Tigereye is associated with the root chakra, which makes it fantastic for helping you ground yourself. It’s also associated with the sacral chakra, and is a reminder to harness your inner strength.

How do I get my tigereye crystal to work?

There is no direct scientific evidence that tigereye’s properties have a direct impact on your mental or physical health. But tigereye has been used for centuries, and in the 16th century was more valuable than gold. And the cunningfolk of history have passed down rituals to make tigereye a valuable part of your spiritual practice.

Many cunningpeople empower their tigereye crystal or jewellery with an intention. To do this, decide what you would like your tigereye crystal or jewellery to help you accomplish. If you bought your tigereye crystal jewellery from Cunningfolk, it will be charged by the moonlight and primed to accept this intention. If you bought it elsewhere, you may want to cleanse and charge your crystal before you begin.

Once your tigereye crystal or jewellery is cleansed and charged, sit with it in a quiet room. Meditate for a few minutes on the purpose you’d like it to serve. Are you feeling demotivated? Are you always doubting yourself? Would you like to be more confident, or see justice done? These are all intentions well-suited to tigereye’s magical properties.

Keep your tigereye crystal or jewellery on or near your body, where you’ll see it often. Every time you glance at it, you’ll think of your intention. And refocus on your goals — with the help of your tigereye crystal, of course.
