Charging Quartz Crystals.



a Quartz Crystal.
(Mountain Quartz, pl: 'Kryształ Górski').



Purpose.

Crystals are useful tools for working with energies, and - like a battery - can be charged and used to charge other things.

Crystals can also be charged with complete spells, and carried in a pocket until the conditions (defined in the process of spell preparation) make the spell 'fire' (start working). Smartphones with liquid crystal displays (LCD) can also store spells, but this can be tricky. Also - one should keep in mind that this practice (storing spells in crystals and/or smartphones) can be very dangerous. This use of crystals (to store spells) is worth another, full article.

Many things can be charged with energy - Sigils, TAROT cards, Other Symbols, Crystals, etc.

Charging a symbol connects the Symbol with One's Intent, and makes the Symbol to start working it's magick to fulfill the Intent.

Charged symbol (sigil or a tarot card for example) can be destroyed (by burning for example) to make it work for one purpose then cease - this helps magick to fade from consciousness to one's unconscious.


'First you must learn the craft of magick.
Then forget the craft and embody the art of living through Do'.

-- Quoted from 'Mage: the Ascension', it's Akashic Brotherhood's Motto.

Do means 'The Way', 'Way of Life' - it's popular idea in Martial Arts and in Buddhism.


The whole point of destroying it is because the objective is to implant it into the UNCONSCIOUS and remove it from the conscious mind. Destroying it is the first step in this. Like with many examples of other magick (or perhaps even in all magickal practices), you perform your working, give thanks that it's already done, then walk away and forget about it.

... or if we want magick of a symbol to work continuously, we don't destroy it but put in a proper place in one's apartment/home. We need to recharge symbol once a while (usually once in a month).

Charged quartz crystals can be put on a symbol (Sigil, TAROT card, etc...) to charge the symbol. Quartz crystals are like batteries and amplifiers that hold and release one's own energies.

(Quartz has a property called piezoelectricity, meaning it can generate its own power. That's why Crystal radios came to be, the quartz crystals functioned as a sort of battery to power the radio. Crystal is an amplifier).

Cleansing Energies in Quartz crystals.

Quartz Crystals can be buried in Rice or Salt (for 24 hours), to cleanse the Crystals from harmful energies.

Putting them in a Selenite bowl has similar effect (for more details - see below, in charging quartz crystals section of this article).


Charging a Quartz Crystals.

One can charge crystals (or anything else that needs to be charged) with one's own energies by sitting in a comfortable position (preferably on floor or on a cushion in a crosslegged position - like during meditation), holding crystal in fingers of both hands, then visualizing light entering body with breath and going to lower belly and then exhaling breath and visualizing the light/breath flowing from belly through one's body and through hands and fingers to the crystal. One should keep breathing to inhale and exhale the energies, for as long as one's intuition tells.

I've also read a mention in the Internet that a symbol can be charged by surrounding it with burning candles, or by putting it on a smartphone when it's connected to a battery charger.

As for Selenite bowls, i've learned that Selenite bowls both purify and charge quartz crystals. It's convenient to keep quartz crystals in a Selenite bowl when they are not in use - so they are ready to be picked up and used when one needs, without prior preparations. Less chores with purifying in salt/rice, less chores with charging.

(Selenite bowls should be kept away from water because the Selenite dissolves in water, and because it is made up of a gypsum compound, it’s toxic).
