Lucky Spell Jar

Tip: Make sure everything is dry so it doesn’t grow moldy!

You will need:

A jar, any jar, really.
Two acorns
Basil
Nutmeg
Cinnamon
Jasmine
One piece of Citrine

Further directions:

As you put all of your ingredients into your jar, visualize lucky energy pouring into it (it’s usually green for me.) Make your intent very clear! Ingredients can be switched up depending on the type of luck you want. When your jar is finished, seal it with white or green wax and set somewhere you can see it. (ex: a windowsill, on an altar.)

How to see and read auras

Auras are energetic fields that surround all living things. Often an aura can have a particular color or hue to it depending on its frequency level.

Auras usually extend around 2-3 feet from your body, but often those who feel vulnerable or have been abused in life can have a larger aura that they have built for protection.

Although not all of us have the ability to see auras, often we can intuitively feel them. This is often expressed when we see someone that appears to have a glow to them, or if we feel uncomfortable when someone walks by or enters our personal space.

How to See Auras:

1.) Place your subject against a solid background that is light in color. If you want to look at your own aura stand in front of a mirror, at least 2 feet away, against a light background.

2.) Focus your attention to the L- shaped spot between the shoulder and the neck. Keep staring at this area and remain calm and open.

3.) At first you may see a white or clear glow but as you remain focused and expand your eye line out to the rest of the body, this glow will start expanding into a color.

If you see….

Red: This indicates an energetic and adventurous individual. It can also indicate someone who is impulsive and quick to anger.

Yellow: This indicates an intelligent and logical person who is perhaps a teacher of some sort. They are keen observers, critical and are very independent.

Pink: This indicates a very nurturing and loving individual that enjoys the company of others. They are natural healers, sensitive and have strong imaginations.

Green: This indicates a highly creative individual who is also hard working. They can be perfectionists and often make good leaders. They are generous, well respected and health conscious.

Orange: This indicates a highly sociable soul who enjoys attention and being in the limelight. They are people pleasers, are willing to give and are very in-tune with others emotions.

Purple/Indigo: This indicates a highly psychic or intuitive person who is philosophical and inquisitive. They may come across as being secretive and they are often very in-tune with animals, nature and children. They are caring individuals but often don’t like commitment.

Blue: This indicates a strong communicator who has many ideas and visions. They are also intuitive and highly intelligent. They are calm when it comes to emotions and are born motivators and inspirers. They can at times be workaholics and manipulative.

Gold: This indicates a very creative soul who loves to surround themselves in beauty and art. They enjoy the company of others and are often very attractive. People are drawn to those with gold auras so often they will have many friends. They are independent but can be stubborn.

White/Silver: This indicates a very gifted individual who is highly intuitive, sensitive and psychic. They have a deep spiritual understanding and are often healers of some kind. They are very attractive to others however, they prefer to have just a few close friends.

Grey/Black: This indicates an individual who is depressed, negative or very fearful and anxious. These auras indicate that a cleansing or healing is needed.

It is possible that someone will have a variety of colors in their Aura but often just one color will be dominant. Aura colors can also change depending on the persons mood, life events and their surroundings.

Seeing Auras takes practice, so be patient and continue polishing your skills by testing this out on a variety of people.

Crystal Tuesday- Black Obsidian

Science

First, Obsidian is not a rock, stone or crystal. Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. Aka, it is made from liquid hot magma. When felsic lava comes out of a volcano and cools rapidly with minimal growth the resulting glass is obsidian. It is most comprised of Silica (“rock crystal”).

There are many kinds of Obsidian Such as Golden, Mahogany, and Snowflake

Correspondents

Energy/intent: Transformation. Fulfillment, Metamorphoses. Manifestation, purification and cleansing

Zodiac: Scorpio, Sagittarius

Element: Earth and Fire

Mohs hardness scale: 5-5.5

In history

Obsidian has been used in the ancient times because it can be fractured conveniently to produce knives and sharp blades. Indeed, symbolically this stone works like a knife, penetrating the heart of the problem.

Black Obsidian is a very powerful and creative stone. It increases self-control. It forces facing up to one’s true self. Releases imbalances and negative energies. Black Obsidian is protective and provides support during change. It repels negativity and disperses unloving thoughts.

Black Obsidian is a very useful tool to clean your aura and energy, it also offers a strong psychic protection. It can heal traumas and negative emotions from our numerous past lives that we have been unable to release and is very useful as a tool in energy work.

My notes on it

Obsidian is a little intense for starters, so if you would like to start working with it I suggest Snowflake Obsidian as it is less intense and has the same qualities
