To practise this kind of magic you will need a few stones, crystals or pieces of metal. Modern science greatly values crystals: all of technology, from telecommunications to watchmaking and life-saving devices, relies on them.
Crystals, precious and semi-precious stones, and even ordinary stones found in nature – in fields, forests and on beaches – have many properties and a specific power of their own, just waiting to be used.
But what exactly is stone magic? Can a few pebbles really influence your reality? Stones, like herbs, colours and numbers, are not neutral. They are active, powerful tools endowed with energy that can influence your world.
Stones can be used to improve your quality of life, build happy relationships and attract wealth.

Stone magic is built on the same simple principle as the other branches of natural magic, and its effects are direct. Using stones in magic releases the energy hidden within them and allows you to direct it. This power is available to everyone; at some point, stones become a tool for anyone to improve the comfort of their life.
When choosing a crystal for yourself, you need to be patient. Don’t choose in a hurry; take your time and consider whether it speaks to you or not. Each crystal has different functions, so it is also worth considering what you desire and what your goal is. Crystals should be small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
There is an age-old technique for awakening a crystal, or awakening the power within it. It comes with an old legend, which says that it is best to walk naked into a natural body of water on the night of a Full Moon, holding the crystal whose power you wish to awaken. You can strike the water with the crystal three times, or strike it against other stones, taking care not to damage it. This technique awakens the numen (the spirit or consciousness) of a newly acquired crystal.
According to ancient belief, all gems have a magical power linked with the stars.
The shape of a gem is very important in magic. Pointed stones, such as quartz or amethyst, emit energy, while round stones are reservoirs that create energy fields.
Quartz crystals are special: they are very popular and are used in practically all of today’s technology.
They are also used for healing, bioenergy therapy, acupuncture and magic. White, or clear, quartz is known for its ability to stimulate psychic powers and abilities, including foretelling the future.
