I had a couple of people ask about the crystal grid I've been putting together to try and boost my creativity. This is something of a first draft; I freely admit I know nothing about grids beyond what I've learned from the internet, have never seen one in person, and can't feel energy from crystals so I have no way of knowing for certain if this is even working. We'll just have to see over time.
Stones used:
Vanadinite (on barite matrix) center specimen
Carnelian (3 - 1" hearts)
Sunstone (3 wands averaging 1 1/2")
Clear quartz (3 wands averaging 1")
Tiger's Eye chips as a base (about 1/2 pound xxmini size)
One pebble with "Create" on it from a collection of little "word stones"
All materials were chosen after a lot of searching on good crystals for removing creative blocks or promoting general creativity. Vanadinite is especially good for writers.
Already, I know there are changes I want to make. More tiger's eye, in a larger chip size, is in the mail. The xxmini size was smaller than I expected, very tiny flakes, so I'll mix in the larger size that's more like aquarium gravel. I'd like to find some double terminated clear quartz (or herkimer diamonds in a decent size) instead of the current wands. And it needs some untreated natural citrine or smoky citrine.
I opted to work in 3s--most grids I've seen tend to use the flower of life pattern and often use 6 of each stone. Aside from cost and the size of my dish, that just didn't feel right. Maybe because 3=Empress in my head and the mother of all things creative, maybe because most of the triangular grids I saw online used the Celtic triquetra as a base, and I tend to be attracted to that side of my heritage? I don't know.
The grid sits on a corner of my desk, as do most of my other stones. The Artisan of Wheels card pictured is from the Sacred Bridges tarot, and came in a package from our own MoonGypsy. When I looked up the meaning of that card, it was natural as a focus for the grid, so it is placed beneath the dish. I have a few readings/images I may print out later and tuck under there as well, all related to my potential in this area.
I think this is a good start. It feels right so far, if not quite complete yet. I feel like the additions I have planned might "turbo charge" it, but that it's a decent foundation for channeling creative energy even as it currently is built.
Recommendations, advice, or just a bit of positive energy sent to the grid would be welcome!
(More pics coming, can only seem to load one from the ipad, so it'll take a few...)
