                    Crystals and stones helpful for Samhain 

                                        (Halloween for non-Wiccans)

When looking for crystals or stones remember to select the right tool for the job.  Just as you’d look in your toolbox for the proper screwdriver or wrench, when you search in your crystal toolbox, keep in mind the occasion and your intent while selecting crystals and stones to mediate with, decorate your altar, do spellwork, or sleep with for the night.

On Samhain, the Wiccan New Year, we sense the barrier between the seen and unseen is very thin and it’s possible to traverse between the two.  You may  have spirit visitors during this time or you may wish to venture safely into other worlds and seek.  As the Wheel of the Year turns, and we can’t do anything about that, know that the barrier between worlds is never as thin as it is at Samhain.  If you have a special project that needs tending at this time of year, these are among the crystals and stones I recommend you have at your disposal.

 

Silver Sheen Obsidian

 

Obsidian is volcanic glass, not a crystal.  Several forms and colours of obsidian are available.  You can find the most common black obsidian, rainbow obsidian, gold sheen obsidian, and even blue obsidian.  For Samhain, silver sheen obsidian is remarkable.  The silver sheen is reminiscent of the Goddess silver moon energies shining upon us all.  Obsidian in general has long been associated with magickal workings like scrying, but obsidian also absorbs negative energies and can keep you grounded as you gaze into the silver and make use of its energies.

Smokey Quartz

Smokey Quartz is a crystal of silicon dioxide that has been exposed to radiation to give it a brown colour.  Smokeys come in all shades of brown, some are so dark they look black.  On the one hand by their colour they represent the unknown world, they are gateways to the mystical.  On the other hand no other dark crystal holds as much Light as a smokey.  It is both mysterious and friendly.   This form of quartz crystal is known for absorbing any negative energies and helps with meditation and grounding: actions which are very powerful at Samhain.

Labradorite/Spectrolite

Labradorite (and its twin stone Spectrolite) are iridescent feldspars which in the right light show a rainbow of colours.  This amazing stone stimulates the brow chakra and highlights intuition and psychic talent and divination.  This is an especially helpful stone to work with during Samhain rituals. 

Rainbow Moonstone

Like labradorite, rainbow moonstone targets the brow chakra and enhances imagination, creativity and psychic awareness of All That Is.  While labradorite is the “heavier” stone, rainbow moonstone lifts us to unite with the energies of the mystical moon.  When seeking a psychic boost at Samhain, rainbow moonstone is a must.

Clear Quartz

Clear quartz acts like an energy turbine.  It increases the vibrational attributes of any and all stones and crystals near it.  Clear quartz opens the flow to your higher purpose and is used to expand psychic abilities, clairvoyance, protection and communication; all activities to pursue on Samhain night. 

Black Tourmaline

As the energies of Samhain surround you and you experience a shifting of time and experience when the veil between the worlds is so thin, black tourmaline keep you grounded in your physical body.  It opens the feet chakras to integrate all you experience within yourself at the close of any meditation or ritual.  Black tourmaline is the best grounding stone around so make use of it as much as you can.

 

Samhain  Blessings to All
