I love crystals. I've been using them for years to help heal myself and my clients, and they're a great way to bring in energy from the universe. With so many different types of stones out there, it can be hard to know which ones are best for your needs. That's why I've put together this list of five crystals every new witch should know:

Moonstone

This gemstone is associated with the moon, and it is perfect for those who work with lunar energy. Moonstone is a stone of intuition, connection, and self-awareness. It can help you connect with the goddess within yourself and align your inner wisdom with the divine.

It’s also thought to be a stone of the heart, which makes it perfect for anyone who is embarking on a new journey or starting fresh. It’s a stone of new beginnings, helping you to let go of the past and embrace the future. If you're looking for clarity in your life or need guidance as you embark on your own spiritual path, this might just be what you're looking for!

Rose Quartz

Rose quartz is the stone of unconditional love. It’s also associated with the heart chakra and its soft pink color represents love, compassion, and gentleness. Rose quartz brings a sense of peace and calm to those who hold it or sleep near it at night.

This stone works especially well in rituals involving emotional healing since it can help one learn how to forgive themselves for mistakes made in the past. It is also a great stone for new witches who are learning about themselves for the first time because rose quartz helps them realize that they deserve love just as much as anyone else does!

Citrine

Citrine is a crystal of the sun, bringing light into darkness. It helps you to be more aware of your own power, and to be more assertive. Citrine is an excellent crystal for witches who are working to manifest abundance and prosperity in their lives.

Citrine is associated with the element of fire, making it useful in spells and rituals involving motivation and willpower. This stone can be used to boost creativity, success, or wealth-drawing spells by placing it on your altar or under your pillow at night.

Black Tourmaline

Black tourmaline is a very powerful protection stone, and it’s great for grounding and centering yourself. It repels negative energy of all kinds. Black Tourmaline can be used to protect against electromagnetic radiation from computers, cell phones, microwaves, etc.

Black tourmaline is an excellent stone for protection against psychic attacks as well as negative energy of all kinds. If you wear black tourmaline jewelry close to your heart it will help shield you from any harmful outside influences or negativity that may be directed at you.

If black tourmaline is being used by someone else against you (i.e., if someone throws an evil eye upon you) then placing the stone under your pillow at night will prevent them from succeeding in harming you with their evil intentions!

Amethyst

Amethyst is a light purple variety of quartz, meaning it's not just for new witches—it’s also considered a stone of protection, inspiration, and meditation. Amethyst comes from the Greek word "amethustos," which translates to “not intoxicated." It was believed that those who drank from cups made with this stone were protected from drunkenness.

Amethyst has long been a popular choice for self-care because it's said to be helpful in promoting relaxation and stress relief. It's also said to be beneficial in aiding in sleep and reducing anxiety through meditation (though you should always speak with your doctor before making any changes to your current medications).

Connecting with crystals can be a great way to center yourself and find your power.

Crystals are natural energy conductors, which means that they absorb, store and emit energy—and this makes them a powerful tool for witches. Crystals are also said to be conductors of cosmic energy or universal source energy that exists in every living thing on Earth. By connecting with the energies of crystals and other natural objects (like fire), you're able to tap into their blessings as well as their healing properties.

Once you start using crystals regularly, watch how quickly they become an extension of who you are! The more time you spend absorbing their vibrations into your body (not just looking at them), the stronger your connection will become over time.

We hope this article has convinced you of the power of crystals to help you connect with yourself and your surroundings. There are so many beautiful stones to choose from, it's hard to know where to start! We recommend starting with one or two crystals that resonate with you before diving into more complicated collections. Just remember: if something doesn't feel right, don't force it!
