Articles Comments for:   Healing Crystals June 2015 Newsletter

  I'm just not a fan of non-Native American people talking about Native American cultures/spiritual beliefs. It usually shows pretty painfully too. Example: "Many Native Americans passed down their teachings through the use of stories" -- (1) yes, just as literally any other group of people has done/continues to do; (2) using past tense with "passed on", as if Native Americans were only on this earth long ago and not, you know, still here. This is the problem with talking about peoples or cultures we don't belong to -- especially when they're historically marginalized peoples. We may have innocent intentions, but these seemingly trivial details actually matter!

We don't need to romanticize Native American cultures (or any other culture/people) to write interesting stuff about stones and crystals! I bet there's things to be found about crystals/stones in everyone's own personal ancestries. I would love to see us all practice good allyship to communities of color in this way. Cheers :)  (Submitted by: Jane on June 21, 2015)
