The Gemstone Reset Spell─Commentary

*Because I wasn't able to post during the May Full Moon, as scheduled, I shall have two June posts to make up for it.

*Please refer to The Gemstone Reset Spell


I became a fan of gemstones only recently, being introduced to them by my friend and shaman Mark. He gave me my first set of stones. He also told me to wash them first over running water before I could claim them as my own. This forced me to create The Gemstone Reset Spell.

The purpose of washing the stones over running water was to cleanse it of any energy it still retained from its previous owner. Comparable to being given a used laptop, the new owner must first delete all the files, or reformat the entire thing, if possible. It would be best to have all the stones' energy come from you, the new owner. Theoretically, even running water from a tap will do, but I decided to use the biggest body of moving water in the world─the sea. Technically even a river would be as effective, but it'd be better if it was a mighty river, like the Agno, or the Marikina River. For maximum manna, you should use a mighty river, or the sea.

I added the element of burning them in the sun first, to satisfy the element of Fire. Then I also added the step of letting live ants crawl over the stones, to satisfy the element of Life. There are other ways to acquire these elements, and imagination is your only limitation. But of course, more experienced spellcasters will have more creative and more powerful ways of selecting manna.

Spell type: Out-Obj
Pref: Out-AM

Equipment:
Live ants (Li)
Running water (Wa)
Sun (Fi)
Gemstones (Ea)
Own breath (Wi)
Cloth


Go near the edge of the water. Lay down the piece of cloth. Face the sun. Hold the gemstone in your casting. Say the first incantation.
Fires of the sun
Burn this (Turquoise)
And may its energy
Dry up and shrivel.

After muttering the incantation, lay down the stone on the piece of cloth, so that it soaks up the sun. Repeat if you have more than one stone, but make sure that when you lay your several stones on the cloth, their shadows do not fall on any of the other stones. Leave the stones for ten (10) minutes under the sun.

After ten (10) mins, pick up your stones (in the order they were lain down on the cloth), then take them to the running water. Hold the stone in your hand, then speak the second incantation.
Waters of the (South China)
Wash over this (Turquoise)
That it be cleansed of its memory
And its energy reset
And begin a new life
With me.

Then hold the stone and let the running water wash over it. Repeat for other stones, maintaining the same sequence.

Take the stones where there are live ants. Mutter the third incantation.
Majestic ants
Guardians of the earth
Pass over this (Turquoise)
And give it life.

Then place the gemstone along the ants' path. Make sure that live ants actually pass over the gemstone and make contact. Repeat for the other stones, maintaining the same sequence. Leave them on the ants' path for ten (10) minutes before picking them up.
