Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group - Wellfleet Press, for the advance reading copy.

The description parts nailed it. I love how concise yet how completely the information is about each crystal described.
However, I am a bit disappointed with the choice of colours used and the hazy pictures/illustrations.

Go for this book if you need some good information and their practical uses on crystals.

First of all this book is beautiful. The font and the pictures make this one aesthetically pleasing as well as informative.

I was gifted some crystals and was told what energies they had, but beyond looking at them and holding them I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing. How do I make these energies benefit me? How do I meditate with them? What is cleansing?

I had a lot of questions and this book clarified everything I was wondering as a novice. I loved the breakdown of what each crystal did and guides to meditating and how to set intentions. There is a section about color and how that also has energy - something I wasn't really aware of but it made so much sense as I was reading and understanding. There is also an index in the back of the book which was a pleasant surprise and very helpful.

An overall excellent resource on a wide range of crystals and their uses. I resonated with the wording for a lot of the spells, and the meditations were also very helpful! Definitely worth a read if you are looking for a good primer on how to use crystals in your daily life. Some good tips for the busy, modern witch too with quick 30-second spells.

Another beautiful title by Aurora Kane and by this point I think I'll need to buy shares in their work because it's all been fabulous.
This title is your perfect little novice guide to crystals and how to work with them in your craft or take references from this book for simple rituals, rites, potions, meditations, spells etc

A great guide with a beautiful simple layout like of of the works from this author that follow a beautiful theming making it a book you will not only pick up constantly but have displayed on your altar.
With a great beginner information layout easy to follow and very user friendly you cannot go wrong with this one.
You have great information on tuning into crystals with spellwork, crystal grids and how to utilise them, you have manifestation framework, chakras and sacred geometry , learning colour energy and crystal energies how to cleanse and with what element and how.
A great little resource for anyone new to working with crystals or to expand upon them in your current craft.
Thanks again to the publishing house for review.

Crystal Magic is a perfect book for those who have an interest in crystals and how they can benefit your life. I have read a few books now on crystals, reiki and also completed a course in reiki. So my interest in crystals and how they can aid my life and also friends/family has magnified. This book is fairly concise in that it is good for the novice/beginner but also for someone who wants a reference book they can come back to.

With details on each crystal and their uses, this book will serve many who are interested in the subject. I personally think this would make a nice gift too (With the Christmas season soon upon us) if you bought some crystals to go with it for a friend/loved one.

I really enjoyed reading this book and adding to my knowledge. Although it covered much that I already knew, it helped refresh my memory on some of the crystal meanings and power grids. A solid 4 stars.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Wellfleet Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

First let me start by saying I love the color scheme of this book. It complements the artwork and the energy of the book well. A simple but clear introduction of crystals and their many many uses. It even goes so far as to different ways you can set up and cleanse your crystals. The information for each crystal is clear and easy to understand. I only wish (although the artwork is beautiful) that there were actual photos of the crystals along with the art to help better identify what the crystals can look like in their varieties. The spells are all fairly simple and uplifting, focusing predominantly on self love and self care which everyone always needs more of. This book also covers different uses of crystals other then spell work, even by simply by raising the vibrations of the house. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be using it for future references again!

Another great read by Aurora Kane. 1/3 of the book is dedicated to discussing how you might work with crystals. Another third takes a closer look at a selection of crystals. And the last third has some meditations, rituals, & spells. Definitely found some to add to my practice. None of that new age "crystals are medicine" bs. I did find it a little odd tho, that tanzanite was mentioned a few times in the first part of the book but wasn't a crystal highlighted in the second part. Also for some reason peacock ore is the only crystal illustrated in an abstract way (by a peacock feather).

This is so much more than just your average crystal A-Z directory.
At first, I wondered if it was going to mention specific crystals at all. The first few sections are about how you can use crystals (generally) with the moon, in grids etc. It didn't name any crystals specifically. However, it did go into more specific detail the more the book went on.

As usual with Aurora Kane's books, theres a ton of information in here, but it's never overwhelming. The illustrations are beautiful too!

[Krystina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've really enjoyed reading this book, the illustrations are really pretty and the page colour is nice to read from (often I find people pick jarring colours that can give you a headache to read on but this is a lovely soft purple).
It goes through using crystals from the basics (cleansing and setting intentions), to how to use them in spellwork, scrying, moon magic, and much more. Everything is set out clearly and is easy to follow. Definalty on my recommendations list!

[JadersCorner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a great book for beginners, or anyone who would like a good reference book for their students (Crystal healers) I would recommend this to my clients when the first come to me to start the healing journey.
The layout, was well thought out, and beautifully orchestrated. The author touched on so many aspects, giving a small well rounded foundation to said accepts of crystals.

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The knowledge the author has was quite informative. I learned much from this book. And I must add that this book was most aesthetically pleasing. I give this book my thumbs up. A must-read!

[Alexis · Rating 5 out of 5]

So when I found this book I thought it would be useful and I was right. I used this book for research for my witch character and it made sense to me. I found this book helped need out alot had alot of good information inside the book..5 star book.. highly recommend it

[Alexandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good for further reading to expand on what to do with your crystal journey. It is a small book in a collection of other magic/spell books. Quick type of book that could be a jump off point for research or working with crystals.

[Lisa Thomson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A pretty little handbook to introduce us to crystals and their healing properties. It's quite basic but certainly laid out in a way it's easy to reference for crystal care and practice. I highly recommend.

[Mellissa Bushby · Rating 3 out of 5]

Perfect for the beginner, Crystal Magic is an informative and practical book about the use of crystals in everyday life. Beautiful illustrations and whimsical feel make this an ideal gift for a crystal lover or novice.

[Malissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love love love! very easy to read and follow.
Again the illustration on the cover are beautifully done, giving that soothing warm vibe.
Shout out to NetGalley and Aurora Kane for my ARC!

[Joni Owens · Rating 4 out of 5]

A plethora of information on correctly using your crystal. I had no idea about the uses of a lot of these crystals. A very pretty book too.
