Projective and Receptive Stones




Projective Stones



- correspond to the God aspect, the Sun and the athame
- have active energy which is good for protective magic, improved fortune, strengthening will and increasing success.
- carrying or wearing these stones keeps their energy with you.
- no need to activate power, it constantly radiates.

examples: amber, carnelian, bloodstone, quartz, flint, garnet, tiger's eye, gold, brass, aluminum, pyrite, tin and iron



Receptive Stones



- correspond to the goddess aspect, the moon and the chalice
- they either absorb specific types of energy easily or increase personal receptiveness
- good for magic centered on inner peace, spirituality, banishing anxiety, psychic dreaming and relationships
- work more effectively when activated somehow: holding it, rubbing it, or charging it with an incantation

examples: lace agate, amethyst, beryl, coral, rose quartz, fossils, jade, turquoise, silver, copper, mercury or lead
