Yikes!
| Customer Rating: | | Was I ever disappointed by this! When I saw the word "encyclopedia" I assumed that's what it was, and that it was going to be a good one. But the information within is terribly scarce. The author seems to have picked only his favorites to include, when really all stones and metals should (In my opinion, even if they're not expensive or popular) be covered at least in passing, and left out a variety of information about the materials themselves and instead talked about just the more common magical uses and folklore. Anyone looking for information on stones, crystals, and the like can get better than this. |
Review of Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic
| Customer Rating: | | Very informative for beginers. The book gives lots of details on common crystals and gems and how they relate to magick; well written. |
Incomplete but with some uses
| Customer Rating: | | Not the best book by Cunningham I've ever read. While it gives some interesting ideas the encyclopedia is incomplete. It might be useful as a stepping stone but not as a definitive source of information (but isn't that why you want an encyclopedia). The most important thing to remember (that occured to me after buying this book and disagreeing with most of his associations with the stones) is that no one can tell you how an herb or stone or whatever is going to aid you. You have to work with them and discover for yourself. This book could encourage cookie cutter magic and spiritual laziness. I do enjoy the book for the thorough research he has done on the the folklore of the stones and as a starting point for making my own. Cunningham is a good author, he just can't deliver in this instance. |

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic
| Customer Rating: | | I was pretty disappointed with this book. While there is some information in it, I found it to be lacking. There are SO many stones with SO many uses. I had hoped that more would have been covered. Also the book had few pictures. I would not recommend this book. |
