Crystals, tarot, manifestation, cleansing, moon-phase practice, and the shops and sellers that supply them — the loose body of practice that the trade itself calls metaphysical, treated here as a real and documented set of customs, a real retail sector, and a real supply chain.

The section takes the practices seriously as practices without conceding their physical claims. Where a claim has been tested, the page says what the test found. Where a stone has a mine behind it, the page says where the mine is and who works it. Neither is treated as an aside.

This is deliberately not Religion and not World Zodiacs. Those two cover organised faith and the seven sign systems respectively, and both overlap this section at the edges — astrology is a zodiac topic, Wicca is a religion topic. What lands here is the contemporary, commercial, mostly-online strand that borrows from both and belongs to neither.
