Sidetracking from usual posts because I got started late because my brain thought it was Sunday and I hadn't gotten some book club stuff done. Heh, oops.
My cousin was in a car crash yesterday. She's okay physically but she's really shaken emotionally. That got me thinking about crystals while we watched some movies to act as a distraction and such and I was thinking....I should make a crystal bag for me to help with some patience and insecurity issues. Because there is nothing wrong with asking for help, no matter what former teachers told me saying that magic can and should only be used as an absolute last resort. I feel like I need a boost and this is my next step.
I saw some
medicine bags online. The price is really reasonable but as much as I love Sacred Mists, waiting for 3-4 weeks for things to be delivered from California seems silly when I have a ton of bags here that I've made and a really wide selection of crystals. So why don't I just make my own? I can anoint it with
oils and charge it up. Plus it'll be nice to hold on to while my family visits next week. And I have it while I need it.
I have a total of six stones for the bag, and tomorrow I'm going to put them all together in a small ritual. They are:
Moonstone-Helps boost confidence and control, while also controlling fears
Smokey quartz-Helps protect against despair and dread
Emerald-gives patience
Malachite-gives rationality
Amethyst-calms obsessive behaviours
Iolite-soothes feelings of over-attachment
