This week’s blog takes a different approach. Instead of diving into the same topic as our podcast, we’re sharing an inspiring post from High Times by The High Priestess. These posts are some of our favourites at The Strange Apothecary, and we often look to them for ideas. This one, in particular, delves into combining crystals and cannabis during Virgo season – a perfect blend of grounded energy and mystical connection.
The Intersection of Crystals and Cannabis
Crystals, formed deep within the Earth over thousands of years, carry potent energetic messages. Meanwhile, cannabis is celebrated for its ability to heal, uplift, and relax. Combining these two creates a powerful ritual that can deepen your spiritual practice. Whether you’re seeking balance, release, or manifestation, this unique pairing offers a transformative experience.
Virgo Season: A Time for Grounding and Growth
Virgo season encourages self-reflection and balance, asking us to explore our wholeness. Represented by the Maiden, Virgo’s energy is rooted in both masculine and feminine qualities. It’s an ideal time to integrate all aspects of ourselves, and crystals paired with cannabis can help us embrace this energy.
Crystals to Enhance Your Rituals
Rose Quartz: Perfect for fostering self-love and combatting imposter syndrome, this soft pink stone nurtures the heart. Use it to stay open and accepting of yourself.
Onyx and Obsidian: These black stones dispel fear and self-imposed limitations, helping you move confidently through transitions.
Red Jasper and Carnelian: Activate your lower chakras with these fiery stones to fuel creativity and forward movement.
Fluorite: Balance the dual energies of the mind and body, fostering harmony and clarity during moments of overthinking.
Serpentine: Associated with transformation, this green stone aids in shedding old patterns and embracing new perspectives.
Lepidolite: For Virgos prone to overanalysis, this soothing purple crystal helps release control and encourages trust in the universe.
Creating Your Crystal and Cannabis Ritual
Start by selecting a crystal that resonates with your intentions. If possible, use a crystal pipe to literally combine the energies of cannabis and the stone. If not, keep the crystal nearby during your ritual.
- Set Your Intention: Before beginning, reflect on why you’re drawn to this practice. Speak or write down your intention to focus your energy.
- Begin with Cannabis: Whether smoking, vaping, or consuming an edible, allow the plant’s effects to align with the crystal’s vibrations.
- Meditate with the Crystal: Hold your crystal or place it near you as you visualize your energy centres aligning. Focus on your third eye, opening to receive insights.
- Express Gratitude: When you conclude your ritual, thank the Earth for its gifts and embrace the sensations of balance and connection.
Embracing Virgo Energy Year-Round
Even beyond Virgo season, these rituals can be a powerful way to tap into Earth’s grounding energy and inner strength. Crystals and cannabis together offer an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, gain clarity, and manifest your highest potential.
