Crystals are more than just beautiful stones — they are nature’s pure energy forms that have been cherished for centuries for their healing, protection, and spiritual power. Across cultures and civilizations, crystals have played a sacred role in helping humans balance emotions, cleanse energies, and connect with the Divine.
At Durga Tarot, we believe that every crystal carries a unique vibration that supports your soul’s journey — guiding you toward calmness, clarity, and growth.
🌍 A Glimpse into the History of Crystal Healing
Crystal healing is an ancient practice that views stones as energy conduits — amplifying healing vibrations, clearing emotional blocks, and aligning chakras. Let’s explore how different civilizations embraced their power:
- Egypt: Pharaohs wore Lapis Lazuli, Turquoise, and Carnelian for protection, strength, and divine favor.
- Mesopotamia: People used stones in amulets and rituals to ward off evil and attract blessings.
- India: Gemstones were integrated into Ayurveda and Chakra Healing, symbolizing balance and vitality.
- China: Jade was revered for purity, wisdom, and longevity.
- Greece & Rome: The word crystal comes from the Greek krustallos meaning “frozen light.” Amethyst was used to promote sobriety and inner peace.
Even today, these traditions continue through the modern New Age movement, where crystals are valued for their role in emotional healing, mindfulness, and spiritual awakening.

🌕 How to Cleanse & Charge Your Crystals
To keep your crystals energetically active and pure:
- Cleanse – Remove stagnant energy using:
- Smoke (sage, incense, or palo santo)
- Sound (bells, chanting, or singing bowls)
- Water (only for water-safe crystals; avoid for selenite)
- Selenite plate (place your crystals on it overnight)
- Charge – Once cleansed, charge them under:
- Full Moonlight: Place your crystals where they receive soft moonlight — a balcony, terrace, or windowsill. Cover with a thin cloth if outdoors. Leave them for 4–6 hours.
- Sunlight: For stones like Citrine or Carnelian, morning sunlight for 1–2 hours is ideal.
- Intention: Hold your crystal and set your purpose — what you wish it to bring into your life.
