Do you remember when I first started sharing my crystal channelings on YouTube back in 2016?

I was outing my “weird”, and sharing firsthand how the crystals spoke to me, the journey’s they’d take me on, the guides I’d meet along the way…

The first time I ever channeled through a stone was in 2006 with black tourmaline.

Dating back to the times of antiquity, of ancient Egypt and Greece (and before), to the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, and the secret mystery schools of Goddess sects, healers, and holy temples, alchemy has been around for a long-ass time.

Alchemy is more than a chemical science: it is also a philosophy. It is a belief that through the workings of consciousness one can transcend from base human experience to that of divine illumination.

I’ve always been fascinated by labyrinths. Mazes are puzzles that have many paths and possibilities, often complex and confusing (not unlike life, I grant you), but unicursal labyrinths have one path that will lead you to center. Keep following the path, and you will reach your goal.

One of the big lessons I think many of us took from 2020 was the necessity of being able to adapt and thrive. Change is the only constant, and so much feels beyond our control. And yet, there IS hope, opportunity, invention, innovation, and magnificent healing that is happening all over the world - right now.

How do we tap into that, and invite some of it our way?

Ever notice a small window on the face of your quartz crystal?

If it’s a parallelogram (see pics below), it may very well be a time link, making your quartz crystal a very special portal quartz.
