Crystal Clear

Basic Witches author Jaya Saxena presents a captivating collection of personal essays that uncover the diverse meanings and histories of eleven well-known crystals, from amethyst to obsidian. Valued for their beauty, crystals are found in jewelry, home items, and various self-care products. However, it is the symbolism behind these stones that truly attracts people to their natural forms. Similar to astrology, tarot, and contemporary witchcraft, crystals offer a powerful tool for individuals to gain deeper insight into themselves and the world around them.
 
In this collection of sharply observed essays, Jaya Saxena reflects on—and challenges—the ideas associated with eleven popular stones, including unconditional love (rose quartz), happiness and success (citrine), balance (amethyst), self-care (black tourmaline), purity (pearl), imposter syndrome (pyrite), toxic positivity (carnelian), change (opals), traditional concepts of marriage (diamonds), presentation versus identity (obsidian), and death (amber).
  
The result is a deeply personal book with universal appeal, exploring how we assign meaning and power to crystals in order to give meaning and power to our lives.
