Beskrivning

As Millennials, younger Gen Xers, and older Gen Zers contend with political, economic, and existential distress, a new trend has emerged: the rise of self-divinatory practices once thought to be the domain of New Age spiritual seekers. Offering a sense of ritual, guidance, and purpose, these practices have gone mainstream at a time when self-care is an important line of defense against the pressures of daily life. But how does a newcomer choose and develop a practice? Unlocking the beauty, accessibility, and self-care potential of crystals, Crystal Clear examines twelve popular stones through twelve cultural prisms, from black tourmaline and its importance in setting boundaries, to pyrite and its impact on imposter syndrome, to Tiger s Eye as a tool for living fearlessly. The result is personal, relatable, funny, and poignant, perfect for fans of Basic Witches looking for inspiration and clarity in their own lives.

Recensioner i media

“Crystal Clear is a book for anyone seeking meaning and comfort in their life. The essay topics range from virginity to success, and while Jaya Saxena's writing feels personal and intimate, it's also relatable and clarifying. I don't know a single thing about crystals, but I do know a thing or two about trying to make sense of the confusion and tragedy and joy of life. I can't think of a better book for the moment.”—Scaachi Koul of Buzzfeed“One of the most fascinating and unique books I’ve seen in a long time. Beautifully written, exquisitely researched, and filled with penetrating insight into the pretty rocks that can mean exactly as much as we want them to, and so much more. Saxena surprises you at every turn.”—Nicole Cliffe“A collection of thunderously well-researched and generously human works."—LitHub
