Sun Charged Stones

Purpose: For energizing yourself when you feel drained.

Items Needed:
River bed stone, one that lies flat and has a flat or slightly rounded
surface on which to paint.
Acrylic paint
Old toothbrush

Find a flattish river bed stone. River bed stones are already charged with energy by the flowing of the water and are in themselves energizing.

Clean with the old toothbrush and warm soapy water to get rid of any dirt that might cause the paint to chip off or peel.

Dry completely, perferably out in the sun.

Once dry, paint an image of the sun. The design needn't be elaborate. A simple circle surrounded by lines is fine.

Allow to dry.

Sun charging: Upon a sunny day, take your stone outside to an open space where it can spend the day soaking up the sun's energies. Set it upon the ground, another rock, or on a table. Say:

Burning Sun, shining bright,
Help remove this sleepy plight.
Bless this stone with energy.
As I will it, so mote it be.

Bring the stone in once the sun begins to go down. Keep on your altar or working area.

Use: Whenever you feel drained, take the stone in your passive hand, opposite your writing hand, relax and feel energy flowing from the stone and into you. Feel the warmth of the Sun envelope you. Energizing you.
