Prepare yourself for an enlightening journey where we challenge the mystical world of rocks and crystals! Brace yourself as we, your hosts Lady Alba and Lord Night, debunk the most prevalent myths and misconceptions, especially around the fascinating practice of attributing mystical properties to certain rocks, such as shungite - the truth is far more grounded in science, and we're going to explain why.We're not stopping there: we delve into the practical applications of these beautiful stones, from the industrial use of diamonds to the cosmetic roles of various minerals.  We explore the placebo effect when dealing with crystals and our thoughts on its origins. We also unmask the marketing strategies behind popular stones like amethyst, citrine, and hematite. Finally, we bring you a thought-provoking debate on the feasibility of rocks in spellcasting, even touching on some unconventional symbolism – dinosaur poop, anyone? We investigate the contentious topic of quartz crystal cleansing and the use of minerals in color magic. And for an unexpected twist, we delve into the reasons why pagans are so drawn to rocks. This is a journey full of surprising revelations about the power of minerals, so buckle up, buttercup!Support the showJoin us on Discord: https://discord.gg/MdcMwqUjPZFacebook: (7) Life Temple and Seminary | Facebook
