CRYSTAL MAGIC

6/16/20252 min read

So you’ve found yourself staring at a shiny rock and wondering: Is this thing magic, or am I just really into geology now?

Don’t worry, babe — you’re not alone. You’ve officially entered the glittery, vibey world of crystal magic, where healing doesn’t come in a pill, but in a pocket-sized piece of amethyst that smells faintly of incense and self-worth.

If you’re a beginner witch, a spiritual baddie in training, or just here for the ✨aesthetic✨, this guide is your first step toward unlocking the power of those sparkly little soul batteries.

Let’s get into it — with humor, intention, and just the right amount of sass.

What Even Is Crystal Magic?

Great question. Crystal magic is the practice of using crystals to amplify your energy, intentions, spells, mood, and (let’s be honest) your vibe. Think of them as tiny energetic assistants — like if Siri was pretty, sparkly, and helped you manifest a sugar daddy and inner peace.

Each crystal holds its own energetic signature, and when you pair it with your intention? Chef’s kiss 💋 That’s where the magic begins.

How to Use Crystals Without Feeling Like a Fraud

You don’t need a coven, a full moon, or a centuries-old lineage. You just need intention and maybe a cute altar setup (because aesthetics do matter).

Here’s how to actually use them:

Cleanse Them First

Because you don’t know where they’ve been.
Use smoke, salt, sound, or sunlight. Treat them like energetic sponges that need a rinse.

Charge with Intention

Hold the crystal. Close your eyes. Tell it what you want.
Example: “You’re here to help me manifest $500 and stop texting my ex. Let’s do this.”

Place, Carry, or Wear
  • Keep it in your bra (yes, that’s a thing)

  • Put it on your altar or nightstand

  • Use during meditation or rituals

  • Toss it in your bag and pretend it’s not stabbing you

Pair with Moon Phases

Different phases = different goals.
Manifest during the new moon. Release during the full.

Wait, Do I Have to "Cleanse" My Crystals All the Time?

Only if you’ve been dragging them through emotional trauma, Mercury retrograde, or your job. Basically: if you’re feeling off, your crystals probably are too.

Use smoke (sage, incense), sound (singing bowl, Spotify rain playlist), moonlight, or even cold water (but do not drown your selenite — it’s delicate like you before coffee).
