A definitive guide to the crystals, gems, and humble stones possessing the most ancient and powerful connections to magic and witchcraft.
In The Witching Stones, author Nicholas 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 for today’s modern practitioner, 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.
Containing over fifty 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 who don’t know what to do with crystals 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.
