Book Review – Hieroglyphic Words of Power: Symbols for Magick, Divination and Dreamwork by Normandi Ellis
Book Review Hieroglyphic Words of Power Symbols for Magick, Divination and Dreamwor by Normandi Ellis 264 Pages Let me begin by saying that I may display a bias for this book from the start. I work with the Egyptian pantheon, have read other works by Normandi Ellis and find her works the perfect balance of academia and magick… … Words are magic.

Book Review – Make Magic of Your Life: Passion, Purpose and the Power of Desire by T. Thorn Coyle
Book Review Make Magic of Your Life Passion, Purpose and the Power of Desire by T. Thorn Coyle 256 Pages I will admit to pre-judging this book, thinking it yet another New Age tome on how to “attract” your best life.

If you are a person who works with…
