Looking for a book about spirituality that truly understands what it’s like to attempt a practice while juggling reality? Tah-dah!

What at first appeared to be a specific book about the Native American sacred pipe opened up a whole world of mythology, history, and religion.

We are up to our armpits in gems and stones people! We’ve got two books in one with Isidore Kozminsky’s “Crystals, Jewels, Stones: Magic & Science” and Stuart Weinberg’s “Crystals and the New Age” together and we’ll be comparing it to Claude Lecouteux’s “Lapidary of Sacred Stones” from the last post.

Do you know what a Smaragdus is? Or a Lapidary for that matter? Click on in for gems and stones Claude Lecouteux style.

A week of jewels, crystals, and stones? Too good to be true? Nothing is too good for my readers.

Thanks to Marc Allen and New World Library I get my grubby little hands on some Israel Regardie!

Today we’ll be looking at “Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Correspondences: A Comprehensive & Cross Referenced Resource for Pagans & Wiccans” by Sandra Kynes. Whew! Try saying THAT three times fast!

Artist Orna Ben-Shoshan, creator of “Tokens of Light”, is back with a new beautiful divinatory set called “The AlphaBet for Lovers”.

I got an interesting offer from Quest Books. Would I like to review “Soul of Light: Works of Illumination” by Joma Sipe. What makes this interesting is that essentially this is an art book. I like art, of course, but I couldn’t help but wonder, why on earth would Quest books think that The Magical Buffet or its readers would care about this particular art book? I shouldn’t have doubted them.

This is about a woman who has a very successful blog and with some hard work and a publisher that believed in her had her first book published. And that woman isn’t me. I’m talking about Kris Bradley who created the blog Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom, who with Weiser Books published her first book “Mrs. B’s Guide to Household Witchery: Everyday Magic, Spells, and Recipes”. Obviously I despise this woman.

Of course that isn’t true.
