The Magic of Crystals
I have been working with crystals all my life both for healing and scrying. I instinctively wear one myself, intuitively place several on a client’s birth chart - or on a client if I was seeing them face to face, or I hold one for a few moments to energise it and then send it wherever it is needed. My home always has crystals around because they feel good to me, and many are programmed to help other people, or the world. But it wasn’t until I wrote The Crystal Bible
that I appreciated quite how many crystals there are, and the enormous range of possibilities they encompass. Researching Crystal Prescriptions and The Crystal Healing Pack took me back to the use of gemstones for healing in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and beyond. For my M.A. in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology I tracked the origins of the use of crystals with a horoscope over two thousand years ago. It truly is an ancient science and has led me to looking at the history of birthstones, which link my twin passions of crystals and astrology, in much greater depth.

Crystals are objects of beauty and power. They can attract a soulmate; protect you, your car and your home; energise or relax, and heal everyday ailments. Crystals cleanse and invigorate the energies in your home and workplace, and they can even change your future. I’d like to share with you some crystals that I find particularly useful, many of these are old favourites but there are one or two new ones too. Several of them can be found in The Crystal Healing Pack in which I share crystal healing techniques using twelve master healers that form an excellent ‘first aid’ kit for every level of your being.
Good vibrations
If you are surrounded by good vibrations your health and wellbeing are assured and crystals have always been revered for putting out good vibes. I wear a beautiful piece of Shattuckite and Ajoite. This stone protects against subtle ill-wishing, connects me to higher levels of being, and offsets the effects of mobile phone and Tetra masts as well as computers. If you, like me, are sensitive to mobile phone emanations, then taping a piece of Black Tourmaline or Smoky Quartz (which is in the Crystal Healing Pack) onto the phone works wonders as it re-integrates your auric field. Black Tourmaline, Smoky Quartz and Amethyst (also in the pack) are excellent for turning back ill-wishing or curses and are highly protective when worn in a spiral around the neck – and, traditionally, Amethyst has the added attraction of warding off inebriation. If you want to keep your energy clear at all times, a Quartz crystal can be used to ‘comb’ all around your body about a foot out. It absorbs negative energy, repairs weak spots in your biomagnetic field, and re-energies your whole body.
