Creative Spirituality

Beautiful, vivid photos that definitely make the book. Gorgeous full color shots of all of the crafts, as well as zen photos randomly scattered through the book. I loved the quotes scattered throughout as well. The projects within are designed to bring a calm and peace to your daily life. The instructions are easy to follow for anyone making these crafts as well as easily adaptable if your needs differ. They vary from easy, such as the Healing Meditation Candle and the Receptivity Salts or can be quite involved such as the Star Light with Nine Points and the Doors of Perception Curtain. I have already made the Travel Altar, Smudge Pot, the Witness Mirror which I use for a small shrine, and of course the Low-Fire Kiln. I was very pleased to see the instructions for that included since I didn't really want to find try and find a local kiln that I could use. I have also used the kiln to make a Simple Earthen Chalice found in Witch Crafts by Willow Polson. I have a list of items that I wish to do soon, such as the Dream Decanter, the Amulet Bag, the Zafu and the Belly Belt. LOL. I have other projects to finish first or my husband won't let me buy the items needed for new stuff. I have 4 dresses cut and ready to sew for my daughters that have been sitting by the sewing machine for almost a month. :D I find this book invaluable no matter what Path you may be on.

Surround yourself with spiritual beauty

When I discovered this book I was filled with delight. The vivid photographs which are bursting with color depict each project in absolute detail. The instructions for making the crafts are easy to follow and the cost of gathering the necessary supplies is minimal when compared with purchasing something at a shop. I was especialy taken with the dream decanter, the retablo, and the hope vessel. Even if your not going to make any of the crafts, the photographs and pictures alone are worth having as a coffee table book.

An Invitation to the Spiritual

This is such an amazing book of projects and crafts which truly do enhance your spiritual life. Each and every project from the low fire kiln to the dream decanter is a wonderfull idea. My personal favorite however was the portable altar. Everyopne can benefit in some way from reading this book.

The projects within are designed to bring a calm and peace to your daily life. The photographs are marvelous and rich with detail. The instructions are easy to follow for anyone making these crafts. Some of the wonderful projects which you can create with this book are, a smudge pot, a portable altar, a dream decanter, a tarot pouch, mexican retablos, a beautiful beaded vial and soooooo much more. I find this book invalueable no matter what your spiritual path may be
