Hello everyone, I'm Anna and I'm brand new to the forum and to Paganism in general. I'd been calling myself a Buddhist for many years but this year I discovered Paganism and realized I related to it more than anything (: I'm currently building up a crystal collection and am in the process of setting up my altar (with a Buddha statuette to remind me of my roots!) and am stumbling through the task of making a BoS!
Anyway, I joined this forum to ask about charging my crystals. It's not easy for me to charge them in the sun where I live because my apartment window faces another building so I never get direct sunlight for more than a few minutes in the afternoon. However I do share my life and home with many loving reptiles who have full spectrum lamps installed in their enclosures. For those unfamiliar to the concept, these lamps radiate heat and light that is as close to real sunlight as possible so that the reptiles can enjoy a natural environment and of course gain the necessary energies and vitamins they require. I was wondering if I can charge my crystals under those lamps instead, or does the fact that they're man made make them less authentic?
Also, while we're on the subject I was charging them on my windowsill the other day but accidentally shut the window on my selenite wand! It scraped and chipped the poor thing and I feel absolutely terrible about hurting one of my crystals. Is there anything I can do to soothe what seems to be a rather distressed energy radiating from my wand? I've been very upset about this and can't help feeling as though I've caused her great pain.
Sorry this post is rather long, as I said I'm new and I'll need all the help I can get. I hope to hear from you soon! (:
