I'm kind of obsessed with this book. I think it's the perfect crystal book for beginners, but will also work well for those further along in their journey. The layout of the book does a great job setting up a foundation and builds on it as you progress. I often find myself struggling to identify my crystals or what their purpose is, but this book does a beautiful job of describing them, their properties, and how to properly use them in your daily rituals. Additionally, the graphics in this book are stunning and very aesthetically pleasing. I'm excited to try some of the rituals and perhaps a spell or two? Most of the information is easily digestible and relatively easy to understand but I wish in some parts the author would've gone into more detail instead of saying do your own research for more information only because I find crystal research overwhelming!

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

I just read Self-Love Crystals by Katie Huang. #SelfLoveCrystals #NetGalley This is a great book that I will be keeping near by to reference. I really like how the author gave a affirmation and ritual for each crystal described in this book. Thinking that I will also need to get a physical copy. Thank you.

I love this book so much! It has medical warnings, reminds you not all crystals should be put in water and salt. Has adorable art. The rituals are easy to understand and well written. I have been practicing for over 15 years and this was still useful.

A Must Have Reference Book

The author has divided this book into three parts, and that this book is a comprehensive guide to harnessing the transformative power of crystals for cultivating self-love and personal growth, and it contains tips on how to use this book. The parts of this book are discussed below:
1. In Part 1, she states that this book covers all the basics, providing you with a solid foundation in crystal healing. Additionally, she states that readers will explore topics such as how crystal healing works, crystal selection, charging, cleansing methods, and an introduction to the chakras.
2. In the second part of this book, the author discusses thirty powerful crystals for self-love, with each crystal's individual properties, uses, unique energies, suggested practices being discussed, and how they can support you on you on your self-love journey.
3. In Part 3 she discusses spells, rituals, and states that this section of the book is dedicated to empowering you with a variety of crystal crystal healing practices. Here, you will find spells, rituals, and meditations designed to support different aspects of self-love Feel free to explore these practices in any order that resonates with you.

The author discusses how crystals works, how you should select your specific crystals, how to care for them, and she lists the following tools that crystal owners may use to cleanse their crystals:
1. Water
2. Smoke
3. Sound
4. Salt
5. Sunlight
6. Moonlight

The author discusses the crystals associated with our chakra system, the crystal's description, associated chakra, affirmation, and provides a ritual that one may use when using each crystal.

I feel this is a great book for beginners. It is packed with a lot a information on crystals, altar setup, crystal information, and many rituals and spells. I highly recommend it.

Firstly, I really liked how this book was laid out, introducing the reader to the intentions of crystals, how to cleanse them and then breaking down the chakras and giving a short introduction to associated crystals gave a informative but brief overview and allowed the reader to know what they would be encountering in the rest of the book.

Something that I found different from other crystal books was that not only does Huang talk about the crystals and provide descriptions and uses but she also outlines the specific chakra and provides affirmations and rituals for them. This enables the reader to explore how they can use the crystal and for those who are being introduced to crystals it helps them learn about how to use them and how they can benefit from them in their lives. The illustrations in this book are beautiful representations of how you can visualise and utilise the crystals, they are lovely delicate drawings of the crystals.

I appreciated that the Spells, Rituals and Meditations chapter of the book focused on minor light magic and didn't present spells that could cause harm or be misinterpreted, the energy of the book is light and loving and this is something that strengthens the book and makes it an enjoyable and easy read that is uplifting. The book supports the message of self-love and focuses the spells/rituals on ways to improve yourself and create a positive image of yourself for you only.

"Self-Love Crystals" by Katie Huang is not just a book; it's a thoughtful companion for those venturing into self-love, healing, and the enchanting world of crystals. Personally, I found the information well-crafted, making it accessible even for non-readers. It's a gem of a gift for anyone starting their journey into self-care. The exquisite artwork, resonating with each topic's aura, adds a delightful touch.

I appreciate the practical cautions, like when to perform healing spells and using distilled water instead of salt water. The inclusion of historical insights on crystals and their connections to Greek gods adds a fascinating layer. Descriptions of each crystal and their ties to the chakra system further enrich the reader's understanding. Overall, the book seamlessly combines practical advice with captivating details, making it a must-have for modern mystics.

Self-Love Crystals contains a lot of information to help jumpstart anyone's journey to healing crystals. I saw this title at my local bookstore, and noticed that NetGalley had a copy of it. So thank you NetGalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review!

I found the pages to be very well designed with a simple-to-read layout. The information was easy to grasp and the glossary at the back helped me understand what each crystal looked like. I also appreciated understand what crystals could be washed with water, and what needed to be cleansed in another matter.

The only issue I have with this book is that I wish it was more informative. I feel like it provided me a very surface level view of crystals and while it's a great place for new people to start off with, I felt myself itching for more.

Thank you to Netgalley and Leaping Hare Press for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a lovely book which is a great crystal 101. The books beautiful illustrations make identifying crystals very easy as well as telling you their uses. It includes details on how to clean and cleanse crystals and includes affirmations and spells you can use in your daily life to promote self love. I am sure this would be a great reference guide for beginnings and people who have been practicing for years. I look forwards to using the book to help me on my journey of finding out more about crystals and there properties and how they can help me in my every day life. I will be buying a physical copy of this book it is so beautifully laid out and designed.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the free book in exchange for an honest review. I recently got into crystals this year and have been reading and learning all I can about them. I loved this book for someone who needs to spend more time taking care of myself. This book has so many helpful ideas for those who are unsure how to use crystals in their lives. This book was stunning from the gorgeous drawings to the layout - this book was a work of art and a labor of love. I was absolutely in love with all of this book. Overall this is a great book for beginners who are unsure where to start reading and learning about crystals.

I have not seen anything so perfect as Dr. Oaikhen spell,  I have always lived a life of a happy man but when my lover left me then everything about me changed, This was because I loved her so much and at times she was always part of my daily life. I was in pain for some days till I came across Dr. Oaikhen confidential details which led me to contact Dr. Oaikhen and through his help my lover who left me came back to me and right now she is more interested in me than before. These are some of the things you intend to benefit from when you contact Dr. Oaikhen through the following details via WhatsApp: at +229 5794 6279

[Irene · Rating 4 out of 5]

Self-Love Crystals by Katie Huang is for those interested in learning all about crystals and their properties in building and embracing their own well-being. Written in an easy to understand, informative style. The book is well presented and it's very easy to look up the individual crystals and their properties. A hardcover copy would prove to be an valuable resource as the pdf format does not do justice to the illustrations.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

NetGalley ARC App review

Every basic and standard crystals and self care book. Nothing too fancy about it. For a well “known author” and had written previous book, I expected more. I’ve read 10 of these book this year alone and everyone the same.
Author also lack origin information or full expansion knowledge of energy work that might be useful, this is more ‘ new age witch’ not anything else more than that.

[Natasha · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Self- Love Crystals by Katie Huang is a great start in one's crystal journey. I especially loved that crystal care and cleansing were included in the book and although I felt that certain crystals were lacking in information I still enjoyed reading and learning new things about crystals as well as their corresponding Chakras and useful affirmations. This book did contain a few spells but none that would cause harm. I loved the cute artwork in this book and it's an overall good read.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

This book is delightful. Initially I picked this up because I don't see a while lot of witch-y, crystal-y books written by Chinese people, so I wanted to give it a shot. I love the descriptions and the illustrations. This feels like a very useful reference book for people who are just getting into crystalology, magic, or research for books.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to crystals, chakras, and their associated rituals and affirmations. The layout is informative yet brief, and the emphasis on light magic and self-love sets it apart from other crystal books. Beautiful illustrations enhance the reader's understanding and visualization of the crystals. Fantastic book to use as a reference guide

[Daina]

A great book for those interested in learning all about crystals and their properties. The book is well laid out and it's very easy to look up the individual crystal. I loved the illustrations as well. Cute section at the end with rituals and magick! The encyclopedia with brief description of every crystal is very handy for a quick check. I'd love to read other books by this author as well.

[Abby Ham · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is visually stunning with precise attention to detail. The art system is dreamy as is the color pallets selected. The novel describes the crystals and their uses in easy to understand language. Cleansing methods are also discussed along with other important information for new collectors of crystals. Overall, it was a joy to view and read.

[Mia Tiffany · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a pretty illustrated book with helpful tips and hints about crystals.

It tells you in simple terms what each crystal is for and how to use them. The rituals are easy and simple enough to follow and do, without the elaborate other items that some of these books say to have.

All in all a cute pretty book. Very helpful and easy to understand.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

This is such a perfect start for someone who is just beginning their journey. Although I think it’s also fantastic for those further along, even. I loved the layout and helpful reminders throughout for which crystals could go in water, etc. I think the cover is beautiful as well. This is a super helpful addition to your bookshelf!

Thank you NetGalley!

[Natosha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you for this ARC!

Thank you NetGalley for a free copy in return for a personal review.

As someone who has been working with crystals for many years, there were still some points of interest in this book. It would be a useful starting point for someone new to working with crystals. Pretty illustrations too.

[Lani Baker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not only is this book beautiful, it’s full of wonderful spells and rituals for connecting with yourself and loving yourself. I love how easy this was to read and I’ll definitely be incorporating this book into my everyday life. Self love journeys are hard but this book makes it seem soo simple.

Self-Love Crystals is a guide to spells and rituals using crystals and how to best set intentions using crystals. It was a lovely, detailed and illustrated guide.

[Mags (mbooksbycandlelight) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the perfect little book. First of all, I loved the design and the layout of this book. The cover is beautiful, the color choices are on pointe. It has the witch aesthetic down pat. Second of all, I feel like this book is very relevant, because more and more people are beginning to listen to their bodies and their need for self-care, and as such they will be more inclined to pick up this book and also learn about crystals. I enjoyed how the information was laid out, in concise, easy to assimilate chunks, and I particularly liked that there was plenty of space in the pages to add your own notes. The only thing I would change was the lack of real-life pictures of all the crystals, because I think that’s something that often confuses beginners and so it would have been a very useful tool for this book. Still, paired with a good crystal encyclopedia type of resource, this would be a lovely addition to anyone’s esoteric shelf.
