Reflections on Extraordinary Talismans For Everyday Life
I've been a fan of some of Jaya Saxena's online wrings and I've been semi-ironically getting into crystals but I probably wouldn't have picked this up if I hadn't read some online reviews that were like “uh this is not a guide to crystals it's actually set of beautiful personal essays” and I was like, sick, I love beautiful personal essays!!!
Each essay focuses on one crystal and its alleged purposes/abilities but then applies that out to moments in Jaya's life/personality/whatever and they're all just really honest and #relatable and lovely. Highly recommended even if you're not into crystals. (But also it's 2021, why not get into crystals.)
