Moonstone and Witchcraft
Moonstone is a beautiful iridescent stone with a pearly sheen. Witches hold it in high esteem because it's associated with the moon and the full moon in particular. The silvery luster of moonstones change, however, depending on the light, so it also reflects the waxing and waning moon.
It's not a rare crystal, but big stones of high quality are not easy to get. For the most part, you'll find smaller stones readily available. Moonstone naturally occurs in Australia, Brazil, Madagascar, Myanmar and India, where the only colored Moonstones occur.
The rest yield white stones only. Colored stones from India (where they're highly revered) include blue, grey, peach and a rainbow variety that reflects light like a prism.
Main Properties
Different cultures attach various meanings to moonstones, but specific universal properties are widely recognized.
The most significant is its connection with the moon and the feminine. It holds the power of the unknown and the mystery of life. We can use its powers to discover our own subconscious truths, journey into the soul and also to venture beyond the veil.
Moonstone is also widely regarded as a stone of protection, especially when traveling at night.
In many cultures, it's been used as a talisman by travelers for centuries. Artifacts of protective moonstone jewelry and amulets have been found in settlements inhabited by the Romans, nomads who traveled in caravans to trade and seafaring nations who traveled by ship for war and trade.
How you can use Moonstone
You can wear it as jewelry to draw on its properties, use it in spellcraft, rituals and also in healing. If you practice moon magic or align your lifestyle with the cycles of the moon, then moonstone is your perfect companion.
Jewelry: wear moonstone after spells and rituals for fertility, fidelity, strengthening new love, protection, self-discovery, self-improvement, psychic development and dream work. Carry moonstone in your luggage if you're traveling and also keep a stone in your car to keep you safe and ward off any road rage.
Spellcraft and rituals: bring moonstone in to strengthen intentions that have a feminine connotation, are connected with any moon cycle, involve the circle of life and are related to protection and self-development. Moonstone is also very effective in spells related to improved creativity, empathy, acceptance and compassion.
Healing: moonstone increases fertility, encourages healthy pregnancy, eases childbirth, improves menstrual health, boosts libido and eases the symptoms of menopause. It also has a calming effect, improves sleep and can be used to alleviate anxiety and night fears in adults and children. It works well as a growth stone for children and teens, and to slow down degenerative conditions of vital organs as well as hair, skin and nails. You can use moonstone in chakra meditation for cleaning, balancing and realignment.
Moonstone and the Crown Chakra
All colors of moonstone are associated with the crown chakra, which is the portal between the physical body, our higher self, the world of spirit, the universe and the divine. The crown chakra influences our thinking and how we perceive and respond to the physical world. It is a source of strength and guidance as well as intuition, imagination and creativity.
Through the crown chakra, we can balance all our other energy centers. A crown chakra that's out of balance or blocked, however, can cause anxiety, disconnectedness, obsession, a lack of direction, and a feeling of isolation. It can manifest in the body as recurring headaches, nerve pain, delusion or psychosis, fatigue, insomnia and depression.

Unresolved Emotional Pain
All colors of moonstone are associated with the crown chakra, which is the portal between the physical body, our higher self, the world of spirit, the universe and the divine. The crown chakra influences our thinking and how we perceive and respond to the physical world. It is a source of strength and guidance as well as intuition, imagination and creativity.

A crown chakra that's out of balance or blocked, however, can cause anxiety, disconnectedness, obsession, a lack of direction, and a feeling of isolation. It can manifest in the body as recurring headaches, nerve pain, delusion or psychosis, fatigue, insomnia and depression.
Current and past hurts and stress can lead to an unbalanced or blocked crown chakra. Emotional pain caused by life events, including relationships or chronic illness, is one of the main reasons. Fear, bad memories, negative mental conditioning and overthinking can impact your crown chakra.
You could be going through a tough time, so you’re aware of your emotional pain. Or you could be suppressing past hurts to a point where you’re no longer consciously aware of them. Either way, symptoms will manifest that will influence your quality of life.

- A constant low level of anxiety and depression.
- Allowing yourself to be used or abused because you feel unworthy.
- A constant low level of anxiety and depression.
- Feeling out of place or as if you don’t belong.
- Deteriorating personal relationships and friendships.
- Allowing yourself to be used or abused because you feel unworthy.
- Heightened awareness and persistent low-level fear (survival mode).
Why Does This Happen?
Trauma is the most common cause, but mental conditioning can also be a reason. Going through a breakup, losing your job or home, being diagnosed with a chronic condition or the death of a loved one can affect the crown chakra negatively. This is because of the shock and stress of what we’re going through cause us to shut down emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
We can, however, slowly be eroded by toxic relationships, constant criticism and ongoing verbal or physical abuse. It often occurs in childhood when a parent or close caregiver continuously puts us down, deals out unreasonable punishment or favors one child over another. This kind of abuse can be very subtle, but it has a massive impact on a child's developing personality and self-esteem because it causes an endless, low-level trauma.
Recovery form any trauma is a process, not an event. There’s no one single spell, ritual or elixir that’s going to get you standing tall suddenly. You have to unpack the facts, examine them, understand them, learn from them and then pack them away in a healthy manner. We can’t let go of trauma completely because we’ll always remember, but when we process events correctly, they become a source of wisdom rather than pain.
Moonstone is an excellent crystal to guide you through healing and recovery by giving you the strength and courage to face your pain, realign your thinking and rebalance and unblock your crown chakra. Divine guidance is essential to healing because it gives us insight beyond what we’re able (or willing) to understand.
