Citrine For Mabon Season
Mabon is a time for transformation, igniting a spark of creativity and manifestation - all traits of the radiant Citrine.
Like a little dose of Vitamin D, Citrine is the perfect stone to have in your home or workplace. She has a primary mission to help us reach our goals with confidence and a deep sense of inner strength. Like the last warm glow of the summer sun, Citrine will radiate positivity and optimism into your day. This joyful crystal ignites a spark of happiness in you, helping you to pursue your goals with clarity and joy. She boosts self-worth, enhances self-esteem and reminds us to be thankful for the blessings we have received. The perfect crystal companion to keep by your side.
Moving Forward with Mabon
As we previously discussed in my blog post, "Embracing the Spirit of Mabon," this season invites deep introspection. Mabon is a time for letting go and moving forward into a new sense of self. When choosing a crystal to honour this transition, Citrine immediately came to mind for her natural gift in supporting this process. Known for her role in dissolving self-doubt and limiting patterns, this warm, nurturing crystal will gently encourage clarity, confidence and self-esteem as you move forward.
While the day we celebrate as Mabon has passed, it reminds us to keep working on ourselves, inviting us to turn inward and tend to the quiet work of self-care and personal reflection.
Abundance and Prosperity
Widely known as a ‘merchant’s stone’, Citrine symbolises wealth and prosperity and is often considered a lucky crystal. She is said to watch over your finances, turning scarcity into gold by changing your mindset – helping you believe that you are worthy of success. Her warm, golden glow supports manifesting and brings clarity when aligning your goals.
As Mabon celebrates an abundant harvest, Citrine illuminates the dark corners, transforming them with light – guiding a bountiful harvest, not just in the fields but in your business and creative pursuits.
Creativity and Motivation
The perfect stone for writers, visionaries and creative souls, Citrine is like fire beneath your feet - courageously igniting a spark of creativity within you and keeping it burning strong. Like a well-stocked stove, she sustains your inner flame – pushing you towards your goals with confidence and self-worth. Boldly, she takes your hand and walks beside you on the path towards your dreams, offering her empowering and uplifting energy every step of the way. From creative thinking to inspired action, she’s got you covered.
A Joyful Presence
With the warm golden energy of the sun, Citrine teaches us to always seek the light, even in the shadows. She glows with the promise of better days ahead, gently lifting the mood and warding off emotional fatigue.
Like a sun-kissed afternoon, Citrine playfully nudges you forward, infusing your days with joy and confidence. I like to think of her as a little dose of vitamin D – boosting our self-worth and self-esteem while bringing an optimistic outlook when facing challenges.
Embracing Citrine's energy is like stepping into the golden glow of a sunrise – warm, hopeful, and full of new possibilities. She helps us shine from within, as we intentionally seek moments of joy.
Natural Citrine vs Heat-Treated Citrine
Holding the soft hue of champagne, honey or pale lemon, natural Citrine is a sight to behold. Formed deep in the Earth over millennia - when quartz is exposed to intense heat and pressure over long periods of time - this rare crystal is often mistaken for her more common counterpart: heat-treated Citrine.
In her natural form, this lustrous crystal exudes a gentle, golden glow radiating calm confidence and crystal-clear clarity. Shining from within, this crystal offers an energy that is both powerful and subtle – a trait that heat-treated Citrine simply cannot replicate.
Heat-treated Citrine, by comparison, is widely available and typically carries a lower price tag. Often sold under the same name, she is formed by heating amethyst or smoky quartz, giving the colour of golden sunshine or burnt amber. While still maintaining some of her metaphysical qualities, this stone tends to have a harsher energy than her natural form.
In Conclusion
This beautiful crystal is the perfect choice to have in your workspace; I have lots in my studio. Her creative, kind energy is like no other and I often find myself inspired by her in my work. Radiating her powerful, confident energy over me while I work, like a quiet presence whispering, “You’ve got this!”.
