Everyone has a breaking point. Whether someone says something to you or does something to get on your last nerve, we all have that one thing that just makes us snap without a second thought…

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)

Aries puts a lot of time and effort into being the person she’s always wanted to be. To everyone else, it seems like everything comes easy to an Aries, but in reality, she has had to work for it all; her confidence, her determination, everything that makes an Aries an Aries. Aries has a pretty strong head on her shoulders, but sometimes she loses her cool.

The worst thing you can do to her is mess with her emotions. Making her feel even the least bit bad for getting upset or acting anything less than the bad ass bitch she is will only lead to trouble.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)

For the most part, Taurus is a chill person who doesn’t really let anyone get to her. Being the bull, she can get lost in her stubbornness, but it is usually for good reason (so she says). That said, you should always be careful around her when things get out of hand.

Taurus may be able to handle a lot of things, but one thing she won’t stand for is when people cross her.

Whether that means picking a fight, showing her you can’t be trusted, or putting her down, you better hope she’s able to control her anger. Taurus is NOT one to mess with.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini wants nothing but to enjoy life, which is why she always surrounds herself with friends, fun, and love. What sets her apart from others is her impeccable ability to know when it’s time to be an adult and when she can play.

The minute you start to belittle a Gemini and the choices she makes, you better start working on an apology.

Not only can Gemini handle confrontation like a boss, but her communication skills will put you in your spot fast. Gemini doesn’t live life for anyone but herself, so she will definitely not be taking sh*t from you.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer loves to love, but unlike a hopeless romantic, she knows who deserves her time and affection, and who isn’t worth anything at all. She believes that love should come with respect, which means that those who want to stay in her life should prove it.

You can’t expect to have an open, honest relationship with a Cancer if you can’t be trustworthy. If you are just u sing her because she’s fun or she’s good in bed, you are intentionally hurting her.

You should never make a Cancer regret loving you because I promise that she will make your life a living hell for leading her on and stepping all over her heart.

LEO (July 23 – August 22)

Leo knows she deserves the best when it comes to love, which is why she has such high standards. Many people think she’s conceited or spoiled, but she would rather not waste her time with people who don’t want her for her.

Unfortunately, her radar can be a little off at times and people can slide into her life under false pretenses. Whether or not she catches it quickly, a Leo will ALWAYS know if you are playing her.

If you use a Leo – for sex, company, love, or anything in between – she will show you that she can push back twice as hard. When Leo puts her heart out on the line, she expects love in return. Always!!

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)

Virgo takes a lot of pride in  the kind of person she is – methodical, intelligent, and hardworking – and honestly, she doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. This attitude can sometimes annoy people because not everyone understands how she can be on her own level.

Virgo doesn’t believe in always sharing her goals and ideas because she knows that some of the best things in life are kept a secret (giving her complete control). However, this can sometimes lead to people talking down to Virgo like she doesn’t know what she’s doing, just because she isn’t always vocal about her next moves… BIG mistake.  Every time someone treats her like she’s dumb, she’ll come back with her claws out.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)

Libra might spend a lot of time making sure her friends and family are happy, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want the same kindness shared with her. In fact, Libra has huge dreams for herself, ones that she loves sharing with the people in her life.

Libra can be a very introspective individual, one who would rather keep her hopes and dreams inside until she’s ready to share. That said, she puts a lot of time and effort into thinking about the future, so when she’s finally ready to share, she wants people to make her feel welcome and loved.

Tearing down a Libra’s dreams is one of the worst things you can do because it shows her that after all the time she spent loving you, you’re still able to make her feel like she doesn’t matter.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpio believes in living life to the fullest, which means she doesn’t have time to slow down for anyone. She manages to inject life and passion into everything she does, from dressing to the nines to being the life of the party.

It’s not totally untrue that Scorpio can sometimes be a little too much to handle for some people, but if you have an issue with the way she lives her life, it’s best to just keep your comments to yourself.

Picking a fight with a Scorpio is only going to leave you with a bruised ego and some serious emotional hurt later on. Scorpio doesn’t need people telling her what to do or how to do it simply because it’s her life, not yours. Keep doing you, girl.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarius loves having a good time. Being with friends, having someone to love, just being herself; all of these things give the sign life. If anyone is more prepared for the future than a Sagittarius is, I haven’t found her yet.

She often gets into the mindset that if everything is going awesome for her now, then it must be even better in the future.

This enthusiasm is what makes Sagittarius so lovable and great to be around, but unfortunately, there are still people around her who would rather be negative all the time. Luckily for her, nothing really brings her down when she’s feeling herself, so when someone tries to hold her back from succeeding and having a good time, Sagittarius is able to put them in their place where they belong – behind her.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorn wants nothing more in life than to be happy, be surrounded by people who care about her, and be successful. She has worked hard to get where she is today and is constantly looking towards her bright future, which sometimes means she’s quick to move on from anything she deems problematic or negative.

So, when people try to bring up Capricorn’s past, including all of her bad decisions and mistakes, she won’t hesitate to shut them down.

Capricorn doesn’t understand why you would continue to bring up things from the past unless you are intentionally trying to upset her and if that is the case, then you’re no longer welcome.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarius loves being different and in fact, thrives best when she knows she’s the only one marching to the beat of her own drum. She doesn’t have to try very hard to be different, but she does make an effort to make sure the things she does in life are recognized for the right reasons.

Being such a big believer in wanting to make a difference, Aquarius is always hoping people will want to join her, not one-up her.

You should never overshadow an Aquarius; not because she can’t handle a little competition (you’d be surprised), but because she puts the most effort into things that matter most to her in life, so having someone tell her it still isn’t good enough is incredibly harsh.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)

One of the best things about Pisces is that she is able to handle a lot of things at once. Even when she’s in a sticky situation, she knows how to keep a level head and get sh*t done.

In addition to this awesome attitude of hers, she also doesn’t let people she doesn’t care about bring her down. That said, she can sometimes be seen as too nice or someone who can’t stand up for herself, which makes some people think they can take advantage of her.

However, what they clearly DON’T know is that when you make a Pisces furious, you’re in big trouble. Pisces is well aware of how she acts and just because it doesn’t seem like she has a backbone doesn’t actually make it true.  Anger a Pisces and you had better hope you come out of it one piece.

Ritual to many gives life meaning. They also honor and acknowledge the web of life that connects us all. A simple act done with the intention of love is quite powerful and more than enough. Here are some simple rituals you can perform on Winter solstice with friends, your family or on your own.

Candlelight Ceremony

This lovely ritual can be done at home with your family or include your friends for a larger Solstice celebration.

Someone begins by placing on a table, one large unlit candle and the others present place various smaller unlit candles for each person.

Turn off all the lights and just sit for a moment in darkness, remembering and honoring the Sun’s light.

Then who ever is leading, can light the main big candle an offer a blessing.

After that each can come and light their candle from the main flame and all candles can be placed in a circle or spiral around the main one.

Once all candles are lit, a song, blessing or simply “Happy Solstice” can be said together.

Solstice Lanterns

Decorate jars with pieces of gold paper, winter leaves, yellow, red or other coloured tissue paper,(glue is fine to use) and  you can make handles for the jars with wire.

Place them around the home welcome the darkness of Winter Solstice by lighting your lanterns on sunset and try not to use any lights for the evening.

Fire Releasing Ceremony

This ritual can be performed as a personal ceremony on your own or with a group friends and family. Make a small or large fire somewhere outside in a safe area or fire pit, a brazier or your inside fireplace can be used as well.

Begin by giving out small pieces of paper and pencils so each person can write down anything they want to release. Or simply write your own.

When all have written down what they wish to release, everyone gathers around a fire, and each person in turn comes to the fire and throws their paper in.

After everyone is finished, you seal the ritual by all banging on drums, using shakers any instrument or pots and pans, whatever you like, and then finish off with a celebratory howl!

Whatever you choose to do on Winter Solstice, whether pausing in quiet reflection, or celebrating with loved ones, know that all over our planet, many are joining in Spirit and doing the same.

Winter Solstice Blessings to all ♥

Crystal grids are made by the placement of stones in a geometric pattern for the specific purpose of directing energy toward a goal. The stones or crystals are then charged by your intention and energy.

Crystal grids can be simple or elaborate, get creative and follow what feels right for your purpose.

I love to set a grid during the new moon with the intention of my goals. The crystals are then cleansed and charged with the following full moon.

A grid can be used for a simple goal like enhancing your sleep quality, to bring more love and abundance into your life or something more globally intended – like World Peace!

The combinations are endless, depending only on your purpose for the grid. Whatever your intention, the crystal grid is an effective use of crystal energy when done with your clear intention.

Tumbled, rough, faceted stones, balls, points clusters and crystal can be centred around a Master Crystal which acts as the primary energy force for the grid.

Basic guidelines to making a crystal grid

• Decide on your purpose for the grid. Your clear intention is a key element in empowering the stones’ energy. Your intention is what you will use to charge the crystals.
• Write your intention on a piece of paper (or on the back of a photo that depicts your goal).
• Find a safe location to create your grid where it will not be disturbed. Cleanse this space. Some cleansing methods include burning sage, placing a crystal cluster in the room, or bowls of sea salt. Flowers, incense, music, candles can be used to add ambience to your sacred space.
• Place your crystal layout in a geometric pattern , make up your own or use a mandala template or sacred geometry design etc..
• Charge the Master Crystal with your intention and place it within the layout
• Relax and center yourself. Visualize your goal having already been achieved with a calm mind and positive intention.
• Say a prayer or give thanks of gratitude.

An important aspect of your grid is to have fun with it and be creative. You can’t really make a mistake, if your heart is true and your goals for good.

You can make your grid on a tray or movable surface, or place it on a spot where you know it will not be disturbed. When you are finished using the grid, be sure to cleanse the stones before using them again.

Enjoy the endless possibilities of creating crystal grids. Please feel free to contact us if you would like more information or are seeking specific crystals and stones for your grids.

We have many natural & polished crystals and stones available that have yet to go up on the website… Blessings ♥

Wands come in many different shapes and sizes, and also in many varieties of stone as well. Wands may be long or short, and the cylinder can be smooth or faceted. They can be pointed at one end and rounded at the other, or they can be rounded on both ends, or pointed at both ends. Some wands are wider at one end and tapered at the other, while others are not. Most wands are shaped and polished, but rough natural pointed crystals, such as quartz, can also be used as a healing wand.

Healing wands gather and direct energy. The elongated, cylindrical shape of a wand enables the stone or crystal to direct its healing energy in a straight line, and the wand’s point focuses the crystal’s energy so that it can be used on specific areas of the body.

Healing with a Crystal Wand

Crystal wands can be used in many different methods of healing. They can be used to heal the entire body or aura, or they can be used on a specific area of the body, or on a particular chakra. They can be used to scan the aura and the chakras to locate blockages, and then cleanse and heal them.

Wands can also be used in massage healing. Massaging the body with a stone wand helps to release tension from the body, while at the same time the stone’s healing energy is transferred to the body. Smooth, round wands that are rounded on at least one end are the best to use in massage healing as they will not scratch or cause other discomfort to the body.

Pointed wands are good to use in reflexology, a healing method in which the stone’s point is held at certain pressure points, mostly on the hands and feet, to heal ailments in particular areas of the body.

Choosing your Wand

Wands come in a wide variety of stones and crystals, so there are many different wands to choose from. Different stones have different healing energies and, therefore, have different effects on the body, aura, and chakras. As each gemstone has different healing properties, it is nice to have a variety of wands to use for a variety of different purposes. You might, therefore, wish to build a collection of wands made from a variety of gemstones.

When selecting a wand to use for a specific purpose, you should choose one made from a stone that is suitable to your intention. Therefore, it is good to know a little about the healing properties of different gemstones so that you are able to select a stone that harmonizes with the purpose for which you wish to use it.

Getting to Know Your Wand

Before using your wand, you may wish to spend some time with it to become familiar with its energy and to harmonize with it. The better you know your wand, the more effectively it will work for you. You can hold it while you meditate, or just sit holding it and feeling its shape, texture, and weight, and visually examining it to familiarize yourself with any patterns or changes in color it may have. You can also sleep with your wand, or even take a bath with it. Spending time with your wand will not only help to you become attuned to it, but you will also be receiving its healing energies at the same time.

Cleansing and Recharging your Wand

Crystal and gemstone wands should always be cleansed and recharged after usage, especially when it is being used on multiple people or for multiple purposes. Otherwise, any negative energies the stone has removed from one person may be transferred to another. The easiest and most efficient way to cleanse a wand is to soak it in water for 12 to 24 hours. (Make sure first that your stone is not one that can be damaged by water.) And the best way to recharge your wand is to leave it out in the sun for an hour or so in the morning, or leave it out under moonlight for an entire night, this works best when the moon is full.

Healing with your Wand

There is no right or wrong way to work with a wand. There are, however, a few common basic methods. These methods are not set in stone (ha, ha), but are merely a rough guideline to help you to get started. A big part of working with stones, whether or not you are using them for healing, is listening to your intuition. The energy vibrations of a stone will speak to you if you listen. As you work with your wand and gain experience using it, you will eventually come up with a method which works best for you and your wand(s).

To heal a specific condition (on yourself or someone else):

1. Begin by drawing the “murky” energy out of the affected area. Do this by holding the wand over the area (it is not necessary to touch the body with the wand) with the point pointing away from the area being healed. While doing this, picture in your mind the crystal drawing the negative energy out of the body, through the crystal, and then out the pointed tip. Some people also draw a circle or spiral in the air above the wound by waving the wand in a counter-clockwise direction as they move it over the afflicted area. Some people speak out loud in prayer, or repeat the intention, or speak other words of healing. Again, there is no right or wrong way to do this. Use your intuition and go with what you feel is best.
2. To replace the negative energy with positive energy, and thereby heal the problem area, do the opposite. Hold the wand point down over the afflicted area as you visualize healing energy coming down into the crystal, through it, and then into patient’s the body in a focused beam of energy. If you waved the wand counter-clockwise when drawing out the negative energy, then wave the wand over the area in a clockwise motion. If you spoke words during the removal of the bad energy, you may wish to also speak words while the problem area is infused with healing energy. Use your intuition to determine when the healing is complete. It could take anywhere from one minute to 15 minutes or even longer. After completion, some people say a prayer of thanks.

To scan the aura and chakras to locate and heal blockages:

• It is easiest to have the patient in a laying down position. Begin wherever on the body you wish and hold the wand horizontally over the patient, but not touching the patient. Slowly move the wand over the entire body. As you do this, take note of any areas in which the wand feels different. It may vibrate, or become warm or cold, or feel harder to move, or feel heavier. These are the areas where there are blockages in the aura or chakras.
• Once you have finished scanning the aura, go back to the blocked areas and use the wand in the same way as above, first removing the negative energy, and then replacing it with positive energy.

An alternate way to scan the aura

1. With the patient lying down, hold the wand point up and move it over the body slowly in small counter-clockwise circles beginning at the feet. Whenever you feel that there is a blockage, pause at the area and remove the stuck energy as before. If you feel the need to change the wand’s movement, then do so. Once the area feels clear, return back to the counter-clockwise movement and continue scanning the body up towards the head, stopping again whenever you sense there is a blockage.
2. When you reach the crown of the head, reverse the wand so it is pointing downward, and swing the wand over the patient’s body in small clockwise circles, working your way back down to the feet. This will recharge the energy fields in the aura and chakras. If you once again feel an area of blockage, turn the point back upwards and remove the bad energy until it feels cleared. Then turn the point back downwards and return to waving the wand in small clockwise circles over the body, beginning with the area that was just unblocked.

Again, there is no right or wrong way to do this. Just listen to your intuition to find the way that is best for you.

When you are using your crystals for specific healing purposes they need to be cleansed and charged regularly. I cleanse my personal crystals at least once a month, the full moon is my preferred method. If I feel a crystal or stone has been working overtime with me, I will cleanse and charge it more often.

If you are using crystals for healing on others they must be cleansed each time before they are used again on another, this includes yourself.

Charging and cleansing crystals clears away absorbed energy and give them vital renewed energy. There are a few crystals that are said don’t need to be cleansed however I feel all crystals need to be cleansed and re–energized regardless.

Here are a few ways to cleanse and charge your crystals. Please remember not all methods are suitable for some stones and crystals, especially those who do not like water or sun.

• Placing your crystals in morning sunlight on the Earth for an hour or so, will charge most crystals. It can get very hot in the day and some crystals will fade, darken or crack under too much heat, so remember morning sun only.

• Placing your crystals out under moonlight is a gentle and penetrating method for recharging your crystals. The full moons’ light is the brightest in its cycle, thus giving a greater charge to your crystals.

• Placing them out in any dynamic weather conditions such as a thunderstorm provides an awesome electromagnetic charge to your crystals.

• The power of intent or creative visualisation – focus on and see white light cleansing and charging your You will get a sense of when the crystal is recharged.

• Placing your crystals under running water. Fresh creek water is wonderful or a very quick swim in the ocean, remember to rinse with fresh water and dry your crystals and stones.

• Placing your crystals on an Amethyst cluster is great for recharging jewellery and smaller crystals. You can also place your crystals on a Clear Quartz cluster that you have programmed to recharge any crystals you put on it.

• Smudging with Sage. The purifying smoke pulls the negativity into it and then transmutes it… then smudge yourself too

• Placing your crystals on a Selenite ruler brings them back to their sparkling selves in no time.  Selenite cleanses and energises your Crystals.

• Crystal singing bowls are another great way to shake out all the lower frequencies and make your crystals buzz. Never place your crystals or stones inside a bowl. Sit them around the crystal bowl and do not allow them to touch the bowl or the bowl may shatter.

• Placing your Crystals in a grid. This can be a grid you create yourself with other crystals, or you could use a sacred geometry pattern such as the Sri Yantra or a Metatrons’ cube / Star of David / Flower of Life / Tree of Life image etc…  You can download and print images and then place your crystals on top of them.
