Yesterday I
went shopping with M. to our local New
Age Shop. I felt in the mood to look for one or two crystals as an addition to
my Crystal Family. I do have quite a nice collection of crystals. Some tumbled,
some rough and some bracelets and pendants but just like collecting tarot decks, there is
always room for another addition.
A while ago I was so clumsy to break my Rose Quartz donut and I really missed having a
smooth larger piece of Rose Quartz. It is my go to stone for Self Love.
The
other crystal I've been looking for was
a Snowflake Obsidian. This is a crystal which is great for shadow work and
balancing the darker en lighter aspects of yourself. This stone is softer and
more gentle to work with than a Black Obsidian.
It reminds me of the Goddess Holle, a
Germanic Mother goddess who encompasses an all round image of the Feminine
Divine: from Spring goddess to death goddess and everything in between. Her memory
is kept alive in the fairy tale of mother
Holle who shakes her feather bed to let it snow on earth.
I did
find both of these crystals which made me so very happy. Last night I let them
sit on my altar in an Abalone shell with a few Citrine tumbled rocks and Clear Quartz
chips to cleanse them . So today they are really mine and all ready to be
making their first appearance on my blog.
I've found a lovely little wooden treasure chest where they fit in together perfectly. Our little gnome is taking his task to protect them very seriously.....
