<b>Alexander, C. [Claude Alexander Conlin]. Crystal Gazing: Lessons and Instructions
 
−
in Silent Influence with the Crystal. [Revised edition]</b>
 
−
<br>C. Alexander, Los Angeles, California,
 
−
<br>Undated, circa 1924. 38 pages. (Note that despite an identical title,
 
−
this revised edition has entirely different contents than the previous edition of the
 
−
same name.)

This booklet carries a special dedicatory page: "Written especially
 
−
for and dedicated to members of The Crystal Silence League." (See below.) The
 
−
inside back cover, which was imprinted with a list of books for
 
−
sale, was pasted over with a light blue sheet declaring "I
 
−
have now completed my full course of lessons entitled The Inner
 
−
Secrets of Psychology. The sale of ALL OTHER books I have
 
−
heretofore listed has been discontinued." This notice would seem
 
−
to indicate that this undated booklet was Conlin's final volume
 
−
on Crystal Gazing. Because the first booklet of this name was
 
−
published in 1919, the Crystal SIlence League dates to 1920,
 
−
and Inner Secrets of Psychology was published
 
−
in 1924, it is likely that this second version of "Crystal
 
−
Gazing: Lessons and Instructions" was published between 1921 and 1923.

The purpose of this booklet was not to teach the divinatory art of

crystal scrying to beginners, but rather to instruct those who
 
−
had purchased crystal gazing balls from Alexander in how to use
 
−
them receptively to benefit from the "daily Mental Treatments" he
 
−
projected to them via his own crystal ball.

This is the first book in a multi-volume set; it is the only book in the

set with a chapter on crystal gazing. The intent here, unlike in the author's

other books, is to teach thought projection by means of a crystal ball. This
 
−
is the kind of projected visualization which he taught his students to receive via
 
−
their own crystal balls when he sent messages and healings to them.

Theodore Deodatus Nathaniel Besterman (1904–1976) was a psychical researcher,
 
−
bibliographer, biographer, and translator. Born in Lódź, Poland,
 
−
he moved to England while still young. In 1924 he wrote his first book
 
−
on psychical phenomena,
 
−
"Crystal Gazing: A study in the History, Distribution and Practice of Scrying"
 
−
which was followed by "The Divining Rod: An Experimental and Psychological Investigation" (1926)
 
−
From 1927 to 1935 he was the investigating officer for the
 
−
Society for Psychical Research. "Water Divining: New Facts & Theories" (1938)
 
−
was his last book on psychism. He served in the British Royal Artillery
 
−
during World War Two and subsequently worked for UNESCO. During the 1950s he
 
−
lived in Switzerland and thenceforward devoted himself to translation, biography,
 
−
and bibliographical writing about Voltaire. He returned to England in the late 1960s
 
−
and died there in 1976.

−
Frederick Hockley (1809-1885) was an important if often-overlooked figure
 
−
in nineteenth-century occultism. He was an active "seer" who engaged in
 
−
scrying, and took an interest in ritual magic, alchemy and spiritualism. He
 
−
was also a Freemason, who later in life joined the Societas Rosicruciana in
 
−
Anglia and other esoteric fraternities, and his work was posthumously used
 
−
by various members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Hockley is
 
−
also rightly renowned for the manuscripts he created, for he sought out and
 
−
carefully prepared copies of numerous grimoires and other magical,
 
−
alchemical and kabbalistic texts that had lain hidden in private
 
−
collections around England. In addition he compiled a number of his own
 
−
magical texts, as well as keeping detailed records of his many scrying
 
−
sessions. "Invocating by Magic Crystals and Mirrors" is one of Hockley's
 
−
own writings. In it he describes the philosophy and method of
 
−
"crystallomancy" ("crystal gazing" or "scrying through crystals or
 
−
mirrors"), a practice which has long been associated with ritual magic.
 
−
John Dee and his seer Edward Kelly were of course famous proponents of the
 
−
system during the Elizabethan years, and after a period of relative
 
−
obscurity it had found a new popularity in Spiritualist circles during the
 
−
nineteenth century. Hockley's is a short work, that is reproduced from an
 
−
original manuscript, dated 1869, that he presented to Barbara Honywood, a
 
−
well-known society Spiritualist of the time. Honywood was said to have
 
−
mediumistic powers, and it seems likely that Hockley prepared and gave the
 
−
manuscript to her in the hope that it would excite her interest in the
 
−
process, and perhaps persuade her to act as his "seer." This Teitan Press
 
−
edition is the first ever publication of the work. In addition to a full
 
−
color facsimile of the beautifully decorated original manuscript,
 
−
Invocating by Magic Crystals and Mirrors also includes a typeset
 
−
transcription, a fascinating Introduction by Hockley scholar R. A. Gilbert,
 
−
and the text of the "Invocation of the Crowned Angel," a related work taken
 
−
from Hockley's manuscript records of his personal scrying activities. -->

The Curious Lore of Precious Stones
 
−
George Frederick Kunz
 
−
Precious and semi-precious stones have many qualities beyond their physical attributes. They have remarkable monetary value, and in the opinion of most of mankind, from the earliest recorded times to the present, they have abilities and characteristics that can only be termed magical.
 
−
 
−
Agate, for instance: Cardan believed that it cured insomnia; an air ship designed in 1709 by a Brazilian priest planned to use agates as antigravity devices. Amber: ancient Greeks thought it the fossil ized tears of Indian birds, weeping over the death of Meleager. Amethyst: believed to prevent drunkenness anti to cool sexual pas sion. Beryl: in the Middle Ages it helped one in battle or law suits, rendered one amiable, intelligent, and diligent. Rubies: divided by the ancients into male and female stones, they could make Water boil, it was believed, arid could protect one's fruit trees from tempests as long as they were uncontaniinated.
 
−
 
−
Dr. Kunz, Americas foremost gemmologist, long consultant to Tif fany's, prepared the definitive book on this fascinating, traditional gem lore. Ranging over a wide wealth of sources oral, ancient lapidary manuals from the Middle Ages, Greek and Roman geograph ical accounts, the Eddas, archeological discoveries in Egypt, the Bible, oriental gem books, travelers' accounts in the primitive world, historical documentation of the fated gems of the world he provides an unmatched account of the inner life of the gem.
 
−
 
−
Among the larger topics which he covers are: exotic beliefs about gems, the use of gems as ansulets and talismans, carved and engraved magical stones (including scarabs), luminous stones, stones of ill omen, crystal balls and crystal gazing (scrying), the religious use of gems in many traditions, birth stones, the astrological meaning of precious stones, the magical and therapeutic value of gems, and much else.
