People often ask me if I believe crystals have magical powers. My answer is always “no”. Crystals aren’t spells. They aren’t shortcuts. They don’t suddenly make the world softer or the storms stop rolling in.
What they are is a reminder. A small, beautiful, solid piece of the earth you can hold in your hand and say, I’ve got this. I’ve always had this.
I like to think of my crystals as my personal rosary. Each one represents a part of me that I sometimes forget is there. Black Obsidian reminds me that negativity doesn’t get to own me, rather I can release it. Smoky Quartz whispers that I don’t have to carry the weight of what no longer serves me. Lapis Lazuli stands tall and proud in my medicine pouch, a reminder that my truth matters and that I’m on the right path even when the road feels long and winding.
And it’s not just those three. Rose Quartz reminds me to show myself the same love and compassion I so freely give others. Carnelian is my spark plug on days when fear tries to dim my light. Amethyst sits with me in moments of anxiety, reminding me that calm lives inside me if I just breathe and reach for it.
If you’ve got a difficult day ahead—a tough meeting, a family struggle, a grief that feels too heavy to carry, pick a stone that speaks to you. Slip it in your pocket, wear it on a chain, or keep it close where you can touch it when you need to remember: I have what it takes to face this.
The crystals don’t give you power. They remind you of the power that was always yours.
Mother Earth made these stones not as magic wands, but as anchors, grounding us when the world tries to knock us off course. At the end of the day, you are not at the mercy of what happens around you. You get to choose how you react, how you rise, how you keep walking forward.
That’s not magic. That’s you. 🌿✨
