BILL'S RESUME

"Crystal" for the purpose of this resume refers to quartz crystal.

Anytime, anywhere, anybody talks about anything, I always wonder, is this person qualified to discuss this subject?

I offer this resume only to reveal the tracks of my past. Fortunately, I was introduced to crystals from a scientific standpoint. Thus, I learned how, why and what crystals do before I became aware of the "woo woo" surrounding them.

I am very, very passionate about the crystal world and crystal business. A crystal is a wonderful friend, helper etc. They, although not having outward human characteristics, are another species we share this planet with. A crystal is a steady helpmate and compassionate friend on your spiritual walk. Together, you open dimensions to many unseen worlds. Nothing is more important than ones spiritual walk. Please, walk with power and self-responsibility. Every step taken in life should be full of fun and adventure.

A dealer with knowledge and experience is a tremendous asset in bringing mystical stones to this walk. I consider it a sacred trust. With you, and of course, with my higher self.

This resume cannot show the knowledge I realized on my hands and knees tracking a bear, watching a mother deer nurse her fawn, the times I have held a crystal until it glows or what comes to me as I wander in nature. Nature is truly the greatest of healers. I, as anyone spending time in Nature, have had many seemingly mystical experiences. But, these are for my personal growth, not for discussion or to be used to impress.

A mentor of mine is fond of saying "One never becomes a Shaman, you just spend your life studying to be one."

1972:
Bobbye Hall - Absent or distant healing and journeying. Met Marcel Vogel at a Texas seminar sponsored by Bobbye. Marcel introduces me to my first Vogel crystal. I immediately ask him to cut me a four sided healing wand and a four sided meditation piece.

Early 1980's:
Sun Bear- Chippewa Medicine Man - Vision Quested, pipe, etc. Beginning of Shamanic studies.

Marcel Vogel- Certified by Marcel in Vogel crystal healing and spiritual extraction techniques. Have used and taught the "Vogel" healing/extraction method and sold vogel crystals since then.

Marcel invites me to work with him at Psychic Research Inc. in San Jose, Ca. Due to divorce, closing of my business in Texas etc. I think "cool" and move to "La La land" Ca. ( to a Texas cowboy steeped in redneck traditions anyway ). Hung around the center a few days, decided research was boring, said goodbye. My wandering footsteps led me to Mt. Shasta, Ca. I'm still here. All my ex's remain in Texas.

Crystals are my world. I see and feel them on several levels. They contain many, many unseen veils humans are just beginning to penetrate.

On this planet alone, over the last 26 years, searching for the unusual in crystal, I have traveled many thousands of miles examining thousands of stones. By "feeling" a crystal I often know it's origin on the planet, it's age in millions of years relative to other crystals from other places and sometimes how it lay in Mother Earth previous to being mined.

I attend several gem and mineral shows each year, travel to Brazil and other mining areas consulting with a network of miners, dealers, healers, shamen, psychics, etc. worldwide. My store has crystals and other stones from Arkansas, Utah, Brazil, China, Madagascar, Ural Mountains, Afghanistan, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Tibet, i.e. every known type from this planet, and even a few from off planet.

Often a miner/dealer will say to me "Ah, today for you my good friend".. { My ....muscles start to pucker } .."I will give you these beautiful crystals on consignment"...I reply... "Oh, thank you for the honor, but I must decline your wonderful offer". We both smile...I relax. I have passed his test and proven I am a knowledgeable buyer..... Unless truly desperate, never, ever accept consignments from dealer/miners. Consignment crystal has been picked over, leaving only the poorest grades. After all, why consign material if you can sell it? In Brazil, I have seen tons of this type crystal, stacked like cordwood. Occasionlly, at shows, I see some poor wannabee dealer loaded down with it.

I choose only the most exciting, exceptional stones. You will notice our crystals are exceedingly clear and "feel" really great and loving. Like humans, the more love given to them, the more they glow, returning that love.

I use the crystals I sell in my own endeavors and/or healing practice. And, hopefully, I am clear on this, any information I give about crystals is from hard won personal knowledge, not a channeling, rumor, or latest fad.

"...remember that information is mere theory, whilst knowledge is something gained from experience."....Theun Mares

Weeell.....enough about me..."Going to be long in town"?
Thank You!!!!!!

MISSION STATEMENT

Use my 26 years experience and knowledge of the crystal industry to make available for clients the planets finest stones at the most reasonable prices.
Continue to develop the "Master Healing Crystal Series^TM" of healing/meditation pieces/wands using three prime sources of knowledge:

1. Legacy of Marcel Vogel. I.E. Grounded, scientific crystal knowledge.
2. Shamanic (I.E. The “old ways”) Techniques. Just as the old time Shaman/Healer used the natural world around them { bone, feathers, animal parts, sticks, stones and plants in the creation of magical tools}, we do the same using crystal.
3. Dreams of Atlantis/Lemuria Wisdom.

The Master Healing Crystals™ are to be an asset for anyone: Healers of all modalities and species, the practicing Shaman on the mountainside crying for a vision, those with, or attempting to, contact off planet beings, the lightest of light workers, anyone interested in true crystal knowledge for walking their own path. The list is endless.

Be an asset to our own clients and realizing clients of all healers deserve the finest, provide it.

American owned and operated we support the american worker.... 93% of the Master Healing Crystal Series™...and 100% of the Ruby Lavender™ pieces being handcrafted in the USA.

In an industry fraught with mis-information, continue to pursue true crystal knowledge, dispelling the "woo woo" for good, solid, grounded knowledge.

“Crystal Wings is a rest stop/supply house on one's way to the spiritual realms."
