Merlinite and Amethyst and Celestite, Oh My!

Last week I picked up my layaway from Little Mysteries.  It was a big one, and means that I probably won't be able to do any shopping there for a while, but it was WAY worth it.

First, a nice piece of Merlinite.  Pretty sure this one will end up as Stone of the Week pretty soon

Then two gorgeous amethyst bookends.  The colors on these are just STUNNING!

And, Drum Roll Please......

The Most Beautiful Hunk of Celenite I have ever seen!

It is big and beautiful with gorgeous crystals.  Here is one with a Pepsi can for size comparison

Halloweeny Goodies.

I finally broke out my camera so I could show you some of the more recent additions to my home. 

First, My Altar by Daylight

My Altar by Candlelight

Some of my larger stones.  First, Amethyst

Selenite

Labradorite

Pyrite

This is my newest acquisition.  A large Celestite sphere.

And here are some Halloweeny goodies that caught my eye on a recent shopping trip.  First,an adorable witch ornament.  I really want to start collecting these so that I can put up a Halloween Tree.

And finally, the cutest little witch doll.  This is Lucy, from Peanuts.  Dressed as a Witch.  If you press on her foot she says " A person should always choose a costume which is in direct contrast to her own personality"

What Goodies have you gotten recently??

Amethyst can help with anything!

 

If you read my last post you know that I am a big fraidy cat when it comes to the new school year.  So I ventured out to my new school again today but this time I came armed.  I brought along a spray bottle filled with spring water, sage, rose petals, a piece of quartz and a piece of amethyst.  I sprayed this around the room in order to cleanse some of the bad energy and bring in some positive, calm and relaxing energy.  I then placed a piece of natural (not polished) amethyst in each corner in the room.  

For those of you who don't know much about crystals, here is why I did that:  Amethyst is a stone that emits calming energy and promotes peace and tranquility.  It helps balance energy and is especially recommended for children with ADHD.  Amethyst is the very first stone I was ever attracted to and I wore a large piece of it for most of my teenage years, which may have helped me not get into the trouble that many of my peers did.  I have more amethyst in my home than any other stone and, in my ritual room, I have a beautiful little fountain that cascades water over a pile of Amethyst.  

I feel a little better now that I have taken some action and made the classroom a little more "mine".  I'm still incredibly nervous about meeting all the new people and trying to make connections but at least I have made some progress in feeling more comfortable in my own little part of the school.
