Why Should You Cleanse Your Crystals?

If you're here, then you are probably one of two people; here to gain knowledge and maybe find some new methods or because you think crystals are absolute bullshit and that cleansing is the least important thing on the planet for 'pretty rocks'. Either way, I'm happy to have you here reading my side of the conversation

Let's get one thing straight, you don't have to believe. If you just like crystals for the aesthetic, that is fine! You do not have to care about metaphysical properties, colour magic or Feng shui. If you do use crystals in your energy work, however; let's talk about cleansing them.

The whole reason people use crystals in the first place is to cleanse and balance the energy within a space and themselves, so it only makes sense that those energies of the stone would be drained or disrupted in some way over time. I personally believe that regularly cleansing and recharging your stones is the only way to restore your crystal to its natural state.

Consider it an energy filter. If you don't clean out the filter of a vacuum, it will begin to not perform as well as it did initially - crystals are the same!

At every point of contact, a crystals natural energy will be disturbed; It will pick up other energies or use some of its own. When you first get your stones home, it is essential that you cleanse them.

From their time in the mine, to being gathered, to the hands of the collectors, to the wholesalers, to the retailers, to you. These crystals have been on the adventure of a lifetime and if you expect them to help your depressed ass, maybe give them a chance by giving them a simple cleanse.

Remember, Stay witchy, not bitchy.
