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!!!
