Resembling with the light of the sun, citrine is also considered to bring forth harvest and fertility even on the lands surrounded by shadowing darkness. Other beliefs such as Fung Shui, also praise the capability of citrine to invite wealth, prosperity in abundance to their homes and businesses.

Cleansing and Charging Citrine

Just about any other crystals, citrine should be cleansed and charged before used. To cleanse your citrine crystal, simply put it under running water or put it above a lit incense or smudge stick.

To charge it, you may use the visualization technique by imagining a bright light shining from within the crystal. From there, you can think of an intention to bless the crystal with a specific vibe that redirects your energy to the achievement of that goal. 

Citrine and Witchcraft

Citrine can be used in just about any Wiccan practice. It can be used to light up an altar or a sacred space or even cleanse surrounding crystals with its tenacious positive energy. Citrine can also be used during daily morning meditation to invite vigor and enthusiasm at the beginning of each day. 

Citrine can be used to cleanse the chakras and charge each one with a positive energetic outburst.

The crystal can also be used before a tarot reading to cleanse and charge the area where the reading will take place. It encourages the use of the intuition by trusting it with confidence and protects your aura from external influences that may affect the reading. This can be well applied to any divination practice or spellwork that requires you to connect with your true and highest self. 

Alternatively, citrine can simply be placed in an area where you can easily access its presence.

Radiant, optimistic, enthusiastic, motivated and inspired. These are just some of the words that can describe the joy that a sunny citrine crystal can bring into your witchy life. Most definitely, this is one of the basic crystals that you should have within reach.
