Winter Solstice - 6 Piece Crystal Grid Set
‘Who Am I’
1 Smokey Amethyst Spirit Quartz
5 Brandberg Quartz
Winter Solstice is the point of the wheel of the year that the darkness of night is at its longest, and daylight hours are at their shortest. This is a time of deep slumber, a time to retreat into our inner world and rest from the chaos of a fast paced life. It is a time for stillness and reflection, death and rebirth, before the coming of the lighter days and personal transformation 
This grid is complex in its simplicity, with multi layers of healing energies. It is well suited for the winter solstice, which is a time of resting, cleansing and deep healing, before rebirth and transformation takes place as the wheels turns towards the light.
The grid is laid out in a 5 pointed pentagram. This represents the 4 elements, Earth, Air, Fire & Water, plus Spirit as the 5th point. The pentagram is linked to Venus and feminine (yin) energies. It is believed to be a symbol of protection. 
The central focus stone of the grid is a smokey amethyst spirit quartz with three main points. This carries both yin and yang energies of heaven and earth. It is grounding and uplifting simultaneously. Spirit quartz has a high vibrational frequency and aids access to higher consciousness. It brings positive energies to Self that radiate out to others. Spirit quartz can help to bring freedom from fear, reducing anxiety and boosting confidence. The amethyst within the spirit quartz is cleansing and purifying on all levels. It helps to bring balance and harmony. Amethyst spirit quartz is particularly helpful for clearing grief and sadness and encourages acceptance and forgiveness.
The five Brandberg Quartz aid links to the ancestors and remembrance of who we are. Each of the Brandberg quartz have their own special characteristics and features and have been carefully selected to compliment each other. 
One is a fenster quartz / window quartz with clay inclusions, a fluid inclusion with moving bubble, a large receiver face, and shovel tip. There are smokey and amethyst wisps within. Fenster quartz is believed to offer a window to the soul, aid psychic abilities and memory healing, and increase insight and perception. The clay within aids connection to the earth, and the ‘stone people’. It has deep ancestral connection. The fluid inclusion is symbolic of the womb and carries the water element. It is also a time capsule of what has gone before.
Two has soft amethyst hues, excellent clarity, and a small right leaning timelink. This timelink portal can help with visioning the future, and moving forward, leaving the ‘stuck in a rut’ feeling behind.
Three sparkles with rainbow flashes, and has excellent clarity. This offers profound energy cleansing, including chakra and aura cleansing, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual cleansing. 
Four has an asymmetrical Dow termination (7,3,7,3,7,3), with a prominent channeller receiver face. The quartz has excellent clarity, and vibrant red hematite flecks within. There is a parallel baby on the side, and some spots of prehnite. A quartz for deep meditation and connection to source, inner truth and totality. A quartz for heart healing, completion and perfection. The red hematite, aided by the quartz, is deeply soul cleansing, getting to the hidden and entrenched wounded parts. 
Five has a bold left leaning timelink, and a smokey phantom within. The quartz has excellent clarity. The timelink portal offers access to the past, ancestral links, information, and past lives. The smokey phantom helps with healing of the shadow Self. 
This grid can be created in time for the winter solstice and left up as the wheel of the year turns slowly into shorter nights and longer days. It is a ‘place’ to return to - to come home to - to draw an oracle card - to spend time reflecting and contemplating. This grid is deeply powerful!
When creating the grid, personal Intention can be set, and the grid can also be used as a portal for meditation and/or channeling information. Each stone can be used individually for deep meditative healing.
