What is a crystal grid? 

Basically, its a layout/design of crystals, stones, and various other objects meant to help bring a certain purpose.

How do I make one?

Well, I first start out by thinking of a concept or the entire theme of the grid. What is its purpose? What does it need to do?

I then think about the stones/objects that would best benefit the grid I am doing.

Next, I think of a layout. How can I most effectively design my crystal grid? 

Then, I need to think about how I want it to work. Will it slowly draw in power? Or will it be quickly? Will it draw the needed thing directly into the grid? Or will it help spread it throughout my house?

How long will I have it set up?

————-

Example

Alright, I’ve decided I want the main theme of the crystal grid to be “good luck”. I want it to gather as much as possible and to store it in the center of the grid.

What stones, crystals, and objects should I use?

I make a list of stones that I associate with luck

green calcite 

green jasper

jade

emerald

I make a list of stones I associate with attraction/draw

magnets

rose quartz

moon stone

I make a list of stones I associate with focus and storing

quartz crystal

fluorite

With the lists down, I can start designing the layout of the grid. I want the design to help flow the energy to the center of the grid

So now, I will focus on the outer layer of the grid. I call this layer the “outer stones" 

I will place down the good luck stones. Green Calcite is the one I’ve decided to go with. 

With the first layer done, I will focus on the second one. I call it the "aiding layer”

This layer is focusing on attracting and drawing in the good luck. I will be putting the magnets on this layer

The next layer is called the “Support layer”. Its main purpose is to focus on the center point of the grid.

I’ve decided to use fluorite and quartz crystal, since they help focus and  draw things in naturally. 

and the final layer, the “Center point” the main focus of the grid.

I’ve decided that I would use a cup as the center point. It will help store the good luck within.

What will I do with it now?

I’ll leave the crystal gird somewhere (makes a pretty decoration) and let the cup will with good luck.

To honor the season and the thinning of the veil that happens during this part of the year, I decided it would be fun to set up a 31 day spirit work challenge for October! While I did design this with October 2017 in mind, you can start this anytime and in any month! To participate, do the challenges and then write a post about it! You don’t need to do this in order – if you want to rearrange days to fit your schedule feel free!

Tag me and I will reblog your post as well! I would love to see your progress during this challenge! You can also tag your posts #ttvchallenge2017 and I will follow along!

Day 1: Who or what got you interested in spirit work?  

Day 2: Write down 5 goals you have for the next year. They don’t have to be big. Can spirit work help you with these in any way? How?  

Day 3: Spend time working on your astral area. If you don’t have one yet, now is a good time to discover or design it! If you already know what it looks like, do some maintenance or work within it. Write about your experiences/what you did.  

Day 4: What is your favorite method(s) of communication? Write about it and why.  

Day 5: How are your protections/wards? Have you checked and reinforced them lately? Spend some time reinforcing your protections and wards today. 

Day 6: Spend some time designing an altar for your spirit work. If you want, you can actually set it up, but the focus is just on designing it! Use pinterest, make a blog post designing it, draw it, write about it… whatever! Just design your ideal spirit working altar!

Day 7: Try to communicate with a spirit that you may overlook otherwise. This can be your car, the spirit of a rock, plant spirits, your house spirit, etc.  

Day 8: Spend some time aligning your energy points and/or doing some aura work. Alternatively, you can work on opening up your inner eye. Suggested exercise: [x]

Day 9: Do a guided meditation of your choice with a spirit & record how it goes.

Day 10: Discover what your astral self looks like. Draw or describe what your astral form looks like when you discover it. Was it different then how you expected or how you look like physically? If you already know your astral form, go ahead and do the above exercise as well, but has it changed over time?

Day 11: Spend time outside during the day (if you can) with a spirit. Go for a walk, lounge on the grass and talk with them, go sit at a café – whatever you enjoy!

Day 12: Draw a spirit of your choice. This can be a companion or another spirit you work with or have worked with in the past. It doesn’t have to be good or perfect even, but flex those creative muscles.  

Day 13: Find a song that best represents the spirit of your choice. Listen to it with them. Better yet, make a playlist with them or for them! Journal your thoughts, why you chose this song, how your spirit reacted to your choice, etc

Day 14: Attempt or practice your automatic writing with a spirit! Post your results if you like, and journal your thoughts and feelings on this automatic writing session. How did it go? How do you think you can improve your next attempt?

Day 15: Reflect on your favorite aspects of spirit work as well as your least favorite aspects of it, if any. Journal about it.

Day 16: Figure out the tarot card that most represents the spirit of your choice. Explain why. (You can do this with more spirits if you want to as well.)

Day 17: Go on an astral adventure with one of the spirits that you work with! If you can’t astral travel or project yet, spend this time practicing or meditating with your companion.

Day 18: Spend some time thinking about 3-5 areas of your spirit work practice that can be improved, as well as different ways that you can improve upon these areas in the coming months/years. Write it all down.

Day 19: Cleaning and cleansing day! Spend some time cleaning your space and spiritually cleansing it as well. Journal about how your space feels before and after the cleansing.  

Day 20: Pick a movie or TV show that both you and a spirit friend/family member will enjoy and watch it together

Day 21: Pick any method of communication you don’t normally use or have never attempted and attempt to communicate with a spirit of your choice via this new route.  

Day 22: Spend time with a spirit outside (if possible) during the nighttime! Go for a walk (safely please!), stare at the stars together, or any other activity the two of you will enjoy together!

Day 23: What is a type of spirit you would like to learn more about or work with more and why? Journal about it. After you journal, do a bit more research into that spirit and record your discoveries!

Day 24: Spend some time connecting with your guides. Helpful guided meditations: [x] [x] [x] Youtube is also a great source for guided meditations! This workbook may also be helpful to some. [x]

Day 25: Do you work with any past life spirits? Either spirits of you from your past lives, or spirits that you knew in your past lives. If yes, what are your experiences with them? If not, would you be curious? Why/why not?

Day 26: Try playing a video game with a spirit! See if they like it or what they think of it!

Day 27: Practice scrying with a spirit. Record how it goes.

Day 28: Find out more about the past of a spirit of your choosing (that is willing to share with you, don’t push it or open any wounds). Where are they from? What is it like there? What are their friends like?  

Day 29: Spend time meditating and connecting to your higher self. Suggested Exercise: [x]

Day 30: Practice energy work with a spirit. If you are just starting out with energy work or have never practiced it before, attempt sensing the energy of a spirit or plant!

Day 31: Now that your 31 day journey is almost over, spend time reflecting over the last few weeks. What have you learned from this challenge, if anything? Did you try anything new? What day was the most challenging for you? The least? Journal your feelings about it.  

Alternative Days: I created two alternative days that you can sub out with one of the days listed above, if needed.

Alt Day 1: Practice energy shielding! This is really important when it comes to spirit work (in my opinion), and scales to skill level as well.  

Alt Day 2: Work with your own energy. Figure out how you feel energetically, and practice forming your own energy, as it can help you sense a spirits energy as well.  

A simple Sigil of Patience.
