Nicholas Pearson helps to remedy this with \u003ci\u003eThe Witching Stones\u003c\/i\u003e, examining crystals, gems, and humble stones with the most ancient and powerful connections to magic. These magical stones number fourteen in all: flint, hagstone, ammonite, fossil urchin, salt, lodestone, lead, toadstone, amber, jet, cross-stone, quartz, moonstone, and emerald. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Pearson explores the historical usage of these stones, as well as why they are associated with witchcraft, but also offers practical and accessible uses for the modern practitioner in the form of spells and rituals. He describes more than fifty spells, rituals, and recipes, from the basics of cleansing and consecrating your stones, to more advanced techniques like crafting lead curse tablets, blending incense and oils, and working lunar magic with moonstones. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Inspired by \u003ci\u003eThe Witching Herbs\u003c\/i\u003e--Harold Roth's in-depth examination of thirteen plants powerfully associated with witchcraft--\u003ci\u003eThe Witching Stones\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the geology, history, and practical use of crystals and stones in magic. This book is an excellent how-to guide to the magical use of stones and crystals, suitable for beginners who don't know what to \"do\" with crystals, as well as for the experienced crystal lover who seeks to take their practice to the next level. While many spell books feature the use of crystals within them, this is the first book to dive deep into the topic, exploring the mineral kingdom in the context of alchemy, talismanic magic, and Luciferian witchcraft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 157863833X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781578638338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Weiser Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Nicholas Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881092894975,"sku":"9781578638338","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_621218bc-bd97-4fdd-9284-0d9419106538.jpg?v=1747970650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-witching-stones-nicholas-pearson-9781578638338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
