What started as a blog detailing the process of our shop development has since evolved into a space for connection, empowerment, and shared magick. In this post, Jaime Allen, our Personal & Sales Manager and longtime Psychic Medium, dives into Leo season energy, tips for Solar Plexus chakra work, and ways to bring balance back into our lives as we shift into new routines. We also spotlight our partnership with Love Esco and share what’s ahead at Prism & Pendulum, from crystal wisdom to behind-the-scenes magic at the shop.

What began as a simple dream has blossomed into something so much bigger: a thriving crystal shop, art gallery, and healing space powered by community, collaboration, and a lot of growth (both personal and professional). In this post, we reflect on the journey from humble beginnings to a vibrant metaphysical hub, and the powerful lessons learned along the way.

On June 1st, we signed the lease and took the leap: officially planting roots in downtown Escondido. From knocking down walls to dreaming up window displays, the past few weeks have been a whirlwind of transformation. In this post, we share the behind-the-scenes journey of building The Prism and Pendulum, a space for crystals, art, healing, and community.

We took the plunge and set up shop for our very first craft fair, and wow, what a weekend! From battling the sun to learning the art of booth layout, our two-day debut at the Bates Nut Farm Spring Arts and Crafts Show was packed with valuable lessons, new connections, and a dose of humble beginnings. In this post, we’re sharing the highs, the hiccups, and what’s next for us as we dive headfirst into the world of craft fairs and pop-up markets.

They say when you put your intention out into the Universe, it listens. I thought I was just dabbling in manifestation: lighting a candle, setting a grid, carrying a pouch of lucky stones. What I didn’t expect was for the Universe to answer so quickly... and so loudly. In this post, I share the wild and unexpected story of how a passing dream to own a crystal shop turned into a very real (and slightly terrifying) opportunity. Was I ready? Am I still? Let’s just say, be careful what you wish for!

Bringing home a new crystal is always exciting, but before you start working with it, there’s an important first step: cleansing and charging. Crystals can absorb energy from everyone and everything they encounter, so it’s essential to clear them and set your own intentions. In this post, we’ll guide you through simple and effective ways to cleanse and charge your new stones to align them with your energy and purpose.

Crystals have become a staple in spiritual practices, wellness routines, and home decor. But beneath their beauty lies a more concerning story. As demand for crystals grows, so do concerns about the ethical and environmental impacts of their mining. In this post, we’ll explore the question: Are crystals the new blood diamonds? Let’s take a deeper look at where your favorite stones come from, and what it means for conscious consumers.
