Crystal skulls apparently are a big thing with some whacked out New Agers. If you are a New Ager, take offense. I mean it, you are whacked, dude (or dudette). Still, gotta keep an open mind - sort of.  So here's the skinny on the magic powers of crystal skulls.

First off, ya gotta realize we aren't talking your standard basic quartz dohickey or one of those magnificent mesoAmerican primitive pieces. Nope, we're talking about the 13 crystal skulls that originated in Atlantis.

(We'll talk about Atlantis later, no fear). So of these. allegedly 5 have been found and are under the control of - well, who knows really. Now these Atlantean skulls supposedly do weird stuff like produce holograms and make weird sounds. (What can you expect from a bunch of dummies who got themselves wiped out or never existed at all).

There a couple cults running around that have a big thing for the psychic powers imbued into these crystal skulls. Those who believe in the psychic power of these skulls claim they are a center of glowing psychic energy and can increase happiness and improve people's lives just through holding, handling, and speaking with it.  Now if you run around talking to crystal skulls, it could cause a decrease in your level of happiness if they lock you up at the funny farm. And more good stuff, some also claim that they can be used like crystal balls to do divination.

You'd have to believe that you can tell the future with a crystal ball though for that to make any sense.  Think just a little here. If you could tell the future with a crystal ball why aren't all those crystal ball gazers filthy rich from picking winners and short-selling losers on the stock exchange - or making perfect ForEx exchanges or cleaning up on commodities futures - or horse races or dog races or — well, it's a long list.  Instead these cult leader types get filthy rich by sucking off money from the yahoos.

As a grownup adult type, you can blow your disposable income on whatever weird stuff you want. You're not even required to be able to think straight. And you certainly don't have to get all scientific and demand any bizarre thing like proof. You are free to be a fool and an idiot.

Please note however that you are using a computer over the internet. None of that came into existence as a result of hidden masters or crystal skulls. Science. Disprovable hypotheses.  Repeatable results.  REAL magic - the only real magic there is. Isn't the world marvelous enough and strange enough and mysterious enough without a lot of bs like crystal skulls from Atlantis?
