Setting up a crystal grid on your altar can be a fun way to align with your intention and bring manifestations into reality.
Like most spiritual practices, it really is what you make it. There’s no specific set of steps and tools needed to set up a crystal grid. Rather, it’s all about your intention and presence in setting your space.
A crystal grid cannot and will not magically change your life, but through the ritual of setting one up, you can be more willing to receive what you are asking for.
In this post I will guide you through some basic tools and practices I recommend implementing in your crystal grid ceremonies.
Keep in mind that you are more than welcome to add or take away anything that resonated with you!
SUPPLIES LIST
- Altar space (maybe on top of a bookshelf or on a windowsill) with a cloth or scarf, crystals, and decorations that have meaning to you
- Sacred geometry grid (such as the flower of life or metatron’s cube)
- Crystal point (such as clear quartz, rose quartz, or smokey quartz)
- 3 to 10 crystals that align with your intention (I recommend a few of these being clear quartz pieces)
- 1 or more candles
- Herbs like Palo Santo, sage, or incense for cleansing
- A piece of paper with your intention written on it
Now that you’ve gathered your supplies and set up your altar space, it’s time to perform the ritual.
I recommend setting up your grid at a quiet time of day for you, that way you can be truly present during the ceremony.
SETTING UP YOUR GRID
- Prepare your sacred space by lighting incense and/or candles, and cleansing with Palo Santo or the herb of your choice
- Begin placing your chosen crystals, starting with the point in the center and radiating outward on intersecting lines
- Channel your intentions into each crystal as you place them. Ask for help in aligning you with this intention, and thank them for this guidance.
- When all your crystals have been placed, hover your hand over the center of your grid.
- Envision strands of white light connecting the crystals and emanating upward and outward. Spend a minute or two doing this.
- Blow out your candles. Remember to frequently visit your grid and reconnect with your intention.

Your grid is all set up and ready to help you live your best life! Thank you so much for trusting in my guidance for this ritual.
I want to make a couple extra notes regarding the reasoning for certain things in this ritual, just for your knowledge and understanding.
Having a point in the middle of the grid helps direct all the crystals’ energy into the center and send it out into the universe. If you don’t have access to a crystal point to use, that’s totally okay! A clear quartz chunk will work as well.
Clear quartz chunks are a valuable part of every crystal grid because clear quartz helps balance energies and amplify intentions. This is a very important role in completing and directing the energy of your intention!
Using a sacred geometry crystal grid creates a further connection between your intention and the universe, because sacred geometry depicts how everything in our universe exists.
This is why placing crystals along intersecting lines on the geometrical grid helps them be in greater alignment with the power of the universe.
Crystal grids can be found online through Etsy or in local metaphysical shops. You can also create your own through drawing or printing out an image!
But if you don’t have access to a crystal grid for your ceremony, that’s also totally okay. You can use a special tablecloth, scarf, or bandana to place your crystals on.
I would love to hear any tools or tips you have for setting up a crystal grid!
Everyone’s ritual and grid is completely unique, and it can be valuable to learn from each other’s experiences. The comments section is open to your reflections!
