Use of Crystals in Magick

[labyrinth]

I've always heard about how crystals can amplify thoughtforms and energy and can be used in magick and spells. I have a crystal generator I want to use but I don't know exactly how to incorporate it. Do you just set it on your altar, hold it while you direct energy, or something else?

Depends on the ritual/spell you are trying to do. Whichever that you feel is logical - then go with your intituation.

There are several ways to use crystals in magick/spells.

If a spell involves chanting as part of the ritual, you can held it in your hands to enhance the energy.
There are spells that you cast on a crystal, and use it as a tool (wand?) to achieve your goal.
For healing, crystals are commonly used and place near the charkras...
For protection... crystals are either placed around a certain area or carried by the caster....
For divination... well, I'm sure you heard about Crystal balls :)

Here are some information on Crystal "Healing" - I got off from Ms. Ellie Crystal
*****************
Many crystals have healing properties that you can discover if you chose this healing technique.

Crystals vibrate to at different rates enabling them to heal different areas of the body.

Quartz crystals have excellent healing properties. Quartz also has the ability to transform an imbalanced energy field. When you feel stressed the crystal can balance your energies and revitalise you.

Others minerals besides quartz crystals -display healing properties.

Small quartz crystals left in water will ionize the water and is a good drink for healing.

You can use crystals yourself to heal or find a qualified healer.

Most crystal healing is guided to the healer by Spirit.

Spirit will tell the healer which crystals will be most effective and in what patterns the crystals should be placed on or around the person's body.

The length of time used with the crystals will vary with each patient and healer.

The healer must determine the patient's frequency and attune it to the crystals that will place it in balance.

All healing is about placing the body in balance.

Treatments will vary in length and number of times required. They may not always work.

Owning a crystal that you carry with you - or keep in the area you spend most of your time - can enhance the healing after you work with the healer.

It's always good to have a few quartz crystals around your home to balance the energies - before you need the healing.
