This is truly a stunning one of a kind book. Everything from the graphics to the carefully chosen words, to the actual content, was truly stunning. A very simple guide to rituals and blessings that can be done broken down by month.

There was nothing complex about this book or how to go about performing these rituals which I appreciated. in this crazy life, sometimes that gets a little overwhelming. I needed this gentle reminder of how to find that balance again.

The author is very in tune with creating a ritual that will be beneficial for all walks of life ranging from seasoned professionals to someone new that wants to discover more. I highly recommend this book.

I will be purchasing it in Paperback when it comes out.… (lisätietoja)

Crystal Lore, Legends & Myth by Athena Perrakis explores crystal lore from around the world. The leanings are definitely magickal, and the very first chapter discusses Lemuria and Atlantis. The rest of the chapters progress through major human civilisations/ time eras from Sumerians to modern times. The final chapters explore things like quantum healing, zodiacal associations, and using crystals to access Earth wisdom. Each chapter has background, a chart of relevant gems, and a deeper look at each gem in the chart. There are also gorgeous pictures of the crystals.

Even given my own pagan/ magickal outlook, I had trouble with the first chapter. Plato's Atlantis was a story, not a reality. There is absolutely no archaeological evidence to support the existence of either Lemuria or Atlantis. Nor do I hold much truck with the notion of ancient aliens that sparked human civilisation. No, son. There's an equal lack of archaeological evidence to support that ridiculous idea.

Frisson with Chapter 1 aside, I enjoyed learning about the gemstones. Many I was already familiar with, but several were new to me. I found some new ones to work with myself, including atlantisite, for its healing properties. I was sold at 'helps with chronic/ persistent health problems'.

There are lots of neat facts scattered throughout too. I had no idea that Emperor Tiberius enjoyed gardening, for one. It covers the stones in the Breastplate of Aaron, the most in-depth I've read about before. That was quite interesting.

Chakra healing is a tradition that's thousands of years old. The exercises in this book shall help you to unblock the energy flow through your chakras, by addressing each chakra on its own and all of them in combination. Each chakra's corresponding goddesses, tarot cards, gem stones, etc. are listed and explained, and there are recipes for corresponding esssential oils, as well as, mantras to chant.

The information in this book is especially suited for a beginner at chakra healing.

The embodiment exercises are easy to follow, yet I would find them more helpful if they were audio guided.… (lisätietoja)
