Working with Crystals and the Lunar Cycles: A Gentle Guide

The moon has always been a source of wonder, quietly guiding us through her cycles of growth, release, and renewal. By weaving the moon’s energy into our daily lives, we can align more deeply with our own rhythms and intentions. When combined with the unique vibrations of crystals, this connection becomes even more powerful.

In this blog, I’ll share how to work with crystals alongside the lunar cycles, the types of crystals that can support you during each phase, and how my Crystal of the Month Subscription Box and workshops can guide you in embracing these practices.

At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to ensuring that all the crystals I offer are ethically and responsibly sourced. Every crystal in my shop is hand-selected by me for its beauty, energy, vibration, and low impact, so you can feel confident that the stones you welcome into your life align not only with your intentions but also with the values of care and respect for the Earth.

The Power of the Lunar Cycles

The moon cycles through four main phases each month, each carrying its own unique energy:

• New Moon: A time of rest, reflection, and setting intentions.
• Waxing Moon: A phase of growth, focus, and taking action on your goals.
• Full Moon: A moment of illumination, abundance, and release.
• Waning Moon: A period for letting go, cleansing, and making space for new energy.

When we work with crystals during these phases, we amplify the moon’s natural energy and connect more intentionally with our own journey.

Infusing the Moon’s Energy into My Work

The lunar cycles and seasonal energies inspire everything I do, from the crystals I select for my Crystal of the Month Subscription Box to the rituals and workshops I offer. I also weave in the energy of the Celtic Sabbats, aligning with nature’s rhythm to help you connect more deeply with yourself and the world around you.

Each subscription box is designed to reflect the energy of the upcoming month. For example, February’s box focuses on Self-Love & Connection, featuring Rose Quartz and Pink Opal to support nurturing relationships and self-care. The box also includes:

• Crystals worth at least £30
