Greetings on this fine eve of eclipsed full moon!
I have started another journal for this year, and I got a red covered one this time. I thought that would fire up the writing process, yes? I have been fairly regularly writing there, for now anyway. Brighid bless!
I have so many journals and notebooks going, its a little ridiculous. One large sketchbook for tarot info, spreads, and hand drawn illustrations, ever ongoing....a bursting poetry binder....the regular journal for daily stuff, dreams, readings, definantly rants and ramblings... I used to keep a solitary eclectic wiccan book of shadows, but I am redefining my spirituality, and practices, and have retired, but kept, the book. I used to keep other types of journals, but it has gotten excessive already I think, so I am keeping it simpler these days. Well, trying to. It evolves. Do you keep a journal of some kind friends, other than this? :)
One of the discussion groups I participate in is meeting soon, and our next topic is crystals and gemstones. I wanted to take some of mine along, but most are packed away still at my inlaws since we moved. I hope to maybe make some trades, but show and tell atleast will be fun too. I think there are some rock shows in town coming soon, hope to catch some of those. Ive been trying to be more aware about how stones are taken from the earth, and its hard to know in some stores.
Im curious if anyone else uses stones and crystals in their magic, such a simple but powerful magic it is, and what are your favorites? How do you use them? I personally adore clear quartz, amethyst, malachite (but dont have any!), garnet, rose quartz, tigers-eye, oh etc...I am a rockhound for sure. Ive found that malachite and rose quartz together have a lovely (so to speak) energy. I wonder how garnet and tigers-eye would feel together, hm. I wear a faceted amethyst ring in silver and a moonstone ring in silver frequently. I think gemstones are a part of almost every magic I do, and I atleast honor them as the deeply sacred things that they are to me.
I was thinking earlier that the eclipsed moon had a garnet tone to it.
Just some rambling...
Hope this finds you all quite well and happy and healthy and prosperous!
Peace and Hugs,
Eala
Hi Eala, you`re not alone honey, my bookcase has more tattered hand written books on it than store bought! I prefer to look back on my own knowledge and thoughts but with the Aquarian mind forever changing I usually find I start another just to update my fresh outlooks, it`s amazing to see the growth you go through after reading back. My most valuable possessions are my books, I love them.
BWitchI`m the same with stones as well, they`re sitting all round my home on window sills, in pot plants, by the front door etc. I only wear black onyx but I`ll carry whichever stone in my pocket if I need help from its energy.
We`re actually going fossicking on the weekend for some, a place over here called "thunderbird park", as the gems (agates mainly) form in egg style rocks and need to be split open to retrieve the gift from inside, it`s the best time! I feel like I`ve been rewarded when I find them. Last one I found was split open to reveal a blue agate in the shape of a crescent moon, it`s spectacular.
Blessings to you Eala.
