And he added that some associate it with the astrology and they rotate it according to the cycles of the moon
The amulet also works as a reminder. “Elephants take slow but sure steps. That means that many times I have to take my time to take the right steps,” Alejandro said. In addition, they always go in packs, which means that “many times I will need to work as a team to achieve a task.”
Claudia Morante, founder of the esoteric store Nos Encanta, studied gem therapy in Buenos Aires. “When someone asks me what energy stone It suits him, I always say he has to look and the stone will call him,” he said. For her, this responds to the mineral that the person needs at the moment to be in harmony.

In this way, he stressed, “it harms nature without meaning.”
In this sense, when buying one, it is recommended to make sure that it has “some darker striations” that show that the tree was old. This wood is used “to achieve a cleanliness in the environment where are we going to meditateMariano stressed. “A lot of people turn it on in places where he doesn’t have to,” he said, adding that it actually turns on “to connect with the spiritual plane and get away from the material.” Therefore, when someone turns it on, for example, in a business, that keep customers and money away because it serves precisely to create a suitable space for meditationseparating the earthly.

candles and lamps
During the pandemic, a new product emerged in several esoteric stores: the alchemical candles. Mariano has a “spiritual clinic” where he assists people who “are going through a spiritual awakening” and gives information to “light the way a little”. However, when the health emergency was declared, he could not attend personally, so he began with the candles, placing in them “the same energy that he put in the session.” In this way, the person could the ritual at home.

In Alejandro and Mariano’s store, the star product is the tetragrammatona “powerful protection amulet”. At her store, Claudia also makes her own items, such as you said Y keychains. Some of the symbols present are the Turkish eye and the Fatima’s handwhich work like protection amulets. The latter, when his fingers are up, serves to “send back the negative energy someone else is in charge,” said Claudia.
In turn, it is possible to find keys that represent openings and closings: “It can be to open paths or close lived situations that you no longer want to repeat.” Likewise, Alejandro and Mariano sell elves, wizards, witches and fairiesall made by a woman who “channels the energy of the elementals“, What are they fire, air, earth and water, and embodies them in those characters.

People go, among other reasons, because they feel they need an amulet to protect them, a stone to help them overcome a situation, or because the energy in their home is charged and they don’t feel comfortable.
“Many believe that this is part of a sect or something like that, and nothing to do with it,” said Claudia. People of all kinds pass through there: “From people who believe in God and what they want is to clean their house with herbs, to people who are Wicca, from the witches of the white line.” Nor is it necessary to be adept or religious to trust the power of these itemsmaintained the owner of Nos Encanta, adding that, in fact, she is not.
