The Book of Crystal Spells

I just finished reading a wonderful little book on crystal magick. The Book of Crystal Spells by Ember Grant is a wonderful read. Ember explores the world of crystals in a new and fascinating light. Through out the book you are given spells to try or adapt to fit your own magick. With the inclusion of chant's and rhymes to aid you in your practice.

The Book of Crystal Spells covers all your crystal bases. Ember takes you through clearing, cleansing, charging and dedicating your pieces. With full definitions of each and several ways to achieve the outcome when applicable.

Ember also includes chapters on jewelry, home and garden, elixirs, sand and glass, every day rocks, meditation, numerology, special point. There is even a chapter to get you started on crystal grids. This book is packed full of ideas for every situation and need. With a foundation for you to be able to create your own spells as well.

A wonderful little surprise is that in the appendix Ember has included a section on crystal structure. So not only is there extensive work given on the metaphysical property and uses of crystals. There is information on there science as well, in the form of there structure. A fun little addition that I only saw one other place in this type of book.

The Book of Crystal Spells is a tome that everyone who is interested in crystal magick should acquire. Ember as a wonderful way to present the material. With a fun and adventurous way to look at crystal, mineral and everyday stones. I hope you to will find this book a necessity for your library as well.

Crystals

For many years now I have been collecting crystals and stones. When I first started collecting I was directed by a friend to, Love is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals - The Reference Book Describing the Metaphysical Properties of the Mineral Kingdom by Melody. Over the years I have collected all of her books on crystals. They are wonderful and you learn a lot of the metaphysical properties of the stones and crystals. But I never acquired a magic book on crystals. Well that is until now.

I just finished reading Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gems and Metal Magic, By Scott Cunningham. This book is very reminiscent to his herbal encyclopedia. There are four part's to this book. First Cunningham starts with the different lore and relationships with the element's, colors, ancients and magic itself. The second part is the crystal encyclopedia itself, followed by the metal encyclopedia. The fourth section has all the appendixes that Cunningham is famous for.

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gems and Metal Magic is a word of knowledge in the crystal, gem and metal world. As only he can tell it he guides you into the lore and ancient uses for well over a hundred pieces. Each crystal, gem or metal has the folk name, energy, plant/'s, element/'s, deity, associated stones, powers, magical / ritual lore and finally magical uses.

If you have any interest in using the crystal, gem and metal world in your magick. Then this book is a good reference piece for you to have. Scott was a wonderful writer and this book is no different. I hope that you would indulge your self in a very informative book on the this. Enjoy!!!
