This book was a thrift find given to me by a friend. Definitely a take what you will and leave the rest type of book. As someone who is into a bit of the woo and loves crystals and learning more about their energy and power I understand that I’m going to run into some really funny shit reading spiritual books. This one was written in the 80s and mentioned the city of “Atlantis” multiple times, which made me lol. However, I did get a lot of useful information from the book too that I want to go back and take notes on for my own use.
I tried to keep in mind that this book is 'of its time', but some of the ideas shared were a bit 'out there' (at least for me). I love crystals, but maybe I'm not as passionate about them as others.
On a positive note, there were a lot of helpful and practical ideas for using crystals in every day life and I really liked some of the suggestions. I mostly bought this book because I loved the vintage cover and crystals are definitely part of my everyday life.
Overall, this book was informative and interesting, but it also made me giggle and say 'huh?' to myself (and possibly to the author). Glad to have this uncommon crystal book in my collection.
Voor zo'n oud boek te zijn staat er heel veel nuttige informatie in. Zeker een aanrader voor mensen die praktisch aan de slag willen met hun stenencollectie.
