Q&A with Arcane Mercantile
Cate: Hi Lindsey! I’m excited to dive into how crystals and your other beautiful products can complement a psilocybin journey. To start, can you tell us a little about Arcane Mercantile and what inspired you to create this space?
Lindsey: Arcane Mercantile is my passion project — a place where people can find unique, energetically charged items that support their spiritual journeys. I’ve always been drawn to the metaphysical world, and creating Arcane allowed me to share that love with others. We offer a variety of crystals, herbs, candles, and other tools to help people connect with themselves and the world around them on a deeper level.
Cate: Your shop has such a wonderful energy, and it feels like every piece is chosen with intention. How do you select the crystals and other products for Arcane Mercantile?
Lindsey: I focus on sourcing high-quality, ethically mined crystals and working with small, trusted suppliers. Each item in the shop is selected based on its unique energy, beauty, and potential to support personal transformation. I also spend time cleansing and charging each crystal to ensure it’s vibrating at its highest potential.
Cate: I love that! From your perspective, how can crystals enhance a psilocybin journey?
Lindsey: Crystals can be powerful allies during a psychedelic journey by helping to create a safe, supportive environment. They work on an energetic level to enhance intentions, protect, ground, and amplify the healing potential of the journey. For example, amethyst is known for its calming properties and can help soothe anxiety, while rose quartz opens the heart to self-love and compassion. Clear quartz amplifies energy and intentions, making it a great companion for those looking to gain clarity or connect more deeply with their journey.
Cate: That’s beautiful. Many of our clients at Prism Bend have found that incorporating crystals like rose quartz or clear quartz has deepened their sense of connection and clarity during their journey, serving as tangible reminders of their intentions. Are there any specific crystals or tools you recommend for someone preparing for or integrating their journey?
Labradorite crystal from Arcane Mercantile
Lindsey: Absolutely. For preparation, grounding stones like black tourmaline or smoky quartz are great for creating a sense of safety and protection. Selenite is another great option — it helps clear the mind and open spiritual channels, making it easier to set intentions. For integration, labradorite can help process and retain insights, while green aventurine is excellent for heart healing and bringing newfound insights into daily life. Ritual candles infused with herbs and essential oils can also set a calming atmosphere, both before and after the journey.
Cate: Those are fantastic tips. I often recommend grounding and heart-opening practices to clients, so it’s lovely to hear how crystals support those aspects. Do you have any favorite ways to incorporate crystals into a journey?
Lindsey: One simple way is to hold or keep a crystal nearby during the journey, especially one that resonates with your intention. You can also create a small altar or sacred space with crystals, candles, and other meaningful items to set the tone for the journey. Meditating with crystals beforehand can help align your energy and focus your intentions, and placing crystals around your space can create a protective and supportive environment.
Cate: Thank you for sharing your insights and wisdom! Your suggestions are a beautiful way to enhance and support the psilocybin journey experience. How can people find out more about your offerings or get in touch?
Lindsey: You can visit us at Arcane Mercantile in Bend, Oregon or check out our website for more information on our crystals, candles, and other spiritual tools. We’re here to help guide you in finding the perfect items to support your journey.
