THE amethyst ORACLE CARD || THE MODERN GODDESS ORACLE DECK

Design a life of good habits.

Amethyst is a powerful purple crystal that was used in ancient Greece to ward away drunkenness. People would slip an amethyst stone into their pocket before a night out on the town so they could party like rock stars without the hangover.

Because of this, amethyst has become known as the “sobriety” stone.

When the Amethyst card appears in a reading, it’s time to recommit to your habits, goals, and overall vision for your life. The little things you do today will either get you closer or farther away from your ideal life.

Consistency is key right now, Goddess. You’re not going to get toned arms by doing a few pushups every couple of months. Likewise, you’re not going to improve your magical manifesting abilities if you spend your days harping on the negative.

First, think about your goals. Where do you want to be in one year, five years, or ten years? What small things can you do every day to get you moving in the right direction? Make a list and circle one habit you can get started on today.

Then do it! Show up for yourself the way you deserve!

If you find yourself repeatedly missing a habit, it’s time to dig into what’s really going on. Were you only going to the gym to make your partner happy? That’s no good. Let that habit fall away and replace it with something that lights you up, like daily walks with your dog.

Remember that life is made up of cycles—just like the changing seasons and lunar phases. If you’re beginning a new cycle, you’ll probably need to create new goals and habits.

Practical Magic for the Modern Goddess

Use amethyst (or the Amethyst card from this deck) to support healthy habits. Stick this card on your refrigerator door to help you cut back on late night snacking or place an amethyst stone in front of your alarm clock to deter you from hitting the snooze button.

Wrap your tarot or oracle cards with a piece of amethyst to strengthen their connection to the spirit world. You might see your readings get scary accurate after your cards have been absorbing the potent energy of amethyst all day long.
