Pagan Books - Review - The Crystal Bible.





I bought this book The Crystal Bible: A Definitive Guide to Crystals last year and have found it invaluable it’s by Judy Hall an internationally known author astrologer psychic and healer. Published by Godsfield it is one of a series of mind body and spirit books also including “The Yoga Bible” and "The Dream Bible” among other titles.

If you are looking for information about crystals over 200 crystals and stones are listed, with beautiful clear colour photo’s of every one making it easy to identify any crystals you may have you can’t identify and there is also lot’s of information about each crystal.

It tells you how to cleanse and store your crystals as well as how to use them for meditation and for healing. At the back it has a glossary and index of ailments so you can find the right crystal for your needs easily. There is also a useful quick reference section telling you about crystals correspondences to the zodiac, chakra’s and aura’s plus how to make gem remedies. Lot's of useful information like that for Pagan and Wicca purposes too.

It is definitely the best guide to crystals and healing with crystals I’ve ever bought and probably the only one I’ll ever need I highly recommend it. Some of the photo’s are breath taking and I refer to it time and time again when choosing crystals for specific purposes definitely a very useful addition to anyone's library.

Pagan Books - Review - Goddesses And Angels- By Doreen Virtue.

Doreen Virtue has a PH.D. in counseling Psychology, is fourth generation meta physician and works with the Angelic elemental and ascended masters in her writings, and she also does workshops on angel therapy. Doreen Virtue has famously designed many angel cards and also does Angel readings.

She has written over 20 books as well as Goddesses And Angels: Awakening Your Inner High-priestess and Source-eress on many subjects including Rainbow children, Chakras and Angels. She also designed the angel cards that are becoming increasingly popular, Her website angeltherapy.com is here.

The first and main part of the book is about the authors spiritual journey and how different Goddesses and Angels helped her along the way. She travels to some pretty interesting and sometimes exotic places too including Sedona, Hawaii, the Polynesian Island of Moorea, and Lourdes, she even visits a goddess temple in Glastonbury England (the town not the festival). She also discusses her discoveries about the new rainbow children (children with strong psychic powers often misdiagnosed with ADHD, or ADD to American readers), The Merpeople and Lemuria.

The second (and much smaller) section is about the Goddesses and Angels themselves, It's like a Goddess/Angel guidebook if you will, and what situations you should call on them to help you with, this part is easy to use and understand. The Goddesses and Angels particular powers are all listed in one part as a chart, and then all the Goddesses are listed in a another section with a small write up about them. She only talks about the major Goddesses, but a book about all of them would be massive so I can understand why. It's a nice book about angels and goddesses to have if you don't require much detail just a short description.

I found this book very useful and got a lot from reading it personally, I found many parts of Doreen's spiritual journey quite moving to read about and would recommend this book to Witches and pagans and also anyone who wants to find out more about The Goddesses and Angels and how to call upon them for assistance.

Pagan Books - Review- Cunningham's encyclopedia Of Magical Herbs.




If you are looking for a guide to herbs for healing and the properties of herbs in general look no further than Encyclopaedia of Magical Herbs (Llewellyn's Sourcebook Series). The Book is one of the Cunningham book series and clearly laid out and easy to use, with many different herbs and flowers covered. Many common ones and a few herbs I'd never heard of and even objects I'd never have thought of as magical items, like carrots and potatoes are mentioned. It Gives you the name of the herb with a line drawing of it it's folk names gender planet element and powers, as well as it's magical uses great for wiccans and Pagans.

I'd recommend the book to anyone with an interest in herbs whether it be magical or not as it gives some fascinating information about the plants and their folk history. If your interest in them is magical then it's also very good as a reference book and has chapter on the powers of herbs and how to perform magic with them which is easy to understand, it explains how to charge herbs before using them in spells amongst other things.

I use this herb book quite regularly in my work and think it would give a valuable contribution to any pagan library.
