Crystal Clear 2024: Charms to positively kick off your year
Changing the calendars as the year ends marks the beginning of our busy minds ticking off all the lucky charms on our lists; from polka dotted clothing, round fruits on our tables down to the outfits that match the color of the year, which this time is Peach Fuzz. But there is another charm that we should start including on our new year fortune rundowns: the crystals!
My interest with crystals only began later this year in a chance encounter with a charm store in Baguio City named Munting Ligaya -Filipino for a little joy. Aside from the fact that it is actually inside Kidlat Tahimik’s Ili-Likha Artsists’ Watering Hole, its name caught my eyes. I wondered what it offers because ‘Munting Ligaya’ sounded really magical for me.
The store wasn’t that big, so upon entering, crystals of different types, colors, sizes, and cuts welcome its visitors. As I checked each plates holding them, all the crystals hold a different meaning. And for some reason, I just felt connected with them, giving me the courage and hopefulness in facing the year to come.
