The Witching Stones: Essential Crystals, Stones & Minerals

Containing over 50 spells, rituals, and recipes, The Witching Stones focuses on the geology, history, and practical use of crystals and stones in magic, and is suitable for beginners, as well as experienced crystal lovers who want to take their practice to the next level. While many spell books feature the use of crystals, this is the first to take a deep dive into the topic, exploring the mineral kingdom in the context of alchemy, talismanic magic, and Luciferian witchcraft. Nicolas Pearson explores the historical usage of stones—including flint, hagstone, ammonite, fossil urchin, salt, lodestone, lead, toadstone, amber, jet, cross-stone, quartz, moonstone, and emerald—as well as why they are associated with witchcraft. He also offers practical and accessible uses, from the basics of cleansing and consecrating your stones to more advanced techniques such as crafting lead curse tablets, blending incense and oils, and working lunar magic with moonstones.
