Over time, you will doubtless adorn your sacred altar space with many beautiful crystals. Whenever you acquire a new crystal, you need to cleanse it. A new or waning moon is the optimal time to perform this cleansing. Gather these elemental energies:
- A candle for fire
- A cup of water
- Incense for air
- A bowl of salt
Pass your crystal through the scented smoke of the incense and say:
Inspired with the breath of air
Pass the crystal swiftly through the flame of the candle and say:
Burnished by fire
Sprinkle the crystal with water and say:
Purified by water
Dip the crystal into the bowl of salt and say:
Empowered by the earth
Hold the crystal before you with both hands and imagine an enveloping, warm white light purifying the tool. Now say:
Steeped in spirit and bright with light
Place the cleansed crystal upon your altar and say:
By craft made and by craft charged and changed,
This crystal I will use for the purpose of good in this world.
In the realm of the gods and goddesses,
I hereby consecrate this crystal.
Blessings to all, blessed be.
