I’ve always loved working with crystals. Having them around your home or living space, wearing them, keeping small stones in your purse or bag, iis such an easy way to incorporate the magic of crystals into your daily life. If you’re new to witchcraft, crystals are the perfect tool to start with.
💎 1 — Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz to me is like the OG crystal. You can snag a few for pretty cheap, and they have all sorts of amazing uses, so I always recommend every new witch grab a clear quartz. It amplifies energy, heals, clears focus, and is the perfect stone to start using when you’re first getting started on your witchcraft journey.
Magical properties:
-
Amplifies intention, energy, and the power of other stones
-
Clears mental fog and energetic blockages
-
Helps with focus, manifestation, and divine connection
-
Acts as a “reset” stone—perfect for cleansing and recharging other crystals
🌫️ 2 — Smoky Quartz
Now that we discussed clear quartz, it’s time to talk about its smoky sister. Smoky Quartz is more of a stabilizer, where clear quartz heals and refines. Use Smoky Quartz to clear out negative energy.
Magical properties:
-
Transmutes negative energy into grounded calm
-
Offers psychic protection and emotional detox
-
Helps release fear, anger, or sadness gently
-
Strengthens resilience during stress or transformation
🌙 3 — Moonstone
Now that we have cleared and centered, it’s time to connect and that is what Moonstone is. A beautiful white, iridescent stone, Moonstone helps center and calm your energy, connecting you to your intuition and higher self.
Magical properties:
-
Enhances intuition, dreams, and psychic connection
-
Supports emotional healing and inner harmony
-
Encourages new beginnings and cycles (especially during moon phases)
-
Deeply connected to goddess and lunar energy
💜 4 — Amethyst
On your journey in witchcraft, you will need to start using psychic protection to shield your energy from anything you don’t want influencing it. That’s where Amethyst comes in. This purple stone will act as a defender for you and is perfect to wear as a necklace or earrings.
Magical properties:
-
Guards against psychic attack and negative influence
-
Promotes restful sleep and vivid dreams
-
Strengthens intuition, meditation, and spiritual connection
-
Excellent for breaking bad habits or calming the mind
💗 5 — Rose Quartz
The stone of love, or in this case, self-love. So many first-time witches come into the craft needing to heal from the mechanics of the world telling them they are not worthy of love. Let me tell you, not only are you worthy, but you are amazing. And this stone is just a little reminder of that.
Magical properties:
-
Attracts love in all forms—self, romantic, platonic
-
Opens the heart and releases emotional wounds
-
Encourages forgiveness and self-acceptance
-
Promotes peace, harmony, and gentle healing
