Moonstones and Pendulums

The next gemstone that I’d like to introduce you to is the moonstone, a shimmering and dazzling crystal that matches the mystical object that it’s named after. Moonstone is fantastic for balance, going with the ebbs and tides of life. Even though there’s movement, by the end you will find yourself centred at just where you should be. Moonstone is perfect for getting you through times of turmoil or confusion, and even when you’ve just got a touch of PMS!

But my favourite moonstone crystals item is my moonstone pendulum. If you’ve never used a pendulum before, you will be amazed at how easy it is to use it so it is a great way of divining for the beginner. (For details on how to use a pendulum take a look at this site -the only thing I would add to the info here is that it I usually ask the pendulum the answer for yes and no TODAY, as it can sometimes vary. Why, I don’t know!)

My moonstone pendulum is not the only one that I have. I have different stones for different purposes: rose quartz for love question for example. But I like to use the moonstone pendulum for times of imbalance in my life such as stressful or confusing times when I don’t seem to be getting a straight answer from anyone! I use it when one aspect of my life is taking over others and also if I feel a little taken for granted. It seems to bring me comfort as well answers during these times. I hope it does the same for you. :)

The Blushing Pink Stone of Love - Rose Quartz


Now that spring is here and life is coming back to the environment around us, it is not uncommon for thoughts to turn to romance ;)


Whether you are single and looking for someone special, or with a partner and just want to put a bit of magic back into things, you can turn to rose quartz to help you out.


Rose quartz isn’t called the love stone for nothing. Its colour lends itself to the gentle and delicate nature of love but it also has a passionate feel to it to. It is a very vibrant and lively stone to work with so use this strength wisely.


To use rose quartz for love, you can try a little bit of spell work. Don’t be put off or worried by this, it is perfectly simple and harmless. However, please do not try to use this for negative purposes or to bend the will of another person.


So, what do you need to do? Firstly, you need to work on a flat surface and choose somewhere nice and quiet where you won’t get disturbed. Place your piece of rose quartz in front of you and light a pink candle. Hold the candle in your hand and visualise the feelings and emotions that you wish to experience from love. Let the joy and flush of love come to you - experience them as if they were first hand. Place the candle in a holder in front of you and then place the rose quartz in your hand. Meditate for about 20 minutes, all the while focusing your mind on the happiness you wish to draw to you. Do this over 3 nights to increase the energy flow.


Hope this works for you and let me know if we hear the sound of wedding bells!!
