crystals for spirit release - Judy Hall

The drum and cymbals which are resplendent at the head of the sick man.
The drum is Anu. The cymbals are Enlil.
The standards which are set up at the head of the sick man. They are Sibitti,
the great gods, sons of Ishara.
The scapegoat which is placed at the head of the sick man: Ninamaskuga,
Enlil’s shepherd.
The censor and torch placed in the house of the sick man: The censor is Kusu.
The torch is Nusku. 2
Unfortunately the tablet breaks off there so we don’t have a complete description of
the ritual but we do know that it describes a battle between ‘good’ and ‘evil’ gods for
the soul of the sick man. It is presumed that the invading spirit is then sent into the
‘scapegoat’ waiting at the head of the sick man but in other descriptions it is
captured in ‘a stone’.
Part of Mesopotamian and Egyptian ‘closing rituals’ after detaching entities
was to make a necklace out of Carnelian, Lazulite or Lapis Lazuli, Serpentine,
‘spotted stone’, ‘very spotted stone’, shiny silex, breccia and ‘little breccia’ (Jasper)
beads. This was worn around the neck for seven days. Only some of these crystals
can be identified, but those that do still work today.
Using crystals
Selenite wands have been used since time immemorial
Appropriate, cleansed (see below) crystals can either be put directly onto the body,
spiralled over the chakras or placed in a grid around the room, in the environment or
around the physical body. They work well in the aura about a foot out from the
physical body as that is where many of the more subtle attachments occur. Sweeping
