The root of the word science is knowledge; the root of the word magic is wisdom. Serena blends these two spheres of human experience and shows how the latest scientific research and parapsychological study interact. The quantum view of matter is overturning the traditional world-view and the fantastic discoveries being made bring new insights ito the connections between all forms of magic and science. We share the exciting results of her research on the scientific validation of psychic phenomena. Drawing on her ground-breaking work on the pineal gland - something called the third eye - and the phenomenon of second sight, she shows that the greatest implication of psychic phenomena is that each of us is potentially aware of the natural magic of our earth and of everything in the universe. "Where Science and Magic Meet is a clearly written, mind-expanding and compelling exploration of reality at the mysterious boundaries between mind and matter'' Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author of The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds.

By stingray
Format:Paperback
As a practicing witch of over 30 years, I am always fascinated by any attempted proof of our craft
For long my favorite magic magazine has been "New Scientist" which often quite un-wittingly gives
substance to the wisdom and similarities between the sages of old.
I liked this book enormously , written mostly from a hard headed scientific view point
No wild fanciful 'fluffy-bunny' sentimental meanderings, every concept seems to be fully referenced. I could have wished for more evidence on the effects of thee pineal gland on perception,
for example, but the book is clearly a life's work in progress, so tidy conclusions can be
elusive.
Not the easiest of reads, as food for thought it can be challenging but well worth the
effort by the scholar of the hidden arts.

This is a very clear and concise book ideal for those who require scientific proof that magic (and such stuff) actually works. It illustrates there are forces at work which can be and mores the point are being tested out of the media gaze by the serious scientific community. Blessed be.

Very Powerful Insights !!!
25 July 2003
By "ellwyn4"
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This very well researched book delves into everything from: Universal Patterns, PSI reasearch, Breaking down rituals to see why and how they work;
How our own PSI and Anti-PSI abilities affect the successful outcomes of our spells, meditations, prayers.
The psychological factors that either help or hinder our ability to affect our destinies.
She goes into theorize about the Pineal Gland is really the third eye, and how science backs this up. Overall a lot of research is presented here to tie in science(including Quantum Physics, magick, anthropology and parapsychology. Actually rather easy to read considering how much information is contained.
Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for some advanced information on working Magick!

Extraordinary Synthesis of Scientific & Occult Material
12 Feb 2000
By Mark WebMeister
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I read this book years ago, soon after it was published and was blown away by it's even-handed treatment of the material. In particular, the analysis of the pineal gland as the biological equivalent of the "third eye" is exceptional. Skeptics should "subject" themselves to this material which may transform their views and widen their perspective. A thoroughly well-written piece on the physical reality of magick in all of it's forms. I eagerly await Dougal's next work.

Excellent source material.

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Where Science and Magic Meet is one of the source books I use for a survey class I occasionally teach. The book provides information from both a mystical and scientific perspective, without being too *airy-fairy* or b-o-r-i-n-g. I find it very useful as an introduction for folks with no background in the genre and who are skeptical of the idea that *Magick* works. She explains it beautifully.
