What a wonderful book with so much detail packed in about this fascinating form of divination. The author takes you through the whole process of creating your own set of lithomancy stones, how to pick them, work with them and keep them magical. There are lots of suggestions for different sets along with ideas and guidelines to help you get the best from reading with them. Highly recommended. ~ Rachel Patterson, Author of the Kitchen Witchcraft series, Witchcraft into the Wilds and several Pagan Portals books.
Jessica’s book is a completely accessible introduction to lithomancy, making the subject both intriguing yet simple to learn. Notes on the history of lithomancy enrich the text, and the way she encourages and empowers readers to trust their own intuition is inspiring. Methods for connecting with the stones, cleansing them, and making this practice your own run throughout the book, creating an ideal volume for anyone interested in divination, regardless of their own personal path. I look forward to gathering my own set of stones, and exploring this mysterious yet effective divination technique. ~ Mabh Savage, author of A Modern Celt and Practically Pagan: An Alternative Guide to Planet Friendly Living
This is the perfect book for anyone who is looking to find a way into divining in general and Lithomancy in particular. Aimed at beginners it is a thorough guide to the art of divining with stones of all kinds. Howard carefully avoids being prescriptive allowing the reader to explore and find their own way of developing a practice. It would also be eminently suitable for anyone who already divines but whom is interested in expanding their range and learning how to work closely with stones. A great addition to the resources available for those learning to divine. ~ Yvonne Ryves, Author of Shaman Pathways Web of Life, Retired Shamanic Healer, Reiki Master and Past Life Therapist
