I got this one through the library as it wouldn’t download on my kindle and I liked it a lot. I like to learn new things and do workbooks

This book is beautifully presented and provides lots of interesting information about crystals. It is a really useful guide.

Esthetically pleasing, highly informative book on crystals. I learned a lot from this book and will be looking over it often.

Excellent read , very helpful and something I will go back to. I’d highly recommend this to anyone interested in crystal healing.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to crystals, chakras, and their associated rituals and affirmations. The layout is informative yet brief, and the emphasis on light magic and self-love sets it apart from other crystal books. Beautiful illustrations enhance the reader's understanding and visualization of the crystals. Fantastic book to use as a reference guide

Diving into "Self-Love Crystals" by Katie Huang felt like embarking on a refreshing journey towards magical self-care. As someone who has recently ventured into the world of healing crystals, I found this book to be a welcoming guide, full of wisdom yet accessible enough for beginners like myself.

The presentation of this book is one of its standout features. Its pages are adorned with beautifully designed layouts and easy-to-understand descriptions, making the exploration of each crystal's properties an engaging experience. I particularly appreciated the practical tips on crystal cleansing methods, which are vital for anyone starting their crystal journey. The guidance on which crystals can be washed with water and which require alternative cleansing methods is invaluable, ensuring that these precious stones maintain their energy and integrity.

The inclusion of spells, rituals, and affirmations for each crystal discussed is a delightful touch, providing practical ways to incorporate these stones into daily self-care practices. The rituals are straightforward and imbued with intention, reinforcing the book's premise that crystals are powerful tools for fostering self-love and personal growth.

"Self-Love Crystals" beautifully balances aesthetic appeal with informative content. Its focus on self-love crystals, combined with easy-to-follow rituals and affirmations, makes it a valuable companion for anyone looking to enhance their self-care routine with the mystical power of crystals. Despite its brevity and my desire for more in-depth exploration, this book has earned its place on my shelf as a go-to reference for crystal healing, especially tailored towards nurturing self-love.

For those at the beginning of their crystal journey or seeking a refresher, Katie Huang's "Self-Love Crystals" offers a gentle introduction to the transformative power of crystals. It's a testament to the beauty of self-care, wrapped in the enchanting allure of crystal magic.

Self-Love Crystals contains a lot of information to help jumpstart anyone's journey to healing crystals. I saw this title at my local bookstore, and noticed that NetGalley had a copy of it. So thank you NetGalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review!

I found the pages to be very well designed with a simple-to-read layout. The information was easy to grasp and the glossary at the back helped me understand what each crystal looked like. I also appreciated understand what crystals could be washed with water, and what needed to be cleansed in another matter.

The only issue I have with this book is that I wish it was more informative. I feel like it provided me a very surface level view of crystals and while it's a great place for new people to start off with, I felt myself itching for more.

This was the perfect little book. First of all, I loved the design and the layout of this book. The cover is beautiful, the color choices are on pointe. It has the witch aesthetic down pat. Second of all, I feel like this book is very relevant, because more and more people are beginning to listen to their bodies and their need for self-care, and as such they will be more inclined to pick up this book and also learn about crystals. I enjoyed how the information was laid out, in concise, easy to assimilate chunks, and I particularly liked that there was plenty of space in the pages to add your own notes. The only thing I would change was the lack of real-life pictures of all the crystals, because I think that’s something that often confuses beginners and so it would have been a very useful tool for this book. Still, paired with a good crystal encyclopedia type of resource, this would be a lovely addition to anyone’s esoteric shelf.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I was drawn into this book because I follow the author on social media, and I have enjoyed learning more about crystals over the last year.
This book is absolutely beautiful! The pictures are well-taken, and the writing is lovely.
I think this is a great book for those just beginning their journey to learn about crystals or for people trying to keep a reference guide for their crystals.
I really enjoyed the affirmations and rituals for each crystal.

This is such a perfect start for someone who is just beginning their journey. Although I think it’s also fantastic for those further along, even. I loved the layout and helpful reminders throughout for which crystals could go in water, etc. I think the cover is beautiful as well. This is a super helpful addition to your bookshelf!

"Self-Love Crystals" by Katie Huang is not just a book; it's a thoughtful companion for those venturing into self-love, healing, and the enchanting world of crystals. Personally, I found the information well-crafted, making it accessible even for non-readers. It's a gem of a gift for anyone starting their journey into self-care. The exquisite artwork, resonating with each topic's aura, adds a delightful touch.

I appreciate the practical cautions, like when to perform healing spells and using distilled water instead of salt water. The inclusion of historical insights on crystals and their connections to Greek gods adds a fascinating layer. Descriptions of each crystal and their ties to the chakra system further enrich the reader's understanding. Overall, the book seamlessly combines practical advice with captivating details, making it a must-have for modern mystics.

I only recently got into crystals and have a lot to learn. This book is a great introduction to this topic, explaining the basics in a very clear way. And the artwork is gorgeous!

Thank you to the publisher who provided me with an e-copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

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.

This was a decent basic introductory book about crystals. I wish that there was more depth and information about each crystal. I did enjoy the artwork.
