever-changing cycles, and, in turn, tune into her energies to help us flow with the rhythms and cycles of our own lives.
Using the moon’s energies to release and let go allows us to create space for new beginnings and amazing opportunities for ourselves, ensuring that we continue to grow and move forward in life, rather than holding ourselves back or staying stuck in the past.
Month by month, moon by moon, working with lunar energies gives us the opportunity to check in with where we are in our lives, and whether that’s where we want to be. From there, we get to make conscious change, releasing whatever stands in the way and moving our lives in the direction of our dreams.
Moonstone is the first and most obvious choice to connect with lunar energies.
Moonstone is about new beginnings. It will help you to bring your moon intentions to life, linking you to your intuition and the waxing and waning cycles of the moon.
On a new moon, hold your moonstone and state out loud or whisper in your heart your new-moon intentions for the coming cycle. Ask your moonstone for support, guidance and wisdom in bringing these intentions to life.
Reconnect with your moonstone on the full moon, meditating with it and looking back over the two weeks since the new moon. What has worked and what hasn’t?
Use your moonstone now to set your intentions of what you need to release over the waning part of the lunar cycle. Once more, whisper them to your moonstone, asking for help and guidance in releasing whatever stands in the way.
Add other crystals to your moonstone to increase the potency of your moon magic. One of the most powerful ways to work with lunar cycles and crystals is to create grids.
I begin the grid on the night of the new moon and keep it in place throughout the lunar cycle. I may then refresh it, completely change it or keep it in place for a further lunar cycle if the same intentions need some extra moon magic.
A simple grid is to use clear quartz points around your moonstone. On a new moon and through the waxing part of the cycle, the points should face in, to keep bringing energy to your new-moon intention. On the full moon and through the waning part of the cycle, the points should be turned out, for releasing and letting go of what no longer serves you.
