I like Lisa Chamberlain's books, her beginners books are just that. They tell you what you want and need to know to see if you are really interested in the subject. Crystals and stones are important in magic and she explains the how, why, cleaning of the stones, and the way they can be used. She shares some interesting spells to go with the Crystals & Stones.
Wow, I had no idea. As a new witch there is so much to learn and this book does not fail to enthrall and captivate you with new information. Everytime I read one of Lisa Chamberlain's books I get so much more than what I expected. She has an easy read flair with her books that I simply love. Packed full of "what every witch needs to know" and served up in a creative manner. Can't wait for your next project.
This book is clear and easy to understand. It gives a basic overview of crystal magic, how it works, how to work it, ways to cleanse your crystals, and points you in the direction of further information if you want it. The author's writing style is engaging and logical without being dry.
I found the first part somewhat redundant, as I have read many books on Wicca and Paganism, but that is a personal issue. I was especially impressed with the mini guide of 13 budget friendly, and common crystals. The information included is thorough and quickly accessible for future reference. The beginner spells are also helpful, and concise leaving plenty of room for interpretation while not leaving a newbie to crystals work wondering what to do next. Another part I was happy to see was the treatment of cleaning, clearing, and changing. The author provides several avenues and makes it a point to stress that all are acceptable, that what works for one crystal might not work for another or even the same crystal the next time, and that if none of the ones mentioned resonate then it is very important to find what does feel right for you in that instance. Definitely a guide I will refer to in the future, and send others to.
This book is very interesting to say the least. It is very well written and easy to understand. The author has done a great job explaining the use of crystal magic in Wicca. I use it quite often and I am very comfortable with using everything the way the author describes. I am so glad I took the time to read this book. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
I liked the structure of the book, it is easy to read and is not "heavy". It is most suitable for novices like me, as it provides a step-by-step description of practices with crystals and minerals. It also gives you a lot of room to your own thinking as you read along. It is not a manual where you follow a prescribed routine, but rather a recipe or a guide which provides scaffolding. Very inspirational and positive! It filled my heart and soul with so much gratitude for the earth gifts and for everything Mother Nature has given us which we take for granted!
Beginner books are often to general or vague to get much out of them, but this is not the case here. This book is very easy to ad and understand. It is even good at providing help when u are starting to practice. Study it, enjoy it, and have confidence that it will help. Enjoy that is what life and education is for.
I really enjoyed the book Candle Magic. I like how the she reminded you to clean the crystals used in a ritual. She gave more than one way to cleanse tools and crystals,not every one has access to a running stream of water. The salt and moon are what most use but she reminds the practitioner to be watchful and not damage your tools they are alive and valuable. I also like how she keeps the rituals simple and she reminds us we can add to the ritual if we need but heed her reminder don't leave a candle unattended and when you add to your ritual do not hurt anyone or affect free will.Namaste Marc
