Crystals for the new year

The start of a new year frequently motivates us to make changes in our lives and break old habits. The ancient Babylonians started the habit of making New Year's resolutions almost 4000 years ago. Resolutions were also made by the ancient Romans in the form of pledging good deeds to their gods for the next year.

Our modern custom of making New Year's resolutions, on the other hand, is no longer a religious act, but rather a method to better ourselves and our lives. Some call it a New Year's resolution, but I like to call it setting intentions for the next year. We've created a fantastic crystal-based ritual for you to conduct this new year to help you clean out the old and make room for the new, as well as materialise what your heart wishes for the New Year! You may make do with what you have on hand or visit our online crystal store.

The Next Step

Next, make a note of your aims or desires for the new year on a piece of paper. These might be items you wish to attract into your life or goals you want to attain during a specific time frame, such as the coming year. Be as precise as possible. Also, make a list of things for which you are already thankful.

Take your time and concentrate on what you truly require in yourself and your life at this moment. Rather than "wants," the focus should be on "needs." When you're finished, read aloud the intentions you've written on the paper, fold it, and set it on the table or alter.

Begin to arrange your crystals on top of or around the paper in a style that seems instinctively correct to you, keeping your objectives in mind. There are no hard and fast rules.
