Pumpkin-Spice Crystals: The Power of Orange Stones
It's autumn, so it's time to pumpkin-spice everything. Especially pumpkin-spice lattes, which I'm sipping as I edit this newsletter. So it's only appropriate we dedicate this issue to orange stones and crystals. Orange crystals are powerful magical tools, long valued by magicians and spellcasters for their unique qualities.
Orange crystals and stones are projective tools, believed to enhance personal power and increase luck. Combining the aggressive, blood-rich strength of red with the empathetic connective qualities of yellow, orange stones can add power and authority to many magical rituals. They can be used to project and protect, as talismans, to balance out depressed or melancholy moods, to help break a streak of bad luck. Among eclectic hoodoo rootworkers, orange stones and crystals can be incorporated into road opening work.
Amber, orange calcite, citrine, tiger's-eye, orange kyanite, carnelian, wulfenite, orange selenite, and tangerine quartz are a few of the many orange crystals that are easily available, and to fit any budget.
Selecting a stone is very much like adopting a pet. It selects you every bit as much as you select it. Some stones will feel better to you than others, and you may find that you have a natural affinity for certain crystals and stones. Many people like to work with their birthstone, or stones associated with certain planets.
Rocks and crystals are living things, birthed by the living earth. Crystals respond to touch, and they have memory. This is why we can work such wonderful magic with their assistance. It's important to enter a respectful relationship with your stone and understand its nature. Orange stones have a different "feel" - a different personality - than blue or green stones, for example. Over time, you can even learn to distinguish the different energy signatures between two seemingly identical stones of the same color, based solely on the energy "memory" stored within.
Connecting with your stone is a process you can learn quickly. Hold the stone in your hand and curl your fingers around it. Take a few deep breaths, centering your thoughts into the stone, feeling for its energy center. The stone will begin to warm to your touch, and you may begin to feel a low throbbing. Speak to the stone, either silently or out loud, asking for its assistance. In the case of an orange stone, you reach out to it and listen for its response. It may not answer in words, but in feelings or images. There should be a "click," a coming together, a feeling of connection.
Once you and your orange stone have connected, you're ready to work together!

Spells, Protection Work, Prayer and Projection with Orange Stones
Cleansing Stones and Crystals
I mentioned before that stones have a memory. There are three traditional ways to cleanse stones of past conditions: By letting the sun shine on them for a day, by placing them in running water for a day, or by burying them in the earth for a day. Selenite can be cleansed by exposing the crystal to the moon's beams overnight. Other, less common but just as traditional ways to cleanse stones involve bathing them in Hoyt's Cologne, whiskey or other spirits, or Florida or other scented waters.
Stones can also be cleansed by smoking them in Uncrossing incense or performing Uncrossing work on them. Some people cleanse stones with their own positive personal energy, by holding them in their hands, and projecting powerful energies through the stone. This also "attunes" the stone to your personal touch.
Protective Spell with Amber
Amber is
one of the more versatile of the orange stones. Since it is
translucent, it can be used as a medium for Visionary or Scrying exercises, as taught by Mr. Claude Alexander Conlin. Amber is used in many protection spells, and it is also believed to strengthen the effectiveness of magical rituals.
If you believe, or it has been revealed through divination, that you're under crossed conditions, you can make a powerful talisman from a piece of amber. You need:
- A piece of amber
- A 6" orange candle
- Crossroads dirt
- A glass of spring water
- Lucky Mojo Uncrossing oil
- Lucky Mojo Uncrossing incense
Make a mound of the crossroads dirt on a plate and bury the amber beneath it after dressing it with the Uncrossing oil. Place the orange candle in the center of the mound of dirt. You may need a small candle stand to do this safely. Dress the orange candle with Lucky Mojo Uncrossing oil and light it. As the candle burns, recite one of these Psalms appropriate to your condition:
- Psalms 3 verse 3: But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter of my head.
- Psalms 70 verse 2: Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward, and put into confusion, that desire my hurt.
- Psalms 23 verse 4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
When the candle has finished burning, light the incense and thoroughly smoke the piece of amber, then rinse it in the spring water. Carry the amber talisman with you for protection from negative energies or attempts to throw on you.
Projection and Prayer Exercise with Tigers Eye:
As taught by Mr. Claude Alexander Conlin, crystals are used to project our prayers and thoughts. Polished Tiger's eye stones and spheres are tassociated with wealth, money and personal protection, so these are excellent areas of focus for your mental projections, or "codes," as Mr. Conlin termed them. Here's a simple projection exercise using a tiger's eye:
- Sit comfortably in a quiet room where you won't be interrupted.
- Hold the tiger's eye in your hand.
- Focus your thoughts on the tiger's eye as you take three deep, slow breaths.
- Phrase your projected desires in the present tense:
"I am prosperous and successful. I have sufficient resources and generosity to meet my needs and help others. I am happy at my ideal job and appreciated in my profession."
- If projecting prayers for another, the same idea applies: "John, hear me now. You are happy, successful, and prosperous. You are happy at your ideal profession and admired by your co-workers. You're being promoting rapidly to positions of greater responsibilities and increased salary."
Repeat these affirmations as necessary to achieve your desired result.
