Crystals for Tarot & Oracle Card Readings

Crystals and tarot go together like old guys and park benches, rainy days and a good book, Nutella and a spoon.

Whether you’re giving the reading or getting one, crystals always come in handy – not just for the sake of the reading, but for the cards themselves.  Depending on their properties, crystals can bring specific vibes and energy to your readings when you keep them close by. For example, certain crystals can amplify the messages you receive from the reading, or if you’re an empathic tarot reader, you can use a crystal with grounding properties to help block out negative vibes.

Whatever you need – you can pretty much guarantee there’s a crystal for it.  That’s right, crystals are awesome.

Here are some of our favourite crystals to enhance your next reading:

For clarification and understand, Sodalite is the bold and heady catalyst to get you back in touch with your sixth sense, your intuition.  Sodalite is a stone of truth and brings this to all communications and is particularly useful in promoting intelligence, knowledge and learning.  All the better to understand you with my dear.

For keeping your cool when your reading doesn’t go exactly as expected, reach for the Amazonite.  With this baby by your side, you CAN handle the truth, it is first and foremost a stone of loving communication and its crystal healing properties remind us the truth is always worth hearing.

For maintaining courage in the face of things you may not want to hear, a Tiger’s Eye crystal can give you the strength to stop focusing on the negatives and the courage to start living.  This stone’s association with positivity and empowerment make it a great stone to help support making big changes.

For asking the right questions, Blue Lace Agate, the “Stone of Articulation” stimulates the throat chakra and helps you communicate effectively.  BLA brings calm, tranquility, a lessening of anger and a calming of nervousness.  It is considered a happiness stone, as well as one of hope.

For keeping your deck cleansed and free of negative energy, Black Tourmaline works like a super absorbent sponge, soaking up all the negative energy that surrounds it, while Clear Quartz can be programmed for just about anything. Program a Clear Quartz ring or wand with the intention of protecting your Tarot or Oracle deck from any unwanted energies or interference.

For strengthening your Third Eye, Lapis Lazuli is said to create and maintain connections between the physical and celestial planes, intuitive and psychic awareness are energies this stone brings to the fore, helping to awaken our true destiny and divine purpose.   

For helping with focus and intuition when reading, Azurite has a lot of benefits for Tarot and Oracle Card practitioners.  It can be used to lend energy, as well as breaking through limiting thought patterns and negative thinking.

For connecting with your spirit guides, Celestite is a fave.  Bringing calm, harmony and balance to spaces, it is at its most powerful when assisting with connection to angels, spiritual development and the higher self.
