During the 18th century, enlightenment was a philosophical movement. It was a movement stressing the importance of reason and critical appraisal of existing ideas and social institutions. Many feel, believe, and share in enlightenment. So much that there are many books, classes, institutions, seminars, and stores available to those seeking enlightenment. Scott and Joy Meredith, Owners of Crystal Fantasy Enlightenment Center have been offering a plethora of choices to our community for more than 20 years.
