The Sorcerer's Secrets: Strategies in Practical Magick

by Jason Miller

" “If you’re interested in assuring that you obtain real tangible results with your spells and are willing to put the work into doing so, this is definitely the book for you. Completely filled with some amazing insights, ideas, and tips that come from experience. His ideas are some that I’ve never seen in other books. This book alone completely changed how I approach giving offerings to spirits and deities.” —Mat Auryn, author of Psychic WitchThis book is about real magick, effecting real change, in a real world. There are some books on magick that teach it purely as spiritual advancement. There are others that teach it as a form of psychological self-help that effects only inner change. While magick can and should be both of these, it is something more. The Sorcerer's Secrets is about success in practical magick; it is a book that aims at change in both the outer and inner worlds.Beyond a mere spell book or training course, The Sorcerer's Secrets is a field manual on successful sorcery written by a professional sorcerer. The first part of the book lays out the qualities, concepts, and exercises necessary to attempt practical magick. The second part presents clear strategies for tackling almost any type of issue with sorcery.In this book you will learn how The Sorcerer's Secrets will help rescue the art of Magick from those who have ignored, downplayed, or just outright denied the existence of practical sorcery in favor of arcane titles, intangible results, and fantasy attainments."

Reviews

[Steve Cran]

This is one great book that gives one the fundamentals of working effective magick. Many books will give you spells and rituals and maybe even some philosophy yet they will not teach you how to do effective magick. This book does! Jason Miller first starts his book with the fundamental message that magick is a skill which people can perform to various degrees. Some people cannot perform it all while others it comes naturally. In they day of old not everyone was privileged to learn about magick. You had to be selected. Some people were born into families of witches. Now for better or worse it is available to everybody.



The first part of the book starts off with basic fundamental which is something In know I will refer back to time and time again. The most important aspect of magick is meditation. THe author goes through several types of breathing exercises. Such things as vase breathing, cleansing breathing, pore breathing and energy breathing. There are also different gazes and way to charge your breath in order to do magic. Different forms of divination are discussed as well.



When it comes to magical work there are some key areas that he focuses on. These areas are influencing people, financial magick, love and lust magic and protection magick. AA main point the author likes to make is that in order to succeed one must use both magical and non magical means. His magic covers herb lore from voodoo aas well as their ceremonies along with stuff from ceremonial magick. Over all this man is a well rounded sorcerer who teaches you how to be a competent sorcerer.



He makes another good point that you magick can influence other s and it can help build you. Emphasize both they complement each other.



This is one of the best books on Magick I have ever read. To learn more about this author check out these websites. http://strategicsorcery.blogspot.com/

This book is the definition of eclectic. It's a bunch of traditions mashed together, with little explanation. There's a lot of psychology and manipulation techniques in it as well.

On the one hand, some of the basic principals can be very useful for beginners. On the other hand, beginners have no idea what can and can't be used.

There's a lot of cultural appropriation in this book. Miller even mentions that people are apprehensive about appropriating Christian saints, but then follows it up with saying it's totally okay to appropriate that (which, Christianity being open, it is), like people already do with hinduism and buddhism. Except Hinduism is closed of course. There's also a lot of Hoodoo and Voodoo appropriation here that I did not like.

Then there's this weird mixing of tradition. "The greek seed syllable" Seed syllables are used in Buddism and Hinduism. There is some talk of Greek vowels being linked to planets (which is why I think this might be a mix up of terms?), though googling that only gives me a few iffy sources.

The rituals and spells in this book often call onto different spirits without clearly mentioning who they are, which means that they are quite useless without a lot of additional research. The mixing of traditions means that even if you are well-versed in one of the spirits in the ritual, you might have never heard of others in that same ritual.

There were some good parts about effort being needed to get better results, though sometimes they went a bit far in manipulation/conditioning people to do what you want, which I personally wouldn't be comfortable with. I felt like it crossed the line more than once.

This book is riveting. It's full of exercises, information and ideas from a person whose focus is practical and bullshit-free. If you want to use magic to make your life better immediately, an experienced professional sorcerer has finally boiled a huge amount of information down into key practices and techniques taken from traditions ancient and modern and made usable right now. This witch's brew of Greek and Tibetan sorcery, hoodoo, astrological and Goetic magic as well as NLP cuts through obfuscation and lays it all out there. I've never seen so much useful magical knowledge packed into one place, and where his research overlaps with mine I can affirm that he knows what he's talking about. This guy bypasses the glamour of spiritism, and where some books emphasize darkness or light in order to make the reader feel special and set apart from ordinary people, he cuts right through all that jazz and tells you what a real practitioner does to get real-world results. Furthermore, whatever style you currently use is likely to be compatible with this approach; you don't have to start over with a new school of thought, just get down to brass tacks using what you've got.

I adored this book from chapter one! The author has the no-nonsense style that I love (yet rarely get to read) but also adds a bit of familiarity by interjecting notes about his own experiences. All this makes the book highly readable.

I love that "The Sorcerer's Secrets" balances strategy with spellwork to offer guidance in a variety of ways. Miller goes into detail about attacking a problem from several angles, and offers insights on how to blend the magical with the mundane for optimal results. This is the kind of intensity that's hard to find in print these days. In reading this I was often reminded of Kenaz Filan's "Vodou Love Magic" and I was happy to see it listed in back under "Sources for Further Study."

It seems difficult (at least, for me) to find books with a focus only on practical magic. Even the standard spellbook will usually include a few front pages on "what not to do" in witchcraft based upon certain traditions or exclude obvious traditional information that they feel is spiritually wrong. Sometimes the author will even *tell* you that elements have been removed, as though you should be proud of their babysitting! Happily, "The Sorcerer's Secrets" does none of these things. Magic usually considered "black" is given the same treatment as the rest. The reader is privy to all information Miller can share on each topic, and he leaves the spirituality to the individual. What a breath of fresh air this is!

One aspect that pretty much sealed the deal for me was his section on professional spellcasting. This especially means a lot to me because I work for the public, too. Miller is a proud pro and speaks very highly of this line of work. Many times in reading this section I smiled at statements that I too have made in defending the art of working for payment; even more often I shouted "exactly!" at what I *wish* I would have said. In short--this guy gets it. If you're interested in becoming a professional spellcaster, start here. This section is only 10 pages long but is packed full of useful information.

I would be remiss if I didn't address the one thing that seems to dog this book--the editing. From reading some of the reviews on Amazon, one would think that typos alone make or break a book. Speaking as a person who has read texts from the 17th century--containing, from cover to cover, a very different style of English than most readers are accustomed to--I think we're all more than capable of allowing our eyes to skip over the occasional misplaced letter. Whatever this fascination is lately with people dismissing whole bodies of work over grammatical errors I cannot understand. Imperfect editing is the flaw of the publisher and so, in a review of the text, it makes about as much sense as arguing over the cover art.

This would be a great book for someone who is already familiar with magic but wants more depth and focus on the topic. Again, I'd recommend it to aspiring professionals but also to those who want to raise their success rate, organize their process, or simply learn different techniques from a skilled practitioner.

[Verónica Fleitas Solich · Rating 3 out of 5]

It starts out well and interesting and then I think it gets a bit distorted, at least in my opinion, that I just started on the subject, or maybe it was that it ended up discussing issues that didn't interest me.
I will go for the author's other books because here, there is a desire to learn.

[Michael · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book that works on many levels. The author is obviously writing from long experience and brings deep knowledge of many things that are lacking from other similar books. I should say that this book is not for beginners. It assumes at least a good working knowledge of spellwork. It doesn't require decades of preliminary work and Wizarding 205 as a prerequisite. Just be aware that this isn't an introduction for those unfamiliar with practical spellwork. What it is most definitely not is a recipe book filled with spells cribbed from other books and/or websites. It is what it claims to be, a guide to magical practice filled with practical advice on actually practicing and implementing what you want to do.

It approaches magick from the point of view of ceremonial magick but isn't so stiff and oriented toward Kabbalah like many similar books. It doesn't go into great depth in its instructions but provides more than enough guidance to get an interested student moving in their own direction. The breathing exercises and meditations alone would make it a great book but it goes far beyond these.

There are some issues with it. One is that in places the author can't seem to decide if he wants to teach you to be a wizard or car salesman. That wouldn't be a drawback to every reader. The author advocates a three-level model of implementing workings from the divine to the material, which is mirrored in advice on performing workings. Sometimes the material level workings involve NLP techniques, which seem mundane but as the author explains very nicely mirror the rest of the working.

Another issue is that tke book is fil1ed with typos and mistpellings that should've been picked up not just by the edit0r but by a spellxhecker. I ended up not just filling the book with bookmarks and highlights, as I often do, but also with spelling and *shudder* homonym corrections. There is also questionable grammar in many places but the typos are the most obvious. Overall I get the impression that the book was put together in a rush without good editing by either the author or the editor at New Page, who is listed as Kate Henches on the title page.

The illustrations by Matthew Brownlee, a Philadelphia tattoo artist, are very good. The one quibble I'd have is with the decorative brackets around the chapter titles and such things. The two halves are obviously mirrored in Illustrator (or similar) instead of the left and right brackets having been drawn separately. It's just a minor appearance thing but annoys me.

[Matias Selzer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Didn't like most of it.

The whole book is definitely not for beginners.
The book is very superficial and talks about very different stuff.
The author gives many weird invocations without any explanation.

I must say that only some tips are useful.
But nothing you cannot get from any other magick book.

[Taylor Ellwood · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this book, the author presents practical ideas and strategies for people who are just starting out in their magical practice. This isn't a 101 book, but its safe to say it's a 102 book that also offers some insights to magicians with more experience. What I appreciate the most is that the author takes the time to focus on considerations such as finances and explains that while magic can help, it's also important to learn practical mundane skills.

I also appreciate the author's choice to draw on a wide variety of sources that fall outside the traditional bibliography usually found in books. The author illustrates the importance of developing a well-rounded strategy by exposing readers to alternative sources.

There are two reasons this book gets a four instead of a five, however. One reason is because the author doesn't address the value of doing internal work as a practical and strategic solution. while knowing how to do practical magic to solve a problem is important, being able to identify your participation in the problem and making changes is even more important, and more practical. The other reason is that while the author does draw on non-traditional sources, he doesn't address the topic of innovation and how it can be used to develop practical magic.

All that said, this is an excellent book to read, and one I'd recommend to someone just starting out.

[BJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is one of a kind because (as the author points out) it is not the traditional witchcraft/magic type book that either presents you with a spell book and little or no guidance, or is a dogmatic overview of a specific magical system/practice. Instead, this book is a practical handbook that combines practices from several cultures/systems, and doesn't attempt to judge you regardless of what your goals are for using magick.

I've become a big fan of Jason Miller and his cerebral and practical approach to magick, as well as his ability to be relatable and accessible. If you've already read Miller's first book on magical protection, some of the material will be familiar to you. The meditation section is nearly identical at first, but presents some very interesting breathing techniques that were not covered in the protection book.

My only criticism of this book is that I feel like it could have gone into more detail on how one might construct their own customized practice and build confidence in its effectiveness, but it may have been the author's intention to get the reader started, and force them to do additional research on their own (there are some decent resources provided at the back of the book).

[Christian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Highly recommendable introduction in the Arte with emphasis on the practical side. This one is neither a long-winded theory-book, nor a spellbook but claims to be a field guide and as such it succeeds greatly. Even the nearly complete focus on thaumaturgy lessens it’s value only negligibly since at least protection and divination should be in the core-repertoire of every magician, sorcerer or witch. Split into two parts for introductory techniques and further fields of application, each chapter contains practical advice as well as a strategic summa of the afore said. It goes without saying that the real value of this book only opens to whom puts it to good use and practice. Jason’s practical approach gains further credibility as he ads “mundane” strategies to magical, so that they complement each other as it should be. Only for the beginner but great for the beginner. The reading list at the end of the book will keep you working.

[Justin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well written and practical. Filled with well described practices.
That being said, things are a bit too far from my wheelhouse here.
I don't like talking too specific entities with names I can't pronounce or understand.
I assume this book'd be good for people who it resonates with but I am not ready for this.

[Megabit · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a beginner book!!!!!!

[Proxima Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think the perspectives that Miller offers in this book are both refreshing and valuable to anyone interested in the occult. I particularly like the emphasis on combining the mundane with the magickal, not pretending magick is some stand-alone cure-all, as well as mentioning the importance of making meditation and breathwork an integral part of daily practice right out of the gate. I will definitely be incorporating a few of his methods into my own practice!

That being said, sometimes the book comes across as just a liiittle bit preachy, as if he knows all the secrets... A sort of "you can believe what you want, obviously (but deep down you know I'm right)" kind of vibe. Coming from a chaos magick background, I felt slighted by the idea that "belief doesn't matter as much as you think it does", but I still highly appreciate the perspective and in a way it was almost freeing as someone who began their journey as a skeptic and finds it difficult to perform any real "belief and/or ego alchemy" that say, Phil Hine describes in his book Condensed Chaos. I will also say this book could've really, really used a better editor, if there was one at all. Typos galore. But that's nit-picky... the content is what matters.

As with any book on magick, I resonate with some parts more than others, but again I think his view on sorcery as a whole is beneficial to any practitioner out there. I'll definitely be reading Consorting with Spirits after this!

[Helen · Rating 4 out of 5]

After reading Protection & Reversal Magick: A Witch's Defense Manual (Beyond 101), I expected more. For non-professional, plain Jane and Joe, people like you and me.

The book is good, no doubt. A must to have for those interested in magick, and get both books, not only this one.

Too much of real world behavior and professional aspects for my interests.

How to make magick work for almost anyone, practice, techniques and what to expect from the magick in general and from professional witch, magickian or sorcerer. Personal experience based insights what helped and what not to the author.

Take a look at author's website, inominandum.com.

By the way, pronunciation of IAO from the Protection and Reversal Magick is provided here, appreciate that.

Amazing book. Miller is a down to earth, sorcerer, explains everything in a way that can be appreciated by someone who is a beginner or been in the game a while. Invaluable techniques, witty, intelligent writing, and a really likeable guy. Buy it, read it, treasure it.

I enjoyed this book and learned new techniques and topics to look more into. However the typos are very distracting. It is overall a good basic guide and had regular real life advice and encourages you to not just rely on magical, which more books should also suggest. A solid read.

[Onyx · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve had this book hanging around in my small library for a long time, and it’s only now that I’ve taken it off the shelf to start reading it. I’m not a fan of high magical traditions (though the author talks about more than just about that), I only read this now because I just finished its sequel, “Financial Magic.”
The book is decent, written in a nice solid way, but I do have a few disagreements with the author, beginning with his choice of the word “sorcerer/sorceress as that encompassing term describing all users of magic.
From what I understand, sorcerers are basically considered ghostwalkers/spiritwalkers/soulwalkers /dreamwalkers/deathwalkers, usually majoring in areas dealing with the otherworldly. Not everyone working with magic messes with that. It’s kind of like calling every sensitive an empath, or every spellcaster a witch...when witches (male and female) were traditionally healers and, every once in a while, also nature-workers (at least in Western Europe anyway.)
Also, I don’t think a person has to rely so heavily on ceremony to call on entities. Maybe the author is comfortable with color, drama, and excessive ecstasies, but I’m uneasy with the thought of making a big production out of asking for assistance...especially the part when you feel you’ve got to butter someone up to get them to notice you. People do this to celebrities a lot, and I doubt many of them like that kind of attention poured on them...unless they’re Gabors or Kardashians. Just ask for what you want, offer something in return, and if they accept the terms, you should be good to go. But in my opinion, it’s kind of like constantly asking embodied people in this realm for favors...and seriously, do you really want a gaggle of people hanging around you?
Well, I’m just expressing my preferences. *I* think it’s time-consuming, wastes energy, and is overall unnecessary.
However, one of the things I actually do agree with the author on is the topic of meditation. Meditation is absolutely necessary. If it weren’t for me finding out from a number of sources that meditation is not just practiced in religion, mysticism, and spirituality, but also in magic...not to mention encouraged in such disparate areas like psychology, the business world, and probably the arts...I would have tossed it out as just another stupid joke thing that the religious and the more spirituality-inclined do. But I just can’t do that. It’s too essential. It’s so incredibly important, it’s now pretty much accepted in the secular world. I can’t even begin to encourage people enough to meditate, meditate, meditate. Do it as much as you can get away with. If you don’t do anything else this or any other book tells you about magic, at the very least make meditation a regular practice. It really is that big of a deal.
But even here I have to disagree with the author when he says don’t practice meditation lying down. Yes you can. Granted, you should do it on your back, and you should breath from the belly rather than the chest (and at the first time another person should press on your sternum to check if you’re doing it right...if you’re breathing from the chest rather than the diaphragm, it’s going to hurt), but yes, you can totally meditate on your back. And it’s cool if you happen to fall asleep while you’re meditating...it comes with the territory...it just means you’re relaxed. And I know what they all say, but don’t worry about your thoughts getting in the way. Just don’t get distracted.
But this is the bare basic form of meditation. With other meditations you should have a straight-back chair, do it standing, or do that notorious “lotus position”, but meditations come in surprisingly different forms, from prone to breathing to moving meditations. For a more detailed look at the subject, I recommend an old book from 1997, called “Complete Meditation”, by Steve Kravette.
Anyway, this present book is generally good. I may not like all the high magic stuff in there, but at least the overall tone is sensible. It answered a few dangling questions on magic theory that a lot of other books didn’t bother to explain. That helped, because I found it irritating every time they just went straight to the juice. It also mentioned the tendency of some to wait before using magic as the last resort...when by that time the situation may have gotten so far out of hand that it’s close to the point of no return. (I might be wrong, but that perspective probably started propagating through the books written by Scott Cunningham). And it talked heavily about using what would normally be called “glamour magic,” or simply ”glamoury,” “glamour,” or “glamor,” even though nowhere in the book does the author call it by that name. I guess it’s assumed that only women get to use glamor, (that’s a serious mistake), so a lot of other stuff that would also qualify easily under that term might be just as easily overlooked, no matter who uses it. But that’s a secret between you and me. (My general thanks goes out to the author of “Glamour Magic,” Deborah Castellano, for that insight.)
Anyway, this book managed to shift my perspective a little, from seeing magic as something you just had to hold onto for dear life, to just instruments among a variety of different other instruments you can choose from to accomplish whatever you do.

[Nemo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I want to and could simply summize my review to: Buy it, you won't regret it, but it may not be suitable for everyone. It is not a book for beginners, and shouldn't be bought to get into a craft, rather the purpose of the book is in it's title; to give you advice on how to use magic strategically.
It gives you lot of solid advice on how to weave the mundane and magical together, to achieve long-term success instead of short lived wins.

It is for that reason i would recommend it to either serious late-stage beginners or intermediates.
Most of the book is actually just common sense, exercises and spells which together form a field guide.

Personally, as a Fan of Millers, i consider this and The Elements of Spellcrafting: 21 Keys to Successful Sorcery two of the most important books i have ever read, and would advice anyone (regardless of practice) to at least read both. Even if its just solid advice from a very cunning Man, it may still have some interesting tidbits or explanations for your use.

What i especially found delightful were the parts of practicing spells for money and the ethics surrounding it, as well as a handy guide to start practicing magic as a way to boost your income.

I got this book second hand for less than 14€ and i think 18€ (at amazon.de) is a more than reasonable price for it.

[Jessica Nightshade · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Sorcerer's Secrets: Strategies in Practical Magick by Jason Miller is a powerful and insightful guide for anyone serious about achieving tangible results with their magical practice. Miller’s depth of knowledge and experience shines through in his unique techniques and strategies, making this book stand out from more conventional guides. While some sections can feel unnecessarily complicated or heavy with jargon, the overall content is rich with valuable insights and practical advice that go beyond typical spellbooks.

What makes this book brilliant is its focus on real-world application—Miller isn’t interested in vague theories or purely psychological approaches. Instead, he emphasizes practical sorcery that brings about change in both the inner and outer worlds. The first half of the book lays a strong foundation with essential concepts and exercises, while the second half delves into detailed strategies for tackling various magical goals, from prosperity to protection. Even if the complexity might be a bit daunting at times, The Sorcerer's Secrets is a compelling read that will challenge and elevate your practice. Four stars for a thorough and thought-provoking manual that’s perfect for the dedicated practitioner looking to deepen their craft.

[Rogue Blackwood · Rating 4 out of 5]

The things I love the most about Jason Miller's books are the underlying magickal theory that he lives by and how he executes his practical and eclectic magick.

This book had great pearls just as his other books do, and so far I've yet to be disappointed by a single one. They are well researched and the man himself is a well-learned and practiced practical sorcerer.

For me and my practice what I really get out of these books more than the rituals or spells is the strategy and as said above the magickal theory. He presents this in a way of experience and conversation. Summarizing clearly. Now, my personal preferences are going to shift with the type of breathing exercises and entities that I work closely with, but his general set up and timing of practice is incredibly helpful.

And I believe every witch, sorcerer(ess), magician, etc. can learn something from his books. I recommend them to intermediate and advanced practitioners. I think a lot of us overlook certain foundational practices after awhile and this can help shake some dust off your practice.

[Wolfie · Rating 1 out of 5]

All basic stuff really. He acts like he invents his teachings himself but he uses a lot from shamanism in general in his books and the courses he offers.

Jason Miller is also a hypocrite and spreads misinformation a lot. He also states he respects Daemons but he teaches the amateur ways of the new religion of Christianity and claims it will do all with force and more which is nonsense. Daemons existed before Christianity and we're even here during the age of shamanism and will be here when humans are long gone.

Anyway, if I could give a zero I would. Noteworthy addition, he uses manipulation tactics in his books with induction words

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

It took me a long time to work my way through this book. I appreciate how grounded and practical it is. Some of it is way past my skill and interest level, but I am using many of the energetic practices presented in the book. I also appreciate how the author emphasizes mastering the skills/techniques and then using them flexibly based on individual and situational needs, as well as balancing them with daily choices/concrete steps to achieve the desired results.

[Quin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall I enjoyed reading this book. It gives a lot of eclectic techniques in a very clear manner. One thing it doesn't do is explain why he believes the techniques work, so you have to figure out if it will fit into your own praxis.
The main reason I'm deducting a star is for cultural appropriation. I think it's pretty easy to suss out though, so I wouldn't let that stop you from giving this book a go if you're interested.

It's rare to find a book on magic that has original content or an original take on occult ideas.

Whilst it does presupose a certain level of knowledge in the reader, it could also easily picked up by someone completely new to the topic and utilised to good effect.
