“Jasper – the grounding stone of good energy and joy”

Hi and welcome to Wicca Now. As you may already know, Wicca Now is a site where Amaria and I write about all things Witchcraft, Wicca and Magick. Lately, we’ve been covering a lot of crystal related topics, like this post on crystal witchcraft, this guide to crystal correspondences or this article on citrine. Today I thought we’d focus on another beautiful crystal, namely jasper.
