I get asked many questions on how to develop a “spiritual practice” of tools and rituals related to the Goddess. There are so many modalities like runes, crystals, tarot and divination. Where does one begin? How do you choose? This is a guide to help you decide which modality you are drawn to. It’s better to start with one, master the beginner’s level, then move on to the next.
To practice Intuitive Power you need a daily spiritual practice. This is your base, your temple. With this foundation, your rituals and tools will return more power to you. You can start to build a practice with any of the following Sacred Tools:
1. Meditation & Mindfulness
With practice, you start noticing the quiet voice within. Meditation helps you to get quiet and be in the present moment. The key to increasing your intuitive awareness is to stay very present. Intuition lives in the present. Start to feel in your body where you feel strongly when your intuition is speaking to you. Learn about mindfulness through books and YouTube. Take a mindfulness class or work with a coach.
2. Crystals
Place your hands round the crystal and breathe out. On all the out-breaths allow your tension to flow through you and into the crystal. Next, just open up and allow yourself to feel the energy of your crystal; ask your crystal to show itself to you and listen with your heart, feel with your heart. Draw the energy in an effortless manner through your hands and into your heart. You may feel instantly at peace. Keep yourself open and watch all that is happening. Watch for any color you may be given; any name or names given or any ideas planted in your mind.
Work with the following crystals to enhance soul qualities in your life:
- Rose quartz for compassion and self
- Lapiz Lazuli for intuition
- Black tourmaline to release worry and get grounded
- Jasper for grounding
- Tiger’s Eye for courage and confidence
- Turquoise for healing and travel
- Amethyst for meditation and relaxation
- Jade for luck and prosperity
- Citrine for business
3. Dream work
Acquiring the ability to interpret your dreams is a powerful tool. In analyzing your dreams, you can learn about your deep secrets and hidden feelings. Each symbol represents a mood, a memory or something from your unconscious. Look closely at the characters, animals, objects, places, emotions, and even color and numbers that are depicted in your dreams. Keep a dream journal and write down your dreams every morning for 6 months.
Get close to your dreams:
- Write down recurring dream symbolism
- Water in your dreams means emotions
- Flying means freedom and liberation from a previous limitation
- Marriage means union of a certain part of yourself with another part
- Trains and busses means you are in transition from one part of your life into another
- An elevator shows you are moving higher in consciousness or going lower
- Silver means receptivity and intuition and directly relates to the moon
- Gold means action, prosperity and joy. This color directly relates to the sun
4. Shamanic work
Shamanism is humanity’s most enduring healing practice with roots touching every continent and culture on earth. Intuitive Shamanic Work focuses on clearing and strengthening your energy field. For most people, the benefits are a feeling of release, of being “lighter. The path of the shaman is the path of the wounded healer, we are always the student and always working on our own healing and growth as this becomes our medicine.
As we travel through life we sometimes need help identifying and healing certain issues that have imprinted themselves in our energy field. By removing the imprint (that keeps us in a repeating pattern of pain) we can create an energetic shift that gives us new insights allowing healing and the opportunity to make new life choices with greater ease.
If you are interested in exploring your shamanic gifts, then start learning about Animal Guides, Totems and Medicine, Shamanic Ritual, Energy Work, Shadow Work, Channeling & Akashic Record Readings.
5. Dowsing
Another way of channeling your intuition, is to use a pendulum, and ask “yes” or “no” questions. First, ask three questions: 1) What is yes? 2) What is no? 3) May I ask some questions at this time? If you can feel space opening up and you are in the presence of your heart, proceed to ask your questions, and trust in your wisdom to interpret the answers.
6. Runes
There is some evidence that, in addition to being a writing system, runes historically served purposes of magic. Study the runes to study an ancient alphabet of nature. Your use of them can draw energy towards you or dispel energy away from you. Get to know the alphabet and the ancient language of Nature.

7. Incantations
When you’re on a journey of personal growth and making magic happen in your life, here is a powerful tool that you need to have in your spiritual toolbox. Repeating mantras, affirmations, invoking the Goddess are powerful ways to manifest. Your word is your wand as we say in magic. Words generate energy. Words generate power. Words are born from intention. Words that become chants and mantras have the power to create and shape spirit into matter.
