Contemplating Crystals
This page explores some of the many uses of crystals with respect to moving energy, healing, and working magic. Crystals have been largely considered "new age" and dismissed by most of the mass culture of the West, whereas the spiritual communities in the East see little use for such things. In reality, crystals are used in an Atlantean magic technology (originally known in Atlantis as magic-science, it is the basis for the modern (and much reduced) magic of sorcery) that can mix with other magics (such as wizardry and witchcraft) to do a variety of incredible things.
Although crystals can be used in an infinite variety of ways, at Sangha Society we work with crystals in four primary ways: (1) resonance and proximity; (2) enchantment; (3) building and shaping power; and (4) shamanistic interaction. These different methods are not mutually-exclusive. Many times, a crystal will be worked with in all four ways at once, or in some combination of the four that is appropriate to the circumstances.
Resonance and Proximity
Different crystals have different affinities. Some of those affinities are based on the color of the crystal, with the uses and resonance of particular crystals aligning with the function of the chakra with which it shares a color. For example, you might choose to use a green crystal to resonate with heart energies, a blue crystal to resonate with throat energies, or an orange crystal to resonate with sacral energies. In other cases, the color might have more to do with the meaning-gravity you are trying to draw in. For example, if you are American and want to bring in money, you might again choose a green crystal, but this time because of its link to the color of US currency.
In many cases, specific crystals have their own unique purposes, based on their specific mineral makeup and also based on how they are carved and shaped. Shaped crystals that carry a likeness of an animal or a person or a concept will evoke the energies of that likeness, although modified by the underlying energies of the crystalline makeup and color. Using crystals in this manner often involves wearing them, in order for the energies to passively pervade your experience. For larger crystals, you can place them around a living space in order for the desired energies to resonate throughout the space, although the specific location where the crystal is placed often has more to do with shaping power (described below) than passive resonance.
Angel Wing Calcite
You can also hold a crystal and tune into it in order to cause yourself to resonate more with that energy. For example, in the image is a beautiful angel wing calcite that was purchased in Glastonbury in the UK. It is rather yellow, and so would normally be thought to resonate primarily with solar plexus energies; and yet when you hold it for a few minutes, the unique properties of this crystal will draw you inexorably into the angel field (the realm of the angels), dramatically elevating your vibration in a very gentle way. (It happens to be enchanted by the lovely beings who sold it to me to make it even more effective in this regard.) At the same time, it does also work on solar plexus energies in a very effective way, if one can tune to the solar plexus energy and angel field energy in their mind simultaneously.
Enchantment
Crystals can be used to hold magic - a process known as enchanting. Different crystals are better at this than others -- for example, the tektites, like moldavite, do not easily hold complex magical constructs (although working with an individual moldavite as a being, described further below, is something else entirely), whereas clear quartz can hold any magical construct quite well. The process of enchanting will be discussed in more detail in a separate article in the near future. In short, it involves linking a magical construct, intention or frequency to the crystal, so that the crystal will continue to perform the magical working after the mage’s attention is elsewhere.
A simple use of enchantments is to enhance the existing features of a given crystal. For example, the angel wing calcite mentioned earlier was blessed by its sellers to make it even more effective at resonating towards the angel field (although interestingly, this was entirely unconscious magic borne from their intense love for all beings).
My home resonator, along with Thoth, Guan Yin and Odin
You can also create astral constructs and attach them to a crystal. A common form of this is using crystals to act as resonators. You can decide on certain specific frequencies you want to resonate throughout a space and then link those frequencies into the crystal. For example, I have a home resonator (a large hunk of blue kyanite) that continuously resonates peace, joy, love, wisdom, synchronicity and attunement (bounded by balance and harmony) throughout my home.
Crystal enchantments and water go very well together. There are water bottles that allow the placement of crystals in a separate container next to the water. The crystals can then be enchanted to continually bless the water in a desired way, providing beneficial energies with every sip.
Crystals can also be enchanted as a link to sources of meaning-gravity. This can be an excellent way to have power available on hand to fuel magical workings, and is related to using crystals specifically to build and shape power, as discussed below. For example, I have a crystal bracelet (dragon jasper beads) that is linked to the ley lines that underlie the town of Glastonbury in the UK. (I spent about 5 weeks there over the course of 3 months.) Whenever I need that energy, I can draw directly on it through the crystals on my wrist, rather than having to reach across the world with my mind for those ley lines directly. The crystals provide an extra layer of coordination that makes drawing on the power much less effortful, with more of the ley line energy coordinating into my experience. (It also keeps Glastonbury, as a being, happy with me, since I’m not forgetting about her now that I’m no longer regularly visiting. Every time I draw on the ley lines, I connect with her energy.)
Enchanted crystals can be put to all sorts of interesting uses, limited only by the creativity and skill of the mage.
Building and Shaping Power
The use of crystals for the purposes of building and shaping power is at the core of Atlantean magic-science. You can use crystals to directly build and shape power, and also as a profound aid in manifestation. This can be in simple ways, such as when you hold an amethyst tower in your hand while doing magic or attempting to manifest. In doing so, you are raising power by drawing on the inherent aspects of amethyst as a link to the third eye (the violet color of the amethyst resonates with the violet color of the third eye chakra), while at the same time using the tower shape as a type of wand, allowing you to either better radiate that power or to direct it more precisely.
This particular wand refuses to take a name other than Wand
Wands in general are highly useful, although not so much the sort they show in Harry Potter. The most useful and powerful wands have a roundish (or at least, unpointed) crystal on one end and a pointed crystal on the other end. The unpointed end represents the more feminine yin-based energies and is designed to radiate power in multiple directions or draw in information and power from a wide field. The pointed end represents the more masculine yang-based energies and is designed to act as a laser, knife, or pen, in order to make powerful and precise manipulations. This is a picture of my favorite wand, which is a piece of wood grown in a helical pattern, with rubies, topaz, garnet, tigers eye, opal, and malachite inset in the wood, a citrine as the feminine end, and a lemurian quartz with a moonstone at the base for the masculine end.
Crystals can be used to dramatically enhance the energies in a given space, to enhance workings or tune towards a specific purpose. The placement of crystals within a space is best done when tuned into the energetic results of the arrangement. In setting up a space, intuitively place a crystal where it feels appropriate, test the field (your body’s intuitive sense of the space around you) once placed to see if it feels right, and move the crystal until the field feels settled. Then add another crystal to the mix at another place in the space and see how it makes the field feel. Continue as you bring more crystals into the larger grid, holding the grid in your mind as you go. The crystals in a grid act together as a coordinated whole, each moving energy throughout the room in a unique way, but collectively creating a strong and interrelated effect. As you start doing this more, you begin to intuitively know, quickly and accurately, how to arrange the crystals to get the desired energies you seek. This is particularly helpful when you are trying to create a bounded space of one sort or another in order to achieve a specific purpose.
As mentioned in the enchantment section, crystals can also be used to directly raise power by coordinating meaning-gravity. Certain types of carved or shaped crystals can draw strongly on the meaning-gravity of the shape in order to enhance the power of the working, and you can use enchantment to dramatically strengthen those inherent links. Linking crystals to sources of meaning-gravity (like the Glastonbury ley lines mentioned earlier), allows you to coordinate that meaning-gravity into your grid and from there into your workings.
A meaning-gravity coordination grid to fuel magical workings
The most advanced versions of this combine crystals and devotional objects. You can create a field of devotional objects that draw on the meaning-gravity of particular deities or concepts, then place a crystal in front of each object. The crystal acts as a place for the entity you are interacting with to move more of its presence into this space/time. You can then create a meeting place of meeting places using a crystal, so that all of the deities can interact together in one physical location on this plane while working with you, and, as you come into closer and closer resonance with the entities, more and more of their combined meaning-gravity can become available to you. The image on the left is an example of this concept. For several months during the middle arc of my spiritual attainment, this grid sat next to my workspace and fueled most of my magic.If you look carefully, you can see that each statue has a crystal in front of it, there is a large platter of labradorite under the Ganesha statue that acts as the collective meeting place of meeting places, and then all of that meaning-gravity is funneled into the crystal skull, which rests on top of the angel wing calcite in order to use the angel field to augment the skull's power.
The skull itself is an interesting example of how crystals can be used. The crystal is a very pure aquamarine, which on its own activates the throat and heart’s voice chakras, and works to sharpen intuition and aid clairvoyance. The skull shape tends to powerfully activate the mouth, third eye and crown chakras. This particular piece further houses a complex enchantment coordinated by the god Shiva that allows the skull − in combination with a type of light ship technology I learned from the seller of that earlier-mentioned angel wing calcite − to act as an intergalactic communicator. I created a perfect astral replica of the skull inside my pineal gland (I learned that particular wizardry from my son), and so all of the energies funneling into the physical crystal skull through this structure are pouring directly into my third eye. Huge amounts of power and meaning gravity are therefore available on demand.
Before you go about setting up one of these structures, it is helpful to learn enchanting, since much of the strength of this structure is related to not just the physical form itself but also the magic done during its creation to draw in meaning-gravity and strengthen the links between deity and crystal, as well as between the crystals themselves as the grid formed.
A circle of power
After I came home from the UK on my last trip, I needed to raise a VERY strong circle of power in order to move some of the enormous karmas I was wrestling with, both for myself and the world. This ring is where I basically lived for a week after my return.
You can't see it very well in the picture, but there are threads feeding power into this structure from multiple places. For example, at the window is a Ganesha statue that is funneling power from my land and nature down through the wheel and the line of "flotsam" on the floor directly into the circle. The whole room is functioning as a single energetic grid.
In addition to raising power, crystals can be used to build specific devices. In the gallery below, you can see a crystal machine I built back in April 2023 to pierce the veil limiting the knowledge available on Earth and pull in new information from outside the Earth field. It worked − REALLY well. This is another example of the entire room participating in the grid. Literally every fold of fabric and chip of paint directed the power in a particular and harmonious way.
Shamanistic Interaction
In addition to their energetic and functional properties, and their use in metaphysical machines, crystals can also be interacted with as beings. This requires some practice, but it is achievable by everyone: (1) Tune into a crystal that you want to interact with, and sense into what its name is. (2) Start talking to it in your mind, as a being with a name and personality. (3) Imagine what it would say in response. Over time, the "imagined" response will become sharper, with more distinct personality, and it will start saying things you weren't expecting. That is how you learn to shamanistically interact with all things, not just crystals.
On my wrist, I wear a simple bracelet made of moldavite wrapped in black niobium and never take it off, even when I shower. The moldavite's name is Morgan, and Morgan helps coordinate a lot of my existence. She helps me with big issues -- I'll often discuss my plans with her and get her advice, and she is currently coordinating my exposure to the faery lattice of all beings -- as well as little things, like reminding me not to forget something. She is actively helping me every day in my campaign to help bring heaven to Earth.
As you start to connect with crystals as beings, they can begin to use your magic to do things for you. For example, the other day I was carrying a bag when meeting a friend for lunch, and I was worried I would forget it. I asked Morgan to remind me. Just as I was getting up (entirely forgetting the bag, of course), the waitress dove across the table, saying "sir, your bag!". I immediately heard Morgan snicker in my head.</p>
Siobhan, the overhwlem faery
Any discussion of crystals as beings would be woefully incomplete without mention of Siobhan. Siobhan (an amethyst, topaz, moldavite and ruby pendant) has been helping me with what is one of the biggest workings I have yet done (and may ultimately be the biggest working I ever do): the cataloging and elimination of all human overwhelm. Siobhan has taken a trip across the veil with Morgan (after I gave Morgan an astral copy of the Veil Piercer, they disappeared for 4 hours, and came back shaken and transformed) and is quite a bit more capable than most crystals.
Siobhan has been actively cataloging all of the overwhelm I have experienced. If I ask Siobhan for help removing something as overwhelm, it's like I'm having energy work done on me − Siobhan intelligently uses my own magic to remove the karma. Similarly, anyone who wants to can participate in the working, just by asking Siobhan to remove their overwhelm.
(You can do this now by looking at her picture, tuning into her energy, and asking her to help you remove your overwhelm. You’ll quickly feel the unique sensation of her working on you.)
Once you are part of Siobhan's network, you can ask Siobhan to help you remove any overwhelm you perceive, and she will leverage my magic and yours to remove it. In the process, you are adding your overwhelm to her catalog, helping everyone who is connected.
