A full-color guide to protection, cleansing, and countermagick with crystals
• Presents magickal techniques with crystals for warding off harmful energies, binding, and curse breaking, including crystal grids, amulets, spells, and rituals

In this full-color guide, crystal healing teacher Nicholas Pearson shows how crystals are ideally suited for confronting negative energies and providing enduring protection as he demonstrates how to partner with the mineral kingdom for protection, cleansing, and countermagick.
In the realm of protection, Pearson explores passive approaches—such as psychic shields, jewelry, and carrying gemstones—as well as more active practices—such as spells, meditations, and rituals. He shares magickal techniques for warding your home, vehicle, and work space and for counteracting geopathic stress, EMF pollution, and ill-wishing from those around you. To combat and neutralize psychic attack, he examines the necessary yet challenging territory of binding, banishing, reversal, curse-breaking, and exorcism, sharing crystal spells, grid layouts, and rituals for spirit release. He also looks at special techniques aimed at strengthening the boundaries of empaths and highly sensitive people.
The author’s in-depth directory of 145 of crystals and gemstones describes the uses of the most powerful and effective traditional gems and stones as well as more recent additions to the healer’s tool kit, teaching you everything you need to know to protect yourself and recover from psychic and magickal attacks.
