If you’re like me, you have a large collection of crystals that primarily sit around looking pretty. And sure, you use them on occasion, but what if there were more ways to use them more often? Fortunately, Amber K’s new book “Stone Witchery & Divination: Lithomancy and Magick with Rocks, Gems, and Crystals” answer that question.
Fun fact, one of the first books I purchased about magic was written by Amber K, which is why I was thrilled to have an opportunity to read her latest book. The emphasis on crystals is icing on the cake.
A significant portion of “Stone Witchery & Divination” is focused on the many ways you can use minerals, rocks, and gems for divination. Honestly, I hadn’t realized how many ways you could use stones for divination! There’s obviously casting them, but there is a huge variety of ways to do that. The author discusses lithomancy (the ancient practice of using stones for divination) in an astrological framework. There is also using the Wheel of the Year, a Pentagram, and more. The book even includes Doreen Valiente’s system. She also discusses casting using things other than, or along with crystals. And there’s pendulums, and scrying, and seriously, just a dizzying number of options!
For as much attention as divination receives in “Stone Witchery & Divination”, Amber K does devote just as much time to how to use crystals in your magical practice. This part discusses every type of magical work and the stones you can use to amplify it. She explores meditation, chakra work, talismans and amulets, attraction, healing, medicine wheels, grounding, and much more! You’ll find a full color section highlighting over 90 stones, along with appendices that cover traditional gemstone identification and correspondences, a list of stones in alphabetical order by attribute, unusual stones, color correspondences, symbols for talismans, special stones from folklore, and birthstones.
If you’re looking to get more from your crystal collection, I highly recommend “Stone Witchery & Divination” by Amber K.
