Selene & Selenite.

Selene. Selene is name of the enchanting Greek Goddess of the Moon, who brings light to the darkness of the night. Daughter of Titans Hyperion and Theia, Selene illuminates our inner world and governs the rhythms of our lives. Selene and Artemis were also associated with Hecate and all three were regarded as moon and lunar goddesses, but only Selene was regarded as the personification of the Moon itself. Her equivalent in Roman religion and mythology is the goddess Luna. Selene was/is worshipped at the new and full moons, and played an important role in love magick.

Selenite.

Selene's name is forever linked with the powerful crystal Selenite, believed to hold her divine lunar energy.

(Well, in Buddhism we think that nothing lasts forever - except for Enlightenment, but this blog is about Witchcraft/Wicca & other Magick, and far less about Buddhism. I am not sure about Wiccan/Witchcraft's approach to eternity as well.)

This stunning, milky-white gemstone is known for its ability to cleanse, charge, and amplify the energy of other crystals.

It's convenient to keep quartz (or other) 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 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).


Selenite bowl.

I've got a selenite bowl for cleansing & charging crystals (quartz crystals for now).

It's size is 6 cm x 6 cm. (It's small, can hold only 3 crystals).
