Life is sometimes like a fairytale - there we are, facing and entering the dark woods. Big transitions, voyages, epiphanies, the shedding of skin, initiations, epic unknowns as we recover inner knowing. Moments or stretches in time that are significant to our identities and life paths.
Each day, though, we come across other thresholds, maybe less dramatic, choosing which gateway to cross through, which path to walk along, which door to approach. Maybe these decisions won't turn our worlds upside down, but they are still the moments, too, that culminate into a life.
Whether facing the (nearly) mystic journey or the (seeming) mundane, smoky quartz is a lovely and useful companion for exploring the new that each choice brings.
Smoky quartz is readily available, yet that doesn't lessen the fact that each piece feels like a world of mystery and wonder to me, itself almost another doorway to cross through as we lean into the stone for support with others.
Smoky quartz is well known for being grounding and protective with the ability to transmute anything that feels heavy and unaligned. In The Encyclopedia of Crystals, Judy Hall says that smoky quartz also "helps tolerate difficult times with equanimity, fortifying resolve."
Blessed journeying! ♡
