The Power Of Crystals

I know what you guys are thinking: thank God we have finally found THE guide to all-things crystals. If you’re anything like us, you’re trying to manifest your best life — a life where you’re abundant even after weekends spent (regretfully) buying shots for all your friends, and even some randos if you pregamed hard enough. These crystals, which can all be found at Earthbound Metaphysical Shoppe located at 434 S Main St., can help you achieve just that and more! Here are our absolute favorite, must-have gem picks.

What is Rose Quartz you ask? Why, it’s the crystal of love! Pink in color, the Rose Quartz is perfect if you’re trying to manifest any kind of love in your life. Will it make your sneaky link fall in love with you? Honestly, probably. It’s also known to be a comforting stone, perfect to break out when you feel an emotional breakdown coming your way or if you’re just lacking in self-esteem one day. We’ve purchased dozens of these and may or may not sleep with them under our pillows. Don’t worry about it.
2. Amethyst

Purple in color, Amethyst is perfect for opening your third eye chakra. This crystal brings some much-needed peace and calmness into its owner’s life. Perfect for the hectic and anxiety-provoking life of a college student! Get this crystal if you’re trying to be a witch — it will undoubtedly help connect you to your higher self. I know what you’re thinking, what does that even mean? To be honest, we don’t know, but we love the sound of it!
3. Citrine

This crystal is yellow in color and is also known as the sunstone. We need as much sun in Syracuse as we can get, so this is a MUST for your collection. Citrine is perfect if you’ve been feeling down in the dumps lately but don’t know how to get out of it. Carry it around for positivity and to feel, quite frankly, not so shitty. This stone is also associated with wealth; go get your bag sis.
4. Moonstone

Basically, this white crystal is associated with being a bad bitch. Known for its divine feminine energy, the Moonstone is perfect for those of us who haven’t been feeling quite ourselves or are trying to figure out what to do with our lives. It gets its power from the moon, allowing for you to, once again, connect with your higher self, if you’ve figured out what that means by now. Use this crystal during a full moon manifestation ceremony for the most visible results (viewer digressions advised, of course).
Overall, crystals are great for pretty much any issue in your life. Combine any of these with meditation or some positive affirmations, and you are on your way to Witchville. Don’t forget to charge your crystals in the moon and sunlight; this is an essential step of the process. Haters will say it’s fake, but we’re here to tell you the power of crystals is very much real.
