Crystal Charging
As I write and record this, the Moon is 96.6% Full; the official Full Moon time is tomorrow, May 21, 2016 @ 5:14 pm EST. However, I am getting ready to charge my crystals.
If you saw one of my most recent blogs, my most favorite Malachites burst in half and the result of me using the stone over and over again and neglecting to cleanse and charge it. I will never make that mistake again. A very powerful yet gentle way to cleanse and recharge your rocks is to allow the light of the Full Moon to fill them up with all of that good energy. This is just one form of cleansing and recharging; others include Sunlight, Salt and Water, but if you are new at doing this I do not recommend the other methods unless you are very familiar with your crystals because Sunlight can drain the color out of any colored Quartz type of stone or Flourite and softer stones, Salt can erode many stones and many practitioners refuse to use Salt as it will eventually break even your most solid rocks down and they will crack and shatter. Water, on the other hand, can disintegrate Selenite and soft stones; you will watch them melt right in your hand and that is why I stick to The Moon! He is gentle and powerful, like I said before.
As the Moon grows (like tonight into the weekend) the rocks and crystals will begin to absorb that energy. Think of when the Moon is growing Full the tides begin to grow and people get all full of energy and go crazy too. This is scientific proof that the Moon does have an effect on objects on Earth.
Here is a little video I made as I prepare my stones for a Full Moon charge and to protect them from the morning dew and the impending rain that has not seemed to stop since March. Now if you do not have an outdoor space to place your crystals, you can always place them on a window sill where you know the Moonlight will be shining through.
