Happy New Moon in Scorpio and Happy November!!! The boys are in the cozy fall mood. They want to be snuggled up with me 100% of the time. It is getting cold, and we have yet to turn on the heat around here, haha.
Today is the first day of Connecting With Your Crystals, and I am so grateful for the Discord community already! If you are looking to sign up, you can do so here. If you are looking to only have the community/group coaching aspect without the mailed goodies, you can check out that offering here. As a reminder, this IS a completely free challenge to be a part of so if you want to, use the tag on IG so I can see and interact!
I have been really drawn into crystals and ancestral work lately. This ancestral work has been years in the making. Having Honoring Your Ancestors as a physical copy rather than an ebook has really helped me sort of launch into this work. In conjunction with this work guided by The Morrigan, I really focused in on a clear quartz crystal ritual from Earthcraft Oracle. The name of the card for this ritual is “transform with raven.” It was a perfect synchronicity.
What I noticed from the quartz ritual was the feeling of being cleansed each morning. I was able to get the stagnant energy of sleep and morning out of me. No matter how cold it was, I always had my window open to channel the energy outside of my home. It also helped release a resident knot in my shoulder. I was sick for the rest of the day, but the pain was considerably better. And, tmi, but it’s true, I finally had what felt like a healthy period since I got COVID back in November of 2022. The physical cleanse I have gotten from 3 weeks of consistent use with this crystal has been unexpectedly magical.
Those of you following along on IG will also have seen that I have been cross stitching, and the crystal beads I ordered for that project have arrived. Crystals have been very prominent for me lately, and I am thrilled, tbh. I have so many because I have always been a rock collector, but to feel the excitement, rush, and connection to my crystals in a spiritual way again has been amazing! I can’t wait to see how you all connect as well!
While we won’t choose our crystals until week 2, I have chosen my crystal already. It’s not really a crystal, but a fossil. Ammonite! I have always been fascinated by fossils (I was that kid who went through a paleontology and archeology phase), and to consistently hold them in my hand is a dream come true.
Why ammonite? Well, it’s been calling to me for years, but it has been at least 7 years since I’ve really had the time and energy to tap into something this complex. Not only is there the opalized fossil energy, but there is also the animal energy. This fossil to me represents ancestry. I am on that ancestry path right now so ammonite it will be. I considered just sticking with something a little more basic like amethyst or citrine or carnelian. I thought about my epidote tower that I am madly in love with. I kept coming back to ammonite and the alignment within it. I also found my ammonite necklace. So for the first time in 10 months, I am wearing something other than my charoite (which has been life changing, literally).
You may feel very called to a crystal/fossil/rock. You may have a harder time. You may need to ask for guidance. I have a quick visualization for you below.
Get into a comfortable position. Let your eyelids slide close as you relax through some deep breaths. As your eyes fall shut, you find yourself in a place that feels sacred: by a creek, the sea, in a cave, under a forest canopy, wherever that is for you. Imagine your body growing roots down through the top soil, into the subsoil, and maybe all the way down to bedrock if you need.
Sit there for a moment. What energy do you feel? What color(s) do you see in your vision? What crystal shape comes to mind? What message or purpose is there within your meditation?
Sit here for as long as you need. Listen. Tap in. Your intuition and higher self will guide you to the crystal you need right now.
When you are ready, come back to yourself, your body, this present time. Allow yourself to sit quietly until you’re ready to open your eyes. Open your eyes slowly. Write, draw, express the message(s) you got. Drink some water.
I am wishing you the absolute best this month. It will be a busy month for me. I have many social engagements start on 11/20 and ending at Thanksgiving. I am excited to live this hosting life and be present with loved ones. As I finish up the goddess altar hangings, I will be posting about them here and on IG. I can’t wait for them to be ready. I just think they’re so pretty, and the energy on the beads is stunning!
If you enjoyed the crystal visualization here, I will be offering more moments and other additional support in the Discord chat. You can sign up here for mailed goodies or here for just the group coaching.
Since it is Day 1, answer the prompt below. What do you know about crystals? Give a fact or two, a story, a personal anecdote. We’re sharers in this space!
Wishing you well this week! May your life offer what you need in this moment.
With love,
Aventurine ✨
