Chiastolite Planting

 The first crystal planted on our recent trip to Shetland was this beautiful chiastolite crystal. Programmed to enhance spiritual awareness and connection to the ascension path to all in its wake, this beautiful crystal was placed just below the alter area to St Ninians chapel on St Ninians Isle in the South Mainland.

It was a very stormy day when we first visited this ancient sacred site. Difficult to stand up on the more exposed cliff edges in the wind, the views as we crossed the amazing natural tombola and explored a little way beyond were stunning.

Looking back at the tombola

The existing stone remains are of a 12th century medieval church, built over a pre Norse 8th century church, and Iron Age remnant’s dating back to around 800 BC. It is also the site of an amazing archeological find of Pictish silver-gilt objects as well as an ancient burial ground. A very atmospheric site on a beautiful isle.

Quick Update

 So sorry for the lack of posts in recent weeks. After an amazing time in London and Glastonbury, three days home, and then an equally magical ten days in Shetland, a rough twelve hour ferry crossing followed by a lengthy virus has laid me low for a while. Still in recovery but looking forward to sharing some beautiful and powerful crystal plantings from the far north of the UK, and getting back into the swing of things, in the coming days.

Beautiful sunset on our last evening in Shetland

Just to let you know that our regular meditation programme continues this week but at GMT times after the clock change here.

Staurolite Planting

This sparkly staurolite 'fairy cross’, was recently planted to the beautiful Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury. 

Programmed staurolite crystal before planting

Programmed to enhance elemental lifeforms, these fairy crosses act as anchors of light to strengthen all forms of elemental life. 

Looking towards the site of placement

They are being planted across the UK and beyond and are part of ongoing global crystal placement work to strengthen different aspects of the Earths planetary body.

Eternal gratitude to everyone who joined us in connecting to the beauty of rose quartz and Personal and Planetary Peace on International Peace Day. I had the gift of sitting with two soul friends in the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey through midday, that day, with the beautiful chunk of programmed rose quartz shown below focusing on peace, healing and heart connection for all. Such a moving experience.

International Day Of Peace

Monday 21st September is the United Nations:

International Day of Peace

with the theme for this year being 'Invest in Peace - For everyone, Everywhere, Every Day’.

Whilst there will be no special Crystal Earthworks Meditation marking this as I am traveling, I will be making time, through noon BST that day, to sit with rose quartz and focus on Global Peace and Healing. Please feel welcome to join in with your own piece of rose quartz or just take time to be still and send positive thoughts or payers of peace for all. This is also a powerful action to take at noon in your own time zone, or at a time to suit you, that day.

If you are interested in using rose quartz to enhance peace in your own life and that of others, some simple ways of using this amazing crystal are fully outlined in the pages section of this blog, Rose Quartz and Peace.

May peace be with each and everyone of us and with our beautiful Earth Mother.

Birthday Planting

This beautiful rose aura was planted in the vicinity of a seating area on one of my favourite local walks, here in central Scotland  yesterday, as I celebrated my 64th birthday. 

Programmed rose aura before planting 

Programmed to enhance heart connection to the Earth and all who come within their wake, these beautiful crystals are part of Crystal Earthwork's Global Aura Planting work and are being placed to sites of high energy across the planet.

Partial Full Moon Eclipse

 The partial full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces in the early hours of tomorrow morning, Friday 28/ 08/26, beginning at 3.33am BST, marks the completion of a two year cycle of learning when to surrender to universal flow, and when greater structure or action is required in order to anchor deeper fulfilment in our lives. This is a key astrological opportunity to celebrate all we have achieved and wish to take forward, and to place down all that no longer serves us both at a personal and planetary level.

To mark this event the beautiful crystal configuration shown below will be open from 9pm BST, tonight, Thursday 27/08/26 to 9am Friday 28/08/26. Comprised of a Pure Grace Heart to the centre, four moonstone, four apple aura and eight angel aura to the outer circle, with four amethyst aura and four sunset aura around the inner selenite heart, it can be tuned into at anytime, over the 12 hours it is open, to facilitate positive change within ourselves and the planet as a whole.

The moonstone represent the energies of the moon, the apple aura earth energies, the angel aura angelic support and holding, the amethyst aura positive transformation and the sunset aura the energies of the sun and the cosmos. The Pure Grace Heart to the centre connects to Divine Feminine energy and radiates this out through the energies of the other crystals to bring heart centred healing, flow, positive change and rebalancing for the greater good, at all levels.

Please feel welcome to connect in at a time to suit you, in meditation, positive thought or prayer from where ever you are based across the globe.

Solar Eclipse

We had the gift of returning to Orkney on the 8th of August at the peak of the Lion’s Gate portal, staying until just after the solar eclipse. 

Rainbow through the Old Man of Hoy
 from the ferry as we arrived

For those of you who have been reading this blog for a while, you will know that we lived in Orkney for over 14 years, during which Crystal Earthworks was also based there.

Orkney shore and sky, Evie

Our return at such a key energetic time felt to be divinely orchestrated, and I was prompted to do some key energetic work, and further crystal planting, in the vicinity of the Ring of Brodgar and Stones of Steness complex on eclipse day.

Scolecite shards, before placement

These are four of the eight scolecite shards placed, and are the culmination of much energetic work to this site over the years. After I completed the work a visitor kindly offered to take a photo of me amongst some of the stones which felt very beautiful. 

Stones of Steness

Although the evening was cloudy we did have the occasional glimpse of the eclipse and its energy felt very moving and powerful, such a gift to have been present for  this event in Orkney.

Thank you to Ellen Forsyth for the photo!

Lions Gate 2026

The Lions Gate portal is a key energetic opportunity to release old patterning and ways of being and welcome in the new, manifesting all that is true to our souls light, both at the personal and collective levels.

This year the gateway which peaks tomorrow, 8/08/26, is particularly powerful and potent given the numerology and astrological alignment's this year.

Holding this in our hearts, the beautiful preseli bluestone shown below will be opened at 8am tomorrow, 8th August 2026, and remain open until 8pm on the 12th August 2026. The latter being the day of the next New Moon, which also coincides with a total Solar Eclipse in some parts of the globe, the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower, and the closing of the Lions Gate portal.

Please feel welcome to connect to the crystal heart at any moment throughout its time of ignition, from where ever you are based, in meditation, positive though or prayer with the focus:

'To release and let go of all that no longer requires to be held and to bring about all the heart, and the collective hearts of humanity, truly desire from a soul perspective.’

May Lions Gate 2026 bring greater joy, hope and heart felt fulfilment to all.

Angel Aura Planting

Whilst the amazing weather held here in Perthshire, Scotland, I had the gift of going up a local Munro adjacent to the Ben Lawers group  of mountains. This is a high energy area and crystal planting work has been done to various sites around here over more than a decade. Very pure smokey quartz pieces from the slopes of Ben Lawers itself are also used in one of our monthly Earth Healing Meditations.

Lower slopes, looking towards Glen Lyon

The angel aura was place to the top of  Meall nan Tarmachan and we were gifted with amazing views of endless mountains in all directions, as well as greater clarity regarding future plantings to this beautiful area. The angel aura is part of our ongoing Global Aura Planting work and is now acting as an anchor of angelic light to the planet.

Programmed angel aura before planting

If you are interested in taking part in this work, further details can be found by clicking the link above, and please feel welcome to get in touch if you have any questions!

New Mountain Planting

With all the warm weather in the UK recently we have had the gift of being able to take to the hills for some crystal planting expeditions. This one felt particularly special as it was to Carn Chois, a mountain  I look up at almost everyday on my local walks here in Perthshire, Scotland, and one I had been hoping to get up for a while.

View of Loch Turret on the way up

This beautiful combination of crystals was placed to the top programmed to anchor the energies of unity (unikite), nurturance (snow quartz) and positive transformation (titanium aura) into the Earth. It was a quite a challenge getting up there in the heat and a lot further than I had anticipated but well worth the effort for the views alone. 

Crystals before planting

It also feels amazing, as now, everyday, I look up at the top and I can feel the beautiful and much needed energies of the crystals placed, flowing into the land around us and feeding positivity into the Earths wider energetic grid.

Earth Healing Meditation

Just a quick reminder that tonight's Tuesday Earth Healing Meditation, through 8pm BST, is the focus for the third Tuesday of the month: 

‘To unfurl new ways of being at a personal and planetary level for the greater good of all.’

This event uses the beautiful configuration shown below, comprised of four pentagonite, four petalite and eight angel aura in combination with a Pure Grace Heart and four rose aura.

 

The pentagonite and petalite crystals work with higher levels of consciousness to draw in and help unfurl new ways of being for all. The angel aura, as in many of our current meditations, anchor energies of support, healing and protection from the angelic realms. With the Pure Grace Heart and rose aura combination to the centre enhancing heart and Divine Feminine connection, this is a beautiful configuration of crystals with great transformational potential. 

Please feel welcome to join us form where ever you are based across the globe. Full details of how to connect in by clicking the link: Tuesday Meditations 2026.

Garnierite Heart

In addition to our regular meditation programme, this beautiful garnierite (green moonstone) heart was ignited through 8pm BST last night, 14/07/26, for 24 hours in connection with the energies of the new moon in  Cancer.

Programmed:

‘To  garner our lives with all that brings greater harmony, balance and nurturance to ourselves, the Earth and all her inhabitants.’

At a personal level this beautiful crystal, sometimes known as ‘The stone of the Goddess’ helps to settle emotional hurt and heal the heart, as well as connecting deeper into Divine Feminine empowerment. On a planetary level it enables us to tune into, and co-create, all that is required for a sustainable future for all, to garnish our lives with all attuned to heart led flow.

Please feel welcome to connect into its energies over the coming hours, or at a time to suit you, from where ever you are based across the globe, with every connection empowering the healing effect of the meditation both at a personal and planetary level.

Snow Quartz Cairn

 It felt lovely a few weeks ago to finally have a crystal garden cairn again. Our move south, from Orkney, some two years ago now, felt to be an opportunity to step into greater nurturance of ourselves, each other and at a community and planetary level.

Initially I was prompted to grid our new home and garden both for protection and nurturance using a combination of amethyst and snow quartz. With the cairn I again felt drawn to snow quartz. This beautiful milky white crystal veils nurturance and strength to all in its wake and often attracts an abundance of wildlife.

The new cairn feels to be a beautiful gentle healing focus to ourselves, the garden and beyond. Amazingly, within a couple of days of building and igniting it,  I woke up to find a roe deer buck sleeping in the long grass next to it, followed by a local pair of mallards. Within recent days red squirrels have been visiting, not so common in the summer, and swifts have begun prospecting the house eaves for roosting and nesting opportunities.

It will take a while for the energy to build but I’m hoping in time it can become a planetary healing focus as previous cairns to our homes have been. If you are interested in having your own Crystal Cairn, full details can be found on how to action this in the pages section of this blog or by clicking the link.

Merlinite Planting

On our 34th wedding anniversary on Saturday, we had the gift of visiting the Moor of Ardoch, a beautiful site near the historic village of Fowlis Wester, Perthshire, Scotland. There, lies a prominent standing stone and two small stone circles, remnants of an ancient ritual site.

The standing stone

I was prompted to plant the standing stone with a merlinite programmed to re-activate the site to current times in accordance with the greater good of all. This is part of ongoing crystal work with standing stones and stones circles across the UK and beyond. 

Programmed merlinite before planting

After the planting and ignition of the crystal I was drawn to circle the first stone circle three times and then sit to its centre. It was a moving experience and feels to be only the beginning of work to this special place.

Global Peace Meditations

A huge thank you to everyone who connected in to last night’s weekly Thursday meditation for planetary peace, healing and heart connection. We have a new heart shaped rose quartz chunk as the focus for these events, whilst the the regular crystal has a well earned rest in the garden after many years of service.

The new piece is about twice the size and weight of the old one and I’m easing into sitting with its beautiful healing energy, as it creates a powerful space to hold once ignited.

Strawberry Full Moon Meditation

Tonight’s regular meditation, 30/06/26, through 8pm BST, is a rare fifth Tuesday of the month and coincides with a Strawberry Full Moon in Capricorn and the first days of a period of Mercury Retrograde. 

This point in the astrological calendar offers the opportunity, at both a personal and planetary level, to celebrate all that is coming to fruition in our lives, whilst recognising all that no longer serves ourselves, those around us, and the greater good of all. The current Mercury Retrograde is also encouraging us to slow down and be patient and take a more mindful measured approach to life.

Please feel welcome to join us in the usual way through 8pm BST, using the beautiful crystal configuration shown below, comprised of a Pure Grace Heart, four rose aura, two types of moonstone and eight angel aura.
