Working with herbs & crystals is an incredible way to make some DIY magic, find balance, and support your spiritual work. Keep reading to discover the best herb & crystal pairings, plus how to make a magical crystal offering bowl for your altar, using herbs and crystal energy!
The uses and correspondences presented here may act as a guide for energetic or magical workings, but using herbs and herbal medicines should never be attempted without appropriate knowledge and guidance from a licensed or certified herbalist or other qualified medical professionals.
Any time you’re working with herbs and crystals it’s important that you make safety a top priority. Many herbs are perfectly safe when used according to the recommendations of a trained professional, but can become dangerous when used improperly. Additionally, you should not handle herbs that you may be allergic to.
Some of my favorite crystal & herb pairings for making magic include:
- BOUNDARIES: Cedar Leaf + Petrified Wood
- CALMING: Chamomile Flower + Lepidolite
- CLEANSING: Yarrow Flower + Selenite
- COMPASSION: Jasmine Flower + Rhodochrosite
- CONFIDENCE: Heather Flower + Pyrite
- CREATIVITY: Rosemary Leaf + Carnelian
- FOCUS: Peppermint Leaf + Golden Tiger’s Eye
- HEALING: Echinacea Root + Green Nephrite Jade
- INTUITION: Mugwort Leaf + Labradorite
- JOY: Calendula Flower + Citrine
- LOVE: Rose Petal + Rose Quartz
- MAGIC: Patchouli Leaf + Rainbow Moonstone
- MEDITATION: Blue Lotus Flower + Amethyst
- PEACE: Passionflower + Blue Lace Agate
- PROSPERITY: Cinnamon Stick (Bark) + Green Aventurine
- PROTECTION: Elderberry Flower + Black Tourmaline
- RELAXATION: Valerian Root + Peach Moonstone
- WISDOM: Bay Leaf + Rainbow Fluorite
One simple way I like to get working with herbs & crystals is by placing them together in an offering bowl on my altar or in my sacred space.
A small amount of the herb placed in a dish makes a nice place to nestle a small stone. I add the herbs to the dish with the intention to call in the energy or magic I am creating. I then place the stone into the dish on top of the herbs which anchors in the energy and intention. One great thing about this practice is the way that the crystal and the herb work together to call in your intention and set the energy in the space. The crystal amplifies the magical qualities and energy of the herb while the herb, in turn, charges the crystal with its energy.
