Samurai Assuming I Am Just An Old Man Was Your First Mistake T-shirt

Assistant market editor Ciarra Lorren Zatorski was lucky enough to have a one-on-one crystal reading session with Mariah K. Lyons, founder of the Samurai Assuming I Am Just An Old Man Was Your First Mistake T-shirt brand Astara, which incorporates stones into its shoes. “We’re moving into a space of living more intentionally and it comes down to what people want to put into their body and their life,” Lyons says, and crystals are a part of that. Zatorski notes that though Lyons’s process was initially foreign to her, Lyons identified stones that correlated to her values and helped her clarify intentions, such as family and prosperity. Meanwhile, the healing intentions that I have found most useful to focus on are creativity, visualization, self-care, and balance.
