Wilhelm Reich’s orgone (1940s)

What is the orgonite stone and where does it come from?
It all begins with Wilhelm Reich, a doctor and former student of Sigmund Freud. In the late 1930s and the 1940s, he claimed the existence of a universal life energy he called “orgone.” He devoted his research to it and founded a study center in Maine, which he named Orgonon. There he built “orgone accumulators,” boxes made of alternating layers of organic material and metal.
Orgonite as we know it was born much later, in the 1990s: Karl Welz, then Don and Carol Croft, took up this principle of alternating organic matter and metal, and set it in resin with added crystals.
