After a few spells, astral visits, and offerings, your body begins feeling drained. Energy needs replenished, your mind needs time to recollect its lost processes. Magick can be a tiring thing to do, and it can really damage you physically and mentally. Without the right protection, the right amount of rest, the right amount of food, your intent could go spiraling from a clear mind to a foggy future.
Self care is important, for before and after anything that deals with a large amoutn of energy and magick.
~Spells and Rituals~
Even the tiniest of rituals and spells could lead to a huge depletion of energy or serious harm.
~Before~
-Cast necesarry protection spells
-Make sure you are hydrated and well fed
-Do not be mixed up in intentions
-Make sure you are focused and not dozing off
-PLEASE. DONT. BE. TIRED.
-Have a plan
-Do not have anxiety or be in a huge depressed state (unless the spell is to relieve these states, in which that case, do not feel at your worse)
~After~
-Thanks any Dieties
-Make sure you are hydrated and well fed
-Take a nap
-Ground/Center yourself
-Go for a walk
-Lie down in the grass
-Do something you love dearly (listen to music, play an instrument, video games, paint, draw, etc.)
-Conjure energy
~Divination~
Ah yes, the most used type of magick. This includes Ouija boards, scrying, tarots, runes, etc..
~Before~
-Have the necessary protections up
-Do not go in blindly (research)
-Be prepared for what could possibly happen
-MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE A SERIOUS MENTAL PROBLEM GOING ON. I REPEAT. NO ANXIETY ATTACKS, NO CLOUDED MINDS, NO BEING SUPER SAD, ETC. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE.
-Once again, be hydrated and well fed
-Have all tools with you and know how to use them properly
-If you have others with you, make sure they are aware of the possibilities, and they know what they are going to do
-Have something to record results
~After~
-Take a well needed nap
-Ground yourself
-Cleanse your tools
-Hydration. Eating.
-Look over results
-Connect with mother nature again
-Shower/bathe
Let me emphasize a few things. Always know your limits. If you feel too weak, stop. If you feel too powerful, take a breather. Remember that you do not have to do anything, and there is always tomorrow, or the next day. If you are not comfortable with anything, stop. If you feel scared, or fearful of an outcome, stop.
Be prepared. Be in good health, body and mind. Don’t treat yourself with less than you deserve.
fuck

Cleansing your crystals is an important, essential part of maintaining these sacred stones in your life. Like humans, crystals harbour a lot of energy throughout their travels, & influences such as the environment, & contact with other living beings can affect the stone. You may notice it is duller in it’s color, or you can no longer feel it’s subtle vibrations, but don’t fret! It is just your crystal communicating that it is in need of some tlc…
✧ Dry Salt Cleanse: Place your crystals in an appropriate sized bowl and pour in salt. I prefer to use natural sea salt, but cooking salt can be used as an alternative, both are excellent purifiers. Leave them be for a minimum of three hours, the longer the better! For added effect I like to place the bowl in the sunlight, as the sun reflects off the salt, it too aids in this effective purification process. Afterwards, bury the salt in the earth, or simply throw out, do not reuse the salt as it has already absorbed the unwanted energies from the crystals. Rinse off your stones & the cleansing is complete! This is a powerful crystal cleanse & I would recommend using it on newly brought crystals, as they have absorbed various energies from different people who have handled them in shops & throughout their travels. An important note when cleansing your crystals with salt, always check if your crystal is susceptible to salt damage as some stones are more fragile than others & are greatly affected by salt’s potentially corroding properties.
✧ Salt Water Cleanse: Suitable crystals & stones can be left to soak in a bowl of salt infused water for cleansing as well. Natural sea salt is recommended, but cooking salt is a good alternative. Again, do your research prior to the salt cleanse, making sure that your crystal will not be damaged by the salt, making sure they are fully submerged in the water, leaving to soak for up to 24 hours. Crystals that are in need of a deeper cleanse can be left for up to a week, or in accordance with the moon phases. I would not recommend this cleanse for crystal jewelry as the salt can damage the material that incases the crystal. When the cleanse is complete, thoroughly rinse the stones & tip out the salt water.
✧ Cluster/Geode Cleanse: Crystals can be left upon Amethyst or Clear Quartz Clusters, or inside Geodes for cleansing & charging purposes. Large Clusters & Geodes harbour & transmit higher energy frequencies, making them great sources for charging smaller stones, they also make ideal homes for your crystals when you’re not using them. Amethyst & Clear Quartz have been recommended because they neutralize energies & release positive energy back into the stones & the environment around it, effectively cleansing & charging crystals at the same time.
✧ Smoke Cleanse: Also known as ‘Smudging’ however, this term is reserved by Native Americans who recognize the act as highly sacred, to avoid cultural appropriation, I recommend using the term “smoke cleansing” or something similar to maintain respect for other cultures. For this cleansing process, crystals are held in incense smoke for up to 50 seconds to cleanse the stored energies. Sage, Sandalwood, or Cedarwood are ideal. A natural feather can also be used to fan the smoke over the crystals. Visualization can also be incorporated, as each stone is held in the smoke, visualize a radiant white light surrounding the crystal, followed by a pure white light coming down through the stone, passing all the way through to penetrate & release harboured energies stored deep within. Continue this visualization until you feel the light has done it’s job, you may notice a more radiant color, or certain glow to the stone, or may even feel it’s subtle vibrations, as it becomes fully receptive towards the positive thought energy you have generated.
Additional cleansing tips:
Crystals respond well to natural materials, avoid the use of metal bowls & try to use filtered water, or natural spring water as well as natural sea salt if possible. After each cleanse leave crystals out in full sunlight/moonlight.
Treat your crystals with love, & respect & they will surely love you back.
