The Witching Stones: Where Crystal Magic Meets Real-World Science with Nicholas Pearson

What if the most magical crystal in your collection… is the one you’ve been ignoring?This week we’re joined by crystal scholar, museum specialist, and magical science nerd Nicholas Pearson, author of The Witching Stones. Nicholas shares how he accidentally went from music major to museum earth-science expert, and how that twisty path led him to become one of today’s leading voices in crystal magic.

We explore the place where science and spirituality don’t just coexist, they amplify each other. And how treating magic like data collection can make your practice more intuitive and more accurate.

Nicholas then takes us into the mind-bending world of flint, the “ordinary” stone that literally changed human evolution, birthed early ritual, and forms in liminal spaces beneath the earth. He also reveals the real history of moonstone, the Roman obsession with jet, and the discovery of a Neolithic emerald crown. His take on emerald as a stone of radical self-worth and world-shifting love is one of the most powerful crystal teachings we’ve ever heard.

Whether you’re crystal-curious or crystal-obsessed, this episode will completely change how you relate to the mineral kingdom, and why the simplest stones often hold the most magic.

Nicholas’ book The Witching Stones is out now, and you can find Nicholas at @theluminouspearl or theluminouspearl.com. As always, we’d love to know your magical moment of the week.
