Sure, spirits, spells, and astral mishaps seem like more pressing dangers than things in our physical reality but there are some dangers involved in practicing the craft that are often overlooked.

Stones and crystals are a huge part of my craft. I carry them in my pockets, meticulously place them on my altar, and, in all honesty, spend way too much money shopping for them online. I love working with stones and, maybe most importantly, I find them very effective. After about a year of experimenting, I finally came up with my own stone set and today, I’d like to showcase the stones that I’ve found add more power to spells.

I don’t want a rune to be “unknown.” I don’t want to put a rune on my altar that, according to one book, means success and according to an online source means masculine energy.

In order to cut the confusion I created my own set of symbols and now you can too!
