How To Use Crystals in Magic

White witches and Wiccans frequently favor using crystals in magic. The reason for this is simple. Crystals hold a power of their own. They're elemental, coming directly from the earth, are minerals, and contain their specific energy frequency.  

When practicing magic, you want to harness specific energies from crystals and other sources, such as herbs and essential oils, to achieve your goal. Crystals and magic work harmoniously to help manifest your intentions. Because of their inherent power, we add crystals and herbs to our Affirmation Candles. We do so for a reason.  But how to use crystals in magic for the best results is a matter of some learning.

As you will learn, crystals can enhance and empower many intentions. Follow us as we share some of our favorite crystals in magic.
