Charging and Cleansing Pyrite

To ensure that your pyrite maintains its vibrational energy, it's essential to regularly charge and cleanse it. This is particularly necessary when you first acquire the stone and then every 2-4 weeks thereafter, depending on usage. Here are guidelines for various cleansing and charging methods:

1. Full Moon (my personal favorite)

• Method: Place the stone under moonlight.
• Source: Set the stone on a windowsill or an outdoor area that will catch the moon's rays.
• Duration: Leave it out from twilight until early morning before sunlight.

2. Sound

• Method: Use sound vibrations to charge the stone.
• Source: Use Tibetan bells, singing bowls, or tuning forks.
• Duration: Surround the stone with sound for about 10 minutes.
• Note: This is especially useful for large stones or multiple stones at once without having to move them from their places in your collection.

3. Charging Stones

• Method: Position the stone on or near a charging crystal.
• Source: Use Selenite wands/charging plates.
• Duration: Smaller stones may need a few minutes, while larger stones benefit from at least 24 hours.

4. Smudging

• Method: Smoke from sage or cleansing incense/smudge stick of choice.
• Source: Light an incense stick or a smudge stick, then gently wave it in a counterclockwise motion so that the smoke envelops the crystal.
• Duration: Only a few moments should be enough to cleanse smaller stones.
• Note: Always be careful when using fire. This method may prove difficult with larger stones.

5. Earth

• Method: Burying the stone in soil.
• Source: Bury the stone completely in soil outside (make sure it isn’t raining!).
• Duration: Leave the stone in the earth for 24-48 hours. After removal from the soil, clean the stone in cold water and immediately dry it with a soft cloth.
