My mushy stage has passed now so feel free to edit this post if you need to because I am going to rant for a bit.

About this Crystal Bush. Supposedly she was Linda's really good friend. Where does it say that Linda picked her to continue her legacy? And why does she feel that Lindas legacy includes making and keeping the almighty dollar before anything else? And why does she feel the need to write bad books and then claim that they are in Lindas words?

I searched the beginnings of Sun Signs, Goobers (finally got a copy, although it's used ), and Love Signs for ANY mention of Crystal. Not anywhere could I find her name! Not a dedication, not a thank you! Nothing! But Linda has thanked and dedicated to SO many others! Why not her! It's a scam I think.

Can somone check their copy of Star Signs and Venus Trines at Midnight (did I miss any others) to see if I missed a dedication and let me know? I don't wanna jump the gun here.

Boy, if it were my friend, I would want to include them.

With all due respect to Crystal, she wrote Relationship Signs from Linda's notes. I don't think the book claims to be Linda's work (even though it has Linda's name on the cover). Crystal (and another astrologer) wrote the book, and they state such.

You won't find mention of Crystal in Linda's books, because Linda met her late in Life after the books were published. Crystal helped Linda financially when she was broke. Linda spent all her money trying to find her lost daughter, Sally. It sent Linda into bankruptcy. Linda considered Crystal to be her only loyal friend. Regardless of why she wanted Crystal to carry on her name, we have to respect Linda's decision. Linda had a plan, and she knew what she was doing. Perhaps, Linda knew that Crystal would be a shrewd business woman and thus keep Linda's books marketed aggressively, so that Linda's message will be heard by all. Whatever the reason, Linda most definitely had a plan.

We may not all agree with the commercialism of the official site, but we all have to concede to two things:
1. Marketing Linda's name takes money (and there is nothing wrong with making money, if it's done ethically).
2. This commercialism DOES keep Linda's name alive to the masses.

I do not agree with the way Gregory runs the official site, but Crystal must see some value in keeping him around. I also do not like how he disregards most of Linda's beliefs, including immortality, and the way he allows such vile comments and censors every Post that reflects an opinion different from his own. That's why I created this site. For Linda. A site that honors all her beliefs. A place where all the "outcasts" can show their Love for Linda with no fear of banishment, insults from a Webmaster, or other reprisals. The official site seems to attract a lot of negative energy (unlike ours), but there are many people there who would never have been exposed to Linda's Spirit otherwise, so I still give it my full support and recommendation--even though I have been banned from it.

Yes, I support Crystal also, because as far as we all k-NOW, she is doing exactly what she promised Linda she would. That is no easy task, and we have no right to judge. I also do not judge Gregory, even though I have artistic differences of opinion. His job is difficult also, and he just may not be suited for it, but I'm sure he means well.

Well, I have been on a few message boards before this one, and I have felt that clique-ey-ness. I don't think we have it here, but if I ever offend anyone or act clique-y in any way, please ask Linda's astral self to bonk me on the head with a book or something!

Where did you get the info? I think I read something like that at the other site, but I wanted to know if that was the only place that talks about Crystal being the "chosen" one.

I feel weird pursuing this, but I just have a "gut" feeling that something isn't right. I am sure Linda knew what she was doing (hopefully she wasnt desperate in her last days) when she chose.

I always thought that she was referring to 'Ruth' who rhymes with truth'...

I think (don't quote me) that Crystal is a Cancer.
