Stones:
- Agate - good energy balancer overall, helps smooth out “rollercoaster” feelings and thoughts, soothes anxiety (moss agate is particularly effective for me)
- Amber - not always easy to find, can be expensive, but a great all-purpose witchery stone (particularly good if you happen to work with Freyja), general good-health stone
- Amethyst - my personal favorite for preventing hangovers and headaches
- Bloodstone - useful for internal complaints and injuries, to speed healing and restore energy and vitality
- Carnelian - another general good-health stone (and such a pretty red!)
- Fluorite - I’ve found that carrying this in my pocket on those “feeling low” days helps me to focus and feel less drained
- Garnet - best thing outside of chocolate to help soothe the pain of a wounded heart
- Hematite - for warding off/shortening illnesses and clearing icky stuff out of the body (I have a friend who wears hematite rings and rarely gets sick)
- Jasper (Green) - all-purpose healing stone
- Quartz Crystal - a do-all stone, can be put to any magical purpose, great for amplifying and focusing other effects and for cleansing (I use them to give healing spells a boost)
- Rose Quartz - wear this one after a break-up to help yourself move on and clear away that bogged-down feeling
- Turquoise - to ward off illness and bring strength
- Sea Water - I use it for literally everything, cleansing, banishing etc.
- Rain Water- This kind of depends on what you associate with rain. I use this mostly for creativity/inspiration sort of things.
- Storm Water- Strength or when used in curses is good for chaos and ‘stormy’ times.
- Puddle Water- I personally use this in curses when I want the target to feel stagnate, trapped at a certain point in their life.
- Water from a Storm Drain - For curses, I use this when I want my target to feel self-loathing, low and disgusted with themselves.
- Water from a Flower Vase - I usually only use this when the flowers in the vase are in full bloom (or as much as they can be) for ‘nourishing’ a situation and helping it grow.
- Tears - Very strong, they can be used for a lot of things. Even positive.
- River Water- Can help stimulate change.
- Lake Water - Even though I have a lake very close to my house, admittedly, I don’t use it too often. But it can be used as a substitute for sea water.
