Amethyst is great from calming yourself. Keep it near you or next to you to promote calmness, Also keeping it under/in your pillow and it will ward off bad dreams and nightmares.
Amethyst is said to lose it's color when the holder/wearer is Ill. It will turn a slightly paler purple than it is, if you don't have an eye for colors you might not notice, as sometimes the color change isn't very drastic.
Amethyst is said to help the healing of internal organs and illnesses. When feeling a little sad, a little amethyst will keep you came and controlled.
All in all it is a very spiritual stone and is a must have for ,e anyway, because it will also help to keep divination tools cleansed and powered. It will also help you to give more insightful readings.
Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem, and Metal Magic is an excellent source for beginners interested in stone magick. I found it too basic for my own use, but it was a fun read with a few interesting history lessons. It's very well written.
Yep. I definately second that. Also, in Idres Shah's book The Secret Lore of Magic, there is a really interesting section on crystals showing traditionally, what they were used for in folk magic.
All crystals radiate and manipulate energy. Strangly mainly to do with their colours. Clear quartz is the best crystal to work with becuase it harnnesess any energy and can be used for any purpose. Working with crystals can seem to be a challenging task when in fact crystals will harnness and radiate energy with or without you wanting them too. The best thing to do with your amythist and quartz would be to cleanse them of any hanging energies that they may have already absorbed. washing them in sea water ( or just salt water) i find is very effective. After that, give them a purpose, the best way i find is by setting a purpose on them, enchanting them with a few simple words which will send energy into them. all you have to do there off is to make sure others do not handle them, becuase their energy may leak onto the crystal and in a word contaminate its purpose.
