I love this book so much! It has medical warnings, reminds you not all crystals should be put in water and salt. Has adorable art. The rituals are easy to understand and well written. I have been practicing for over 15 years and this was still useful.

5 stars

It has an engaging forward that sets the tone for the rest of the content in the book. This is a great resource for information, all in bite-sized, easily digestible sections. I thoroughly enjoyed the suggested rituals, especially because they actively encouraged a unique and personal touch. The artwork was very pretty as well. It is a fantastic starter for anyone interested in the benefits of crystals.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the free book in exchange for an honest review. I recently got into crystals this year and have been reading and learning all I can about them. I loved this book for someone who needs to spend more time taking care of myself. This book has so many helpful ideas for those who are unsure how to use crystals in their lives. This book was stunning from the gorgeous drawings to the layout - this book was a work of art and a labor of love. I was absolutely in love with all of this book. Overall this is a great book for beginners who are unsure where to start reading and learning about crystals.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

This book is delightful. Initially I picked this up because I don't see a while lot of witch-y, crystal-y books written by Chinese people, so I wanted to give it a shot. I love the descriptions and the illustrations. This feels like a very useful reference book for people who are just getting into crystalology, magic, or research for books.

I am magically and all things beautiful surrounded by the awe of the creatures within the universe of energy and crystals of life.

This book is absolutely beautiful! I found that this book was super informative about crystals, their properties, how to cleanse them, etc. It also covered chakaras and self-love rituals. I think this is the perfect guidebook for anyone interested in crystals.

Thank you for this ARC!

This was a really well thought out and informative introduction to crystal healing with some mention of other complementary practices like colour magic, chakras and moon magic. What I liked about this was that, above all, it introduced key elements of using crystals as tools (charging, cleansing, affinities) while stressing that they are just that- tools. The author was knowledgeable and keen that intention is the key to self love healing and other similar practices while also guiding the reader with various spells, rituals, sprays, potions and charms and giving them a broad array of crystal meanings, affinities and affirmations. The illustrations were eye catching and gorgeous and overall this is definitely a book I would recommend to beginners and experienced crystal lovers alike!

Thank you to Netgalley and Leaping Hare Press for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a lovely book which is a great crystal 101. The books beautiful illustrations make identifying crystals very easy as well as telling you their uses. It includes details on how to clean and cleanse crystals and includes affirmations and spells you can use in your daily life to promote self love. I am sure this would be a great reference guide for beginnings and people who have been practicing for years. I look forwards to using the book to help me on my journey of finding out more about crystals and there properties and how they can help me in my every day life. I will be buying a physical copy of this book it is so beautifully laid out and designed.

Self-Love Crystals is an fantastic guide for crystal enthusiasts, it offers a comprehensive exploration of crystals and their unique properties. It's incredibly reader-friendly, allowing readers to easily navigate and discover information about individual crystals. There is also useful inclusion of warnings regarding the interaction of certain crystals with water and salt! The stunning illustrations enhance the visual appeal and they make the learning experience even more engaging. My favourite features are the rituals and affirmations which are tailored to each crystal. Overall, Self-Love Crystals is a must-read for anyone keen on delving into the world of crystals, combining knowledge, practical advice, and aesthetic appeal in an enriching package. 5 stars from me!

I just read Self-Love Crystals by Katie Huang. #SelfLoveCrystals #NetGalley This is a great book that I will be keeping near by to reference. I really like how the author gave a affirmation and ritual forceach crystal described in this book. Thinking that I will also need to get a physical copy. Thank you.

This is a great book for anyone who’s either new to crystals, rituals and spell work, or for those looking for a quick refresher :) The material is easy to understand and everything is well described. I also love that the book includes precautionary notes, like the one that talks about the importance of double checking whether certain crystals are safe to put in water, for example. Overall I recommend this book!

Such a pretty illustrated book with helpful tips and hints about crystals.

It tells you in simple terms what each crystal is for and how to use them. The rituals are easy and simple enough to follow and do, without the elaborate other items that some of these books say to have.

All in all a cute pretty book. Very helpful and easy to understand.

As a practicing pagan I am always looking for new books that delve into magical and metaphysical properties of things. The self-help Crystals book is perfect for either the beginner or those who have been practicing a while. The main thing I loved beyond the useful rituals and guides and gorgeous illustrations was the tone of the book. It is not pushy, it does not ‘force’ views or beliefs on and you do not have to do everything it says.
Huang is perfect at describing the properties of crystals, offering help and advice. I also enjoy that the book is presented in a reader-friendly and beginner friendly tone. Sometimes, when starting out, it’s easy to get overwhelmed but you won’t with this book. I think my main thing though was how Huang was clear intention is one of the major points, of course crystals, charms and herbs etc an aid but if your intention is not set and true it won’t work as well.
