Linda Foy talked on Zoom to the Vernon (North Okanagan) Questers April 15 2021 on minerals especially on their healing and spiritual aspects.
Ivan McBeth
Ivan McBeth the unreformed Druid was fun to be around. He was like Haggrid a gentle giant, magical. He used dowsing to build stone circles around the world for earth healing. In a way he was doing geomancer work on a planetary scale.
In his 2005 book, “The Crystal Journey Apprenticed to the Earth” Ivan dug out crystals from a cave in Wales Great Britain and traveled to many points around the world planting those crystals. Wales is the land of dragons and he wrestled gems away from a dragon’s lair to set up an earth grid for the earth’s purposes. He traveled to Scotland, India and South Africa doing his work. He could feel ley lines and positioned crystals and twenty ton stone to work with the dragon lines.
The first time I met Ivan was at a Questers Fall Conference in Harrison Hot Springs about 2006. That was the conference where we travelled to the Othello Tunnels. Ivan was singing Songs of the Bards as we caravanned to the tunnels. The feeling was mystical. Ivan had to climb down to the Coquahalla River below the tunnels and feel the water and rocks in the river bed. Then he touched the granite walls of the tunnels. Dowsing for vortexes and portals in the tunnels we found many anomalies. It was fun. Merlin Beltain loved it.
Before passing last year he built his largest stone circle beside the Mississippi River. It was larger than Stone Henge and required massive cranes to set the Ashlars and Saracens upright. He explained it was composed of alternating limestone or yin-feminine stone and granite yang-masculine stone to balance the energies equally. The way he described the circle it was like a capacitor building up a charge and releasing it on solar and lunar cycles. Electricity is part of the capacitor’s job as it was also storing and releasing a magnetic charge, something not taught in school.
Last time I was with Ivan was a couple of springs ago at the Questers Spring Conference in Olds Alberta. He built a temporary, virtual, stone circle on the lawns of Olds College which blended with the purposes of the agricultural college and may have helped future students work with earth energies.
On the last day of that conference Sandy Mac in her break-out session taught how to use dowsing to recognize and release past life trauma affecting the present incarnation. We were in groups of three. One was the patient, the second asked questions of the patient and the third dowsed the answers. When Ivan was the patient I was the dowser. We asked when the past life trauma happened? It took a few minutes to discover Ivan’s trauma happened about 1000BC. Then we asked where the trauma happened and found it was in central Asia. Then we asked for his age when the trauma happened. He had been older than one hundred years. After a few more dowses the trauma was pegged at age 400. I then experienced one of those psychic moments which dowsing opens seeing Ivan as a Siberian shaman, a wise man many Siberians relied upon. I saw his wrongful murder by a former student similar to the murder of Pythagoras. At that moment Sandy told us to return to our seats for other instruction. I turned to Ivan and said, “You REALLY are a MASTER!”

An Amethyst Geode – Picture by Roger Joyeux
Amethyst (pause, breath in a long slow breath) is often said to be a calming influence. Indeed so, yet I call it the calling card of the soul. Soothing – relaxing – peaceful – are other adjectives used to describe Amethyst. Amethyst is also said to be a stone to meditate with. So how does it work?
Well, it works with light, just like almost all the other crystals that contribute to the enlightenment of Earth. It is quartz with a purple ray. Quartz itself works with the full range of all light frequencies. Smokey Quartz, Citrine Quartz and Clear Quartz share the common trait of embracing all light frequencies on Earth, just as does Amethyst. While not in significant quantities, the full range of all light is significant because every frequency needed to bring Earth and its inhabitants to enlightenment can be obtained by using any variety of crystal with a quartz base, including Amethyst.
Amethyst’s colour gives it its specialization, which, because it works with the purple range of frequencies, involves the soul. The soul wants to work in harmony with its incarnate extensions on Earth – you and me. It wants to connect with us and send its light and energy.
Yet, the soul’s energies and light are extremely subtle. The soul often has difficulty coming into harmony with its incarnation because of the extreme turbulence and density of the person’s Earthly vibration. High and subtle and low and dense are not a happy marriage. Low and dense needs to rise up to join with high and subtle. The mind needs to be still.
Amethyst contributes to stilling the mind because of the way it works with the mind’s thought processes. Amethyst begins to overcome mental jumble by ordering thought. The random confusion of disorganized thought that flips from one subject to the next to the next is grouped into subjects with a common thread. Amethyst then helps the mind focus on one subject area and to push the others into the background. The process continues. Within the chosen subject, thoughts are ordered into a linear pattern. One thought follows the next, follows the next.
At this point, the influence of Amethyst slows the mind’s hurriedness causing it to dwell for a longer time with each thought. A thought begins and ends and the next thought begins and ends. Here is where Amethyst brings the mind into alignment with the Soul. As a given thought ends, the thought to follow does not immediately begin. A gap is created between thoughts. Call this the Divine Pause. Here is where serenity in the mind begins.
Serenity is the condition that allows the high and subtle soul to flow into the mind’s space. Amethyst helps to open the gap between thoughts to allow the mind to commune with the soul in the space of no-mind, no thought – in the state of blissful be-ing-ness unencumbered with distraction or movement. It brings the mind into serenity thus calling the soul to come.
So sitting with Amethyst in hand, let the quiet stillness that envelops be the serenity that beckons the soul.

Walk in peace.
Healers of all kinds will benefit from knowing how the healing crystals work and how they are best used. Perhaps you are already an intuitive healer, but now want to learn how crystals can help. If you are an intuitive healer, crystals will work for you, but your own gift trumps all.
Healing needs to be understood. What is healing? You deserve a definition, or at least a clarification. I define healing as the acceleration of form so that light can enter.
Let me explain. Any form in its current state of density, your physical body for example, will work with a specific range of light frequencies at a specific level of vibration. If you take that same form, and accelerate it so that it vibrates faster, it will then work with more and higher ranges of light frequencies. When a given form needs healing, whether that form is the physical body or one of the subtle bodies, the implication is that the form does not accept light very well. If the flow of light into the form is impeded or blocked sufficiently, disease develops and healing becomes necessary.
The healing process involves the acceleration of form to open form to more and higher light frequencies. Light then enters and does the healing. I call this “classic healing”. A crystal that does healing in this classical sense, as I am defining it, accelerates form. The light then comes in. Thereafter, light does the healing. Classic healing crystals are green with a few exceptions.
The myth that plagues crystals and healing is that crystals do the healing. No! Crystals do not do healing. Crystals bring light. Light does the healing. Because getting this right is so important, let me repeat. Crystals do not do healing. Crystals bring and manipulate light. Light does the healing. The essence of the myth of healing and why so many crystals are erroneously labelled as healing crystals is found in the nature of divine light. Quite simply, all crystals, with the odd exception, work with light. Light does the healing. Because all crystals work with light, what follows is that all crystals do healing. Loosely saying that all crystals do healing is a truth, but only in the strictest sense of the language. It is a meaningless truth. Such a truth offers no understanding about how crystals work.
Another important perspective I need to mention briefly in passing is that healing is not an eternal process. Once healed, the healing process is no longer necessary. The analogy might be where a person receives a cut on the forearm. Thereafter, she goes to the doctor and gets half a dozen stitches. Two weeks later, the stitches are removed. Scar tissue develops to complete the healing process. The point is that the cut does not need to be healed all over again. Healing is complete. So, move on.
Bloodstone is a classic healer and an old Earth stone. In Bloodstone’s case, the form that it accelerates is not actually form, but rather the etheric magnetic field. Specifically, Bloodstone works with the innermost layers of the etheric body’s magnetic field. The etheric magnetic field emanates out from the human body for a couple of feet or so. If a person is sitting in quiet meditation, the field can be significantly more than a couple of feet.
First, the physical body has a blockage somewhere. Symptoms of a blockage that Bloodstone would work with include physical stiffness of movement, especially in the joints, and perhaps fatigue and paralysis. Place Bloodstone wherever the problem is located in your body, such as right on the joint, right where the muscles are fatigued, right where the bruise might be, right at the place of paralysis, or wherever there is stiffness. Place Bloodstone on that spot, and it will work just fine.
Alternatively, you can place it on the second chakra for the fact that it is a second chakra stone. If you put a piece in your pocket and walk around with it, it will work equally as well. Preferably use a smooth tumbled piece for the sake of comfort. On the second chakra or in your pocket, Bloodstone’s energies are picked up by the etheric magnetic field and taken to the place that needs healing.
Second, Bloodstone’s energies journey through the body. They move around; they meander within your aura to different parts of the body, and they pulse as they go. The stone’s energies continue to meander until they encounter a blockage. Bloodstone then goes to work. Initially, its energies simply accumulate around the blockage and continue to pulse. The pulse strengthens because of the accumulation. Accumulation continues until the pulses become strong enough to actually hammer their way through the density in the etheric magnetic field. This is Bloodstone’s version of accelerating form. Upon busting up the blockage, Bloodstone’s frequencies and the frequencies of the local area rush in to work their healing magic. Because of the pulsing and hammering, I call Bloodstone the sledgehammer of the crystal world.
Bloodstone’s second chakra vibration is relatively low on the scale of high and low. The density that it works to overcome is also lower on the scale. The healing that Bloodstone offers applies to quite physically dense areas of the body. Most often, a healing from Bloodstone is apparent to the stone’s user. Bloodstone is an effective old-Earth, classic-healer that works directly with the etheric magnetic field to heal physical maladies.
Healing with light is subtle and should never be used as a substitute for sound advice from professional medical practitioners.
Love and Light,
Roger
