Marcel Vogel

Pioneer, Visionary

By Dr. Barbara LaRocca and Bill Hurley

An authentic Vogel Crystal is a natural quartz crystal that is cut to unfold their fullest power. This is the story and journey of Marcel Vogel, the creator of the Vogel Crystal.

Marcel Vogel (1917-1991) was with IBM for 27 years doing research and development. He developed the magnetic coating for IBM’s disc drive, the first liquid crystal displays, or LCD, and researched the effect of the mind and emotion on plants. He eventually began to use raw, single terminated quartz crystals. By pointing the crystal at another person, he discovered that the crystal amplified thoughts and emotions, often putting the individual into an altered state of consciousness.

After leaving IBM, Vogel continued his research on the use of quartz crystals and their ability to heal people. He founded the Psychic Research Inc., a group dedicated to intensive research into healing energies, especially those of various shapes of quartz crystals.

He discovered that doubled terminated wands, cut in the same spatial ratios and proportions of the Tree of Life and pyramids of Egypt, are able to transmit energy that can scientifically be measured.

Inner Knowing, Conscious Caring, and Intention
Vogel was cutting the wands to reflect the famous alchemical transmutation, “as above, so below.” With the proportions dictated by the Tree of Life and the pyramids of Egypt, he cut the raw quartz — always pieces that had somehow been broken from their source — and no longer had a consistent or symmetrical flow of energy. Each raw piece of quartz (clear, smoky, amethyst, citrine, rutilated) was looked at with an inner sense of its true shape. In addition, the quartz crystals were cut to the frequency of water molecules allowing them to resonate with the liquids in the body. The cutting was done with conscious caring and intention that enabled the crystal to find its true potential and optimum ability to transmit and amplify energy.

Crystals Heal the Etheric Body
Vogel knew that the real origin of illness is in the etheric body. Although the body or emotions sustain a trauma, the etheric body holds the memory of physical or emotional injury and it can become stagnant, distorted, or stuck. The result of this unstable or blocked energy is illness. He discovered that crystals are the common thread in healing that ties together energy, illness, and problems in the etheric body.

Whenever light from the higher realms comes into a person’s body, the light gets refracted if the etheric body is not stable. This can cause illness. The Vogel cut crystal gives the user immediate access to the etheric body and stabilizes it, allowing light from the higher realms to enter. Also, a matrix or template of perfection already exists inside the etheric body. Even when there is physical or emotional trauma, the matrix still exists and can be brought back to optimum conditions by the use of Vogel cut crystals.

Absolute Clarity of Intention
The actual technique used by the Vogel practitioner is simple but intense. The first key is the clear intention of sending only healing and love to the one being healed. In addition, when learning to do healing, the practitioner develops the ability to clear his or her mind and intentions, as well as raise their state of consciousness. A practitioner can meditate with the wand over the thymus, sometimes called the seat of the soul located in the middle of the chest above the heart. The crystal will help to train the user’s ability to concentrate, stay conscious of thoughts and feelings, align inner energy, focus intention, and prepare to bring the best possible healing to the one being healed.

The person doing the treatment with a Vogel cut crystal directs the crystal in an amplified field up and down the persons body until the charge is at maximum. The individual being treated visualizes the area to be treated and goes to the cause of his or her discomfort, imaging that it will be released with a pulse of breath. This breaks up and clears patterns of trauma that have been stored in bone, organs, or tissue.

Cut to the Vibration of Water
Each of the Vogel crystals are cut and tuned to the vibration of water (see our article, How Do I Know It’s A Real Vogel?). The number of sides the crystal has determines the charge capacity.

The four-sided healing crystal is for treatment of the body. The six-sided crystal is for emotional problems. The eight-sided is for treating deep shock and severe trauma. The thirteen-sided reaches into past lives and releases blocks and resolves trauma.

Anyone who wants to connect more deeply with the earth’s resources can see that Marcel Vogel was a true visionary. He was a pioneer in the research on the use of the earth’s gift of crystal. For this we are thankful.
