Gemstone & Metal Magick
Gemstones and
metals have long been associated with magick. The correspondence table below
lists the magickal properties of many common gemstones and
metals.
As with
colors, there are many ways to use gemstones and metals in your magickal
workings. Place a piece of gemstone having a property related to your
working on your altar or in your ritual space. Include gemstone or metal
pieces in amulets or carry a piece to help improve your life in an area
associated with the item. Find magickal tools crafted from a gem or metal
that has properties you wish to tap into in your rituals. If you are
interested in exploring gemstone and metal magick further, we recommend Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem and Metal
Magic and Dunwich's Guide to Gemstone Sorcery
