Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Lately it has been an unusually scrappy time. I know that there is a place for a staunch defense but usually are civil and can avoid quibbling. I'm calling a halt to our most contentious thread. Anyone who wishes to donate stones to the person requesting has sent messages to him off list and the individual can respond and accept or not off list. I do ask that whatever the thread people do include enough information in questions and responses that we do not have to spend extensive time trying to figure out what is being asked. This has been part of the problem with the aforementioned thread. I think we have addressed stones for grief and consolation several times in the past and those posts would be in the archives. we can re approach that subject if you wish. I know that Mercury is now retrograde and I think there are several other interesting signs pointing to vigorous and somewhat disconcerting energies and influences abounding. Perhaps some of those who are more conversant with astrology can point us to articles that will help us deal with and understand evolving currents. Judy Halls' " Crystal Bible " is one of the most recommended and can come in handy as a quick reference for a limited number of stones and purposes. It is introductory and is mostly an assemblage of traditional stone purposes from many other sources mostly uncredited and does not really dip into that vast glory of new information coming to us from the stones. I know thats a bit like damning with faint praise, to me its O.K. but it does not soar with the Eagles or swim with the penguins. My current favorite book on stone is Teresa Kennedy's' " Gems of Wisdom, Gems of Power " . Dawn Silvers ' " Jewels of the Lotus: Tibetan Gemstone Oracle " is also a unique and valuable resource though alas it seems to be out of print and in much demand, as Prices on Amazon range from 78 to 125 dollars. Dawn is a member here and frequently shares her wisdom here to our good fortune.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thank you for the plug Peggy.....alas my book is now officially out of print but I am working on getting a new publisher...my original publisher went out of business.....what a process but am hopeful. It is freaky to see it being sold for so much and of course I do not make a penny on those sales. I have even seen it go for $600 something. Not in my budget. I am working on two other books involving crystal healing but I am such an intense Virgo it will be a bit yet. Certainly you have so much crystal wisdom you might be able to put out a book in your sleep......any support I can offer I am glad to...I was in the book biz for 19 years so I know a few things that may prove helpful.
