A Cosmic Connection

Have you ever gazed at the night sky and felt an unexplainable connection to the twinkling stars above? There’s a reason for that—science and spirituality converge in a breathtaking truth: we are quite literally made of stardust and minerals. This profound realization ties us to the cosmos in ways both mystical and scientific, reinforcing our deep-rooted connection to the universe.

The Science of Stardust

Carl Sagan famously said, "We are made of star stuff." But what does that really mean? When stars reach the end of their life cycle, they explode in supernovae, scattering elements like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and iron throughout the cosmos. These elements eventually become part of new stars, planets, and—millions of years later—us. Every atom in our bodies, except for hydrogen, was forged in the heart of an ancient star.

The Minerals Within Us

Beyond stardust, our bodies are composed of essential minerals that are also found in the Earth and throughout the cosmos. Calcium strengthens our bones, iron carries oxygen in our blood, and magnesium supports muscle function. These same minerals exist in the very crystals and stones we work with for healing, energy alignment, and spiritual growth.

The Mystical Connection: Cosmic Alchemy

From an esoteric perspective, knowing that we are composed of stardust and minerals deepens our understanding of energy work and manifestation. Crystals resonate with our bodies because we share the same mineral compositions. The stars influence our lives because they are part of our very being. When we work with celestial energies and earthly minerals, we align with our own cosmic origins.

By embracing this awareness, we can tap into the numinous, allowing ourselves to feel spellbound by the sheer magic of existence. This knowledge reinforces the idea that our energy, intentions, and spiritual practices are all part of the grand cosmic dance of the universe.

This article walks you through FAQs and troubleshoots related to your domain and DNS records. For how to set up your custom domain for your Fourthwall shop, go to: How do I use a custom domain?

What is DNS?

You can think of DNS as the internet’s version of your phone’s contact page. Even though you may not know your friend’s numbers, you know their name in your address book. DNS does the same so that you can remember a site like “youtube.com” and not its underlying IP address. 

Can I use a subdomain?

Yes. Just enter your subdomain like "subdomain.example.com" and it'll work in the exact same way as your top-level domain (TLD).

I’m not sure who my DNS provider is. How can I find this?

Visit nslookup.io and type in your domain name. Scroll to the bottom where it says the nameservers and that’ll indicate your DNS provider. 

How can I tell if my DNS record was entered correctly?

To check if your record was entered correctly, you can visit nslookup.io and type in the record name. If the value matches what Fourthwall's system displays, then it'll sync momentarily. If not, there are usually two common errors:
