J. Conway shows you how to work with animals for your spiritual growth and increased magickal power.

Familiars are not limited to the stereotypical Witch's cat. They can be virtually any animal, real or imagined. When you commune with them, they can warn you of danger, generate healing energy, and give you unlimited, unconditional love.

As you will learn in Animal Magick, this relationship does not have to be passive. You can actively work with your familiars in meditation or when doing magick. In these pages, you will discover the secrets of over 100 animals you can work with on your spiritual path. Perform rituals that call on the fox to bring you cunning and slyness. Work with the blue jay to bring courage and to alert you, through divinations, of potential problems in your future. Calling upon the cobra can help you receive spiritual wisdom from the Goddess.

This book is filled with facts and lore for each animal, as well as meditations and rituals for peace, love, and protection. Animal Magick is not an ending, but a beginning. It will show you how to link with animals for guidance and power — which they will freely give. The first step in this new beginning is for you to read this book.

Norse Magic has everything you need to learn in order to begin practicing Norse spirituality. Discover the history and religion of the Vikings, including Norse mythology, seasonal festivals, and magical techniques.

If you are interested in practicing Norse Wicca, you'll learn about the three-fold goddess and the god, as well as how to celebrate the holidays, all from the perspective of Norse Paganism. Discover the secrets of herb magic, cauldron magic, cord magic, elf magic, dwarf magic, and more! These magical techniques are presented in a clear, step-by-step format.

The practice of Norse magic enlists the help of the Asa-Gods, Light Elves and good Dwarves. It elicits aid from dead ancestors and the rulers of the Elements. It is an active magic, reserved for participants, not bystanders. In order to work the magic of this system you must attune yourself to the powers of the Elements, calling upon the Asa-Gods and other supernatural beings. Norse Magic includes complete instructions, exercises, and rituals for this technique.

The Norse pagans were one of the last European societies to convert to Christianity, but their pagan mythology and magic survived and continues to thrive. Norse Magic is your key to the study and practice this powerful and ancient spiritual system.

D.J. Conway, whose earlier books include Moon Magick and The Celtic Dragon Tarot, speaks about the Wicca religion with seasoned authority, making this one of the best guidebooks on the market. She begins with an overview of Wicca, explaining its historical roots and dispelling common assumptions. For example, the practice of magic is not the focus of Wiccan religion, just a sideline, she notes. Conway also possesses a strong voice of integrity. Unlike some fad-feeding authors, she discourages teens from becoming involved in Wiccan magic without the explicit approval of their parents. In fact, even advises teens to avoid the practice of magic altogether, since "the vast majority of teenagers lack the life experience or emotional maturity to deal correctly with the ethics involved with magic." This sort of ethical vigilance is carried throughout the book. Conway offers over 500 pages worth of lessons and rituals, including the making of a witch (expect to study at least a year and a day), developing psychic abilities, protection and self-defense, puberty rites, breaking spells, astral projection, magical herbs, and ritual tools. This is the book for beginners, and is certainly a respectable resource for more mature witches. --Gail Hudson]]> 105484 3.56 748 53 2001 472840 1567181643 9781567181647 1 <![CDATA[Flying Without A Broom: Astral Projection and the Astral World]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175044880m/472840.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175044880s/472840.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/472840.Flying_Without_A_Broom_Astral_Projection_and_the_Astral_World 3.58 26 105484 3.56 748 53 2002 447158 156718149X 9781567181494 0 <![CDATA[Magickal Mystical Creatures: Invite Their Powers Into Your Life]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174854723m/447158.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174854723s/447158.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/447158.Magickal_Mystical_Creatures_Invite_Their_Powers_Into_Your_Life 3.93 14
