This goes hand in hand with the rest of my crystals & gems sub-library. Here are presented practical rituals for practical situations. You can use crystals as a sort of tarot, which I have practiced with & found it much simpler than a regular tarot, & have worked with quite a few of these spells.

Did not finish because of incorrect information (Hecate was never originally referred to as the Crown and has nothing to do with the three-goddess (not sure how wiccans call it). There was some cultural appropriation (non-natives can't smudge) and no warnings that certain gems can desolve when put in water in the cleansing segment. Very disappointing.

Interesting but halfway through too much hocus pocus

I bought this book looking for a guide on crystals. I got a little bit more and some less than I had hoped for. Some good general info and great charts for crystals correspondng to days, seasons and such, but the other sections on spells and potions was not what I was looking for.
