“Despite the novelty for modern westerners, crystal work is a variation upon the old occult belief that gems, stones, rocks, amulets, talismans, and minerals contain great power which can be magically directed for various uses, such as psychic abilities, astral projection, spirit contact, and channeling. It is viewed as a technique for manipulating mystical energies. Crystal work is found in shamanism and Eastern religions. Because spirits were believed to indwell in such stones, healing and other magical properties were assigned to them. Medieval occultist Paracelsus, the ‘father’ of modern New Age medicine, owned a jewel believed to be inhabited by a powerful spirit. But what is the real source of supernatural power behind these stones? The Bible is clear there are only two sources of supernatural power: the Lord and God or Satan. The crystals themselves contain no magical powers, but are mere implements behind which demons may choose to work their deceptions. Since Jesus Christ doesn’t get the glory behind crystal work, it should be apparent the enemy is behind it.”

The following are quotes from the book Can You Trust Your Doctor? By John Ankerberg and John Weldon:

… crystal work is employed in various of occultic practices, including manipulating the body’s alleged life energy, (prana) for healing; awakening the chakras, alleged psychic centers in the body; and for arousing kundalini energy. Crystals are employed in such practices as astral projection, dream work, visualization, divination, spirit channeling, muscle testing, dowsing astrology, the use of mind-expanding drugs, and even psychic surgery…

New age crystal healing is a minor variation upon an ancient occultic theme: that of working with objects called talismans and amulets having supposed supernatural powers. Throughout history, these items have been associated with the spirit world, and because of this, are believed to possess magical abilities. This is why metaphysical traditions of every stripe, East and West, use these magical stones in their occult work…

What then is the real source of power behind modern new age crystal healing and crystal work? As was true in the past, the true source of power today is the spirit world. Although most crystal healers believe that the crystals themselves contain magical powers, the truth is that the crystals have no power and are merely vehicles through which spirits may choose to work. In essence, modern crystal healing is simply a variation upon this ancient theme: gems and minerals may contain great spiritual power which can be psychically directed for various uses, such as diagnosis, healing, developing psychic abilities, astral projection, and spirit contact. But because modern crystal work actively seeks occult power, the practice is replete with spiritistic influences…

No matter where we look in modern new age crystal healing, we discover that the real power in crystals comes from the spirit world, not the crystal itself. Every crystal worker we have talked with, and every book on crystal healing we have read, underscores this fact….

Uma Silbey’s The Complete Crystal Guidebook, reveals that through crystal work,

“You can meet [spirit] guides and beings from different dimensions and uncover ESP abilities…. A curious thing starts to happen as you work with crystals. You start becoming aware of an energy or force or a “potential” higher than yourself. You start becoming aware of and can begin to interact with something very powerful and wonderful.”

She observes that those who work with crystals become “channels” for this energy and she specifically identifies it with the dangerous occultic kundalini energy…

…The real power comes from the spirit world and not the crystal itself is proven by the fact that after spirit contact is made, the crystals are no longer needed. Several crystal healers have told us that crystals are merely devices for attracting the spirits who supply the real power. Even when the crystals are dispensed with, the occult power remains.

If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can receive Him into your heart, and He can deliver you from darkness and sin and have your name written in His Book of Life.

If you are sincere, you can say this simple prayer to the Father (it doesn’t have to be word for word):

“God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. Please forgive me of all of my sins, just as I forgive others. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross, I believe in my heart Jesus is Lord and was raised from the dead and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in the Lord and GOD Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”
