The Full Cold Moon and Crystal Cleansing

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!

 

The Full Cold Moon and Crystal Cleansing

 

The Full Cold Moon; or the Full Long Nights Moon is time to cleanse

your crystals. During this month the winter cold fastens its grip,

and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes

called the Moon before Yule. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly

appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and

because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time. The midwinter

full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite

a low Sun. This moon also appears the smallest in the sky due to its

lopesided orbital path.

 

Cleansing Your Crystals On a Full Moon

 

Several ways are suggested:

 

*Place your crystals under the light of a full moon/sun for 24 hours.

 

*Place in Sea Salt Water. One teaspoon of Sea Salt in a glass bowl in

cool water. Place the crystal in the water. Make sure the crystal is

covered with water. Let this bathe in the water for 24 hours. This is

a wonderful way to rejuvenate the power of your crystal. It washes

away the negative energy it has absorbed and recharges it with the

positive healing energy again. (Note: Some crystals should NOT be

washed/cleansed in salt water/sun for it changes their physical

properties (not their metaphysical properties), they are listed below.

 

 

Not to be cleansed in Salt Water:

*Calcite

*Carnelian

*Labradorite (Spectrolite)

*Lepidolite

*Moldivate

*Opal

*Turquoise

*Ulexite

 

*Use caution only with the softer Mica and crystaline stones

 

May fade in Sunlight:

*Amethyst

*Celestite

*Opal

*Turquoise

 

*Bury it in the earth (make sure you mark it!), for 24 hours.

 

*Smudge your crystal with sweetgrass, sage, cedar or incense. Pass

the crystal several times through the wafting smoke.

 

*Place your crystal on a large crystal cluster for 24 hours.

 

*Soaking your crystal in flower water with the petals of the flowers

such as rose, honeysuckle, orange blossoms for 24 hours will cleanse

the crystal of all it's negative energy.
