About the author
Yulia Van Doren is the author of a series of books on crystal healing published by Quadrille, including Crystals: The Modern Guide to Crystal Healing, its follow-up Crystallize, and the more recent Crystals: The Oracle Deck. The books introduce individual crystals and stones, describing how to select, cleanse, and work with them, and pairing that practical guidance with imagery aimed at a general readership rather than specialists. The Oracle Deck extends this into a card-and-guidebook format for divination-style use alongside the crystal descriptions. Across the series, the approach stays consistent: short entries on individual stones, their traditional associations, and simple rituals for incorporating them into daily life. The books are pitched at readers new to crystal work looking for an accessible, visually driven entry point rather than a scholarly or historical treatment of mineralogy or folklore.
