Misinterpreting the right way to use healing magic Healing magic has always been one of the most sought-after and admired forms of magic. With its ability to mend wounds, cure diseases, and alleviate pain, it is no wonder that healers are often regarded as the most virtuous and valuable members of society. However, while healing magic is undoubtedly a powerful and valuable tool, it is crucial to not misinterpret its true purpose and potential. The main idea of healing magic is to aid in the recovery and well-being of individuals. Its primary function is to restore balance and harmony within the body, mind, and soul. **Unfortunately, many people have misinterpreted this purpose and have begun to rely solely on healing magic to fix all their physical and emotional problems**.
Tools
When using witchcraft supplies such as tools or objects for a spell or ritual it is good to cleanse it beforehand, to rid of any negative energies and prepare it for use. Here are a number of ways to cleanse a tool before use:
Visualization
Holding the crystal in your hands, and visualize it immersed in white light, clearing and cleansing it of negative energy.
Full Moon
Let them sit under a full moon, the light is soft and great for cleansing crystals.
Smoke Cleansing
Use smoke from sacred herbs such as cedar, sweet grass, rosemary, lavender to cleanse the crystals. Use the smoke to pass over the crystal and cleanse it. Be aware, the process of smoke cleansing and smudging are different. Many people and associations have marketed on using white sage for “smudging” to cleanse a home or crystals, even though the practice of smudging is specific and sacred to Native American cultures. Smoke cleansing has been used throughout history in a variety of rituals and religions, while smudging is a practice used in Native American culture and some Native Mexican cultures for specific rituals, life seasons, ceremonies and as a way to honor the land. It is always used as an act of prayer or cleansing. Be conscious of this practice and be respectful. Also with the heavy usage of white sage, the plant is “at risk” . We do not recommend using this plant and to instead use the alternatives listed above.
Running them under running water
Preferably naturally running like a river, rain or a beach. But a tap will work fine if that works for you. Let them dry in sunlight, but make sure to research your stone and see if natural sunlight affects the look and integrity of the stone beforehand.
Rock Salt
Place on a bed of rock salt for 1-2 days to purify
Bury
Bury them in the earth, soil or clay for 2–7 days. It provides a slow and gentle form of cleansing. The longer you leave it the deeper the cleansing.

**Unfortunately, many people have misinterpreted this purpose and have begun to rely solely on healing magic to fix all their physical and emotional problems**. This misinterpretation has led to an overreliance on healing magic, with individuals neglecting their own responsibility for their health and well-being. Instead of taking appropriate measures to prevent illness and injury, people often wait until they are in a dire situation before seeking the help of a healer.
A
altar/workspace
An altar or workspace is typically a piece of furniture like a table or shelf where your ritual tools are kept or displayed. It is a place where you perform rituals or spells. Your altar does not need a permanent location but can be set up to your suit your needs.
Items that can be used with your altar include a cloth to protect the surface from damage by candle wax, candles, incense, athame, chalice, pentacle, cauldron, broom, wand, crystals or other elemental objects and statues of a deity. But use what fits best for your practice and rituals.
To use your altar, make sure whatever surface you are using it is used solely as an altar and not for any other purpose. It also would work best if used in the middle of your ritual circle, usually facing north. It can be positioned for different rituals (such as east for spring, south for summer, west for autumn, and north for winter, etc.) Use your selected objects to center your ritual to your altar. Your altar is your personal space, arrange it how you like and spell cast away.
Amulet
An amulet is an object intended to be used to bring good luck and/or protection to its owner. It can also be an object that holds magical properties to protect against bad luck, illness and evil. It can be used for specific purposes or just for general good luck. Amulets can be gems, crystals, stones, statues, coins, drawings, diagrams, pendants, rings, plants or animals. They can be worn as a necklace or pendant but it is important to just keep it close to your body.
All that is really required for an amulet is an object that is to be the source of your spell to manifest good luck or whatever the intended purpose is. If you are looking into a stone or crystal that are commonly used in amulets, look into the specific significance and power of it to make sure it aligns with your intended purpose. For example, amber wards of evil spirits, aquamarine brings love, etc. If your amulet uses symbols or shapes, be aware that there are many symbols and they have different magical properties. Look into what the shape means beforehand.
To use your amulet, it is important to first make sure it is cleansed so it can properly receive your intention. After it has been cleansed you want to charge it at your altar space, so you can contain the magic and also stay focused. Finally, you charge your amulet, focusing your will on the intention and how it will be brought to fruition. Give thanks, ground yourself, and begin wearing your activated amulet.
Athame
An athame is a very common altar tool. It is usually a double bladed knife with a black handle. But many have adapted to using any kind of knife or blade as their athame. It represents the element of fire (or air, in some traditions) and is used to cast the circle. They are not typically used for cutting or other mundane tasks. There are other blades that are used for cutting things such as herbs or cords.
Athames are used for rituals as previously mentioned. You want to use an athame when working with negative energies, to cut away that energy. You want to keep your blade at the third eye level to stay close to the energy frequencies. And make sure you hold your blade horizontally, not vertically. There are many ways to cut energy depending on the ritual or purpose.

This not only puts unnecessary strain on the healers but also delays the healing process and potentially worsens the condition. Moreover, some individuals have developed a misguided belief that healing magic can solve all their emotional and mental distress. They rely on healers to provide them with quick-fix solutions to their problems without taking the time and effort to address the root causes of their issues. **This mentality not only undermines the true purpose of healing magic but also hinders personal growth and self-improvement**. It is important to remember that healing magic is not a cure-all solution. It should be used in conjunction with other forms of care and treatment. Proper nutrition, exercise, and self-care practices play a vital role in maintaining overall well-being. Additionally, addressing emotional and mental distress requires introspection, therapy, and sometimes even lifestyle changes. In conclusion, while healing magic is undoubtedly a powerful and valuable tool, it is crucial to not misinterpret its true purpose and potential. **Overreliance on healing magic can lead to neglect of personal responsibility and hinder personal growth**. It is essential to use healing magic as a complementary tool in conjunction with other forms of care and treatment for optimal well-being. By understanding the true purpose of healing magic, we can ensure its effective and responsible use for the benefit of all..
