isis shop closing

Unfortunately I haven't been able to secure a deal for the sale of the shop in St Albans and unless someone comes forward with the required offer in the next 48 hours we will close our shop on 15th August. So at the moment almost everything is half price (yes that's 50% off!) and all the cabinets, furniture, chairs, therapy couches, meditation cushions etc are for sale.

This is a sad time after 17 years in St Albans iSiS has become part of the fabric of the city. The hundreds of comments from customers, students and clients attest to this and are very welcome. Somehow it seems that there may be some great purpose to it all (or perhaps not?). 

Due to my ongoing medical condition I can no longer commit any time or effort to iSiS. I am unable to work or lift anything and find the steps in the building a test. Hopefully, once I'm fully recovered, I'll be back teaching next year but I'm not sure when or where. First I need another operation and if that goes well (?) I'll consider the next step. 

In the meantime the web site www.thecrystalhealer.co.uk is still active and it would be great to keep in contact with many of you via the web site of on facebook. Also my latest book/card set The Crystal Tarot is published in the next few weeks and we're taking advance orders now. Thanks for your support and perhaps a visit to iSiS will be worthwhile this week.

Petit guide pratique des Cristaux

guide-cristaux_mini.jpg

Petit guide pratique des Cristaux is the French title of the French translation of my book The Little Book of Crystal Tips and Cures which has just been published in France and is available in France... and other French speaking countries :-) 

It always amazes me when someone else has the confidence and desire in my writing to translate it into another language. And this has happened several times already. Current translations include The Crystal Healer in French, Polish and Spanish; The Complete Guide to Crystal Chakra Healing in French and now The Little Book of Crystal Tips & Cures in French and Polish. 

The expertise in a translation of this nature is hard to come by as I sometimes write in colloquialisms which must be almost impossible to translate! I understand from Polish friends that the Polish translations are very good and I know the French ones will be as Cico Books, my publishers, have been dealing with the same French publishers for years. If anyone out there has read the Spanish translation I'd love to know what you think. I believe it was done through the US publishers for Mexico.

Enough for now to say I'm always happy as I can reach more people all over the world :-)

Crystal combinations

I keep being asked about combining crystals, which crystals can you keep together? which crystals work well together and crystals that amplify other crystals. The simple rule (if there are any rules?) is that you can keep any combination of crystals together. Many people say that when they combine crystals they all work better. As each crystal is working not just on a specific issue but on an aspect or specific cause of the issue it is hardly surprising to find this. For example rose quartz, moonstone and chrysocolla all improve fertility but all work slightly differently. One will be the right one for you but we have little idea which (you could dowse these with your crystal pendulum). When you combine all three they always work, so they "appear" to be working better as a group than one by itself. As crystals work by balancing whatever they're working on, if you don't need a crystal it will just look pretty and do no harm.

There are many crystal combinations that work well together such as citrine and crazy lace agate for confidence or tourmaline and smokey quartz (smoky quartz)for protection. There are obviously too many to go into, the positive combinations are endless, so try them for yourself.

Ruby amplifies the effect of any crystal it's placed near. Other crystals are reputed to do this too such as green fluorite and diamond. And some change the effects like Herkimer diamond which brings out the spiritual side of any other crystal.

But, as I said, there are no rules... so try your own combinations.
