CLEANSING YOUR STONES

 

       

Method 1

Fill a non-metallic bowl with warm spring water and add a few tablespoons of sea salt. Using a stick, or your finger, stir the mixture and add your stones. Stir the mixture and the stone, then allow them to rest undisturbed overnight. When removing your stones, rinse with spring water to remove any salt. Place the stones in sunlight to dry and charge, removing them at night, repeat for 3 days.

 

Method 2

Fill a non metallic bowl with sea salt, and bury the stones in the salt, allowing to rest overnight. When removing, rinse with spring water to remove any salt, and place in sun for 3 days to charge, removing them at night. (This method not recommended fro high lustre stones, as salt will dull their appearance).

 

Method 3

Allow to dry in direct sunlight for an hour or so (not recommended for amethyst, rose quartz, aquamarine, smokey quartz and flourite, as they will fade quickly if exposed to sunlight).

 

Method 4

Place overnight under the light of the Full Moon.

 

Method 5

Bury in the Earth for 3 days.

 

Method 6

In a non-metallic bowl, mix spring water and sea salt, or water from the sea, and soak stones for several hours, preferably overnight.

 

Method 7

Smudge stone with sage or cedar.

 

 

Method 8

Hold the stone in your projective hand, and concentrate on willing positive white energy into the stone, banishing the negative energy.  This charges the stone with your personal energy.

 

After using a stone for your magickal workings, you may wish to cleanse or clear it. This is not necessary if you will use this stone for the same purpose again. If a stone is used for healing or drawing out illness or disease, then it is highly recommeded that you cleanse it.

 

Note: Tap water that has been boiled and cooled can be substituted for spring water. Regular salt may be used in the place of sea salt.
