On 21 December, at the winter solstice, Yule is celebrated; the deepest point in the wheel of the year. The night is longest, the light weakest; and precisely in this stillness the new begins. Yule was originally a festival of fire and hope. In the darkness, lights were kindled, the Yule fire was lit and the house as well as the heart were smudged; to welcome the light and let go of the old. In this time of transition, healing stones can help to activate the inner light, bid farewell to the old year and receive the clarity and warmth for the new.

Gemwater

Gemwater can gently support physical and emotional well-being and help promote inner balance. The practice of making gemwater dates back to antiquity and was sometimes extremely complex. Nowadays, two comparatively simple yet practical and effective methods have become established. One is the direct method, in which the stones are placed directly in drinking water. The other is the indirect method, in which the stones rest in a separate container in the water without touching it directly. As not all stones are suitable for direct contact, you should familiarise yourself with their composition and suitability before using them.
