Are Crystals Evil? How the 12 Breastplate Stones Reveal the Cosmic Archetypes — And Why Christ Frees Us from Their Influence
Every generation has argued about crystals. Some say they are “demonic,” others say they are “just rocks,” others insist they hold spiritual power. But when we understand the ancient world — the 12 tribes, the 12 stones, the zodiac, cosmic archetypes, and Christ’s mission — everything suddenly becomes clear:
Crystals are not evil.
Crystals are not divine.
Crystals are tools — physical symbols of cosmic identity given to the 12 tribes under the old order.
This is why crystals appear in the Bible, on the High Priest’s breastplate, and in Revelation. They were not forbidden — but they were never meant to rule your soul.
1. Crystals Are Part of Creation — Not Powers Themselves
The Bible, Christianity, Gnosticism, and Hermeticism all teach the same hierarchy:
God → Angels / Archetypes → Humans → Creation (stones, plants, animals, elements)
Crystals belong to the lowest level of creation. They do not “command” spirits. They do not “channel” gods. They do not “possess” people.
But they DO have resonance — meaning they reflect, like mirrors, the identity of the tribe or archetype they were assigned to.
2. Why Did God Assign Specific Stones to the 12 Tribes?
In Exodus 28, God commands Moses to place 12 gemstones on the High Priest’s breastplate:
- One stone for each tribe
- One vibration / identity for each tribe
- One archetype-pattern for each tribe
This was not magic — it was spiritual identity mapping. Just as each zodiac sign has a symbolic representation in the heavens, each tribe received one on the earth.
3. Why Crystals Feel “Powerful” to Some People
Crystals don’t have power — but they reflect power the same way a mirror reflects sunlight.
Each crystal symbolizes:
- a tribe
- a nation
- a zodiac archetype
- a cosmic governor
This means that crystals are like identity amplifiers. They can stir emotions, intuition, patterns, or states of mind that match that archetype.
This is why some Christians feel “pulled” by certain stones — it is resonance, not demonic possession.
4. The Real Spiritual Danger: Not Crystals — Dependence
The Bible forbids worshiping creation, not using it:
“They worshiped created things rather than the Creator.”
— Romans 1:25
The danger is not the stone. The danger is letting the stone become:
- your identity
- your guide
- your authority
- your source of comfort
- your spiritual director
This is how Israel fell into idolatry. Not because objects were evil — but because they gave those objects spiritual authority.
5. How Jesus Frees Us from Archetypal Influence
Before Christ:
- Each nation was under a cosmic archetype
- Each tribe carried a crystal identity
- Each zodiac sign ruled a portion of humanity
- People were “under the stars”
Paul calls these rulers:
- the elemental powers
- the kosmokrators
- the stoicheia
But Christ broke their authority:
“He disarmed the rulers and authorities.”
— Colossians 2:15
Meaning: You can still study them… you just no longer belong to them.

7. So Should Christians Use Crystals?
Here is the balanced, biblical, spiritually healthy answer:
- Crystals are not evil — they are part of God’s creation.
- Crystals are not sources of power — that is idolatry.
- Crystals symbolically amplify the archetype they belong to — this is resonance, not magic.
- Christ frees you from archetype influence — so the stones have no authority over you.
- Use them symbolically, not spiritually — like a cross, candle, or communion cup.
8. The Final Truth: You Are Above the Archetypes
You do not belong to the 12 zodiac governors. You do not belong to your birthstone. You do not belong to a cosmic ruler. You do not belong to the 12 tribes.
In Christ, you belong to the Most High alone.
This means:
- The archetypes cannot govern you.
- The crystals cannot influence you unless you submit your identity to them.
- The zodiac patterns can be understood without enslaving your soul.
- You can study creation without worshipping it.
The stones symbolized the old order. Christ symbolizes the new.
You are not under the stars. You walk above them.
