Used everywhere on everything from Ancient Persia, Egyptian tombs, and Asian beauty spells, you can certainly use it’s great benefits today.
Rose Quartz and Aphrodite
Aphrodite is one of the most popular goddesses of love. She can be honored with pieces of Rose Quartz as an offering, or jewelry can be made from this stone to connect with her loving energy and blessings. The site thehealingchest.com gives a nice re-telling of the story of Aphrodite and this precious stone. “Aphrodite became trapped in a thorn bush while rushing to assist Adonis when Ares, the God of War, attacked him. Aphrodite arrived too late to save Adonis. Because of their powerful love, the blood of Aphrodite and Adonis spilled onto the quartz beneath them. From that point on, the quartz in the area had a rose quartz color. Their story of love is deeply tied to rose quartz meaning.”
Rose Quartz is also sacred to several other goddesses. The stone can be used as an offering for Freya, Yemaya, Venus, Isis, and Hathor. This ancient crystal is prized by many goddesses and is ultimately used to contact the divine feminine. You can use this stone to connect with the universal love energy of these deities. Do this by wearing jewelry, using it on their altar or shrine, placing the stone under you bed, or carrying it in your pocket.
Rose Quartz and Divination
Rose Quartz can be very useful in helping with divination. You can get a pendulum made of the stone and do readings about love and friendship with it. As an added benefit bless your pendulum with rose water and rose incense to cleans it between uses. A rose quartz pendulum can also be very helpful in Chakra re-balancing work.

Let me start by saying don’t put this in the sun, doing so will cause it’s rosy pink color to fade. It order to clean the energy of this crystal you can wash it in rose water or spring water, bury it in the earth, or cover it with salt. This will help to ground and also recharge the natural energy of the stone.

This magickal water spell can be added to a bath, sprinkled about the home, or even placed in a spray bottle and used whenever necessary.
