When choosing and wearing your protection jewelry, it should be done with specific intentions in mind. There are certain procedures you may wish to follow and actions to take before wearing protection jewelry. Here are some of my best tips on cleansing protective crystal and gemstone jewelry.

Why Cleanse and Infuse Your Crystals and Gemstones Before Use

Before ever using or wearing your crystals and gemstones, it is important to cleanse them. This will take away any negative or unwanted energies that have touched the crystals or gemstones at any point. This also goes for your entire piece of jewelry. Objects can all take on energies from everyplace they’ve been. So, it’s a must that you cleanse your crystal and gemstone jewelry as soon as you receive it, as well as periodically to keep them at their best. Cleansing can also strengthen your crystals and gemstones and help them ward off more negative energy as you wear them. There are many methods for cleansing these pieces. Here are some of the simplest and most common methods I’ve used or seen in practice.

Cleanse Protection Jewelry with Sage Smudging

For this method, simply light the tip of one bunch of sage leaves inside a ceramic bowl and allow the smoke to surround your crystals and gemstones. This is called smudging. Try finding a place to do this where it’s well-ventilated and where the crystals or gemstones can be suspended above the dish enough to not be touched by the fire. This will remove all prior energies and refresh them for use. Some like to also include a meditation, prayer, chant, intent, or spell recited while the sage is burning to infuse the crystals and gemstones with a specific intent or usage.

Using Water to Cleanse Your Gemstone and Crystal Protection Jewelry

There are many methods for cleansing crystals using water. However, this can destroy certain crystals and gemstones. So, I generally don’t recommend this unless you know that the crystal you’re using can withstand it. Water is a natural cleanser, so if you use this method, simply place the crystals in water and gently rub them. Again, only do this with those you know are safe to place in water.

White Light Cleansing for Crystals and Gemstones in Protection Jewelry

If you are able to create white light, this is one of the best methods to cleanse crystals. It is also my personal favorite. It is very similar to prayer. To create white light, simply close your eyes and request of the universe (or whom you believe to be the creator) to create white light. Then, envision this light filling your entire body. Keep this energy with you and open your eyes, sweeping your hands in the proper direction to guide the white light toward the object that needs cleansing - in this case, your gemstone and crystal jewelry. As you do this, ask the universe (or your creator) to transform any negative energies within the gemstone and crystal jewelry into positive energy.  

Moonlight Cleansing for Protection Crystals and Gemstones

Using the energies from the full moon is my other favorite method for cleansing crystals and gemstones. All of mine get cleansed under a full moon before ever using them to create protection jewelry for myself or for the Intent-sive Nature shop. To do this, simply place the crystals, gemstones, or wearables on a flat container, such as a ceramic altar (which can also be charged and cleansed by the moon). Put them outside where the moonlight will shine directly on them. Leave them under the moonlight as long as possible. This can be done under any moon cycle, but the full moon is the strongest. Moonlight can both charge and cleanse the crystals and gemstones at the same time. This means it helps make them stronger, restores their original powers, as well as strips them of negative energies.

Choosing and wearing rose quartz crystal jewelry for color meanings relies on intent. Every color has traditional meanings, but also may hold special meanings to the wearer. Below are traditional meanings and reasons some may choose to wear rose quartz crystals for healing, protection, and other purposes.

Crystal color meanings are derived from a variety of cultures and religions, including Christian, Pagan, Native American tribes, various cultures from India, and many other cultures and religions from all over the word, including non-religious people.

One thing that stands out in research over the years is that healing crystal color meanings tend to be the same or similar, regardless of country, culture, or religion. This makes sense since these crystals are a naturally occurring substance and therefore derive their energies and properties from nature.

These crystals can also be used in wearable money or abundance satchels and spells. Light green crystals hold the same meanings as the traditional or darker green colors. However, the lighter greens are also commonly used to aid in productivity, leading to success. These lighter green crystal shades are also used to help in healing from sicknesses.

Purple Rose Quartz Crystals for Healing Purposes

Choosing and wearing purple healing crystals is often associated with royalty. Purple rose quartz healing crystals are also used magic, psychic energy, and being intuitive. Many wear them when they need insight into a specific situation, in which they cannot find the answer themselves. They are also used to strengthen other crystals because of the magic energy. These can also help to soothe nightmares.

Indigo and Other Blue Rose Quartz Healing Crystals

Indigo crystal color meanings generally revolve around protection, while other blue tones can symbolize calmness. Indigo crystals are good to wear for both physical and spiritual wealth. Lighter blues, as well as traditional blue are often used to create a soothing environment and help avoid stress.

Silver Rose Quartz Crystal Meanings

Silver rose quartz crystals are often worn in healing jewelry when  person is seeking inner purpose. These have also been used when looking for truth, as well as in night magic. Silver crystals can be worn at all times. However, silver quartz is a good crystal to wear during night time activities, since it is even stronger during this time.

Orange Aura Rose Quartz Crystal Usage in Jewelry

Wear orange aura rose quartz crystals when seeking something from within. These crystals are most often used for renewal, inner energy, whole body psychic cleansing, insight, meditation, psychic guidance, spiritual guidance and awakening, as well as intuition. This is a good crystal to wear in daily jewelry when seeking solutions and answers.

Using Rainbow Rose Quartz Crystals for Wearable Healing

Oftentimes, those who have lost hope or just need more faith toward a specific outcome will choose rainbow quartz crystal jewelry. The rainbow rose quartz can not only aid in that area but is also good for balance as well as emotional and psychic healing. Wear rainbow quartz to keep faith and hope in mind all the time.

If you draw the Temperance card in the Universal Waite Tarot deck, what does it mean? Is this a good card to draw? What lessons can you learn from this tarot card reading?

DECK: Universal Waite Tarot Deck
CARD: Temperance
POSITION: Upright

This is a card of patience and inner reflection. Drawing this card in the upright position means you are doing some reorganization of your life and business.

In doing so, you have started to find a balance between finances and family. If you haven't found this peace and balance yet, rest assured, it is coming. This is giving you an inner peace, which is sometimes unfamiliar.

Try not to worry too much, as the deep reflection and finding a balance between the old you and the new you can often be scary. You may want to question things, especially if they seem too good.

However, drawing  the Temperance card says to trust in what you are doing, as you are on the right path.

If you draw The Oyster card in The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit  deck, what does it mean? Is this a good card to draw? What lessons can you learn from this spirit animal card reading?

DECK: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck
CARD: The Oyster
ELEMENT: Water

SYMBOLIZES: Patience, Secrets, Hidden Inner Treasures

The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit card deck can be used as daily inspiration, to answer life questions, and even in the same way as you would use a tarot or oracle deck. As with any deck meant for readings and guidance, your intuition, as well as reflection on what the cards could mean will serve you well in discovering what they mean for you. However, this reading interpretation (based upon the guidebook included with the cards, as well as my own intuitive interpretations) can help you learn more about some possible meanings.

What Does it Mean When You Draw The Oyster in the Animal Spirit Deck?

Being of the water element, the oyster flows with the tides and can accomplish anything. Therefore, if you draw the oyster card in an animal spirit deck, you are a very determined and focused individual. Whatever an oyster puts their mind to is achieved in full and with grace and charm.

However, the oyster's go-with-the-flow and humble mentality can also mean that many gifts are taken for granted. The oyster may often become withdrawn and protective, shying from everyone and keeping their inner gifts concealed from the world.

Drawing the oyster card means that you may be hiding treasures within that the world would marvel to see. This is a time for sharing your gifts or secrets. Shine bright for everyone to see who you truly are. Only then, will you achieve all of your desires.

When the oyster is in balance, they feel blessed, generous, and masterful. This means success is occurring or right around the corner.

When the oyster is out of balance, they can be reluctant, withdrawn, and may clam up.

In order to achieve balance, the oyster must share something for all the world (or at least the world around them) to see.

If you draw The Cheetah card in The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit  deck, what does it mean? Is this a good card to draw? What lessons can you learn from this spirit animal card reading?

DECK: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck
CARD: The Cheetah
ELEMENT: Fire

SYMBOLIZES: Solar Force, Action, Achievement, Masculine Energy

The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit card deck can be used as daily inspiration, to answer life questions, and even in the same way as you would use a tarot or oracle deck. As with any deck meant for readings and guidance, your intuition, as well as reflection on what the cards could mean will serve you well in discovering what they mean for you. However, this reading interpretation (based upon the guidebook included with the cards, as well as my own intuitive interpretations) can help you learn more about some possible meanings.

What Does it Mean When You Draw The Cheetah in the Animal Spirit Deck?

Being of the fire element, the cheetah has great sun force and is a very powerful being. For the cheetah, the sun's rays come from within to power the outside world. If you drew this card, you have the power to shine on the universe and help create a force of happiness. You can achieve great things. Fire animals represent a time of change or transformation - a time where light can overpower the darkness, if used wisely.

The cheetah is a very passionate being of purpose. In order to fulfill your destiny, you must have a purpose to put your passion into. Before forging into new projects, this purpose must be the intent for it to move forward. The cheetah can feel stuck and unable to move forward if there is no passion or reason to do so.

When the cheetah is in balance, this often gives the inspired creature boundless energy to achieve anything. Therefore, if you drew the cheetah card, stay in tune with your passions and purpose and utilize them to manifest great things.

When the cheetah is out of balance, the competitive and impatient nature can take over, ruining a good thing.

In order to achieve balance, the cheetah must reconnect with an inner purpose, as well as focus on masculine energies. This is true whether you are male or female. Everyone can connect with the various masculine and feminine energies we all possess. Sitting quietly in nature can help you refocus your energies and meditate to rediscover your gifts and purpose.

DECK: Universal Waite Tarot Deck
CARD: Five of Swords
POSITION: Reversed/Inverted

While it is good to be mindful of others, it is not possible to please everyone or make every situation a pleasant one. Some situations are simply best left in the past so that you can move forward.

If something is not serving you right, you need to preserve your energy for good and move on from it to be of service to yourself and others.

Some may not be happy with your decision, but you know in your heart which way is the right way to go. Trust your instinct so that you can move on from conflict to the more peaceful life that you deserve.

Drawing this card in the reversed position can also mean that it's time to move on from partnerships that aren't serving your best interest.

Think about all of your work and personal partnerships and decide which ones can be improved (with the right plans) and which ones should be left behind. Cleanse yourself of toxic relationships and nurture those which are more balanced.

Your time and energy are valuable. Only give these gifts where they will be appreciated and used wisely.

The card for this Shamanic Medicine Oracle card and healing crystal reading is "Great Mystery", which symbolizes trust. Learn what the Great Mystery Card means in a Shamanic Medicine oracle card deck reading and which crystals and gemstones to use with it.

The Great Mystery card is a gentle reminder that things will be okay. Great Mystery represents the oneness of us all. We all are connected. Some also refer to this as the Creator. When this card is present in a reading, it indicates a need to build trust within yourself and the universe and the need to know that everything will work out as it should. The universe knows your needs and will provide accordingly.

But to accept your blessings, you must have trust. A powerful way to build this trust is by harnessing the power of the selected crystals, the universe, and self knowledge through meditation or prayer.

To strengthen the trust needed for this mysterious journey, we've included blue lace agate, as well as blue-toned quartz crystals with the card. You can choose your own crystals and gemstones based on what you have that will help strengthen your trust.
