It’s February, and in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s cold
enough to freeze the water on the birdbath and my eyelashes to my face. Spring
seems very far off, no matter what the groundhog has to say about the matter. I
like to remember the beautiful warmth of sunshine with citrine.
Citrine is a remarkable stone. The lore associated with it
involves prosperity, creativity, and light. I keep a piece on my desk for
mental clarity, and one on my altar for prosperity. I try to tuck a nugget of
it in my box of stones, as it never needs clearing or cleansing. I personally
think it helps to keep other stones clear and crisp. This particularly zingy
double-terminated wand, one of my favorite stones, gets a lot of use drawing
magic circles and drawing the quarters. The double termination reminds me of
the “as above, so below” principle of alchemy, and I like having a few
double-terminated crystals around to symbolize that link between earth and sky.
For long winter nights like these, I like to put a piece in
a hot bath with a handful of Epsom salts and some citrus-y essential oils. I
light a yellow candle, sink up to my neck, and imagine soaking in a pool in
August.
How do you remember sunshine during these cold days? Are
there things that always remind you of sunshine?
With love and light,
"Belle"
