Mastering Magick: A Course in Spellcasting for the Psychic Witch

I didn’t think it was possible to bottle magic within the pages of a book, but thankfully I was mistaken. Mastering Magic was an amazing read from start to finish. I’ve been a Pagan for over twenty years of my life and I learned more about magic and myself reading this book than I have after twenty something years of delving into spell books, writing spells and lighting candles. Auryn talks about magic so organically and so openly that I couldn’t help but be pulled right in. I finished this book in three days and then went back for a second read and then the third time around, I started marking the book up and making notes on my favourite spells and practices. Even more amazing, Auryn has spells written by a variety of other magick makers and spell casters so that I felt like I was being taught by a whole community of Witches. His first book Psychic Witch was so good and I expected more of the same int his book; what I got was so much more. I learned about myself and how to form my own magic, weave my own spells, that magic feels like home to me now when it felt like I was merely dabbling before. This book helped me to find my own magical voice and I’m so grateful for Mastering Magick and for Mat Auryn.

Very good read

Great Book to perfect your practice

This book is not a novel and not really meant to be read from cover to cover (well, the author might disagree;). I pick chapters that interest me. Not discounting the early chapters on understanding spellcasting, approaching the Mysteries (really good chapter), cleansing and protection, etc. While I am fairly experienced but qualify to learn more, I jumped forward to the chapters that dealt with planetary influences since I am a qualified astrologer. Well, I wasn't disappointed. The author goes through lunar phases and their particular powers, seasonal applications and timing. There's a separate chapter on planetary energies, including planetary days and hours. Love the diagrams. The Energy Wheel is fabulous, combining astrology, elements, modalities, planetary signs and rulerships (traditional). Interspersed in the chapters are exercises in developing different qualities, such as creating a talisman for second sight, seal of the nine heavens during a waning moon. It's not common to find a book on magical practise that includes astrology. I will certainly go back and read the earlier chapters because not only are they well written, researched and readabie there is information in there that I look forward to incorporating into my own magical practise. Thoroughly recommend this book as it's packed with relevant and innovative ideas to improve your practise.
