Crystal Journey is the story of a man who has travelled a spiritual journey for his adult life, in Sinai, Egypt, the Himalayas and Europe, on a quest. A quest for life, a quest to overcome fear, to hunt and place crystals. It's a tremendous read. It will excite and interest anyone on a spiritual path, who seeks deeper meaning in life, and who is perhaps a little tired of the standard expression of new age ideas.

The book remains unpublished because it is surprisingly candid, real, inwardly honest and close-to-the-bone, in a style which is uncommon in modern novels and autobiographies – which most publishers do not like or consider too risky. It stimulates the reader to look with piercing clarity at themselves and their own journey. With great pleasure, the Glastonbury Archive presents this otherwise unpublished book – it's the kind of book which gets passed around a lot, due to its readability, its personal tone and exceptional value as an initiatory experience in its own right.
Ivan MacBeth is a true seeker who nowadays shares his experience and example in encouraging others to pursue their quest. He spent years as a world-traveller, pilgrim and crystal hunter. Since the late-1980s he has been back in Britain, his homeland, working in running magical camps, sweat lodges and initiatory experiences, and building modern stone circles. Well-versed in esoteric lore and spiritual understanding, he shares his experience with integrity and realism, without glamour – often out in the sun and rain.
