Yes tonight is the Autumn Equinox here in the Southern Hemisphere. Day and night are equal in length. There's lots of meanings and rituals attached to this, but to me it is above all a time of balance ~ and in that balance a gateway into the Universe we all inhabit. Balance and Harmony are key attributes to a happy life and healthy society, and it seems that currently we really need to remember that ! We had a really busy day in the shop today and I hit a real energy low ~ but rather than attempting to conjure healing energies/angels I went back to basics. Surrendered myself to the greater ...

Hi Everyone and hope you're all well. I feel a bit guilty having left this blog so long, but I've just not been in the right head space. Yes you might say why not use a crystal ~ but you've got to want to use it lol. There's times you just need to hibernate. Anyway, the Shop has dragged me out of my cave. Weekends at least have been really busy and after a year in lock down limbo life begins to feel more normal. Remember I bought some Emeralds in the back streets of Bogota and made some rings overseas ? Well, I went to my local Jewelry maker who does my repairs with one of them to see if h...

Hi Everyone and hope you're all doing well. This last week has been really positive for me. Last Sunday, after working with light hearted Prasiolite I woke up for the first time since the accident feeling light hearted and looking forward to the day. Depression can be a subtle and seductive thing ~ especially when you just think Oh I'm in recovery, this is normal. I mention this because after our tumultuous 2020 with all the negative press it's been easy for any of us to succumb to varying degrees of depression. This morning while exercising I was able to add a lot of my old routine to the ...

Happy New Year Everyone ! Normally I'd be feeling at least slightly excited but somehow it feels more like a funeral for 2020. I'm just mentally digging as big a hole as possible to bury this year in forever ! It's been a year in which the incompetence of politicians and the intransigence of health bureaucracies around the world has turned a fairly serious virus, somewhat more deadly than Flu to be sure, into an economically and emotionally destructive force that has turned the world upside down. To their eternal shame the mass media have taken every opportunity to inflame our fears and dis...

Hi everyone and hope you're doing well. It's the infamous Black Friday this weekend, but Crystal Heart never do sales because we charge fair prices and the great majority of our stock is uniquely handcrafted.  But it's also good to give something back and all your support over the lock down period has really saved us. So for all of you regular customers who read our Blogs and Mail outs we're doing a special this weekend. I can't call it Black Friday and just follow the herd, so this is Light Friday ! From Midnight tonight to Sunday Night just enter the code LIGHTFRIDAY at checkout to get an...

Hi Everyone and hope you're all doing well. At least this terrible year is drawing to a close ! Heaps of changes going on for us all and the crazy thing is we don't really know what they are until they manifest ! I've been quiet for a while because I really haven't had a clear picture myself. Then the Shop opening kept me very busy. Then on that fateful 11:11 I cycled to the Dentist hit a car and broke my Hip and Femur. Yay ! One of the very rare times I wasn't wearing any crystals either. Last time I did something similar, back in 1974 on my motor bike, I also smashed left leg and ankle. T...
