Healing white crystal

Here is a crystal, a simple milky quartz, filled with energy and light, forged in nature itself, it's beauty is like a star, and is common as water, less valued than a diamond but more powerful than gold. It can cause harm to no one. Yet it's used to defeat evil, and instil memories, focus on remembering dreams and make past faint events clearer to the mind. Milky quartz is a physical cloud of the heavens, born deep within the earth's soil, and it summons no bad entities or used in malice, although it can protect and shield from harm, danger and spitefulness.

The moon itself has entered a last phase of January the other night, a moon that is a reflection of light, with a dark side. This milky crystal can enhance the magic of the moon by helping to protect against evil and danger.

The nature of the crystal is similar to moonlight. 

A time of Winter, snow and storm, a waning wolf moon, brings with it a new beginning and lighter days ahead. It will be natural and not in anger. The force of the moon and sun is familiar and more powerful than the deeds of humanity. The sky and Earth together can help protect all living things against anger, danger and evil. Kindness is a powerful tool. Sharing and giving, nurturing and healing. Give love and compassion to animals and this will strengthen love and the power of the crystal healing. The moon and sun observes human behaviour and it's awful impact on other creatures. 

The play of the fox, the flight of birds, the bedrests of hibernating creatures, the swim of marine animals too, is all part of the Earth as well as humanity, but sadly most people have forgot nature. It is why there are many wars and too much damage to the land and sea. It takes just one person, from a child to an elderly human to feel love, compassion, kindness and empathy towards animals and plants, including trees. Trees, water and air gives life. The crystal that is reflection and energy, can heal and expel evil and danger. 

The minor little quartz can help feed healing and good feelings brought on by restored memories and health. Humans have been sick too long as a species, but individuals remember nature and more need to grow to put evil and danger at bay, and overcome it.

Hellebore, January flower

The most common wild species of flower to grow in January is the hellebore. It's other name is "winter rose" because it looks similar in shape. They come in many varieties and is an evergreen. 

Across Europe and the British Isles is a native green hellebore (helleborus viridis) that appears in January in the wilds, then flowers later. It looks like a green flower, which adds colour to the grey soil of a wintry landscape. Many more hellebores can be found on the Wikipedia page: Hellebore

Hellebore's have sepals that come in different colours and shades. Despite the title "rose" given to these plants, hellebores are not related to the rose family.

They're quite poisonous and more harmful to dogs. Gardeners Path explains more about the effects on animals that eat these plants: Toxic hellebore

Hellebores are associated with healing. Hippocrates, the Greek philosopher, cultivated hellebore's to use in medicine. In folklore, hellebore plants have been used to protect against evil spirits. 

Here is an interesting page all about the hellebore found on Magickal site: Hellebore
