Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 > Could you post a list of books relating to this course Lots of the material here will be from my own material and notes & studies and workshops I've taken and from books and pamphlets that are not in wide distribution. I am using the book " Crystal Healing using the power of health and harmony " by Simon Lilly as a sort of course outline It is not a really great book but has a page or two on most of the major areas involved with crystal work so I'm using it as a checklist so I won't leave out a major area other books that will be probably referred to include " Color and Crystals a journey through the chakras " by Joy Gardener which is a good small book for beginners " Love is in the Earth, a Kaleidoscope of Crystals " by Melody and the pictorial supplements and other books by Melody " Love is in the Earth " is huge and virtually an Encyclopedia of crystal properties perhaps to the extent of being a bit over whelming after about 500 pages it seems like every stone is good for everything Three books by Katrina Raphael " Crystalline transmission " , " Crystal enlightenment " and " Crystal Healing " May be rather New Agey but has some good stuff has some stuff that is completely different than my experience too " Healing with Gemstones and Crystals " Diane Stein Scott Cunninghams " Crystal Gem and Metal Magic " Una Silbeys " The complete crystal Guidebook " And Sela Randazzo's " I am Rock medicine " which has a pretty different outlook and a system that is based on the chemical content of specific stones . and " Gemstones of the World " by Walter Schuman which has photographs and information about the technical stuff like where the stones come from and hardness etc. I expect to pick up copies soon of some books I've read but don't own currently . Another book that is interesting is called " The Sacred Stones " don't recall the author but it is written by someone who thinks the whole concept of crystal healing and energy is the stupidest idea ever and it is intended to thoroughly disprove and denounce everything about crystal work . She covers just about everything each stone has ever been thought to effect so its a pretty good reference if you can ignore the stridently hostile preaching There are also a large number of books that are on related subjects or have sections about stones that I may refer too I have a fairly large assortment of books (actually when we moved we had 6000 pounds of books ) so I don't think anyone need try to catch up. part of what I'll be doing here is extracting some of the " gems " from varied sources and sharing them with you. If you have any books or web sites that you would recommend or that you would warn against please share them on the list and you can post links on the web links section of our list pages . I prefer that these not be primarily commercial sites . About.com has a lot of links on crystal healing .
