This page is to serve the purpose of educating our members and visitors on the divinity properties of stones and the massive amount of energy they carry for us as humans to tap into. Stones and crystals have been used in sacred ceremonies since the dawn of man. Stonehenge still stands as a testament to humans connection to this hardened state of minerals we call rock or crystal. Ancient Chinese polished stones were presented to the emperor as a tribute, twelve stones represented the twelve tribes of Israel, the blarney stone still receives kisses on a daily bases, what fuels our attraction to stones, why do we feel a connection to them, how come they are still after all these years still revered as powerful? I propose that this is because the power is true, the assistance they provide is genuine and the comfort that can ensue in their presence is remarkable, as most oracles their powers are limited to our ability to believe. Many have made claims of all types from healing the body to getting better gas mileage in their car when crystals were properly charged and placed. I assure you if there is a human emotion there is a stone or crystal that enhances or depletes the mood and if not one can be charged in accordance to your needs.

You may ask yourself how could a stone carry energy for myself to benefit from? Knowing a stone is made from the same pool of elements from whence we came as humans we are thus inherently connected to them and just as the artist Michelangelo invested his energy into his art which has thus transmuted back into power and inspiration for generations then and now so is true for the stone and crystal carrying the power and inspiration of their Creator. Stones will inherently have their own powers Humans being superb conductors of Divine influence have the power to build upon, change or charge a stone as needed. These techniques are learned in levels and enhance only through practise.
The energy of the composite of minerals may be anything this to is limited by the imagination and power of the individual. A stone may be found carrying or charged to the emotion of happiness, sadness, anger, bravery, honesty, power, confidence the possibilities are limitless. Some may have experienced an encounter with a stone either being given one or just seeing one and having to pick it up and touch it. This was no chance encounter the stone had energy it had to pass on and you needed to be the recipient at that moment. The most common of use today would be the worry stone. Having this stone with you will protect you from worry and a quick rub or two on it may inspire a smile or kind deed. Many people carry these stone in their pockets so to keep them close for a more powerful connection and better protection although the stones energy can be stored in the minds eye for release in meditation. As powerful as a worry stone can be  do not limit yourself to just the worry stone as said before a stone can carry any and all energy.
Charging a stone or crystal has no set method, the rituals which are widely performed which I will touch upon are handed down from a much older time thus charging the ritual with energy itself, stone or no stone. 

Step 1. You must acquire the stone you wish to charge, keeping in mind that you may find one already fully charged awaiting for you if this is the case you will know from the feeling in the heart, stomach area. Acquiring a stone can be done by hunting one from the wilderness, around the home or purchased from a store. This is of no matter the energy or potential energy is there either way.

Step 2. A very important step. Odds are you are the first to charge this stone in a mystical manner if not this step will ensure it's purpose is for the good of all. Clear your mind of all other images but that you deem closet to that energy. For instances if you want strength an image of Hercules would embody that or a image of love may be that of a mother's first hug of her new born child, an image of wisdom could be Einstein or Pythagoras. Hold this image in your mind while focusing the energy it creates to your left hand which the stone is being held. Usually if your mind is focused this processes should only take 3-5 minutes of meditation.

Step 3. Is an optional step. Cleansing the stone is not always required a stone may be found or purchased in the exact state you want it but if the stone requires cleaning these are some steps you may use but are not limited to. Soaking the stone or crystal in sea salt for 24 hours, rinsing it in a spring, river or tap water, or submerging it in flowers or brown rice have all been methods of cleansing.

Step 4. After cleansing it is best to allow the stone to soak in the sun or moon rays to energize. To increase the charge of said stone allow it to soak on a sacred day such as solstice, equinox, full moon, eclipse and things of this nature.

Step 5. This is the final step and most important of all. Not to worry though b/c you can recharge a stone as many times as needed. You can erase previous energy or build upon it so this allows for the adage practice makes perfect. The easiest method to programing a stone is writing on it. If you are unable to etch in the stone a piece of tape will do and it is unnecessary for the writing to stay on the stone forever but this will not hurt either. The stone will usually take on the written words energy in about 24 hours and no the language does not matter either as God understands them all.

You may as well talk energy into the stone. Create a mantra and repeat each time you see the stone broadcasting that energy to it, do this over and over allowing the stone to hear the mantra at least 50 times but as they say the more the merrier.

Simply holding the stone while focusing on an intended energy is also simple but highly effective and quick. This method requires some peace and quit within and with out as well as the stone, clear your mind to focus on the word or symbol of the energy desirous of charging the stone with, then hold this image for at least 5 minutes directing the energy to the hand which the stone is in. Repeat this 3 times and you the stone should start to project this energy back to you when you see or think about it.

The completed charged stone has become somewhat of a friend to you now and just as you get to know friends better the more time you spend with them so is true with your new stone.
