Stones

Ye of the earth,
brought forth for your virtue.
Stand as the foundation of my rite.

Shimmer and amaze,
in stillness ever vibrant.
Grant substance unto my spell.

Substantial and strong,
pliant yet unyielding.
Fortify my craft.

Stones and natural materials provide a connection to Nature through the magickal powers contained within. Using them in spells allows their influences to be incorporated, thus enhancing the desired effects.

All stones and metals have a grounding, stabilizing effect and can be used in constructive or destructive ways according to their associations and relative to the intent of the practitioner. They work by focusing and amplifying the power of Nature and spell work, so it is ever important to keep the intent firmly in mind.
