Weyland: What noise? A scratching sound is coming from inside a nearby box. Morgan (pointing at the box, which has begun…

     Since the earliest times, crystals have been revered as a scared gift from the Goddesses and Gods. They are sacred magical tools, which have been used for psychic powers, healing, spiritual development, protection and divine guidance. Their use is intimately connected with religion, ritual and magick. Both Pagan’s and Non-Pagans believe in the power that the crystal possess. In this article we will look at a small history about crystals, how they are used and why we are drawn to them.      Seeing people wearing rock crystal or amethyst points hung on chains and earring or set in rings is not uncommon anymore. Usually when some people hear or think of…

The Way of the Shaman Author: Michael Harner ISBN: 0553259822 Years ago I read Carlos Castaneda’s books, which was my first foray into the magickal world of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
