About the author
Uma Silbey is the author of two books on crystal work published by Atria Books and Skyhorse Publishing. Crystal Ball Gazing: The Complete Guide to Choosing and Reading Your Crystal Ball offers instruction on selecting a crystal ball, interpreting its symbols, and applying its messages to practical questions, aimed at readers new to the practice of scrying. The Ultimate Guide to Crystals & Stones: A Practical Path to Personal Power, Self-Development, and Healing broadens the focus to crystals generally, describing their traditional associations with personal and energetic development. Both books present crystal work as a structured practice with its own vocabulary and methods rather than a loose collection of folklore, and are written for readers seeking a practical, how-to approach to crystal ball reading and stone work rather than a historical or scientific treatment of the subject.
