Victoria Beckham admits she sleeps with crystals after being introduced to spiritual practice in LA

Victoria Beckham says she sleeps with spiritual crystals beside her bed because she believes in their ‘positive energy.’ 

The fashion designer and former Spice Girl, 47, has curated an enormous collection of crystals at the Cotswolds home she shares with husband David and their four children. 

And she admits they play a key part in her spiritual beliefs, to the point where she likes to have them close to hand at all times.

She told Porter magazine: ‘I have quite a few by the side of my bed, I hold them. I like to meditate – or try to meditate – and relax.’ 

Victoria was introduced to crystals shortly after moving to California in 2007 following David’s surprise move to Los Angeles Galaxy – and she admits to still owning the first one she bought.  

‘My first crystal was a black obsidian and I still carry it everywhere with me,’ she said. ‘I like to surround myself with positive energy, and so often have a little collection of crystals in my handbag.’ 

Victoria has previously incorporated crystals into merchandising campaigns and clothing at her Dover Street boutique, giving shoppers the opportunity to appreciate their apparent aura. 

‘We clipped crystals onto belt loops, and included secret pockets for them on wide leg trousers—so you can carry charms wherever you go,’ she told Elle magazine. 

‘I started by looking at my own crystal collection, and thinking about what might be important to my customer.

‘She’s strong and successful, and I wanted to offer something that could provide support navigating her career and her personal life.

‘As with all my collections, I want to make my customer feel confident and secure, and for me adding crystals felt like a nice way to help do that.’ 

The designer also admits to being superstitious, adding: ‘I don’t walk under a ladder. If I see a magpie, I salute.’
