I might mention the stone treatments. Was late getting started, because of researching spiders and their bites. The only thing recommended on the Internet for the bite is Aloe Vera. The drugs doctors were using were proven to be useless. The Aloe Vera helps with the pain...very important. I already had a cure for pain. Except for myself would charge some water and drink that after the ceremony. It was just as good as 2 extra strength Tylenol for migraine headaches. I drank plain water from the sink facet, no pills or medicine at all. I blessed the small glass cup of water with the Eagle feather (dyed, not a real one).
For pain
1. Peruvian Turquoise, 100% natural (no heat treatment or color dye). This stone contains Cuprite which shows up as brownish-red spots. Has deep blue inclusions, but mostly lighter sky blue. Is a good stone for curing worry, anxiety, stress, pain.
2. Clear quartz crystal, very large. The crystal is used as a pointer, in the direction used for healing. Should be off to the side, not pointed at you either. I use the South for healing, but West is good also.
3. Light blue ceremonial color. I don't use any candles for native ceremonies, but often have a color which could be an animal effigy drawing or sometimes a rune.
The water is optional, but I blessed the container of Aloe Vera juice the we extracted from the thick leaves. The energies keep working as long as the blessed Aloe Vera is used once everyday.
For healing the wound.
I did a plain ceremony without blessed water or Aloe Vera, using the crystal but substituting other stones for the Turquoise.
1. Piece of Amethyst.
2. Piece of Rose Quartz (normal pink).
3. Green ceremonial color.
For strength or increasing the body's electrical energy
Just as in the ceremony above, using the clear Quartz crystal.
1. Piece of Rose Quartz.
2. Red ceremonial color.
There is more that can be done. I started using healing stones to cast my circle also (tumbled polished or rough). The first time tried 12 African Bloodstone to replace my stone Medicine Wheel circle. Now for healing sometimes use both. I have even tried using 3 rings, in Amethyst, clear light Rose Quart, African Bloodstone. A complete ring of each (12 stones per circle). The only time I've done this is for healing. Lately have experimented with more types of stones, different combinations of, in circle casting. A 12 stone set now in Carnelian, Blue Quartz, Lavender Quartz, and a stone which is a mix of Clear/Smoky Quart.
To get the big hole healed, had to start using these ceremonies.. .I did all three as a ceremony and not using blessed Aloe Vera now (within a 24 hour period of time). It healed, covered by a large scab. Then had to go through this again for the infected skin. But, it always worked good and very quickly.
