 Crystal Knowledge October 22, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is the 1st in a series of 3 crystal books by Katrina. They are well written, easy to understand, and provide very useful information. The other 2 books are Volume II "Crystal Healing" (1987), and Volume III "The Crystalline Transmission" (1990). If you are really interested in stones and crystals and their possible relationship to healing (yourself or others), knowledge and so much more, I suggest this series of all 3 books by Katrina. You probably want to read these volumes in order unless you already know some of this energy and crystal stuff. (Many people who are into crystal knowledge will tell you that crystals are used in healing to direct the flow of energy and/or to store and pass on knowledge. Many people feel the energy in crystals, and have received a variety of experiences with their use. I know this may be difficult for some of you to believe, but open your mind to the possibility and believe as a child, at least long enough to explore the possibility.)
Katrina explains what crystals are, physically and esoterically and how they are formed and mined. She then goes into how to use them, meditations, cleaning and recharging the, and healing layouts. She talks about several kinds of crystals, such as the Record-Keeper (which I was pleased to find one in Alberta Canada) and other crystals such as amethyst, citrine, smoky quartz, etc. as well as other healing stones: bloodstone, malachite, lapis, etc. Of course, I've heard it said that a Record Keeper finds YOU.
The final chapter includes several charts:
Astrological Trinities Chart (associated astrological signs with planetary influences through related stones--example: Heart Chakra, sign-Cancer, stones-moonstone, opal, purpose-balance or intention of emotions, etc).
Table of Remaining Healing Stones
(example: WULFENITE-orange-energizes and purifies physical body)
Table of Color Chakra Stones
(example: 1st charka, "Muladhara", physical areas of anus, rectum, colon, adrenal gland, color black or red, stones-bloodstone, etc, energy-ground spirit forces in body. Gain ability to work lovingly on the physical plane.)

This book is a nice addition to my library, but I also like Melody's "Love Is In The Earth". It provides a lot more information on each of a lot more stones, not just crystals. Still, Katrina Raphaell does give a lot more information on crystals. I was exceptionally pleased with her explanation of the Record Keeper crystal. She also explains good healing techniques in using stones, such as how to use rose quartz on the heart charka, and other healing techniques with other stones. As I said, her books are a welcome addition to my library. If you're really interested in stones and their metaphysical uses and qualities, I would suggest buying both Raphaell's series of 3 books and Melody's "Love Is In The Earth".
This book has been around, and is still better than most! May 2, 2006

Use this one as a good basis for learning how to commune with manyh different crystals. Katrina introduces many stones of value to the practitioner, though she has yet to create a comprehensive list all in one volume.
This book also introduces the art of laying-on-of-stones. Although this is one that requires a little more patience and practice, it can be a very useful tool with which to become acquainted.
I highly reccomend this volume to all students of crystal healing, but for those more interested in more advanced practices, feel free to move on to the other books.
 Not the Book for Me July 4, 2003
66 out of 71 found this review helpful
I have been interested in alternative healing techniques for almost thirty years, and in the past three years I've come to focus increasingly on the human energy field and its role in healing, which has led me to investigate chakras, kundalini, and reiki. I'm therefore not a diehard sceptic, and I certainly don't believe that the only reality is the one that Western science thinks it has uncovered. However, I need a cogent basis for what I believe, and as I'm new to crystal healing, I was hoping that this book would provide one. Unfortunately, it doesn't. To be sure, it does contain clear and understandable information about what the author asserts are healing properties of crystals, but it mixes this information with allegations that crystals sometimes materialise out of thin air to those who need them (page 65), and claimes that there are higher life forms working in laboratories deep within the earth to create crystals that they then place in mines in South America just so we can discover them (page 120). the book provides no basis for supposing that crystals can and do heal other than that the author says they do. I'm afraid that, for me, this is not convincing, and I finished the book feeling very dissatisfied,especially as I have bought the other two books in the triology (Crystal Healing, and Crystalline Transformations).
An Enjoyable Read June 10, 2003

This is one of the first books I have read about Crystal healings and I hope they all aren't like this. The information on about the healing properties of the crystals is acurate. I found a lot of her other information odd. Such as when she states that a type of crystal is made in secret labritories by higher beings and then placed inside mineral mines. Very interesting thought but not very believable. I don't know why our earth as beautiful as she is can't make her own powerful light sorces with out labritories full of higher beings to do that for her.
This book is woefuly inadequate June 3, 2002

This book goes in two directions.1. Channeled information about a sub set of stones. 2. The book is more about crystal healing, and has some VERY complex crystal layouts. This book only deals with 40-60 different stones, and you wll not find information about many of the popular stones; such as Chevron Amethyst, Ametrine, Angelite, Blue Quartz, Green Quartz, Labradorite, Moldavite, etc. Personaly I would recommend that you get a copy of "Love Is In The Earth...." by A. Melody. Contact me via E-Mail if you have questions or comments; Two Bears. Wah doh Ogedoda (We give thanks Great Spirit)
