A Beginners Guide to the History, Practice & Science of Magick and the Paranormal. This book is an accessible introduction for anyone curious about magick, the paranormal, and the possibility that human consciousness may extend beyond what we currently understand.
Bridging the fantasy of Magick portrayed in movies, books and popular culture with its historical and real-world traditions, this book explores where Western Magick came from, how it evolved, and the people and ideas that shaped many of the practices we recognize today.
It also introduces parapsychology - the scientific study of paranormal phenomena - and examines decades of research into experiences and claimed abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, and extrasensory perception (ESP). Practical exercises invite you to experiment for yourself. Learn how to work with intention and symbols, explore your own intuitive and ESP abilities, and begin developing a personal magickal practice grounded in curiosity rather than fantasy.
Part history. Part practical guide. Part exploration of the unexplained. This is a starting point for anyone who has ever wondered whether there might be more to magick - and to the human mind - than meets the eye.
