Anyone who has been reading The Magical Buffet for any significant amount of time knows that when it comes to crystals, there is no author I look to more than Nicholas Pearson. This is why I was surprised to see that his latest book dealing with crystals was co-authored by Devin Hunter. I mean, what\u2019s with that? When it comes to crystals, Pearson doesn\u2019t need a wingman, a side kick, or a plus one. And don\u2019t get it twisted, I love me some Devin Hunter, but isn\u2019t he a little too busy running his impressive witchcraft empire to dive into the exclusively (to my mind) crystal waters of Pearson? I had feelings and questions and I demanded answers!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And these two authors knew it, and that\u2019s why the introduction to their book \u201cCrystal Divination: The Multifaceted Art of Reading Stones\u201d lays it all out for me. Now I\u2019m going to share it with you, because you\u2019re curious, right? It turns out that both Pearson and Hunter attended The International Divination Event in Dallas, Texas in 2023. After meeting and comparing notes on their talks about crystal use in divination they decided they should write a book together. What followed were several years of teaching individual classes on crystals and crystal divination and then combined workshops on the subject matter. What all that work resulted in was their book \u201cCrystal Divination: The Multifaceted Art of Reading Stones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCrystal Divination\u201d starts out with \u201cBuilding the Foundation.\u201d Here you\u2019ll learn some crystal and divination basics. It also outlines an intensive 90-day challenge which helps you establish a routine and familiarize yourself with your crystals and your practice. From here you\u2019ll find discussions about scrying and crystallomancy, pendulums and dowsing, drawing lots, casting stones and there are several spreads for doing crystal readings. Aside from the 90-day challenge there are many other exercises and journal prompts. There is also an appendix of divinatory meanings for 200 different crystals! Also, let me not forget to mention that the whole book is in a trade paperback format, with glossy pages, full color throughout, and LOADED with photos of crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can tell from my introduction, I had mixed feelings about Nicholas Pearson partnering up with another author to write about crystals. I don\u2019t know the exact details of the labor between Devin Hunter and Pearson for the creation of \u201cCrystal Divination,\u201d but whatever they did worked. I can easily say that \u201cCrystal Divination\u201d is one of my favorite books about crystals. Definitely a new classic for both lovers of crystal and\/or divination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
