There is a once man who lives within the prism multiverse of the ultra-violet sapphire of wisdom...
He reads from the pages of the red book and quotes CJ Jung saying, "I am an orphan alone; never less I am found everywhere. I am one yet opposed to myself. I am youth and the old man at the same time. I have none neither father or mother for I had to fetched out of the deep like a fish, or fell like a white stone from the heavens. In woods and mountains I roam, I am in the innermost souls of men. I am mortal for everyone, yet I am no touched by the cycle of aeons".
So listen to these words for herein lies some truth and wisdom, I may be young but I have sucked on the teat of a wise man...
Crystals
Associated with the ,"New Age Movement", and under critical attack on occasion,
Crystals are known for their healing and occult abilities. This interest is not new to humanity. Throughout history crystals have been used as talismans and a focus for Clear-sight, Clear-hearing, and in Trance Meditation.
Anciently Crystals and gems were signs of wealth. In tales such as , "King Solomon's Mines", it is said that their was much hardship and death along the quest to find these gems, this was justified the true discovery of the treasure. A treasure that renders the finders rich forever after. They have struggled through to the crystalline truth. The gems change our consciousness.
Within such stones snatches of possible futures can be seen, or glamourous desires found, transcendental knowledge can be sought. Note the Brahman Seer and his, "Hollow", stone.
Our cultures have been lost, our respect and understanding for the earth and its inhabitants diminished. Left brain thinking has reduced and rationalised other cultures as primitive, savage, and backwards. During the past Aeon man has turned away from spiritual awareness, natural healing and holistic living. This has disturbed our race mentally, emotionally and physically.
We may have gained a technological revolution full of scientific wonders but also terrifying destructive capabilities. So now in propaganda and promoted fear many are disillusioned with our so called civilised society and are looking back to their own and others philosophic points of view. We cannot turn the clocks back, yet we can attempt to find a balance between the technological and the spiritual.
I claim not that Crystals are a complete Magickal Solution, yet they are a powerful catalyst which can enable us to find this balance, a balance not just within our self's but in the way we perceive the world.
What are these Crystals?
Formed in the earths crust some 40,000,000 years ago, they have an regular geometric form, spontaneously generated and self replicating in a stable fashion. Crystals exemplify natures apparent power of self organisation, which includes the physical evolution of life on earth.
Glasgow scientist, A. Cairns-Smith, may of involved a process of replication starting not with organic DNA but via inert matter. The developing pattern of crystals in clay beds do not only replicate innovative information but also give knowledge of the surrounding minerals, also if changed by environmental pressure they replicate that change too. This may explain Sheldrakes theory of formative causation.
Quartz Crystals in particular were always thought to hold special power. Occultist Dr Joannes Dee the original 007, and modern users of crystals claim to have communicated with entities, to of induced trance healing and scry the future, including other levels and dimensions of reality. In 1845 Baron Von - Richenbach announced that physics perceive an energy emitted by crystals and magnets. His findings were and are being replicated now, at the time they were dismissed by skeptical materialists.
The amount of quartz found in prehistoric megaliths suggests ancient knowledge of the mechano-electric properties of crystals that is found in many forms in all types of rock used in standing stones. It is associated with the tingling sensation felt by those dowsing or passing megalithic sites.
Piezo Electricity - an electrical charge applied to quartz changes its shape or curvature. Compression produces an electrical charge across its faces. Pressure applied fast and hard, ( as by a hammer), can generate several thousand volts. Charging a pressurised crystal causes an oscillation that can produce a regular flow of electronic and mechanical pulses. Wherever we go science has harnessed the crystal.. In T.V.S. wrist watches and the silicon chip, yet ignoring the possibility that it changes consciousness.
Soviet researchers in the 1960's suggested that the earth is a giant crystal. The article was published in the journal of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. According to the theory a crystalline lattice provided an matrix of cosmic energy may have formed the original structure of our planet. More exciting still is the fact that this structure can still be seen from space... In twelve pentagonal slabs covering the surface of the globe. The Soviets overlaid the resulting dodecahedron with twenty equilateral triangles and claim that the entire geometric structure influences or has influenced such diverse phenomena as magnetic anomalies, earth faults, mineral and oil deposits, bird migrations, cyclone centers, solar radiation and even the position of early civilisations.
The late Aldous Huxley dismissed the common argument that some stones were valuable simply because they were rare. he pointed out some much rarer substances that have no appeal at all. Having himself ingested the Psychedelic Drug Mescaline, (which heightens the senses), and after experiencing vivid visions said, "Precious stones are precious because they remind us of the glittering inner vistas of inner worlds, pregnant with light and colour." Crystals even common place ones like a snow flake or ice have essentially the same effect. To look upon a field covered with a blanket of fresh snow is literally an act of magick.
Shamanic cultures as far apart as the Tingit Inuits and the Amazon Conbo all consider quartz crystals to have a special power. Shamanic theory holds that reality has an inner and a outer aspect. Shamans are people who travel such inner worlds to receive and gain knowledge for the whole community. They say that such explorations show the thing we perceive as physical such as a tree to have an inner, spiritual aspect the form of a man, shaped this way as we are humans, and also something more an oddly shaped stone or pillar of mist a ball of light, power and soul.
The quartz crystal is unique. Their inner and outer aspects are identical. The only known structures on our planer to exhibit this characteristic. And in this it makes them ideal for the working of magick.
Yet we must always be wary of abuse of all things - The Crystal we may keep in the palm of our hand, and a world in turn holds us and in turn the universe holds the world. In this all things become one and nuit.
Every living thing past present and future, the individual cell, atom and neutrino contains all we are The God and The Goddess both.
The Crystal can remembers all of this and more, the need for life to evolve.

Exercises:
There are many uses for crystals in spell working, ritual and magickal practice - some are:
Storing and Transmitting
Concentration and Visualisation
Increase of Will and Attuning to the Sub-Conscious
Mind Passive and Active Meditation
Relaxation Grounding and being Centered
Banishing - Unwanted thoughts and feelings
Programming Clear Quartz with a colour for spell work, a table of correspondences would be a good project on this forum!
Thought form , Symbol or Specific Intention good for Invocation
Mantras, Chants and Affirmations - Crystal Running and Dance
Using Crystal to Transmit Energy to another Person Healing
Dream Recall, Guidance and Healing
Inner Guides
Clear Quartz aside some more useful ones are:
Amethyst an excellent receiver - Spirit, Justice, Creativity
Aquamarine an excellent tuner - Happiness and Clarity
Carnelian other Earth Stones- Self and grounding Current Conditions
Rose Quartz an excellent Transmitter - Health, Prosperity and I know a spell for Lunacy!
Tourmaline an excellent Amplifier - Power, Activity Spell Release
