In Wicca, gemstones are often used as magical talismans. Throughout the ages, certain gemstones have been attributed with specific energies and properties. They can be charged for a specific purpose and placed on the altar during ritual, or carried with you to bring their energies into your life. Often they are combined with herbs and oils and placed in a charm bag. This list is a sampling of some of the gemstones available at Willow Grove and some of their specific energies.
