\nby\nNicholas Pearson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\nAuthor,\nNicholas Pearson\u2019s book offers a jam-packed volume of wisdom about\ncrystal lore and usage through the lens of Goddess study and\ndevotion. Looking at the Notes (Bibliography) section at the back of\nthe book confirms the extensive research and credible resources used\nin compiling this book and providing relevant and cohesive\ninformation. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMr.\nPearson states in the Introduction…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\u201c\nThe inspiration beh<\/em>i<\/em>nd\nStones of the Goddess began with my desire to deepen my connection to\nthe tides of life, magick, and mystery that keep the cosmos in\norder.\u201d <\/em>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nI\nwould echo that by saying that this book will most definitely achieve\nthat and inform about the crystal kingdom as well. The interweaving\nof the sacred Feminine and the Sacred Earth domain are beautifully\nrepresented in a way that is both user friendly and clear in its\nintention. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nPart\nOne<\/strong> begins with the basics of\ncrystals, their use and the more commonly selected ones. Everything\nis covered from soup to nuts; cleansing, storing, selecting and\nattuning and programming to name a few. This serves as an excellent\nprimer for anyone who wishes to use crystals in a more specific way.\nThis section is filled with photos, which is a great way of use for\nidentification of crystals and building your own visual crystal\nencyclopedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nPart\nTwo, <\/strong>entitled Meeting\nthe Goddess<\/strong><\/em>, <\/strong>moves\ninto the stories and energies of the Goddess and application of\nGoddess energy. The myths and worship within a matriarchal society\nare brought to life and the resurgence of the Divine Feminine in all\nof Her forms completes the first stirrings of connection to what is\nancient and organic in nature. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nPart\nThree<\/strong>, Crystals\nfor the Divine Feminine<\/strong><\/em>, brings\nthe information of crystal use and the Herstory of the Goddess\ntogether seamlessly as a variety of stones are presented. From\nthe start, the Compendium of Crystals takes a look at crystals\nbringing multiple correspondences into play; magickal uses, the\nastrological signature, element, Goddess archetype and formation\nprocess. The description of each crystal is complete and diverse in\nits presentation. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nCompleting\nthe book, the Table of\nCorrespondences <\/strong>provides even more\ninfo for a quick selection list broken down into\nGoddess-Elemental-Planetary and Zodiacal.All of your favorites are there, as\nwell as some less common crystals that deserve a closer look. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMy\nonly negative note about this title is that it won\u2019t be released\nuntil February 19.2019. Have mine on pre-order and can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\nClick HERE or Book Cover for Amazon Info<\/a>\"\"\n\n\n\n
