Incense was my first true introduction to herbal cleansing, long before I entered the world of spirituality. The way it shifts the energy of any space to become more warm and energetically positive can be felt by everyone. This makes incense a great starting point for anyone wanting to get into the realm of witchcraft, spirituality, or any form of metaphysical healing, while also still used by long time practitioners. Although I will always love the classic stick incense and the visually pleasing flow of cone incense smoke, my current preferred method of incense cleansing has been the burning loose herb mixtures for its unique and intentional nature.
Loose incense is the perfect way to cleanse a space, perform ceremonial rituals, and bring in good energy, while being more intentional and creative than burning other forms of incense. This way you can use the properties of different herbs to bring in specific intentions and be more mindful of the aura you are seeking to create. Personally, I love loose incense for its versatility, allowing me to be more intuitive and in touch with both my mind and subconscious.
There are a variety of ways you can actually burn the loose herb mixtures, depending on the equipment you have. One of the most common ways to burn loose herbal blends is with charcoal, however I prefer using a tea light candle burner with a mesh top. Regardless of method, there are so many fun and insightful ways to perform this mini ritual.
We've JUST released our very own loose incense blends, made in shop, each with a different scent combination and intentional focus.
Look below for a how-to guide on setting up and performing a loose incense cleansing ceremony!

The intensity of Scorpio season, however, does not end with our sensual desires- this time of the year is all about digging into and exploring the deepest parts of ourselves. Scorpios are water signs, after all, and dealing with some of our most fervent emotions and thoughts is nearly a given. Don’t let this scare you too much, since the result of processing tough emotions will aid cycles of transformation and change. The true beauty of Scorpio season comes in the powerful drive, concentration, and stamina to work towards self-improvement and other personal endeavors.
Since the intense emotions of Scorpio season may be too much for some of the other zodiac signs, balancing your feelings is a necessity. Flower Agate is the perfect stones to bring in those soothing vibes and a sense of equilibrium. This stone is also very grounding, allowing you to feel centered and calm during the more high-heat moments of this time of year.
If you’re wanting to use this time of the year to explore or heal sexual aspects of yourself, Carnelian is a great stone to use. Carnelian targets the Sacral Chakra, which functions as our energetic pleasure center, to bring in healing energy to sexuality and sensuality. This crystal is also good for enhancing the focus and drive or Scorpio season.
In need of some change? Pick up some Clear Quartz to use that transformative energy brought on by Scorpio season in full force. This is the perfect stone for those who want to go headfirst into Scorpion energy for a deepened sense of empowerment and vitality. Additionally, Clear Quartz is good for preventing the mind from tunneling too much on one thing, as Scorpio season is prone to causing.
]]>Tourmaline is the birthstone for those born during Libra season for a reason- it is great at balancing and purifying surrounding energy. We are prone to unforeseen circumstances year-round, but when this energy sprouts up during Libra season, we may suffer to restabilize more than usual. Carrying and meditating with Black Tourmaline is a great way to combat this feeling and help us focus on the things we actually care about.
Because Libra season is focused on working with others and finding middle ground, we may end up with unnecessary people-pleasing tendencies that others can take to their advantage. Even though communication is usually improved this season, the resolutions to disputes may not necessarily par out in your favor if you aren’t speaking up for yourself. Ensuring that your true desires are laid out during any conversation is essential, so make sure to use Sodalite to bring in that needed Throat Chakra energy.
Sunstone is the perfect stone for promoting originality and self-expression. It works with our Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras to promote a better understanding of our sense of selves and boosts of energetic levels so we can pursue our passions. Sunstone also helps with emotional and mental balancing, especially between our more masculine and feminine energies.
Just like crystals, herbs have the ability to bring in specific intentions. Using them in a tea, bath mixture, spell jar, smoke mix, or other rituals can be a great way to bring in the herb's natural properties.
Damiana is great for promoting sensuality, and helps improve strifes in relationships and communication issues. This can help bring out those properties from Libra's energy so you can use them to your advantage.
Using the properties of Hibiscus is perfect for stimulating the Heart and Throat Chakra. This will bring a loving frequency, especially relating to self-love and appreciation. It also boosts communication and speaking up for yourself.

]]>The benefits of meditation are seemingly endless. This is because meditation altars your perception of pain and pleasure, which play a major part in physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments. Research suggests that practicing meditation long term reduces our pain and makes symptoms easier to deal with [2]. Additionally, daily meditation has been shown to strengthen our overall immune system functionality [3]. Other physical concerns such as circulation, cardiovascular health, problems, and flexibility can also be improved by regularly meditation. The best part – these improvements are here to stay! As long as you keep up with your mindfulness routines, you will continually see these improvements to your physical health.
Meditation has a huge impact on mental ailments as well. This includes emotional stability, mental health, and brain functionality. Meditation goes a long way for those who have trouble sleeping due to anxiety, insomnia, stress, and restlessness. This is because meditation allows us to be better equip for everyday life stresses through the day and calming our brains at night. These mindfulness practices change rising hormonal issues and inflammatory levels related to stress in order to soothe your mind [4]. By extension, reduced stress can alleviate symptoms of depression, issues with self-image, controlling our emotions, and much more. Besides stress reduction, meditation can also help us focus and enhance creativity, by improving our ability to concentrate [5].
Meditation can be facilitated in numerous ways. For beginners, a common method of meditation is ‘guided’ which means it is carried out by another person, or a guide. This can be done live during a class or a one-on-one session, or through a recording such as an app on video. Using a guide for your session is good for restless minds that are not yet use to slowing down, allowing you to embrace the benefits of meditation without feeling overwhelmed. However, the limitations of guided meditation, such as lack of control over the focus of your meditation, lack of silence, and difficulty remaining in a deep meditative state, are not worth the appeal to more novice meditators. When you are in complete control of your session, you are able to be more intuitive during the process, which aids mind/body/spirit connection and ensures you are focusing on areas that are most important to you. Additionally, it is good for people that don’t want to or are unable to use technology.
The actual process of meditation is quite simple. Since the goal is to focus your mind on a specific desire, goal, or state of mind, you must be in a quiet and comfortable space. You can either sit or lay down, with eyes closed, and ensure you are in a stable position. Once you are in a satisfying position, you can begin to attune your mind towards your goal. If you are being guided, make sure you have an appropriate amount of time allotted to this endeavor, typically 5-30 minutes, and follow along with the instructions. If you are leading yourself during this process, you can use specific methods such as focusing on your breathing patterns, repeating mantras in your head, or allowing your mind to go to a specific, calming area. Each method has its own set of benefits, for example mantra repetition can be good for those struggling with self-love, since you can focus your phrases on accepting yourself. Visualizing can be useful to anyone desires a specific desire, such as financial success, to better manifest these intentions. Once you’ve finished with meditating, it is good to reflect upon your session, especially regarding any realizations or progress you have made. Be sure to try out a variety of mindfulness techniques to get a better understanding of your mind’s desires and meditation in general.
Anyone interested in the practice of meditation, from beginners to expert to guides, should utilize the power of our human senses into their sessions. Life is experienced through the senses, and our brains can enter different, and deeper, states of mind when we use them. One of the most common ways this is done during meditation is through sound. Sound healing through singing bowls, chimes, tuning forks, and more can facilitate deeper meditative states for enhanced healing. Click here for an in-depth article on sound healing + information on our sound bath classes! Other methods of sound include repeating mantras out loud, listening to specific frequencies and of course, guided meditation.
Another common sense that is used to enhance meditation utilizes our sense of smell. Aromatherapy is a great way to further the healing benefits of mindfulness practices. This can be done by lighting incense or candles, using an essential oil diffuser, burning sage, and much more. Using fragrance has been proven to relieve symptoms of a variety of different physical and mental ailments, so incorporating scent in your practice can further specific healing goals. Click here to learn more about the power of aromatherapy and 8 different scents you can incorporate them into your sessions. Like scent, our sense of taste can stimulate our minds during meditation as well. Drinking tea or smoking inhalant-safe herbs are a great way to use this scent throughout your practice. Be sure to check out our Herb Page and Herbs 101 Article to figure out the best one for you.
Finally, the act of touch can lead to better and deeper meditative state of mind. You can use practically any physical object depending on your goal, but specific items such as crystals and spell jars are perfect for anyone wanting to utilize specific vibrations. From tumbled stones to palm stones to pointed towers, crystal types and shapes can be a game changer for any level of meditator. If you’re unsure what to get, check out or Crystal Color & Shape Basics to guide your choices. The act of touching, wearing, or simply keeping crystals close to you during meditation can be extremely beneficial for balancing your chakras. Whether under or overactive, attuning each chakra to its accurate frequency can heal mental and emotional wounds, and aid physical healing processes. Additionally, meditating with high frequency crystals can connect you to your spirit guides and help you reach a higher state of consciousness. These same benefits can also occur through holding Spell Jars, which carry with them focused energy using the power of crystals and herbs. Make sure to try out these methods to strengthen your meditative abilities.
]]>Using our olfactory system, aromatherapy is a form of holistic healing treatment that is used to promote physical, mental, and spiritual health. Fragrance materials such as essential oil are created through the extraction of plant materials, and therefore are considered a natural method of healing – which has been used throughout various cultures for centuries. Flower petals, leaves, twigs, and roots are just some arrays of natural material that can be extracted and distilled to create these oils.
Each plant has their own unique healing properties meant to fight against specific ailments. For example, eucalyptus can help against cough and lung problems, ease joint pain, and sooth the mind from stress and anxiety [3]. Aroma products can also treat asthma, inflammation, menstrual pain, and infection. Mentally, these oils can also relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and fatigue, and facilitate concentration, optimism, feelings of groundedness, and emotional balance. You can also use these herbal concentrates to heal and improve chakra imbalances (Click here to learn more about the chakras).
There are many ways to treat ailments through aromatherapy. It is mostly conducted through diffusing the oils, adding them into candles, soaps, and salts, or adding them into a spray. You can also put drops of herbal fragrance material into a topical aid such as a lotion or cream to utilize its healing properties. Each method has its own set of benefits – for example, using candles, incense, or oil diffusers can bring in your desire energy throughout your home, while body lotion and roller ball containers are perfect for when you’re on the go. Because our taste is so depended on smell, ingesting herbs in the form of a drink or smoked medicinally can also provide aromatherapy effects.

[6] Lemon has also been used to promote friendship, romance, and self-love.
Similar to lemon, orange is another citrus plant that serves as a mood booster and infection fighter.

Wolf: In the animal kingdom, wolves need a pack to thrive. Both us and wolves are social creatures and are wired to value connection with our own kind. Although turning inward is often essential for introspection and self-connection, we must also form and maintain relationships with others for self-betterment. Wolves can help us work as a team, bring in loyalty, and understand the value of providing and accepting aid from others.
Bear: Power but patient creatures, bears are representatives of strength and protection.

Turtle spirit guides follow us through our slower journeys and remind us of the importance of patience. For this reason, they are also good for soothing anxiety and tension.
Cat: In the same way cats understand the necessity of patience before pouncing on their prey, us humans need to wait and maintain self-control in various aspects of our lives.

]]>Sound healing is a term used to describe the process of energy restabilization. This form of healing uses pure tone vibration to rebalance the energetic vibrations of the body and mind. Whenever we become imbalanced energetically, ailments and illnesses will begin to manifest into the physical. Through sound healing, we can transmute the creation of illness into the creation of well-being. Receiving pure tone vibration induces deep relaxation, dopamine, and synchronizes healing frequencies throughout the entire being.
What are the benefits of sound healing?
Sound healing can treat a variety of physical and mental ailments. It relieves headaches and tensions, and has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Sound healing is perfect for improving overall pain management and the immune system. Additionally, it has been reported to reduce the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, and improve insomnia. These improvements provide revitalizing energy, which can give you a boost of confidence, focus, and optimism.
What are the methods of sound healing?
There are dozens of ways to induce the health benefits of sound – even listening to music has been shown to improve our physical and mental well-being. The most popular tools in the spiritual community include Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, chimes, gongs, and chanting. Any item that tunes into healing frequencies can provide the advantages of sound healing.
What is a sound bath?
Sound baths refer to the full body meditative experience that occurs during sound healing. The frequencies produced with sound healing tools are strong enough to be felt throughout your physical and spiritual body to enable healing throughout your entire life force. This is typically done by a sound healing practitioner while you focus on meditating. Often times, sound bath sessions use several frequencies at the same time in order to target multiple parts of the mind and body.
What are crystal singing bowls?
Crystal singing bowls hold the healing properties of both quartz and pure tone vibration. This means the energies coming from a crystal singing bowl carry higher vibrational energy than standard bowls made from other materials. Crystal quartz singing bowls are closely connected to earth, and more effective when it comes to transmitting healing frequencies to our bodies and minds.
How do crystal singing bowls work?
There are seven different bowls, and each one produces a specific pure tone that can connect to each major energetic center of our being (our chakras). Within our being, we carry an entire universe of energetic patterns that create the reality we experience. In this system of energy, there are seven main centers where vibration forms a pattern like a portal; sending and receiving energy that we create. Each bowl uses pure tones to harmonize the vibrations of these main energy centers to create a more balanced, conscious, experience of reality.
Everyone can benefit from the healing frequencies of sound healing! If you're interested in trying a meditative sound bath out for yourself, review our Sound Healing Class FAQ and sign up below!
Who hosts the class?
My name is Erik Luna Beaman, and I am a native of both the Zacatecas Tribe in Northern Mexico and the Western Shoshone Tribe of Death Valley, California. I have been on the path of healing for over ten years, guided by my ancestors and various Enlightened teachers I've met along the way. I carry on the tradition found in my lineage of breaking through toxic energetic patterns created from unhealed trauma of the past. I am devoted to practices that cultivate light, emotional balance, positive transformation, and deep compassion for the world around me. I am here to love.
What do you use to create healing sound?
For each session, I use tools that were created and energetically charged with the intent to heal. The first main channel used in creating a space for healing is my heart, then through these tools of expression; a Zapotec clay flute, cherry wood flute, Zacatec rain stick, and four hand-hammered brass Tibetan singing bowls. There are also seven different crystal quartz singing bowls, and each one produces a specific pure tone that can connect to each major energetic center of our being (our chakras).
Is there music played during class?
Medicine music from indigenous healers is played before and after each session to bless the space in light. Occasionally, during sound healing, binaural tones will be played at a low volume to induce a specific brain wave pattern that opens the heart and mind to receiving. Mantras and prayer are also used in each session as a form of direct connection with the divine to invoke healing.
How do the sound healing classes work in our shop?
Sound healing occurs twice a month, on Wednesdays at 6:45 pm. These one-hour sessions are hosted by me, with divinely chosen class themes and sound bath tools. Class themes range from connecting with higher realms, to grounding ourselves, to healing specific energy points.
How do I pay?
We take payment online, through the phone, or in person. Please note that payments must be made at least an hour ahead of time, as spots in the class are limited. Classes are currently $22 a person.
What do I need to know the day of the class?
Make sure to bring a yoga mat, and any other essential items, such as a pillow. On the day of the class, arrive around 15 minutes before the scheduled time. Once here, you can simply lay out your yoga mat anywhere on the floor wherever you feel most comfortable– don’t worry, the singing bowls can be heard throughout the entire room. Don’t forget to turn off your phone and prepare yourself for 45-60 minutes of meditation.

]]>Did you know that herbs have healing properties just like crystals? Most people use herb magick in the kitchen without even knowing it! Before modern medicine, herbs have historically been used to alleviate physical illness symptoms and everyday pains. We can expand our understanding of herbal medicine to apply to emotional, mental, and spiritual misalignments as well, and use them for holistic healing. They can be used to bring in certain desires or expel unneeded ones and align energy systems within your body.
There are a variety of different methods to determine the properties of herbs, including Ayurvedic medicine, which is considered one of the oldest and most popular [1]. Originating in India, Ayurvedic medicine practitioners believe that our connection to life energy forces indicate how healthy we are. The food and drinks we consume can vastly shift our physical health, which influences the mental and spiritual. This is similar to the chakras in our bodies, which are wheels of energy that can affect us if they are not properly aligned [2]. Therefore, using Ayurvedic dietary practices can aid your chakra alignment.
Ensuring that we maintain a balanced diet, utilizing herbs of different properties we can balance all other aspects of our lives. Although this does not treat diseases and illnesses, it can go far in preventing them from occurring. We can use this practice to better understand the various properties herbs have with a simple breakdown of ayurvedic properties, which relate to specific physical and mental attributes.
Ayurveda uses the human body’s response to the food and drinks that are consumed as the center of its practice [3]. This can refer to the way it tastes, smells, and digests before and after you consume it. These are believed to have direct effects on your physical body, which can in turn change other aspects of ourselves. Ayurveda has four distinct categories for food and drink consumption and its relationship with the body: Rasa, Virya, Vipaka, and Prabhava [4].
Rasa correlates with the taste of an item in terms of your senses. This can be sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, or astringent [5]. Many herbs have more than one of these properties, making each individual herb and food items with herbs a unique combination. Each taste is associated with different mental, physical, and emotional effects. Depending on which properties you most commonly consume in your food or drink items, you can aid or hinder your healing journey. For example, salty foods are good at stimulating digestion, which can increase your vitality. However, overconsumption may lead to excess thirst and discomfort from heat that ends up damaging your energy source [6].
After the initial taste and consumption of food or drink, your body will thermally react to that item, otherwise known as Virya in Ayurvedic medicine [7]. According to this practice, herbs can either be heating or cooling, which relates to other effects in the body and mind. While “hot” foods can help digestion and circulation, “cold” foods are good for inflammation and lowering body temperature [8]. This can affect our energy levels, emotional state, among other non-physical areas of our lives.
Once the food you consumed has been digested, it changes the overall intake of different types of foods within your system. Vipak refers to the long-term effects after the digestion state [8]. This is the stage that involves your overall dietary habits and the ways that over or under consumption may be affecting your health. Too much or too little absorption of a Rasa or Virya property overtime may result in a variety of different outcomes that last long past your digestion of the food [9]. This can cause certain physical ailments, such as oily skin from an overconsumption of salty food.
Although Ayurveda accounts for most properties within herbs, there are exception to the rules. Prabhava accounts for these anomalies, and the unique affects certain herbs possess beyond Rasa, Virya, and Vipak [10]. For example, cooking food with Ghee, even with differing properties, the effects of Ghee (cooling and sweet) will still be prominent [11]. Normally, they use of warming and nonsweet items would outweigh these properties, but Prabhava explains this exception.

Tomorrow, June 21st, is both the Summer Solstice and the first day of this year's Cancer Season. While Cancer's predecessor, Gemini, invites fun and airy energy during its time of the year, this upcoming season focuses on our emotions and serves as a time of reflection. Lasting from June 21st to July 22nd, Cancer season will be a gentle reminder to slow things down, relax, and take time for yourself. Belonging to the 4th house, this time of the year is also useful to center others, by dedicating quality time with them or strengthening these relationships in general.
In order to balance the more tumultuous emotions that may come up this month, Amethyst can serve as an emotional stabilizer in your life. The high frequencies of this stone will soothe your nerves and help you remain calm.
Since self reflection is common during Cancer season, emotional and mental healing will be essential. Moss Agate can help you during this healing journey, by opening you up to inner trauma and guiding you through the mending process.
While Moss Agate aids emotional blockages, Rose Quartz reminds you of the love you need to give to yourself and receive from others. Any emotional turmoil that you may be dealing with this season can be remedied by Rose Quartz providing you with strong, loving energy.
The season of the Crab is a time to spend with friends and family while we slow down and enjoy what's in front of us. Unakite reminds us of the importance of these relationships, while also promoting compromise and communication.
As we attempt to foster new relationships and bond with loved ones, maintaining clear communication with others is essential. It is equally important to understand our own desires and needs during this time. Lapis Lazuli is a great stone to give us both of these properties, so we can move smoothly with other all Cancer season.
Just like crystals, herbs have the ability to bring in specific intentions. Using them in a tea, bath mixture, spell jar, smoke mix, or other rituals can be a great way to bring in the herb's natural properties.
Lemongrass is a great herb for facilitating communication between you and your subconscious. This allows you to better understand yourself, and gives you the confidence to voice your needs to others.
When struggling with self-worth, Rosehip can enhance the love of the self. This herb is great for self-care by allowing you to better appreciate yourself and bringing in self-love.
In order to deepen feelings of relaxation during this month, Lavender is the perfect herb to use in your rituals, baths, and especially teas. Lavender will help soothe the nerves, help you sleep, and allow you to embrace slowing down.

]]>If you have an unresolved issue and wish to connect to higher energy sources for guidance, pendulums are the perfect tool for you! Made to answer yes and no questions, pendulums are a quick and easy divination resource that allows you to use your intuition to figure out the best option for you. When using the magick of pendulums, you can either access your subconscious or call upon spiritual guides and teachers to receive your answers. This powerful tool is also good for strengthening and working with your intuition overall.
How does pendulum magick work?
Like all divination practices, pendulums are meant to facilitate your connection to higher energy. This is done by cleansing, charging, and using the energy of the pendulums, surrounding space, and yourself. Once this is complete, all you need to do is hold the pendulum to your board and let the energy move it for you.
What do you need for pendulum magick?
In order to conduct this intuitive resource, you need a pendulum, which includes a pointed crystal attached to a chain, and a flat surface with a ‘yes’ and ‘no’ option. Typically, this is done with a pendulum board, which is made to provide a more accurate and precise reading. Pendulum boards usually have the “yes” answer being at the top and bottom of the board, whereas the “no” response are to the left and right. This means that the direction of the pendulum – either vertical or horizontal – will be the answer to your inquiry.
What type of pendulum should I use?
Pendulums come in a variety of different materials, shapes, and sizes, so use your intuition to aid your decision-making process. Most commonly, pendulums use crystals, as they can be charged and provide you better access to your intuition. You can also use your favorite type of crystal or one that relates to the question you plan on using it for, such as love, finances, and work life.
How do I cleanse and charge the pendulum?
Before utilizing a pendulum, you must cleanse the crystal you are using. This ensures that the pendulum is holding any energy that may disrupt the outcome of your process. You should cleanse the surrounding area where you plan to use the pendulum as well. This can be done by using crystal, smoke, light, or water cleansing.
What should I do before I begin?
First, start by having a question prepared to ask. It is beneficial to have multiple questions ready, depending on if you want more clarity for the answer you receive. This will help you obtain a better picture of the issue you are facing. Once you have these inquires lined out, you may lay out your yes/no board on a flat surface with enough space for the pendulum to swing. Hold onto the crystal attached to the chain and direct all your energy into calling upon your intuition, guides, or any higher energy source you want to seek clarification.
How do I ensure the pendulum is cleansing and charged?
Once you have charged the pendulum, it is important to connect the relationship between you, the pendulum, and the board. This is to confirm you are accurately attached to and using the energy of both you and the pendulum. You can do this by commanding the pendulum to swing towards yes or no. Since pendulums are using the frequencies within it to give you answers, you will not be physically moving the pendulum. Therefore, asking it to “show you yes” should result in the pendulum naturally swinging in the correct direction. You may also ask the pendulum questions you already know the answer to, such as a confirmation of your name, date, or location. If the pendulum is accurate, you know you are connected to it. If not, you can cleanse and charge until the answers are correct.
How do I begin?
Once all these steps are complete, you are ready to ask your questions! Conduct this in the same way you did in the warm-up, by asking direct yes or no questions. This can be done out loud or in your head, as long as you are focused on one question at a time. Make sure you are focusing your intention on using your energy to call upon guidance during this entire process. Once your pendulum has made a definitive answer, you can move on to the next question you have in mind. If you have several questions lined up, you can also write down the question and answer in order to remember the pendulum’s response.
How do I interpret the answers?
If you are using a standard pendulum board, a pendulum consistently swinging vertically is a yes, and a horizontal is a no. However, there are times when the pendulum swings diagonally or in circles. Many boards have included diagonal answers, such as maybe or unknown. In these cases, you can either rephrase the question and clarify what you meant. If the pendulum is consistently swinging diagonally, it may be a sign that recleaning and recharging is necessary. This sentiment is also useful for repeated circular movements occurring after asking questions.

]]>Symbolism
Just like in the real world, symbolism exists within each tarot deck to help us better understand the message behind the cards. We’ve already gone over two types of symbolism in tarot, numerology, and suits, which tell us the essence and overall focus of the pull.
In addition to numbers and suits, each card in a standard deck has unique imagery that aids our understanding of the nature of the card. There are many images depicted within a Waite Tarot Deck. Some common symbols include:
Beyond picture imagery, colors are a great source of symbolism used in tarot. Here are the basics:
Black – protection, grounding, negativity,
Red – safety, security, stability,
Orange – creativity, passion, and energy
Yellow – optimism, joy, vitality
Green – prosperity, balance, healing
Pink – love, compassion, femininity
Blue – calming, communication, trust
Purple – intuition, spirituality, divinity
White – rebirth, change, renewal
These colors can also be interpreted as being associated with our chakras. Our chakra article breaks down the chakra and color association, so be sure to check it out for more info.
Beyond numerology, elements, imagery, and colors, there are countless other ways to interpret tarot symbolism. You may use astrology, cultural or religious symbols, angel/life path numbers, and reversed card. It’s up to each individual reader to decide what is important for them to include in their reading of tarot.
]]>This blog post will discuss the Major and Minor Arcana, giving an introduction to each card and their basic meaning. This introduction of tarot cards, readings, and symbolism uses the classic Waite tarot decks (also known as Rider-Waite or Smith-Waite). Although there are a variety of tarot decks, many with overlapping ideas, Waite Decks are the most common and easy to interpret. However, this is an overall guide to any tarot deck, so feel free to use this for any type of tarot.
Minor Arcana
The minor arcana of a tarot deck is structured like a standard deck of playing cards. Each deck includes 4 different suits, each featuring 10 numbered cards and 3 court cards. Separate from a standard deck of playing cards, each suit focuses on a different aspect of human life, which is utilized when reading each card. When revealed during a reading, these cards will highlight your current situation. Each suit has a different overall theme and element, giving them a unique meaning.
Pentacles represent everyday concerns in the material world. These cards often focus on money, our careers, and family. Cards in this suit help us determine how to manifest and create change in our lives. It represents the element of Earth.
The swords suit is concerned with balancing the conflicts of the mind. Our deeper emotions, losses, and hardships are represented in this suit. It also deals with the communication we have with ourselves and others, represented by the element of air.
Since cups represent the water element, it primarily deals with our emotions. This can help us verify or better understand our true feelings, especially concerning love interests, creative pursuits, and personal matters.
The suit of wands focuses on movement and energy. This provides insight into growth, new beginnings, ideas, and our purpose. Associated with the element of fire and masculine energy, this suit symbolizes passion, sexuality, and inspiration.
Numerology
Numerology is an essential aspect to understanding the minor arcana cards of tarot. From the Ace card until the King, there is a story-like path each suit follows, with a certain aspect focused on per number.
Ace – first steps, leading beginnings, new perspectives, passion
2 – balance, partnership, realizing plans, hesitation
3 – progress, foundation, growth, exploration
4 – stability, form, stagnation, change
5 – new challenges, setback, instability, competition
6 – abundance, finding solutions, movement, guidance
7 – patience, responsibility, energetic flow, subconscious
8 – progress, action, manifestation, skill
9 – strength, near completion, fruition
10 – fulfillment, full circle, endings, realization
Followed by the ten numbered cards are court cards meant to continue the patterns of the prior deck. However, these cards are more focused on their element and the transforming maturity of the suit’s characteristics.
Page

Impulsivity and energy of early adulthood, either moving in stride or taking precaution
Wisdom through experience, intuition through emotions, caregiving, protection
Control, leadership, holding power, leading through action, rule setting
Major Arcana
The major arcana of tarot focuses on the big picture. While minor arcana concerns day-to-day activities, these cards represent lifelong themes such as karmic influences, reoccurring people or situations, or life journeys, providing an overall guidance to these issues.

Next in the cycle is the Waxing Crescent, which is often used for setting and starting new goals by providing greater amounts of vitality and focus.

You can use this water in many ways: crystal cleansing and charging bath rituals, spell work, lucid dreaming, making tea, and more.
If you are unfamiliar with the fae, you may recall standard folklore and tales about fairies, little creatures that fly around and live in the forest. The concept of fairies exists in numerous cultures and regions of the world, each one having unique characteristics and stories attached. Our modern understanding of the mythical “fairy” is actually rooted in truth! The fae are otherworldly creatures that occasionally pay a visit to our realm of existence.
While even our current understanding of faeries is limited, there are a great number of things we do know, including gifts they enjoy and some things they can do for us. We also know that each region has different kinds of faeries, which aligns with different types of fae folk being seen throughout the world.
It is possible to develop relationships with faeries despite our separate moral understandings and cultures, along with the unpredictable nature of these creatures. However, it is important to note that each faery is different, so be sure to do detailed research on the specific actions they take if you decide to work with one to ensure mutual respect is staying consistent.

Three incense sticks to help you cleanse you, your crystals, your home, and anything else needed renewed energy.
Three different types of herbs – Rose Petals, Yarrow, & St. John's Wort – known to attract faeries and can serve as offerings to them.

These crystals are considered “gifts” to the fae, and this will help you build your relationship with them and encourage them to return the favor. Don’t be surprised if these pieces go missing.
Gold Flakes serve a similar purpose as the crystals; a gift offering to build your connection to these creatures.
Ideas:
You can place the items included near windows, outside door entryways, in your garden, or on your patio. Faeries love having spaces special for them, so creating an altar like space on a flat, high surface with comfy items like soft cloth will help attract these magical beings. Placing the crystals and gold flakes will make them feel more welcomed and appreciated.

When you are done with your bath, you may rewind with other self-care acts such as face masks or napping.
Calling on sirens/mermaids – As powerful creatures, mermaids use the power of the ocean and moon to as an energy sources for their outer worldly abilities. Forming a connection with these sea creatures can help us with protection, transformation, personal power, and much more.

NOTE: *Do not consume*

Selecting Your Crystals
Choosing crystals for your grid can be done in several ways, but it is best to decide on your intention and consider which ones best suit this desire. Grids typically include a center stone and surrounding activation crystals. The center, or focus stone, is the representation of your intention, while the remaining stones are amplifiers of your center crystal’s energy. The outer crystals will also be following a consistent pattern surrounding your centerpiece depending on the grid you’ve decided on, and you can use any number of different crystals to fulfill the pattern. Each placement in the outer rings have a different usage. Way stones are the first ring outside the center, and usually serve to amplify and guide the center stone. The crystals at the end of the grid are known as desire stones. Aptly named, these stones represent the end goal you wish to receive with your desire. Many grids also include amplification stones, typically being pointed stones that enhance the energy overall and further the connection between all the stones.
With the Rose Quartz heart as the centerpiece, this grid centers our heart chakra and the desire for self-acceptance. Pointing at the Rose Quartz anchor stone, the Clear Quartz points serve to amplify the energy of the center and help connect the energy of the remaining stones. In between the Clear Quartz are Rhodochrosite crystals, which is a stone used to stimulate both self-worth and passion. It also helps connect us to higher consciousness, enabling us to aid any heart chakra blockages. Finally, the outermost Pink Calcite gems provide a nurturing and healing vibration to the heart chakra, allowing us to heal from any emotional trauma, heartbreak, etc.
As the grid’s anchor, Goldstone is incredibly energizing and stimulating. Along with its ability to bring in a sense of optimism, this crystal is great for motivating us to pursue our creative endeavors. Similar, the next ring of Blue Apatite crystals provide clarity and enhances personal power. This allows us to better achieve overall goals. The altering pattern of Bronzite and Carnelian are meant to bounce off each other in this grid example. Carnelian is perfect for stimulating us through heightened energy and creativity. On the other hand, Bronzite is more stabilizing and helps us focus. Bringing in the dual energies allows us to center our attention on a project while also giving us a refreshed source of vitality. Finally, Crazy Lace Agate improves our ability to be authentic, healing any aspects that are deterring us from creating something from our hearts. It is also great for overall creativity and amplification of other energies.
Sitting in the center of this grid, the Blue Tiger’s Eye is representative of focus, power, and openness. It brings in a calming frequency that allows us to freely communicate our desires and feelings to those around us. The sphere shape of the crystal showers the surrounding crystals and space with this vibrational frequency, amplifying the grid overall. Lapis Lazuli surrounds our centerpiece, which encourages us to arrive at inner truths and connects us to our true feelings. Behind these gems are pieces of Aventurine, meant to provide decisiveness and the ability to speak our truths without fear of judgement. This property is like the outer ring of Citrine pieces as well, however the Citrine pieces also improve the amount of success in communication. Finally, the Kyanite pieces point towards most of the other crystals, serving both to amplify and charge their properties, while also being the desire stones that focus the intention on improved communication overall.
Pyrite is the perfect stone for bringing in luck, prosperity, and abundance. It is also great for shielding off negative energy, allowing good luck to continue in all aspects of your life. Clear Quartz points surround this stone, amplifying and charging this sentiment. Like Pyrite, both Citrine and Aventurine enhance prosperity. Citrine also strengthens the endurance of both you and the crystals within the grid, while Aventurine provides us with the ability to motivate and go forward with our goals. Improving our confidence and courage, the Yellow Tiger’s Eye stones at the end of the grid aim to inspire us to make the efforts to gain the wealth, fortune, and growth we are hoping to bring in with this grid.
If you are unfamiliar with our internal chakra system, check out our blog post for an introduction to the seven main chakras. Our chakra balancing grid includes crystals correlated to each chakra, starting with the Smokey Quartz for our Root Chakra and Amethyst for the Crown Chakra. Additionally, the Clear Quartz pieces surrounding the line of chakra crystals enhance their healing frequency overall. Although this is the most basic of our grid examples, it is packed with energies that bring in the ability to improve any emotional, physical, and spiritual blockages or overactivity within our lives.
Cleansing, Creating, and Activating
After making your decisions on grid patterns and stones and having found a location to create your crystal grid, it is essential that you clean your space and the crystals you plan on using. This can be done through smoke cleansing like sage or cleansing crystals like selenite. Once this is complete, you are ready to set up your grid!
Allow your intuition to continue to guide you during this process. The patterns within the grid are important to utilize, but remember that you understand your own needs and desires the most, and allowing those feelings to guide you will make the biggest difference in your healing journey. You may also add outside items, such as herbs, flowers, written intentions, items with personal sentiment, or anything else you feel represents your goals.
Once everything is laid out in front of you, visually focus on your intention, you may state it out loud, create a mantra, or recite your desires that you have written down. Use this time to meditate on these goals and align yourself with the frequencies within the grid. Envision the connecting between the crystals and yourself, picturing how you will manifest with these combined frequencies. You may also pray to any divine energy you align with, calling on their power to aid you with your goals. Once you intuitively feel completed with this manifesting, take time to appreciate both yourself and the universal energy source you are connected to.
]]>Sacred Geometry
Sacred Geometry displays itself throughout the entire universe. It exists naturally, all over Mother Earth and beyond. These unique patterns use mathematical ratios, such as the spirals seen in nautilus shells, corresponding with logarithmic growth. Each unique pattern serves a different archetypal purpose, like every crystal having specific healing properties. These patterns have been studied by many cultures throughout history, allowing us the opportunity to use their ancient wisdom for our lives today.
Selecting Your Grid
By applying crystal energy to sacred geometry patterns, we can utilize the properties of each mathematical form to amplify, direct, and centralize the frequencies towards our goals and desires. Crystal abilities shift depending on shape, color, size, and type, so utilizing each of these attributes will increase your ability to enhance the energy you want.
Although there are recommendations for certain geometric patterns and crystals, there are no strict rules of crystal gridding - the most important aspect of energetic healing is using your intuition. This is because our connection with universal energy is our number one guide for directing us towards our paths. However, if you are new to the world of crystals and sacred geometry or want a quick sample of crystal grid types, look below of some ideas:
Tune in to part two, where we discuss the process of selecting crystals for your grid, placement, and how to cleanse!

Anyone familiar with the law of attraction will understand the ways that we can change the course of a certain circumstance through focused intent. All spell work uses this kind of energy channeling to cultivate a specific outcome or event that allows your manifestation to come true. Using this divination routine can allow you to obtain any material, spiritual, or emotional feat you want!
There are many ways you can create spells. For this article, we will be focusing on creating spell jars using the items in our pre-made spell jar kit from our shop! Each of our six spell jar kits focus on a different intent – Self-Love, Anti-Anxiety, Intuition & Dreams, Protection, Abundance, or Motivate & Create. These kits include the following items:
1 Bottle
1 Incense Stick
1 Chime Candle
2 Types of Crystal Chips
4 Types of Herbs
1 Pendant with String
Spell jars are meant to contain items that represent your intentions. Therefore, using items such as crystals and herbs that contain the vibrational or natural energy of your desires only strengthens your spell magick. For example, Rose Quartz encourages self-love while Lavender is used as a relaxation devise. Additionally, symbolic pieces such as the charm included in each kit represent and intensify the will of your spell. Spells should also be completely sealed, to ensure your directed energy stays inside the contents of your bottle. Using candle wax will serve to physically and metaphorically seal your spell bottle.
Since spell making requires using your energy to manifest your desires, it is essential to use your intuition to guide you through the entire process. If this means excluding certain crystals and herbs, adding your own, or using other representative pieces during your creation, feel free to do so. These instructions do not need to be followed perfectly, but simply serves as guidance for your directional energy usage.
Step 1) Cleanse Your Space
Before preforming any type of magickal ritual, it is essential to have a space clear of negative and unwanted energy. Make sure to cleanse not only your surroundings, by your aura and any tool you will be using during this process. Each kit includes a piece of incense that will not only cleanse your space, but also provide vibrational energy that aligns with your intentions. However, if you do not want to use the provided cleanser, you may also use cleansing crystals like selenite, and clear quartz, or other types of smoke cleansing like sage and palo santo, for example.
Step 2) Add to Your Bottle
Once your space is cleansed, you are ready to begin! Using your intuition, add the crystals and herbs into the bottle. You can fill in the bottle to any amount, and you are not required to use all the provided contents; get creative and make sure to feel out what amounts seem right to you.
During the process, ensure that you are focusing your energy on your aspirations. You may chant a mantra in your head or out loud, or visualize your desired outcome while preforming your spell.
Step 3) Binding Your Spell
Both the pendant wrapping, and the chime candle are ways you can seal off your bottle. Typically, you wrap and tie the pendant around the bottle first, as it serves as both a symbol and a sealant to spell casting. However, it is up to you which order you’d like to do this step.
Once it’s time you use the chime candle, make sure you use a surface safe for wax to drip from. In your safe location, light the candle's wick at a 75° angle over the top of the bottle. Allow the wax to drip completely over the bottle’s cork until it is completely sealed. During this time, you should still be directing your energy to your intention.
Once you’ve finished sealing your bottle, give time for the wax to completely dry, and your spell is finished! You may place the jar anywhere you’d like, although it is recommended to keep it in a location that goes with your manifested goal. For instance, Self-Love Jars can go in your beauty/self-care space, Motivate & Create Jars can be placed on your work desk, while Protection Jars can be moved near an entryway. This way, you can be reminded of your aspirations and motivate you to achieve them. However, it is up to you where you want to keep these – in your home, workplace, carried with you, or given to a loved one.
If you want to create a spell bottle but want a different intention than our kits provide, or want a larger variety of herbs and crystals, our shop can still give you what you need. Shop our herbs section for common items such as Lavender, Hibiscus Flower, or Rose Petals, and more. Our tumbled stoned are also perfect for larger spell jar creations. Use our chakra and color listings on our website to easily find the crystals you need. Good Luck & Happy Casting!

…your understanding of self and others, how you relate to the world around you, and much more. Although you have a total of 12 signs, your sun sign defines a large part of you, especially your overall energy, personality, and ego. The sun sign is based off the time of year you are born, and each sign corresponds to a certain element and modality that gives each sign its unique characteristics. Look below for each sign, their traits, and crystal recommendations!
Because of their fiery and passionate nature, Aries placements benefit from crystals that can either help them remain calm during times of stress and distraction or crystals that bring out their confident and vibrant energy.
Taurus placements crave stability and are often seen as the most grounded sign. For this reason, Taurus placements can benefit greatly from crystals that help them through transitions, dealing with their emotions, and crystals with calming vibrations.
Geminis function best when their bright and sociable personality shines through. Boosting positivity, courageousness, and wittiness will allow Geminis to flourish in their environment. Since there are many facets of every Gemini, grounding and neutralizing stones will also be loved by this sign.
Since Cancer placements are highly in touch with their emotions, many of them need reassurance and optimistic reinforcement. In addition to allowing their emotional intelligence to thrive, intuition and confidence boosting crystals are great for this sign.
When Leo placements feel secure, they are natural centers of attention, and their confidence and passion is felt by anyone around them. However, they require self-reassurance, motivation, and uplifting energy to shine through.
Naturally practical and analytical, Virgos may struggle with connecting with their spiritual side, and would benefit from higher chakra crystals that aid other worldly thinking. Additionally, crystals that will help with goal manifestation are great for any Virgo.
Craving consistency and balance, grounding crystals are great for Libras. Additionally, this sign loves aesthetics and self-expression, and therefore gain from crystals that let the artistic side of them shine.
Scorpios have great bravery and natural charisma, being a naturally powerful zodiac sign. Crystals that allow this sign to bring out these characteristics, matched with more calming stones, provides the perfect balance for any Scorpio.
Always craving freedom, any Sagittarius would love crystals that allow them to express themselves and promote their passions. This sign also needs some grounding in order to turn their natural energy force to ensure their goals and desires to come into fruition.
Capricorns know their worth and can achieve anything they set their minds too. Any crystal that allows them to focus and maintain their drive are perfect for this sign. This sign has a strong desire for routine, and may be upset when plans go awry. For this reason, calming crystals are good for Capricorns.
Since Aquarius signs crave independence and standing, they benefit from gems that let them stand up for themselves. Additionally, the constant change that Aquarius put themselves through may make them prone to distress and anxiety, which can be combatted with soothing crystals.
Prone to isolating themselves when they feel vulnerable, vitalizing stones are extremely useful to those with the sign of Pisces. This will help them speak their truth and bring in needed confidence. Crystals for emotional stability are also good for Pisces.
At an affordable price, these kits are the perfect purchase for yourself and loved ones alike. Each bag comes with a tag detailing the contents and the meaning of each crystal inside. Additionally, we have included a selenite stick in every bag, which will cleanse the energy from the crystals that you order.

]]>Aligning our chakras is a vital step in our spiritual healing journey. Chakras are energetic vortexes located throughout our bodies. When correctly aligned, the chakras are linked and allow us to connect deeper with ourselves and our body, mind, and spirit to work harmoniously together. We have seven main chakras starting at the base of our spine and ending at the top of our head. Every chakra deals with a different issue and requires separate methods of rebalancing.
This post will go over Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown. Click here to read Part 1 which covers Root, Sacral, and Solar.
Our Heart Chakras are located in the center region of our chests. In the center of all other chakras, this spiral serves as the bridge between the physical world represented by the lower chakras and the upper spiritual world that the higher chakras occupy. This chakra represents inner peace, empathy, acceptance, and love. When this chakra is well aligned, your emotional maturity will allow you to have healthy relationships with yourself and others. When this chakra is underactive, you may struggle opening up to others, becoming withdrawn and judgmental. An overactive Heart Chakra will leave you feeling codependent, therefore lacking boundaries, and losing your personal identity.
Balancing Recommendations: Volunteering, inner child work, and taking time to yourself outdoors
As the name suggests, the Throat Chakra occupies our throats, and is the first of three chakras that deal with the spiritual world. The chakra focuses on our ability to communicate and express ourselves. With a balanced Throat Chakra, we will be able to speak our inner truths without the fear of judgment or need of approval from others. This will allow us to be more authentic and creative. With an under active Throat Chakra, you may experience social anxiety, insecurities, and constantly feel misunderstood. On the other hand, when this center is overactive, you may be prone to gossip, being overly argumentative and aggressive during conversations.
Balancing Recommendations: Journaling, drinking tea, humming/singing aloud
Giving us the ability to see inner and outer truths, the Third Eye Chakra exists in the middle of our two eyes. This chakra gives us clarity, heightened intuition, and self-reflection This center is tied to clairvoyance, since it opens us up to the spiritual realm and psychic abilities. It also leads us to enhanced inner wisdom and gives us a better understanding of ourselves and others. When the Third Eye Chakra is underactive you may lack imagination and perception and are prone to memory loss. An underactive Third Eye Chakra may leave you feeling disorientated and easily overwhelmed with a tendency to excessively daydream.
Balancing Recommendations: Spending time in the sun, meditating, and getting enough sleep.
The highest chakra in our system, the Crown Chakra, is located at the top of our heads and is the forefront of our spiritual enlightenment. This chakra serves as our gateway into the spiritual world, where we can access spiritual guidance, universal consciousness, and unity. It is the purest chakra and allows us the embrace every part of our existence. An overactive Crown Chakra may manifest in a disconnection to your body or the Earth, difficulty sleeping, and self-destructive tendencies due to being energetically overwhelmed. When it is underactive, you may experience chronic confusion, oversleeping, and a lack of faith in yourself and the universe.
Balancing Recommendations: Energy work, mediation, listening to spiritual guidance
Chakras are linked and allow us to connect deeper with ourselves and our body, mind, and spirit to work harmoniously together. Learn about the seven main chakras starting at the base of our spine and ending at the top of our head.

Chakras are energetic vortexes located throughout our bodies. When correctly aligned, the chakras are linked and allow us to connect deeper with ourselves and our body, mind, and spirit to work harmoniously together. We have seven main chakras starting at the base of our spine and ending at the top of our head. Every chakra deals with a different issue and requires separate methods of rebalancing.
This two-part blog post will walk you through all 7 Chakras. Today we’ll focus on Root, Sacral and Solar and stay tuned for part 2 to go over Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown.
Located at the base of our spine, the root chakra is the lowest and first chakra in our system.
It serves as the foundation of our body’s energy system and provides a sense of security, allowing us to be grounded and stable in our outer world. Our means of survival- food, water, and other necessities are tied to this chakra. When we are unable to feel grounded and safe, our root chakra may become misaligned. An overactive root chakra results in a lack of energy, sense of belonging, and pessimistic thinking. Those who suffer from an overactive Root Chakra may be impatient and easily angry. It also leads to an obsession with money and material goods and other forms of greed.
Balancing Recommendations: Physical activity, eating nutritious foods, performing relaxation techniques
The second lowest chakra in our bodies is known as the Sacral Chakra and is responsible for pleasure and sensuality. An aligned Sacral Chakra will provide us with heightened creativity, sociability, and joy. Because it is related to the element of water, balancing this energy center will also help with flexibility as well as dealing with our emotions. A balanced Sacral Chakra will allow you to healthily feel your deepest emotions and better connect with ourselves at others.
When this chakra is blocked, you may experience a lowered libido, difficulty expressing emotions, an inability to understand personal boundaries and needs, and a predisposition towards addiction. An overactive Sacral Chakra may result in obsessive behavior, tendency towards escapism, and over emotional reactions.
Balancing Recommendations: Bathing/swimming, Spending time with yourself, pursuing creative endeavors
The Solar Plexus Chakra is in the naval region of our bodies and is associated with personal power and self-confidence. It raises our mental abilities such as decision making and clarity. In addition, a balanced Solar Plexus Chakra promotes self-expression, allowing us to feel more independent and confident. This will help you take control of your own life.
Those with an under-active Solar Plexus will struggle with poor self-esteem and lowered confidence. They will often lack a sense of purpose, leaving them feeling needy or helpless. This creates constant searching for approval. When this chakra is overactive, many may engage in control or even manipulative behavior. They will be highly critical of others and react aggressively to opposition.
Balancing recommendations: Working out, sunbathing, exploring new hobbies
