How intriguing! Words as a magical focus? I'm so in.

I am conscious of the need to promote ethical crystal mining and reduce the excessive use of crystals ... and I discuss the subject of ethical crystal procuring and use in my recent book, “The Art Of Witch.” This photo montage is of a crystal rock which I found while hiking on Hans Lollick Island (pictured in the background) earlier this year. I feel that this raw crystal is the most potent and ethical to use in my ritual work and to have on my altar. Lately I have been receiving a lot of messages from you asking “How can I know if the crystals in stores are ethically mined?” Below is an article I hope you will all find useful. In it is discussed some of the concerns I have about the exploitative crystal market... and also some solutions ... like ‘Mine Your Own Crystals’ ... privately owned mines (including zero carbon emission operations) where you can let your intuition guide you to a very special crystal aligned with your unique energy, and dig it out of the ground, polish and nurture it yourself. A far more profound and potent relationship can be forged with a crystal like this... rather than just buying one in a store. Or you can just go on a spiritual hiking adventure somewhere like I did, and scrub your toe on a rock that splits open and reveals gems of beauty that you just ‘know’ are aligned with you. All thoughts to consider.... Blessings to you all 🖤✨ https://newrepublic.com/article/148190/know-healing-crystals-come-from #theartofwitch #witchesofinstagram #modernwitchesdaily #thewitchwave #ethicallysourcedcrystals #modernwitch #bethechange #magickallife #happyjoyousandfree (at Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3iCvqAhrfd/?igshid=1ew8vbq1qx59h
