An alien church has gone viral after one of its “healers” was filmed selling “energy pins” for up to £8,000 ($10,000) a piece.
Footage was shared to TikTok of a vendor and self-proclaimed “healer” called Jay Won explaining that the amulets, which range in price from just £2.68 ($3.33) to an eye-popping £8,000 ($10,000), have powerful abilities.
He says these abilities include promoting a healthy immune system, improving air quality and, at the highest end, providing “infinite stem cell energy”.

Jay explains through his shop Fourth Destiny that the expensive energy pin is a “tool for life” and even a “potential business opportunity” for the buyer.
He insists the stem cell pin is worth millions and “you can easily charge people [for] stem cell sessions in your healing space effortlessly”.
“Neonatal stem cells, which are derived from sources like [the] umbilical cord blood, umbilical cord tissue, and placenta, hold significant potential for a wide range of therapeutic benefits,” he wrote in the pin’s product description.
The pins are used as a vessel for the energy, it is claimed, thanks to the use of “various encoding methods”.
“There was an emphasis on the expensive price on TikTok, when there’s 96 other products that are much more accessible and affordable,” Jay told Need To Know after the TikTok video went viral.
“I also host weekly donation based healing events as well.
“I am a separate entity from the church and my views and beliefs do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of the church.”
In the video, content creator Jessica Palmadessa explores the Alien Church in Los Angeles as well as the notion of energy pins.
“We didn’t buy anything during our visit but they did send us home with some type of stones,” she told Need To Know.
“We just passed by the church when two men came to open the gate and invited us in.”
Social media users have been left baffled by the video.
One wrote: “Bros selling shiny coasters for $1K, why didn’t I think of this?”
A second added: “He’s definitely going to sell them, especially in LA.”
“Millennial here and those are some pricey pogs, my friend!” remarked a third.
The Alien Church said in a statement: “We, as the alien church, officially only sell water, art, and diverse souvenirs items – we don’t sell energy.
“The church also is a mechanism and a platform to many positive artists, performers, and creative people to express themselves, and any artist or person who is creative and positive can sell items at our church.
“Jay Won is an artist and performer at our church and he independently sells the pins of energy.”
The church itself features an altar for alien worship, an extensive eating area as well as a human-sized alien in a religious outfit.
