Overview

Yes it is, just requires a weekly cleansing. I do sell crystals so feel free to talk to me

Oh I see I heard of the quartz and amethyst. I will look into getting these three stone and crystals when I have the fund. Is tiger eye a good stone

Black tourmaline, rose quartz, amethyst can help with stress

Can you tell me the names of the blue ones or the ones for stress

gotcha

I'm not sure of the name. When I buy crystals from my Facebook group I only get blue color ones. Or anything for stress. They ask questions to see if a certain crystals fit you

Do you have a favorite?

Hi everyone I love collecting crystals as well. But I tend to pull to blue shades of crystals. Since blue is my favorite color.

Moving is exciting but so draining! I found that lighting incense made unpacking feel way less stressful. This might help you too: https://nothingbutscents.com/blogs/seasonal-moods/set-the-vibe-for-spring-cleaning-with-incense — it’s got good tips for setting a calming vibe while you sort everything out. I used a soft lavender one and it turned sorting boxes into something kind of cozy.

Love tigers eye. Have a piece in my pocket with other types lol

My favorite has always been Tigers eye. I always have it with me. Right now I have one in my car, one in my purse, and a bracelet.

love black tourmaline; I think it's an understated crystal that doesn't get as much attention as it should. I have a small tower of it at my work desk and it works great to help with joint pain in the hands

Wow, good topic. There's so many, but one came right to mind. Call me strange, but I love crystal Black Tourmaline! Not only is it usually black and earthy, solid for grounding and banishment, but it has curved sides!! Wow! It fits in the hand like a rod, and if it's long enough, can easily be used to project too. It can be found in the mountains of Montana and Idaho, or at Gem shows. It's unique!

I have to admit, when I first fully dived into paganism, i wasn't that drawn to crystals but they have became an important part of my practice and things I sell to my clients to help them with various issues. Does anyone here have a favorite crystal? I have too many to name them all lol but one that holds a special place is in my heart is the trusty amethyst which has so many great uses and is just beautiful

There's a lot of plants to smudge with, but I wouldn't really use sage unless you're indigenous, similarly for palo santo. There's a million good plants to use to clean a space, or even just sprinkle salt water in all four corners. I like pine, holy basil, and white clover if you want to make a wand to burn.

My Sun sign is Capricorn but my Moon Sign, Rising Sign, and like 3 of my houses are in Scorpio and that describes me sooooo much better lol: "Capricorns are known for being ambitious, disciplined, and practical, often driven by a strong work ethic and a desire to achieve long-term goals. They are also characterized by their loyalty and responsibility, but can sometimes be seen as pessimistic, serious, or stubborn" -the loyalty and work ethic are about the only things matching "Scorpio moons have intense, mysterious, and complex emotions, a strong need for emotional security, and deep loyalty to loved ones. They are often insightful, emotionally intelligent, and can be fiercely protective of those they care about, but can also hold grudges or be prone to holding onto things." -very much me, every single word lol

My sun sign: Pisces ♓️ (8th house) pisces is empathetic, intuitive, deeply sensitive and spiritual. a sign that feels everything deeply and needs solitude to recharge. ruled by Neptune, planet of dreams, and is symbolised by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing duality and emotional depth. accurate traits: I absorb moods and atmosphere like water im creative and intuitive I need quiet time to process emotions and refill my energy traits I differ from: im not directionless, once I commit to something that actually matters to me, im all in I don’t idealise people easily, I can see the shadow side I think this is because my Pisces sun lives in the 8th house and is balanced by earth placements (Venus in Capricorn) that gives some structure. I still feel everything, but I’ve learned to contain it. 🌙

I’m a Virgo sun and always curious how that lines up with my personality. I’ve used trusted-psychics to explore zodiac sign meanings more deeply, and it added insight into how my traits connect with daily stuff, like relationships and stress. It also helps me learn more about how other signs vibe, which is fun when chatting with friends who are super into astrology too.

I’ve tried a few different decks, but I totally get what you mean about making a personal one—it just feels more connected. I’ve recently been getting deeper into psychic readings too, and having a deck that really speaks to me makes the whole experience feel more real. I love the idea of adding personal symbols and meanings instead of just sticking to what the guidebook says.

Me!!!! Specifically I am a follower of Loki and Freya though (I know that sounds like a random two to follow but it works lol).

I saw witches and got excited. I am norse pagan and got extra excited seeing this. Do I have any other norse pagans in here?

Personally, I always a Asperge as well as Smudge. I prefer the western wiccan use of using the five elements as guardians of a newly cleansed space. A burning smudge (or incense) stick uses the power of fire and air to cleanse, while a Bowl of salt water (sprinkle with fingertips) uses the power of water and earth. Using all four elements in the cleansing and protection of your house is better IMO than just a smudge stick. Finally, you are the fifth element - Spirit. Say a prayer, invoke the God and Goddess and ask for their blessings and protection. IMO, you need to do what feels right for you.

I definitely always smudge beforehand, and then again after I move back in. Your energy has everything to do with when you smudge, so remember to play music, have an open window for the bad energy to escape from, and be happy in your new place. Congratulations on your move, I hope that your new home brings you many good things. I just moved too, so I understand where you are coming from. 🖤

ahahaha you are so adorable. very very true. I will do it before and after x) Thank you!

@BluJinx If you're concerned, do a smudge in the empty space and then another after getting everything moved in and set up. You can never over smundge .... unless you count setting off the smoke alarms. {gigle}
