What is Magic?

Magic is a spiritual path which is not very well understood in our society. This is because the theory and practice of magic have never before been explained clearly and convincingly in a way that makes sense to intelligent and thoughtful people. Written in a sassy irreverent style What is Magic? discusses how such otherworldly concepts as demons casting spells and bewitching are just the hidden underside of everyday society - the skeletons in everybodys closet. What is Magic? answers the questions which all serious spiritual seekers no matter what their spiritual path ask at one time or another but can never find satisfactorily answered: 1) What is the difference between faith and fooling yourself? 2) What is the relationship between altered states and normal everyday life? 3) If you lose your desires as many spiritual paths advocate what zest or spice does life have left? 4) If the world is an illusion or dream as its said to be then why does it seem so real? 5) Where does the world of magic - the shamans world - take off from the world of everyday life? What and where is the interface? 6) Why is it so difficult to achieve real permanent spiritual growth?Contents: Spirits Intent The Nature of Reality Spells Charms & Rituals Science Debunked Demons The Nature of the Self Bewitching Magic & Money Death Black Magicians & Vampires Power Places The Magicians God Magical Time Magic and Morality Dreaming & Stalking Magic and Sex.Bob is daring willing to be offensive with his truths and wise in the ways of words and magic. ... Bob Makransky I feel has written a great treatise on magic. I urge you to enjoy it as much as I have. from the foreword by Michael Peter Langevin publisher of Magical Blend magazine.There is a certain no-nonsensical feel to his presentation that is both refreshing and a bit disconcerting. Makranskys writing style is very different from other New Age authors and that alone should appeal to readers looking for a bit more substance in their study of magic - J Byrne Psychic Magic magazine
