It would be possible for me to walk into a bookstore and come out with half of their Pagan section (or New Age, since we're relegated to a fad instead of being an actual religion in the eyes of most bookstores). It would be great for the learning aspect, which I consider an important part of living life, but not so easy on the bank account. That means I have to be selective with my purchases and I tend to rely a lot on online reviews. When I saw this book on Lewellyn's upcoming titles I knew that I had to get it, which is what I did.I've never heard of Ember Grant, but the premise of her book, The Book of Crystal Spells - Magical Uses for Stones, Crystals, Minerals...And Even Sand, was of interest to me. I'm a crystal junkie, this much is known by all that are close to me, and I tend to collect books on the subject almost as much as the crystals themselves. I've been interested in crystal magic for quite some time and have used it with successful results in the past. For that reason, and because of my sense of curiosity, I knew I had to have the book. I'm so thankful that it turned out to be a good read and a valuable resource that I will likely refer to again and again.The book has ten chapters and contains a lot of useful information. Even as an admirer of Judy Hall, I must admit that a lot of current books on the market tend to feature the same information that she has in her works, so I was pleasantly surprised to find her name and titles missing from the author's bibliography. Instead, she used a variety of other research materials combined with her own experience, making this book a great tool for anyone interested in crystal magic. Even better is that the majority of it isn't redundant and not available in any other book that you could buy.This book is less about crystal healing and more about spellcraft via crystals, so if you're looking for the latter you'll be surprised. While the author herself admits there is overlap between the two, such as using crystal grids and elixirs, and meditating with the crystals, the two are just as equally different from one another. This book gets to the nitty gritty (no pun intended) of using your own energy, pairing it with crystals, and using the enhanced product to bring about change in the world. Crystal healing is similar, yes, but also not quite the same.The Book of Crystal Spells features some of the usual subjects, such as cleansing and empowering crystals, but it also delves into newer waters that some people may not think of exploring. One of those is using sand, which is given an entire chapter. It's a subject that I didn't give much thought at all to before this book, but now I find myself looking at it in an entirely different way. Is there anything more you can ask of a book?Another gem (pun intended) of this book was the association with numerology. My eyes have been opened to numerology before but through this chapter I was able to calculate my life path number and pair them to crystals. Many of them were ones that I've used before though I was saddened to see some of my favorites missing from the list. Which is okay, in the long run, as we all have different crystals that speak to us throughout our lifetimes.I could go on and on about the positives of this book, but I feel I should touch on a couple of the negatives. The first isn't much of a downside for most people, but as a lover of ametrine, I was a little bummed to find no references to it in this book. I tend to think of ametrine as a crystal that is more than just the sum of its parts, so it would have been nice to see it featured here in some aspect or another. To those of you that couldn't care less about ametrine, you likely won't miss it.My second issue with the book is kind of a double edged sword. I enjoy using rhymes when it comes to my spells. I find they set the tone and help me with my focus. Also, if I do say so myself, I seem mysterious and powerful as I wave my hands over crystals and candles and chant some rhyming couplets. But I have to be honest here as some of the chants are a little hokey and a few are just downright silly. All in all, I would only consider using about 40% of those given, but I also tend to write my own spells anyway.This book is geared to a beginner to crystal spell work. Even experts at the subject will find some use here, even if it is just the appendix. This thing is loaded with useful information including Platonic Solids descriptions, associations by season and day of the week, and even important details in relation to the color spectrum. All in all, get this book. I don't think you'll regret it one bit.
While I work with natural whenever possible, I've never thought of using sand in spells before. I haven't finished reading this book and yet I find it very informative and easy to follow. Unlike some of the spell books I have bought before, I didn't find a rehash of spells that I can find for free on the web. I will buy other books by this author and it is an essential book to have in any witch's library. It is certainly essential to have in this witch's library.
Whether magic spells work or not is not really not the question here. I choose to think they do from using them. I have had a great deal of success with crystal grids, and am impressed with this writer's work in expressing the many uses of spells throughout history.The book is organized in a clear and concise way, and gives easy to remember poetic phrases to induce a spell.If a reader was interested in spells for certain subjects, the information is here in this volume ,and presented in such a way that it makes it easy to get going with your spell.If we only base our estimations of what we see in life on what our eyes can see, I think we miss a great deal. What The Book of Crystal Spells does, is goes below or above the surface to work on hidden meanings beyond the ordinary, and provide additional information as to how to proceed with issues in life that need to be addressed.A well written and thoughtful volume.
This book is very complete and simple. The use of Crystals, sand and rock minerals are simple and effective way. Many of these rituals I use often although with some variations for many years (my journals from 1969 to today). Other rituals taught in this book are new to me. Good book for every apprentice.
If you love crystals, get this book. It is jammed packed with soooooo much knowledge and unique ideas for spells. I love the whole idea of using sand in magic. Of course sand is a magical material!!!I've been enjoying my book and have it all marked up with notes and tabs. It is a good book for summer, now that you will be out doors and can work with San, stones and water in nature.
I love crystals and have a ton of crystal books - this is by far the best of them! It's so useful, not just another list of crystal meanings - I can't recommend this book highly enough, a must have :)
Love this book... it informs you of different ways to cleanse and charge stones/crystals, it offers a lot of spells and chants, and even touches on numerology, of course it includes a traditional birthstone list, and it has a nice stone/crystal metaphysical correspondence list as well as a list by use, it touches on Chakra stones and it goes over crystal systems and special quartz points.
This book was a gift for my boyfriend's birthday, and it was just what he was looking for. He works with stones, crystals and minerals WAY more than I do, so I don't really have any personal criteria with which to review the book, but for someone who works with the mentioned materials a LOT, my boyfriend really likes this book. He said it's easy to read and follow, and is a great complement to his already large selection of stone and spell books. Hope this helps others. Blessed Be.
