I will however, 100% giggle at their expense with my wife, later. Because anyone who buys $50 polished selenite drink coaster “charging plate”, and a $200 brass pyramid to “recharge” their $50 “healing quartz wand” while refusing to listen to real science deserves to be giggled at.

I mean, humans do all sorts of wierd, irrational, ritualistic things. IMO, whatever floats your boat.

Did you buy your wife a diamond ring? Or at least gold? :P

I think this is the perfect response haha. Ppl find comfort where they can in the world, even if it looks a little whacky. So long as it's not hurting anyone, let them have their whacky

No, I made the ring from sapphire (birth stone) and silver. Jewelry is easier than you might think when you've been doing small metalwork for knife handles, pommels, and guards.

Birth stones huh? More magical woo. No for real that's awesome.

Lol at least she just thinks they're pretty instead of thinking it'll balance her energies.

Wonder if they had a big wedding that cost quite a bit more than 200$

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

No, because large weddings are a waste of money and stress, neither of which I make enough money to afford.
