Ant hill crystals may be found anywhere, as ants bring them up to the surface of the Earth during the formation of ant hills. North and South American shamans used ant hill crystals in their medicine bags and rattles in order to remain in contact with the spirits. |
| Medicinal Uses: |
Ant hill crystals expand and awaken the mind and the soul through memory. These stones may be found at any ant hill; the bigger the ants, the larger the crystals.
Try this ant hill crystal medicine: gather ant hill crystals, remembering to ask permission and to thank the ants. Create your own rattle (an empty aluminum soft drink can works wonders). Place the ant hill crystals inside and shake it about the house to clear out old emotional debris. The rattle may also be used for protection; the sound made by the ant hill crystals keeps evil spirits at bay. |
