@timothys3436 Год назад

I'm so glad he includes people with aphantasia. I've felt like it's my biggest road block is the fact that I do not visualize

@miguelaviles2391 Год назад

wow I want to thank you for bringing up Aphantasia. i had no idea i had it until about a year ago. as an former professional dancer and instructor for over 30 years and not previously knowing about this, i guess i relied on my other senses to capture the imagination, feeling and emotion of the art. I looked into aphantasia further i've discovered so many other artist have it. When i do my rituals i try to get my mind to feel it because i can't see it, and i've discovered the result is the same and just as powerful. thank you again for bring it up!!!

@briscocountythethird457 Год назад

I added this to my wishlist just a couple days ago. I haven't read Psychic Witch, I'm kind of on the fence about it simply because a lot of the stuff he seems to cover I have access to in several other books (Condensed Chaos, Hands On Chaos Magick, the Golden Dawn self initiation course by the Ciceros etc.) This one got me excited reading the table of contents and the fact there are spells that need no visualization just brought it up to the top of my wish list

@nilsgutenberg313 Год назад

Psychic witch is worth a read, although you might know most of it from ither books. As the important thing is often how the things are discribed and not what. I tead loads of esotetic stuff. This one turned to be one of my favourites to recomnend anybody.

@Jethorus Год назад

i genuinely thought I had aphantasia for a long time and it turns out I do not. I think practice with intent is a factor in visualization

@FoolishFishBooks Год назад

Very interesting... Thank you for sharing!

@justinbirkholz7814 Год назад

I was just debating whether or not to buy this book last night so this is perfect timing! I'm glad I got to see some of the contents. I think I'll have to add this to my cart now. I have to admit that I was hesitant to get Psychic Witch but it ended up being a really excellent book.

Mat Auryn was on Circle Sanctuary podcast last week on Circle Talk. He did a fantastic interview. He really was delightful to listen to.

@abaddon2148 Год назад

oh as SOON as i heard that aphantasia bit i was SOLD! it's not i don't have a "mind's eye", but i feel my ability to visualize and hold that visualization is diminished, making spellwork difficult at points. i can't wait to see his workarounds!

I wish I had so much energy and creativity as Benebell. She is amazing! I have her tarot deck.

I was today years old when I found out about aphantasia! I guess you really do learn something new everyday lol.

@thewizardofawes8194 Год назад

Hi, dear Fish! I haven't had the opportunity to read Matt Auryn's books yet, but I'm even more curious now, after your review of his second book. The inclusiveness aspect also catches my attention, especially about everything you said about people who have aphantasia. For all I know, it is almost inevitable to resort to at least some degree of visualization (even a low one), so I suppose Auryn seems to have achieved quite a deed there! PAX!

@FoolishFishBooks Год назад

Yes! quite unusual and definitely impressive!

I'm looking forward to reading _Mastering Magick: A Course in Spellcasting for the Psychic Witch_ and _The Psychic Art of Tarot: Opening Your Inner Eye for More Insightful Readings._ I'm currently going through the exercises in _Psychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick & Manifestation._ While performing one of the exercises in Psychic Witch, I had a most amazing experience. Let me explain, below. Recently, I perfomed rituals at various triple crossroads. I made offerings to the Goddess Hekate. The rituals came from a book by Jeff Cullen called _Liber Khthonia: A Contemporary Witchcraft and Devotional Tradition of Hekate._ I asked the Goddess Hekate to come into my life. I told Her that I want to be one of Her witches. One night, I was performing a meditation exercise from Mat Auryn's _Psychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick and Manifestation._ I entered into a trance and I had a conversation with the Goddess Hekate. I am now loyal to my compassionate and inclusive Dark Goddess and Queen, Hekate. And I couldn't be more pleased.

@francineh.7825 Год назад

Thanks for including the content pages. I would like to order this book but have to ask a question first. I had ordered another magic book in the past and it had a section on sacrifices, as an animal lover and a green witch I was absolutely horrified to read this and immediately returned the book. Please tell me there is nothing like that in this book?!

@FoolishFishBooks Год назад

You're safe. Mat offers a very nice system for the 21st century :)

It's likely that if you get one you'll want to eventually read the other, but I wouldn't say there's a particular order for them, they just cover different ground :)

@Akamaholic Год назад

I'd personally be a little reluctant with this book. I don't really care for magick with new agey influence, which some of the items in the table of contents sounded very, very new agey. Like, to me you don't need a "spell to open the third eye." But that's just my approach to magick. I did see a section dedicated to the Hermetic principles so I'm hoping it still has some traditional influence.

@FoolishFishBooks Год назад

I think that if you are already happily established in a tradition this is really going to be a "pick out a few nice tips" kind of thing, not a wholesale embrace :)

@urbanbowman61 Год назад

I like his work but its so hard to take it seriously when the forward has been written by someone who has taken it upon themselves to rename themselves 'Silver Ravenwolf'. For goodness sake. Its never beige Otter, off white froglet, transluscent worm or spotted ameoba is it? Its always some godawful throttling of new age tropes people use to lend themselves a mystic that no one is really fooled by. You see this a lot in the new agey community and, sorry, but I think its laughable and here dimishes an otherwise excellent edition. I can just cant take that forward seriously.

@thedragodile545 Год назад

Or, for another example, a Foolish Fish? For many Millennials, including myself, Silver Ravenwolf was the gateway into witchcraft and paganism in the modern world.
