Great Information

This is the best information on Metal magick I have found anywhere. With the addition of Crystals and Gems, it gave detailed info that I had been trying to find for sometime. Pictures in this book along with clear wording makes it simple to understand yet not in a child like manner. Thanks to Scott for creating this great book to add to your library! We will surely miss him.

Incomplete but with some uses

Not the best book by Cunningham I've ever read. While it gives some interesting ideas the encyclopedia is incomplete. It might be useful as a stepping stone but not as a definitive source of information (but isn't that why you want an encyclopedia). The most important thing to remember (that occured to me after buying this book and disagreeing with most of his associations with the stones) is that no one can tell you how an herb or stone or whatever is going to aid you. You have to work with them and discover for yourself. This book could encourage cookie cutter magic and spiritual laziness. I do enjoy the book for the thorough research he has done on the the folklore of the stones and as a starting point for making my own. Cunningham is a good author, he just can't deliver in this instance.
