I'm brand new to grids and I originally ordered Hibiscus Moon's Crystal Grids: How and Why They Work but plan on returning it for this book Crystal Grids by Henry Mason because for the basically the same price there is a lot more info and layouts to choose from- probably more than I'll need. It's not that you couldn't set up a grid with Hibiscus Moons book- you definitely can and it's pretty straight forward in approach, but I like having more than I need when it comes to a new subject I am unfamiliar with and Mason's book fills that need.I just did a cursory read thru of Mason's book in B&N and decided to order from saving 6$. There's a lot of info Mason has packed in here and it's great for newbies lke me and I suspect even a pro can find something here. Not only does he go into depth about how to set up the grid and which grid to choose but there are also grid stories/case studies. Very detailed and informative bookI'll update the review once I've examined it in more depth and tried a layout.
If I had known this was a Llewellyn publication, I would have been more hesitant about buying it. Like so many of their books, this was like dipping a toe into water, but not being able to get completely wet because a lot of substance wasn't there. For example, I'd like to know why five is the number of life and of birth. This little factoid went totally unexplained. I also took issue with his description of the planets traveling in circular motions. Johannes Kapler proved in the 16th century that planetary orbits were ellipses, not circles. There is more, but I'll leave it at that. Also, he has the the direction of energy flowing in exactly the opposite direction of what I was taught, which was that the energy is in the stones and flows through the focus stone into the universe to be manifested. The focus stone is usually six sided, with a point at one end and a flat base at the other, and is usually the same type of crystal as those in the grid, although quartz always works. Needless to say, I found the book very disappointing.
Crystal Grids by Henry M Mason is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late February in order to learn about what seems to be a beautiful and particular self-help method and as part of my 2016 Book Bingo card's "A book I wouldn't usually read" square.Although it is, yes, not a book I would usually read, there's no denying that Mason et. al.'s description of planning, creating, and analyzing crystal grids is incredibly vivid, as well as unexpectedly nurturing and acknowledging a higher power with great reverence.
book has great contents but then you go to use the grids and the crystals they ask you to use are either uncommon or expensive or both. mixed reviews due to that. but the information on grids is very good.
Great book read it in 3 evenings.Informative,easy to read,understand, and lists all the,steps.can purchase stones and gems off his Web site. Great useful book.
