The Magic of Crystals!
Beautiful, calming & healing, as old as the earth & completely natural.. buy how do they work with Tarot?
Why are Crystals important?
Everything around us, including our own bodies, are made up of energy. Some things vibrate at a lower energy frequency, some at a higher level. When the body’s energy is vibrating at a low frequency, it means we feel flat, down, unhappy etc. And when the body is vibrating at a higher frequency, this indicates we’re feeling joy, empowerment, excitement etc. The higher we feel the more we attract similar frequency like a magnet.
Crystals emit a certain energy, each having their own personalities & the more we come into contact with these, slowly over time our energy matches that of the crystals in subtle ways. Crystals emit positive, uplifting, energizing & calming vibrations that help you achieve a more peaceful mind & a revitalized physical state of being. The ancient Egyptians used crystals for both scrying and for medicine for thousands of years.
