We recently had the chance to connect with Cristal Byrns-Cavallaro and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Cristal, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What do you think is misunderstood about your business?
I believe a lot of people misunderstand what spirituality truly is, and what spiritual candles actually do. Many think they’re just pretty candles with nice scents, but there’s so much more intention behind them. Each candle is crafted to hold energy, meaning, and purpose they’re tools for reflection, healing, and manifestation. Spirituality isn’t about quick fixes or trends; it’s about connecting with yourself and the universe on a deeper level. My candles are meant to support that journey.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Cristal Magick is more than just a candle company it’s a journey into intention, energy, and self-discovery. Founded and lovingly crafted by Cristal, Cristal Magick creates spiritual candles designed to do more than light a room. Each candle is infused with purpose, drawing on rituals, crystals, and sacred intention to help individuals manifest, heal, and connect with their inner selves.
In a world where spirituality is often misunderstood, Cristal Magick serves as a bridge, making spiritual practices accessible, meaningful, and beautiful. Every candle is a tool, a reminder, and a guide supporting moments of reflection, meditation, and personal growth.
Currently, Cristal Magick is expanding to include a special line dedicated to Hekate, the goddess of magic, crossroads, and transformation. This collection is designed to honor her energy, inviting deeper connection, protection, and empowerment into your spiritual practice.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My husband. He has been my rock, my supporter, and my biggest fan from the very beginning. He sees me not just my successes, but my dreams, my struggles, and everything in between. His belief in me has given me the courage to grow, create, and share my passion with the world.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
It was when I fully embraced spirituality. I realized that my struggles weren’t weaknesses to be hidden, but sources of strength and wisdom. Through rituals, reflection, and intention, I learned to transform my pain into guidance, my challenges into lessons, and my experiences into fuel for growth. Spirituality gave me the tools to turn what once held me back into the very power that propels me forward.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes. The world sees a serious, hardworking version of me someone focused, determined, and dedicated to my craft. But that’s only part of the story. Behind that image is a person who is deeply passionate, intuitive, and connected to her spiritual journey. The public version is my commitment in action, but the private version is where my dreams, reflections, and vulnerabilities live the part that fuels my creativity, my resilience, and the work I share with the world.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
I think people will misunderstand my legacy. Some may see it as coming from my past or from my time on reality TV, but that wasn’t truly me. It was a version of me a version shaped by circumstances and expectations, not by my authentic self. What people saw was a snapshot, a character constructed for the spotlight, not the real Cristal. My real legacy isn’t about what was broadcast or assumed; it’s about the work I’m creating now, the spiritual journey I’m on, and the energy and intention I put into Cristal Magick. That is the true reflection of who I am — the part that heals, empowers, and inspires.
