22. Magic Jewelry and the Irony of Ignorance

The plot for the epic fantasy series Lord of The Rings centered on, well, a ring. Not just any ring, but a magic ring. The “one ring to rule them all” bestowed immense power on its owner: the power of invisibility, the power to dominate the wills of others, and power over the bearers of subservient rings. But in this month’s column, I discuss jewelry with such extraordinary properties, it’d make even Bilbo Baggins envious. These charms and trinkets can harness quantum energy fields, resonate with the body’s intrinsic frequencies, emit magnetic pulses, and surround the owner with protective and healing energies. From sports performance to health and healing, there are earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings for every desire. And, unlike “The One Ring” that was forged in the fires of Mount Doom, these knickknacks can be found at your local pharmacy.
