Purnima ritual: charge your crystals
- Cleanse first — smoke (loban, camphor), sound or a selenite plate.
- Place stones where they will see the moon: windowsill, balcony or garden. No water needed.
- Set one intention per stone; chanting Om Shraam Shreem Shraum Sah Chandraya Namah 108 times honours Chandra.
- Collect sun-sensitive stones (amethyst, rose quartz, citrine) before harsh morning light.
Amavasya ritual: cleanse and release
Amavasya is not a charging night. Cleanse the stones you wore through a heavy month and write down what you want to let go of; keep black tourmaline or amethyst on the list overnight. Full method-by-method safety is in how to cleanse and energise crystals.
