What it is
Selenite Ritual Knife - Letting go of the past is made from selenite, a fine, silky-white crystal with a natural fibrous glow.
Letting-go rituals belong to the waning moon, when the light shrinks. A 'cord cutting' with a ritual knife is a symbolic gesture: a cord or thread representing a tie is cut to mark a decision to move on. These are symbolic rituals of closure, not a replacement for support from people you trust.
The Selenite Ritual Knife range comes in 3 versions. If Letting go of the past isn't quite right, compare Releasing Bonds or Classic.
Materials and size
Selenite is a crystalline form of gypsum, soft enough to scratch with a fingernail, typically pearly white with a silky sheen. It measures 2 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural gypsum.
The Cave of the Crystals in Naica, Mexico, holds selenite beams over 10 metres long.
Traditional uses
In modern crystal practice, selenite plates and bowls are used to cleanse or 'charge' other crystals and jewellery placed on them overnight, especially under a full moon. Selenite is named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. In modern practice selenite plates and bowls are used to 'charge' or cleanse other crystals placed on them. In modern crystal tradition selenite is linked with the crown chakra and with Taurus and Cancer. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims.
How to use it

- Set other crystals or jewellery on it overnight as a cleansing ritual.
- It pairs traditionally with any crystal you want to rest on it.
- Dressing-table idea: use it as a landing place for jewellery so pieces aren't scattered.
- Altar idea: its pearly white suits a moon altar beside a candle and a small bowl of water (kept well apart).
