The tale of Atlantis comes from the Greek philosopher Plato. He described Atlantis as a vast island nation, larger than Libya and Asia Minor combined, situated "beyond the Pillars of Hercules" (believed to be the Strait of Gibraltar.) It was said to be a powerful, wealthy, and technologically advanced society that eventually grew corrupt and misused their power. According to Plato, the gods punished Atlantis and in a single day and night of misfortune, the island was swallowed by the sea. Whether this was invented as a moral fable or a preserved fragment of forgotten history remains one of humanity's enduring mysteries.
Over the centuries, explorers and mystics have suggested countless possible sites for Atlantis. Here are some of the most popular theories.
It is suggested that Atlantis fell due to greed, moral corruption, and misuse of power. Some view it as a highly spiritual but technologically advanced civilization that lost its balance and led to its destruction. Humanity overstepped moral boundaries and began experimentation which led to the hybridization and altering of DNA of animals and humans. Those in charge dismissed spirituality and respect for Earth for scientific advancement without regard to moral and ethical obligations. Some theories suggest civil war or war with other civilizations led to its demise.
Crystals have long been linked to Atlantis through both lore and metaphysical tradition. Larimar, known as the Atlantis Stone, connects to water, tranquility, and higher consciousness. Aquamarine reflects the element of water, supporting courage, clarity, and intuitive flow. Atlantisite unites ancient wisdom with compassion, reminding us to live in harmony with the Earth. And Clear Quartz, often said to be used by the Atlanteans as a source of energy and knowledge, continues to amplify spiritual wisdom and alignment today.
How can we reflect on the fall of Atlantis today? It could be seen as a mirror for humanity, especially with the rise of AI, our dependence on social media, and the chasm of division amongst our societies. How can we balance our connection and respect with Mother Earth and advanced scientific methods? What would our world look like if humanity came together as one-honoring our differences while standing in unity?
Whether Atlantis was a literal island flooded by the sea, a poetic allegory by Plato, or a story from humanity's deep past, it continues to inspire wonder. In its mystery lies a lesson: civilizations are not immune to collapse, but through reflection, balance, and humility, we might avoid the same fate.
The angelic realm is a hierarchy of divine beings of light, messengers, and protectors sent to support, assist, and guide humanity. Whether you call them archangels, guardian angels, or light beings, their energy is pure, loving, and aligned with your highest good.
Angels operate on a high vibrational frequency, acting as bridges between the Divine and earthly realms. Here are some ways they can help you on your spiritual journey.
They often intervene subtly, through a "knowing", serendipitous events, or repeating messages. These are common signs of their presence.
These signs remind you that you are never alone. The more you acknowledge them, the more clearly their presence will be felt.
Crystals act as energetic amplifiers, helping you to align with angelic frequencies. Here are some of our favorite crystals to work with to connect to the angelic realm.
Scent can be a powerful tool for spiritual connection. Sacred plants carry light, clarity, and high vibrational frequencies. Here are our favorite essential oils and plants we use to connect to the angelic realm.
Use these oils in your diffuser when meditating with the angelic realm or apply a few drops at bedtime to invite angel messages into your dreams. Incense sticks, cones, or resins are another way to invite these scents into your home.
Each archangel can be called upon for specific needs. Clearly state your intention and guidance you are in need of. After calling them in, sit in stillness, and observe any feelings, images, or words that arise.
In Kyle Gray's book, Connecting with the Angels Made Easy: How to See, Hear and Feel Your Angels, he offers a candle ritual to welcome in your guardian angel's presence. Find a large enough candle that you'll be able to gaze directly into. Dim the lights in your home and light the candle. You'll be gazing at the candle so make sure you're in a comfortable position. Here is his step by step guide.
Gaze at the candle flame and allow its golden light to wash over you.
In your mind, set the intention that you want to draw your angel close to you.
Feel in your heart and in your soul that they are enveloping you in their energy.
Keep gazing at the candle and visualize your third eye centre opening up.
As your third eye opens, feel yourself attune to the vision of your angel.
See yourself tapping into the voice of your angel as you gaze towards the candle.
Feel, see and hear their presence.
Breathing steadily and deeply through both nostrils, allow yourself to go into a light trance.
When your gaze has become a stare, close your eyes immediately.
Pay attention to the thoughts, messages, words or impressions that come to you.
Then say a quiet prayer like "Thank you, angel. I am so glad you are close to me. I allow you into my heart. Thank you for staying there!"
Place your hands on the ground at either side of your body and press firmly down to ground yourself.
Drink some water and maybe eat some nuts or fruit to ground yourself.
Eventually it will become automatic for you to direct your energy and focus to your angel in order to feel them around you, and a beautiful feeling of safety and support will come to you in return.
The angelic realm is always near and ready to walk beside you, lift your spirit, and offer guidance when asked. Working with crystals and mindful intentions can help you tune into their frequency. They are ready to meet you with love, compassion, and radiant light!
Water is one of the most sacred elements on Earth. It is the source of life, flowing through our bodies (we are made up of more than 70% water!), our land, and the cosmos itself. But water carries something deeper: memories, consciousness, and a way of holding energy and intention. It holds subtle imprints of emotions, thoughts, and vibrations across all timelines and if we tune into this powerful source we not only raise our own vibration but become one with something greater than ourselves.
Veda Austin, a photographer and water researcher, studies water's consciousness through crystallography, the freezing of water over images, words, or intentions. (The ice will then reveal an image of whatever was projected into the water.) She sees "water as Source, rather than a resource...". Through her works of ice photography, she has shown that water is responsive to not only our words, thoughts, and projections but also music and art. So, what is water trying to communicate?
Lorriann Horvath, QHHT practitioner and Reiki Master, shared a message she received from the water element during a client session. The water expressed itself as the essence of life, carrying energy, knowledge, and healing through and around all beings. It asked humanity to treat it as sacred, to recognize its power, and to protect it from pollution and harm. Water also emphasized the vital role of fish, describing them as “worker bees” of the waters—sentient beings who cleanse, communicate, and maintain balance within aquatic ecosystems. Together, water and fish need consistent healing energy from humanity to restore balance and support the oneness of all life.
"Treat water sacredly. Bring it into rituals, bring it into your practice-what it is that you do, and allow it to purify and heal you. Water wants to see a change in regime all over the world and the coming together as one to understand the sacredness of water and how life cannot continue to function without it. Understanding oneness is key."
If our consciousness and actions influence water, then water influences us. If water can carry memory and vibration, then we are walking vessels of ancestral and cosmic wisdom. Through engaging with water consciously, we open ourselves to healing, clarity, and alignment with the natural world. Here are some ways to honor and connect with water's consciousness.
Say blessings of gratitude and healing to your drinking water. Using tones from sound instruments such as drums, singing bowl, or chimes over your water (or even your voice and intention) can infuse it with higher vibrations.
Salt baths. Spending time in water can deepen your connection and bringing water safe crystals into your bath can further this connection.
Moon water. Water can be charged and infused with lunar energy during the full moon. This water can be used in ceremonies or self-care routines.
Spend time near bodies of water, streams, lakes, or oceans. Tune into its energy and give your blessings and gratitude. Visit sacred bodies, fountains, or wells with the same intention. Bathing in mineral-rich hot springs has been practiced for centuries as a means of emotional renewal and to nurture the body, mind, and spirit.
Our favorite hot springs to soak in are:
Develop relationships with water spirits or elementals. Humans once had a deep reverence and connection with the elemental or telluric realms. Throughout history, we have betrayed their existence and trust. We need to delicately rebuild these relationships as so much of their wisdom and guidance has been lost.
Charging water with crystals. This can can raise the vibration of your crystal and water itself. Be sure your crystals can be immersed in water. As a general rule, crystals to avoid putting in water are any that end in "ite", such as Selenite, Calcite, Pyrite, Fluorite, Malachite, etc. Do not use the charged water as drinking water.
Since water has a consciousness we need to understand how to coexist, be resourceful and mindful with all bodies of water including rain and snow. Where in your life or community can you support the conservation and restoration of water?
Water is our sacred companion, a mirror of our emotions, and a carrier of ancient wisdom. By connecting to this consciousness, we not only honor this element but also reconnect with the intuitive nature within ourselves.
Every year, our Denver Gem Show trip is filled with magic—and this year was no exception. The Denver Gem & Mineral Show is one of the largest gatherings of crystal and mineral vendors in the world, and for us, it’s so much more than just sourcing inventory for the shop. It’s a time to discover rare treasures, reconnect with vendors and friends, deepen our relationship with the Earth through the beauty she shares with us, and share the excitement with all of you!
One of our favorite traditions is building a crystal grid at the show. It’s our way of setting intentions, sending healing energy to Mother Earth, and infusing love and light into all of the beautiful crystals we bring home. This practice keeps us grounded in gratitude and reminds us why we do what we do—sharing the Earth’s treasures with all of you.
Another tradition is making team bracelets to wear during the show. For us, they’re a symbol of unity—a way to feel connected and supported while we’re out sourcing treasures for you. These bracelets help keep our energy grounded and aligned as we work together. And this year, for the first time ever, we offered them to you too! It was so special to see our community excited to share in this tradition and connect with the energy alongside us.
The gem show is also about connection. We made new relationships and deepened existing ones with vendors from around the world. A highlight this year was spending time with our Peruvian vendor, who introduced us to the Inca Trilogy—the condor, puma, and serpent. Each carries its own sacred energy, and we can't wait to share the beautiful new wands, carvings, and teachings that came with this connection.
And of course, the crystals! We’ve added incredible new finds to the shop: Blue Halite from Iran, Coquimbite from Chile, Dianite from Russia, Druzy Chrome Chalcedony from Turkey, Mali Garnets from West Africa, Peridot with Chrome Diopside from Arizona, Powellite and Prasiolite from Brazil, Staurolite and Uvarovite from Russia—and so much more. With three pallets of treasures on their way home, we can’t wait for you to experience them with us.
This year, we also went live from Denver with five amazing Instagram Live Sales! It was such a joy to share the excitement of these new finds with you in real time, and we had so much fun exploring the gem show together. Connecting with you that way was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Be sure to also check out our Denver Gem Show highlight over on Instagram for all the behind-the-scenes!
Outside the show, we also made time for recharging in nature. A stop at Iron Mountain Hot Springs was truly healing—we even brought a few crystals along to cleanse and charge in the water and mountain energy. The hot springs feature pools inspired by thermal waters around the world, and the experience was so revitalizing after spending many hours walking and shopping the gem show.
As always, we return from Denver with full hearts, truly inspired, and with so many new treasures to share. Thank you for being part of our community and joining in the excitement with us—stay tuned for all of our new finds!
The Autumn Equinox reminds us that life is a balance between light and dark, growth and release, and action and rest. Just as the natural world begins to slow and prepare for a quieter season, we too are invited to find balance within ourselves. This time of year encourages us to reflect on areas in our lives where harmony may be missing. Are we giving too much and not receiving enough? Are we moving too quickly and neglecting the need for stillness? The equinox offers an opportunity to pause and realign, to let go of what no longer serves us, and to create space for deeper grounding. Here are some of our tips for finding balance this season!
The Autumn Equinox invites us to find harmony between action and stillness, outer expression and inner reflection. By embracing the balance of light and dark, we cultivate clarity and peace. Just as the Earth shifts with grace, so too can you realign, release, and return to balance.

These are perfect size for children, as well, and be easily carried in their pockets or in their backpacks. They can also be used to promote restful sleep. Simply place one in your pillow case, under your mattress, or set it on your nightstand.
Lepidolite is a companion for times of transition and for restless minds and hearts. When you work with Lepidolite, you invite in serenity, balance, and the courage to let go of what no longer serves you!
A Blood Moon Eclipse will occur on September 7 in different parts of the world. The Earth will cast its shadow over the Full Moon, giving it a reddish hue, turning the moon a deep, mysterious red. This powerful omen is a mirror to our subconscious and a time for heightened intuition and psychic awareness. It is also a time to release old patterns and beliefs, outdated stories and roles, and make space for rebirth and realignment.
The energy of this Eclipse reveals what must be cleared out of our ancestral blood line before we can fully step forward and live in alignment. This requires deep soul work, emotional honesty, and the courage to shed what no longer resonates with you. If you consider yourself a Lightworker, you were probably called upon in this lifetime to course correct the ancestral bloodline you were born into. This may feel like a burden at time, but it can be an honor to shift behaviors, remove energetic cords, and right familial wrongs to a higher vibration freeing ancestors from past, present, and future.
One of the ways to do this inner work is through journaling. Here are some prompts you can consider working with during this powerful Eclipse energy.
What generational patterns do I feel called to break?
If I could speak to my ancestors, what would I ask them? What would I thank them for?
What stories or wounds have I inherited from my family line?
What wisdom or strength runs through my lineage that I can draw upon now?
Who am I as I shed these old layers?
Who am I when I let go of what no longer defines me?
When I feel most reactive or emotionally charged, what emotion is lying underneath? Is this emotion even mine or an emotion that has been carried down?
Are there beliefs or behaviors I carry that feel like they belong to someone else?
Make a separate list on a piece of paper of things you are ready to release during your Full Moon Ceremony. Burn the paper with the intention of releasing and giving gratitude to your ancestors, freeing them and your future generations.
Crystals you can work with to dissolve generational cords, contracts, and behaviors are Obsidian, Moonstone, Atlantisite, and Smoky Quartz.
This is a powerful time to reflect and realign. Trust what is being revealed and being released!
Frequencies, measured in Hertz (Hz), can have a profound effect on the body, mind, and spirit. When paired with sound vibrational tools such as singing bowls, tuning forks, or binaural beats, these frequencies can become gateways to deep emotional release and spiritual awakening.
Hz is a unit of frequency that measures how many cycles a sound wave completes in a second. When applied to sound healing, specific frequencies are believed to vibrate in harmony with the human body, chakras, and even our emotional state. Our favorites ways to tune into them are through the use of singing bowls, sound baths, listening to guided meditations or music on apps such as Insight Timer.
Here is a list of healing frequencies with a breakdown of how they can support different aspects of your spiritual and emotional well-being. Visit one of our favorite meditation apps, Insight Timer, to tune into the vibration. Pair a recording with one of our suggested activity or tools to amplify the frequency.
7.83Hz - Earth's Heartbeat This is often believed to be the Earth's natural heartbeat (or Schumann Resonance) and our energetic baseline. This frequency creates harmony in the nervous system and balances our energetic field. Outside in nature, preferably lying on the ground, is the perfect way to absorb this frequency.
111Hz – Divine Healing Known as a “sacred frequency,” this frequency is associated with deep cellular repair and harmony between the brain’s hemispheres. This vibration has been used by sacred sites and chanted by monks, and carries a naturally calming and restorative quality. Listening to this frequency during meditation, prayer, Reiki, or intention setting can invite profound peace and spiritual alignment.
174Hz - Foundation Helps to ground and create a sense of safety and support. Can be used when recovering from physical or emotional trauma. Tune into this frequency when in water, such as a bath.
285Hz - Cellular Healing Restores body to its original blueprint and promotes regeneration. Can be used in conjunction with aromatherapy, such as essential oils Eucalyptus and Lemon, for restorative support.
396Hz - Liberation Releases feelings of fear, guilt, and shame and balances the Root Chakra, anchoring into your personal power. Use with crystals such as Smoky Quartz or Obsidian.
417Hz - Facilitating Change Clears out low lying energies and encourages transformation and new beginnings. Combine this frequency with journaling or holding Selenite harmonizers.
432Hz - Relaxation & Clarity This popular frequency encourages deep relaxation and encourages a meditative state. Use this frequency in a meditation practice, especially when struggling with mental chatter or when working on creative projects, writing, or drawing.
528Hz - Love Frequency This is a potent heart opener, encouraging self-love and compassion. Amplify a heart-centered meditation session with this frequency and the use of Rose Quartz crystals.
639Hz - Connection For those longing for harmony in relationships or improved communication, this frequency will support you. Use this frequency while opening and aligning the heart space in deep meditation.
741Hz - Self-Expression This frequency activates your Throat Chakra. Use this frequency in conjunction with chants such as, "Om".
852Hz - Awakening Intuition Stimulate your Third Eye Chakra to encourage deep inner knowing. Place a crystal, such as Amethyst, between the brows during a meditation with this Hz.
963Hz - Divine Connection Open the Crown Chakra to Divine energy, activating a spiritual awakening. Diffusing sacred essential oils, such as Frankincense, will enhance the experience. You might also pull an oracle card, allowing the message to come through with greater clarity and connection.
Whether you're using sound to soothe emotions, awaken your intuition, or reconnect with the Divine, Hz frequencies are an important tool in your journey toward spiritual alignment and your overall well-being!

Our auras are the subtle energy field that surrounds our physical body. It can reflect our physical health, emotional state, and spiritual well-being. Energy healers and intuitives often describe it as a soft glow or a shimmering field of color around your body. When your aura is balanced and bright, it can help you feel vibrant, grounded, and connected. When it is cloudy or dim, it may be from stagnant energy, leaving you feeling drained, foggy, and restless.
How to Cleanse Your Aura
After stressful or challenging events or when you're working through intense emotions, your aura can benefit from an energetic cleansing. Here are some of our favorite ways to cleanse our auras.
Maintaining the Integrity of Your Aura
Here are some tools to keep the aura healthy and in spiritual alignment.

Akashic records are the energetic archive of our soul's entire journey through space and and across all timelines. They may show up in our life as deja vu, an unexplained desire to be in certain geographic locations, or drawn to certain groups of people. When we access them, we can uncover patterns, heal karmic wounds, and realign with our soul's purpose.
The word "akasha" comes from the Sanskrit word for "ether" or "open space". In Hindi philosophy, Akasha is one of the five fundamental elements and symbolizes limitless potential and infinite possibilities of existence. Think of the Akashic records as a divine database where every thought, action, emotion, and intention is recorded.
Although they exist in the spiritual realm, they can affect your current life in very real ways. Patterns in your relationships, health, fears, talents, and even challenges can all stem from your experiences in other lifetimes.
Here are some ways Akashic records may show up in your life:
How to Access your Akashic Records
Set Your Intention: Be specific and intentional on what you are trying to access and release. Is there a particular question, scenario, or challenge you are trying to resolve? Write this intention down and hold onto it during the meditation.
Enter a Meditative State: Find a supportive and quiet space to meditate. Choose appropriate background ambient music or sound. Take a few deep breaths and close your eyes. State your intention and ask for access to your Akashic library. Everyone's vision of it is different so do not assign "wrongness" to what you see. This may take several sessions to access. Continue to practice and a story will begin to unfold.
Record: Write or draw your visions, words, or images that play out during your meditation. It may not resonate or make sense right away but it may all come together at a later date.
You can also set that same intention and use a pendulum or pull oracle cards to help with validation.
Akashic records may also be accessed in one on one energy healing sessions.
How to Shift Your Records
Crystals can be powerful allies for accessing and working through the Akashic Records. They can raise your vibration, open your Third Eye and Crown Chakras, and protect your energy. Our favorite crystals to work with the Akashic records are Pineapple or Lithium Quartz, Lemurian Quartz, Apophyllite, and Selenite.
Akashic records can be used as a tool for spiritual insight, self-discovery, and healing. They give us a better understanding of our unconscious desires and behaviors. By access this deeper wisdom, we empower ourselves to break old patterns and align with our highest potential!
Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis (Latin for "northern dawn"), paint our northern skies in waves of green, violet, and gold, inspiring humanity for thousands of years. The Northern Lights occur when solar particles from the sun collide with the Earth's magnetic field, igniting the upper atmosphere in ribbons of color. Long before science offered an explanation, these lights were believed to be messages from the god, spirits of the ancestors, or portals to other realms.
In Norse mythology, they believed the Lights were the glow of the Valkyries' armor (female warriors) who rode across the sky carrying slain warriors to Valhalla, their final resting place. And in some Norse tales, the Lights were associated with Bifröst, the rainbow bridge that connects Midgard (Earth) to Asgard (the realm of the Gods).
Húsafell, Iceland
For many indigenous communities across the Arctic, the Northern Lights hold deep spiritual meaning. The Inuit believed Northern Lights were tied to spirit energy or ancestors. Their legend tells a story of an Inuit warrior who discovered the Lights trapped within the rocks in Labrador, Canada. This warrior struck the rock with his spear, releasing some of the Lights back into the sky and the rest remained in the rock. This is what we now know as the crystal Labradorite, known for its magical, transformative properties.
The Sami, of northern Scandinavia, viewed the lights with profound reverence and caution. They believed they carried the souls of the departed, and showing disrespect could invite harm.
Many people today view the experience of the Northern Lights as an activation on a deep soul level, reminding us that there is something larger than us that exists. Under their glow, you may feel divine connectedness, timelessness, and a feeling of being seen. The Lights are encoded with transmissions or light codes. They contain frequencies that can activate upgrades to our DNA and light body, activate deep soul retrieval and memory, or awakening within the souI. You don't necessarily need to understand the codes they send, but rather allow yourself to feel into them. Notice what feelings you experience under the Lights and journal those feelings or carry that into your next meditation.
Here in southeastern Wisconsin, it isn't common to see the Northern Lights, but when they arrive, it is an event where people gather outside in community awaiting the chance to view the magic. There's power in being united by wonder and awe. In those moments, we're reminded that we are a part of something vast, beautiful, and shared. All of us are not just connected to the cosmos but to each other. The Northern Lights call us to look up and remember our place in this Universe!
