"Athena Perrakis is one of the world's leading experts on crystal wisdom and the founder of America's largest retailer of gemstones, Sage Goddess. In Crystalpedia, she collects the wisdom, history, and ancient powers of 182 of Earth's most sacred stones. She also shares how being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at thirty-eight set her on a path of self-healing, combining conventional medicine with alternative healing practices to achieve her current symptom-free state. Always a lover of crystals, she sought to maximize their impact on her health, but found that there was no comprehensive A-to-Z guide collecting their history, geology, geometry, and mythology all in one place. That's the book she has now written. Crystalpedia teaches: The history and lineage of each crystal Astrological, herbal, and medicinal pairings to increase the power of crystals How to align and activate your chakras Unique rituals and ceremonial practices with your gemstones For example, to achieve a perfect night's sleep, use lepidolite to relieve anxiety; sodalite to prevent nightmares; stilbite to remember your dreams in the morning; rose quartz either to connect with your partner or reconnect with self-love; and amethyst to prevent hangovers.
