Spell Steps

Step 1: Stand in the middle of your home and set your intention for this crystal grid.

Step 2: Choose one of these blessings or virtues that you’d like this crystal grid to attract to your home – the best options for this grid are love, growth, joy, collaboration, clear communication, and grounded leadership.

Step 3: Find the north point of your home. If you have a yard, we’ll start at the northern point of it. If you’re in an apartment or condo without a yard, just start at the northern point.

Step 4: Now we’re going to find a corner of your yard (or home) in which to place your first quartz point. The starting corner just one step clock-wise from the most northerly point.

Step 5: If you’re outside, bury one of your quartz points in the soil, with the point up. If you’re indoors, place this point in the corner in a way so it won’t be disturbed. Amplifies and clarifies other energies. It’s beneficial for healing, meditation, and protection. We are gridding the exterior edge of your property in quartz to magnify the energies we’ll be trying to encourage within the home.

Step 6: Go to the next corner and bury or place the next quartz point. Then, follow the same process to the last two corners.

Step 7: Once the quartz points have been distributed we’ll place the black tourmaline. If you’re in your yard, you’ll head inside for this step. Find the northern-most corner of your home and place the first black tourmaline piece in a place where it won’t be disturbed. Protection, it creates a shield deflecting and dispelling negative energies, entities, or destructive forces. It guards against radiation and environmental pollutants, and is highly useful in purifying and neutralizing one’s own negative thoughts and internal conflicts, and turning them into positive, usable energy. We’re placing black tourmaline at the borders of your home’s building in order to keep out negativity and strengthen the home’s energetic boundaries.

Step 8: Continue to place the black tourmaline pieces in the corners of your home until you’ve placed the pieces in all four corners. Continue to hold the intentions of this grid as you place the stones.

Step 9: Once the boarder grid has been completed, you’ll move to the nursery or another room associated with the new child. Bring the green aventurine and place it near the child’s space, but not too near to where they sleep. We’re placing green Aventurine here because it brings optimism and a zest for life, allowing one to move forward with confidence and to embrace change. It enhances one’s creativity and motivation and encourages perseverance in maneuvering life’s obstacles. Green Aventurine energetically stimulates the physical growth of infants, young children, and teenagers. It increases overall vitality and enhances the intellectual development of children.

Step 10: Next, we’ll take the sodalite and the rose quartz to the very center of the home (or as close as we can get). We’re placing these two stones at the center for the new parents. We’re adding sodalite because it is a calming crystal that activates the heart chakra and helps in understanding your team better. Sodalite promotes intuition and a trust in one’s own judgment, which can be a great ally in daily life. Sodalite helps to achieve emotional balance, releasing old conditioning and programming of the past which no longer serves. The keywords for Sodalite are: teamwork, spiritual development, productive creativity. Place the sodalite somewhere out of site in the center of your home.

Step 11: Finally, we’ll place the rose quartz at the center because Rose Quartz is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Rose quartz is often associated with mothers and it helps in creating a steady feeling of love and appreciation throughout the home.

Step 12: Once you’ve placed the final crystal, take a moment to settle yourself and imagine your good intentions filling the home and extending to the very corners of your property. Take one more deep breath and know that your crystals will carry and imprint your intentions.

Spell Steps

Step 1: Unwanted energies cling to mess and clutter. Prepare your space by taking some time to physically clean the area you wish to house your sanctuary. Open the windows to let fresh air in and clear the room of stagnant energy.

Step 2: When you feel the area you will be using is thoroughly cleaned, continue with the next step in preparing the space by laying down a cloth for your sanctuary if you so choose, or lighting incense to raise the vibrations of the space. This step is deeply personal and it is likely that no to people will have the same method. Once the space is prepared for your sanctuary, refrain from placing mundane items on it as it is a space reserved for that which is sacred.

Step 3: Take your physical representations that you have chosen and arrange them on your space according to your liking, whether that be in a circle, on the designated corners of your space or in any other way you see fit. Go ahead and place these symbols now, as we are building the energetic momentum of this quest. The ultimate goal is to have the energies flow together in order to help create the reality we are working towards.

Step 4: Tell yourself and the universe, what each symbol means See it as a shimmering sigil in the air above the representation. Feel the energy it represents coming from it. Do this for all four symbols. This simple repetitive act creates the mental and energetic link you will need for the next phase.

Step 5: One of the most basic representation we see of the sanctuary is light. For the weary traveler, it was the light of the inn, for the religious it is the light of the candles at their place of worship. Our goal here is to take this idea and use it to tie together our symbols. Before you retire for the night take a few quiet moments, take a candle and place it in the center of your sanctuary set up. Light it and focus on the feeling of light residing in your sanctuary. It welcomes you, beckons you to relax and let go of stresses from this day.

Step 6: Now is the time to awaken the energies within the symbols you have chosen. Take one of the symbols in your hands and visualize the energy it represents coming off it. Say these or similar words: “I charge you, symbol of ________ to bring your powers of ______ forth to this space. You are connected to this space in order to create a sanctuary and keep out all negative forces.” Visualize the symbol chosen and realize that its powers have been called through its qualities, and awoken to this space. Hold the image of its energy shining and swirling around your sanctuary for 11 seconds. You may now move onto your next symbol and proceed until you have done this for all four.

Step 7: Now visualize the four symbols creating the pillars of your sanctuary, see the energies flowing into the next, until the four are flowing together. Once you have this image secure it in your mind. Say this or similar words; “I dedicate this space as my personal sanctuary. This space is one I can turn to for protection, wisdom and serenity when life becomes chaotic and stressful. The pillars stand strong and will not break. Their energies together keep out all that does not serve. As above, So below, So let it be.” Hold the visualization for 11 seconds, and afterwards know it is done, and that your sanctuary is ready when you need it.

Spell Steps

Step 1: We can experience frustration when a spell doesn’t seem to be working. We might not be aware of how we might be preventing the outcome we desire. This first step requires some time to meditate about what you are trying to accomplish and list reasons that might be preventing it from coming into reality. An example might include hoping for more money, but upon examination, you might discover you don’t really believe you deserve more money. That feeling could be preventing your spells or rituals from working. The first step is to brainstorm and try to zero in on one attitude that you’d like to improve or clear.

Step 2: Once you have an attitude or belief in mind, try to find some images that remind you of how this attitude is holding you back. Example: If anger is blocking a type of healing you want, gather up some images that look and feel like the energy of anger.

Step 3: Decide which element to work with for this spell. As you clear or improve the energy of the targeted attitude, you’ll be asking for the assistance from one of the elements, earth, air, fire, or water. Determine which element feels right for this task. Example: You want to cleanse yourself of negative emotions regarding your body. You may choose to use the element of water to wash those feelings down the drain. A cleansing bath could be your choice.

Step 4: On a piece of paper, write down a statement that describes what you hope to accomplish in this spell. Example: I want to eliminate my fear of poverty so that I can allow for abundance in my life.

Step 5: Under that main statement, add a couple of specific examples that you feel would help. Examples: Every day, I’ll make sure to watch an inspiring video about abundance so that I can begin to resonate with different vibrations. Every day, I’ll reinforce this spell with a short visualization before sleep.

Step 6: Find a representation of the element you will be using. Examples: A stone, crystal, dish of salt or soil for earth. A chalice, cup of water, or seashell for water. Incense, aromatherapy, or a wand for air. A candle, image of a flame, or sitting by a fireplace for fire.

Step 7: Once you have your statements, your attitude images, and your elemental representation, set a time where you can be alone for 10 to 15 minutes and bring these items with you into that space.

Step 8: Use any additional tools that help you attract the essence of magick. Candles, incense, or magickal tools.

Step 9: Once you’re settled in your chosen space. Bring out the images that represent the attitude. Take a few moments to feel what this attitude is like. It won’t be pleasant, but that’s okay. You want to be honest about the feelings and use your sensitivity to them to complete the spell.

Step 10: After a few moments, focus on the item you’ve chosen to represent the element of your choice. Feel how this element could help you shift away from the negative attitude. Examples: Water can cleanse, refresh, or nourish. Earth can bury and rebuild with new soil. Air can shift mental states and communications. Fire can burn through the old and bring light to the situation. These are just a few examples. Find the way that your chosen element can help reinforce your goals with regards to bringing on an attitude change.

Step 11: Focus on the strength of the element as you read the statements you’ve prepared. It’s best to read them out loud, but if that isn’t possible, whisper them to yourself.

Step 12: In your own words, ask the energies of the element to assist you in cleansing, clearing, dispersing, etc. the negativity associated with your current attitude. Imagine the element coming to life and joining with you in some way that will help with this process. Example: A healing pond forms and takes you into it’s soothing waters. A magickal breeze arises and brings new information into your consciousness.

Step 13: Hold the image of the element working with you in the etheric planes for as long as you can.

Step 14: As the imagery fades, thank the element for its willingness to be with you on this journey.

Step 15: Take the paper with your statements on it and put it together with the image or representation of the element. As you place them somewhere together state something like the following: Together we will alter my attitude according to the highest good so that I might fulfill my highest destiny and purpose.

Step 16: Take the images of the attitude itself and destroy them in a way that utilizes your chosen element. For example: Burn the images if you are working with fire. Tear them up and scatter the pieces in the wind if you’re working with air. Bundle it up and release the papers into a river or body of water if working with water. Bury them or use the paper as compost if working with soil.

Step 17: Ground the visualization by enjoying your chosen element. Work in the garden for a few minutes, take a relaxing bath or swim, enjoy a walk the open air, or gaze into a fire.

Step 18: Release your spell and allow the element to work within your life. Notice any shifts occurring and take notes in your journal.

Step 19: Use short visualizations before sleep to reinforce your connection to the element assisting you.

Step 20: In 7 days, reassess your situation and see if you notice any attitude adjustment. When you do recognize a significant shift, you’ll be better prepared to use another spell to achieve your goal or manifestation once again.

This is a “stepping-stone” spell as it is best used as part of an overall alchemical process. And it might have to be used repeatedly in some form before a significant change is accomplished.

By using this spell, practitioners can become more highly attuned to blocks and other types of interference affecting their work. It can be alternated with other spells also designed to help with clarity.

Spell Steps

Step 1: Gather up 5 small stones. Make sure they are very smooth to the touch as they represent soothing energies. You can use marbles or craft pebbles too.

Step 2: Locate a garden pot or small container that will hold water. You’ll be placing some soil and the stones in the container and you’ll be adding a little water every day for a total of 7 days.

Step 3: Collect some soil that you can fill your container with.

Step 4: Take a photo of the affected area of your body and print it out. If a printed photo isn’t possible, try to draw a representation of the affliction on a small piece of paper and add a short description.

Step 5: When you have all the materials together, begin your spell by moving to a private space and set up any additional tools you wish to use.

Step 6: Begin by focusing on the area of your body you wish to heal. Speak to the affected area. Let the area know that you will be intending to help it heal and express your gratitude for its normally healthy condition.

Step 7: Take your container and fill it half way up with the soil.

Step 8: Take the photo or drawing with description of the spot that needs healing, and roll the paper up so that it’s a small, hollow tube. Like a small straw. Insert the paper into the center of the pot. Make sure the paper is small enough so that when all the soil is added, it will be completely covered.

Step 9: Pick up one of the smooth stones. Close your eyes as you hold it and imagine that it contains the energy of warming fire. Then place it in the pot to one side of the paper.

Step 10: Pick up another one of the smooth stones. Hold it in your hand and infuse it with the soothing, cleansing energy of water. Then place it in the pot to one side of the paper.

Step 11: Pick up another one of the stones, and as you hold it, fill it up with the refreshing energy of air. Then place it in the pot.

Step 12: Pick up another one of the stones and imagine it holding the grounding, healing energy of the earth. Place it in the pot.

Step 13: Pick up the last of the smooth stones you’ve collected. Hold it in your hand and lightly blow on it. As you blow on it, imagine filling it up with the energy of pure spirit. Let the ethers of the cosmos swell inside the little stone as you place it in the pot. Your stones should encircle the paper.

Step 14: In your own words, say something like: May the energies of earth, air, fire, water, and spirit work together to heal my ——– . Fill in the blank with a word or a couple words that describe the area you wish to heal.

Step 15: Cover the stones and paper with more soil until your container is full and only soil is showing. Move to a sink or use a container with water to sprinkle a few drops onto the soil.

Step 16: As you sprinkle the water into the soil, imagine the loving elements of earth and water soothing and healing the area that you’ve chosen to heal. Say something like: With this water, I send healing energy to my ———- . Use your own words to describe the wound or affliction.

Step 17: Optional: Place a crystal or other meaningful icon on top of the soil.

Step 18: Put the container somewhere convenient so that you can add a few drops of healing waters to it each day for 7 consecutive days. When you take the time to add the water each day, continue to focus on the healing energies of water and the other elements you’ve charged to soothe and heal your body.

Step 19: After the 7 days are finished, feel free to dispose of the contents by adding them to a natural environment outdoors. Let the earth absorb your desires and continue to allow healing to take place.

Spell Steps

Step 1: Take some time to relax and meditate about your desires pertaining to contacting this ancestor. In most cases, ancestors are connected to us through shared karma and soul-family lessons. Once they have passed into the ethereal realms, many are willing to help us as they are able to recognize the challenges that continue to occur in our lives as their descendants.

Step 2: Look over any genealogy you have and scan the names. Gently run your fingers over the names and take note of any sensory alerts. Dowsing over the names with a pendulum is another way to sense which ancestor would like to work with you.

Step 3: If you’re not aware of any specific ancestors, meditate and request that one of your earthly ancestors will hear your call. Take a few minutes to relax and extend your love out to those who have come before you. In this step, one of your ancestors will come forward even if you are not immediately aware of their presence or name.

Step 4: Once you identify the particular ancestor you would like to reach, gather the objects you plan to use for your spell. These items might include photos, images, descriptions, or maps. Try to find things that relate to your ancestor, the times they lived in, the place they lived, and other components. Use a personal object that might have belonged to your ancestor if any are available.

Step 5: Write a short letter to your ancestor introducing yourself and extending your invitation to open up a line of communication and contact. Be sure to include your gratitude for their presence in your life.

Step 6: Fold your letter and put it into an envelope. Write a short sentence or a few key words describing your main reason for contact on a separate piece of paper and include it in the envelope. Examples of keywords might be: better health, trauma recovery, more abundance, better attitude, loving relationship. etc. Keep these words general for this first contact. Seal the envelope. Write the name of your ancestor on the outside of the envelope. If you don’t know the name, use some sort of greeting such as, “Dear Ancestor of Mine.”

Step 7: Wrap the envelope, a photo of yourself, and an image representing your ancestor in your chosen fabric and tie it up with the string or ribbon you’ve collected.

Step 8: Bring together all the items you’ve gathered for this spell. This includes any additional images, maps, stories, descriptions, and objects.

Step 9: Find a safe space where you can place these things after this initial spell is completed. This can be a place in plain sight such as the top of a dresser, or it can be someplace private like a chest or box that will be used only for this contact and purpose.

Step 10: To start your spell, use any of the tools such as candles or incense that you’ve gathered to set up the desired ambience.

Step 11: Sit or stand comfortably. Relax and let yourself move into a light, meditative state.

Step 12: Using your visualization, establish a bubble or sphere of white and blue light around you. In your own words, state that you declare this space as safe and sacred and only open to those of high dimensions with the highest good as their purpose.

Step 13: Look at the items around you. If you have descriptions, take some time to scan over them. View any images. Touch or hold any objects you have. Absorb the energy of the life and times of the ancestor you are attempting to reach.

Step 14: Openly invite this ancestor to join you in this protective space. State that you would like to work with this ancestor and be of mutual assistance to each other. State that you will help clear the entire lineage of conflicts as you solve your own challenges.

Step 15: After you have made these statements, take some moments of silence. If words or images come into your mind, prepare to write these down in your magickal journal. Take note of any feelings you have in these moments as they can be clues as to the type of help this ancestor can offer. They can also reveal negative energies that need to be cleared.

Step 16: When you sense the energy is shifting or releasing, close this spell work by expressing your gratitude for the presence of all your ancestors and for this particular ancestor’s willingness to become an active part of your life.

Step 17: Place your wrapped letter and photos along with any other objects you’ve collected for this purpose in a safe place that you’ve prepared. As you continue to work with this ancestor, you will continue to add magickal energy to these objects.

Step 18: Release the special space you created for this spell, and put away any other tools you used.

Step 19: Write down any feelings or information you received in your magickal journal. Begin to think about any specific needs or requests you might have for this ancestor as these needs can be addressed when you continue to contact this ancestor.

Step 20: If you feel you want to continue to work on this relationship, plan the next time you’ll reach out to this new etheric contact.
