Gemstones & Herbs for Developing Your Psychic Abilities

We’re all born with psychic abilities, but sometimes we want help tapping into them. Two of the easiest and most accessible tools for developing your psychic abilities are gemstones and herbs. Here’s a list of both that will help you strengthen your intuition, practice divination, enhance your dream magick practice, and more.

Gemstones for Developing Your Psychic Abilities

Amethyst

Amethyst activates spiritual awareness, opens intuition, and enhances psychic abilities. It has strong healing and cleansing powers, as it calms and stimulates the mind, helping you become more focused, enhancing memory, and improving motivation. Amethyst also assists in remembering and understanding dreams and can relieve insomnia

Apophyllite

Apophyllite activates and unites the Third Eye and Crown Chakras to aid in easier connection with your higher self. It facilitates astral travel, clairvoyance, divination, and obtaining messages from the other side. Apophyllite is one of the best stones for spirit contact, so placing an apophyllite cluster in the center of your séance, ancestral altar, or spirit-contact spellworking will help bridge the gap between the worlds.

Blue Calcite

Blue Calcite is an extremely calming gemstone. It promotes a peaceful atmosphere, a healing energy flow, and purifies a space of negative energy. Blue Calcite resonates with the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, helping facilitate communication of messages received during divination, from your higher self or spirit guides.

Fluorite

This stone helps support mental clarity, so messages come through easily. It’s also an extremely stabilizing gemstone, helping to keep you grounded while you explore your intuitive and psychic gifts. Fluorite will also help you discern your actual intuition and your imagination.

Labradorite

Labradorite helps awaken your inner wisdom, strengthen your telepathy, and enhance your psychic vision. It’s a stone of transformation and helps reveal hidden truths. It also makes you “invisible” to psychic attacks, so they pass you by.

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli is a stone of protection that may be used to guard against psychic attacks. It quickly releases stress, bringing deep peace. Lapis Lazuli encourages self-awareness and self-expression, and resonates with the Third Eye and Throat Chakras, facilitating clarity of mind and spirit communication. 

Smoky Quartz

Smoky Quartz is a high vibration, high-frequency stone. It creates a direct link with the Divine and opens up your crown chakra to accept the knowledge that flows in you from the Divine. It is a powerful stone for initiating change and works quickly.

 

Herbs for Developing Your Psychic Abilities

Catnip

Catnip protects you during intuitive practices and also inspires the energies of happiness, luck, harmony, and attraction.

Dandelion

Dandelion boosts your psychic abilities and aids in spirit communication. It’s also great for cleansing and making wishes.

Hibiscus

Hibiscus is known for supporting divination as well as inviting love and passion into your life. Dried Hibiscus petals kept near your bed can boost your dream magick and encourage prophetic dreams.

Jasmine

Jasmine helps with dream recall and your lucid dreaming practice. Burn it on a charcoal disc or drink Jasmine tea when scrying or pulling cards for enhanced intuition.

Lavender

In addition to its calming properties, Lavender also helps bring protection, purification, and healing. Use it along with any sleep or dream magick rituals to help you settle into sleep and interpret the messages easily.

Marigold

Marigold is another herb that can help promote prophetic dreams. It’s great for bringing clarity around a situation or promoting visions around truth or love.

Mugwort

Mugwort is well known for helping witches connect with their psychic abilities, tap into their dreams, practice divination, and enhance spirit communication. It’s also highly protective, which is a must-have for working with your psychic abilities.

Peppermint

Use Peppermint for protection and purification before your divination practice, or drink peppermint tea to help you tap into your Third Eye. It’s also very clarifying and brings prosperity and luck.

Vervain

Vervain helps promote wealth and love, as well as psychic development and protection. It’s a great herb for purification as well, so burn some before you go into a psychic meditation.

Wormwood

The infamous liquor, absinthe, is crafted from wormwood and is known for conjuring images and thoughts from the otherworld. It’s a great herb for psychic development, protection, and divination, as well as exorcism and banishing.

How to Work with Gemstones & Herbs in Your Psychic Practice

Choose one herb or one gemstone, based on their properties. You might find a favorite right off the bat! Experiment with different combinations of herbs for a smoke cleanse blend or for tea (if using culinary herbs!). Carry one of these gemstones with you to see how your intuition responds to situations throughout the day.

And, as always, have fun with it! YOU are the magick. The gemstones and herbs are just here to help you tap into that magick easier.

Stay magickal,
