Good Place To Start,
By Boudica (Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Natural Magic (Paperback)
This book was originally published in 2001 by Thorsons Publishers as Way of Natural Magic. It has been picked up by Lear Books and reissued with a new cover and ISBN number. This is noted inside the book. The new elements of this "revised edition" includes Pennicks own illustrations. Nigel Pennick is a very respected English magician and has authored many books on magic.This is a basic primer for those interested in magic and it's associations with nature. Using time, seasons, elements and "magic inherent in the natural world" this book gives you the basics to work meditations, make magical "artifacts" and use these for "personal empowerment". Reading through this manual, I enjoyed Mr. Pennick's style of writing to the reader and addressing them as knowledgeable. He does not talk down to the reader, rather he treats the reader as one who knows what they want to do, and shows how to attain it. He describes the background necessary to understand processes, and then works in the actual process using grown up language and assuming the person reading is intelligent enough to understand what he is saying. The author assumes nothing but does not treat the reader like a third grader. The material covered gives the reader a basis in magic, how to approach it's natural values and work with those values to achieve success. He covers the cycles of time and the seasons, the four elements, energy and how to recognize it in its natural places and how to draw the energy for magical workings. There are parts that reflect Mr. Pennicks own preferred method of magic. If you are looking at working magic specifically in a natural environment and being as earth friendly as possible, this book is a wonderful introduction to the concept. It also has much to offer in the way of guidance to the natural practitioner. The roots of this material come from Old English traditional magic and are carefully preserved and explained for the reader. This is a nice book, one which offers the basic building blocks as well as practical guidance. A nice addition to a working magical library. boudica

There are parts that reflect Mr. Pennicks own preferred method of magic. The diagrams and illustrations are very well done and add information as well as beauty to the book. Mr. Pennick is an accomplished artist. In the Appendix there is a list of Books Authored by Nigel Pennick, and other a couple of other contributions. The list of his work is extensive and shows how well versed he is on the topics he chooses to cover in this book.
