An Enchanted Life: An Adept's Guide to Masterful Magick

I just finnished this book and I am floored at the spiritual nature of it. In the introduction thier is a list of fifty things to apply for enchanted living. A list I am puttin gon my bathroom mirrior and reading every day. This book has two sections first is called the book of you, the second is called the path. The first is about connecting your self with your sences. It gives informative examples from Ms. Telesco's life and wonderful activities to help you. The second section have four path and a discription of each. The paths are healer, teacher, warrior, and visionary. The discriptions are given in a shaminatic, budist, islamic, and elemental sections. The cross culteral ties in really well. I haven't read a book like this one before, I only hope more become availible on the market. This is a book for any one searching for more than just spells and circles in thier magickal path.

Telesco has written one of the few books I've found that treats me like someone who has an understanding of the craft and is ready to move on. So many books waste space covering Wicca 101 that they're not worth buying. This one assumes I already know what I'm doing and am ready to move forward. One of the main reasons I bought it was b/c it's a a looser guide and not a strict "how to" book. It builds on my basic knowledge and never talks down to me. Not as much fun as Telesco's "bad witch" book, but certainly a worth addition to any witch's library regardless of where you find yourself on the path.

This is a good book for those of us who like to think, and it's a book for the more advanced practitioners of magick. It makes you think about the different paths you might want to take, but at the end you mught choose none of them.There is nothing more to be said about this book that other reviewers haven't said. Also I wouldn't recommend the book "A Charmed Life" by the same author.

Patricia Telesco could not have picked a better name for this book. For if it is anything, it is enchanting. Ms. Telesco is a master in her own right with more than fifty books to her credit. Her latest, An Enchanted Life will prove to be part of her success story. An Enchanted Life is not a beginning "how to" spell or ritual book. This is for the step beyond. This is for soul searchers seeking to create a better spiritual life. Ms Telesco begins An Enchanted Life with a warm welcome, leading the reader into a list of fifty practices for enchanted living. Set at a smooth and easy pace, she then brings you, in-depth, through each step, building upon your self-confidence by using easy, step-by step methods that the reader can apply at their own pace. Bringing forth experience, a mix of philosophies, spiritual enlightenment and magickal perspectives, An Enchanted Life is a wonderful tool for encouragement and self-growth for the reader. If we as a whole could put forth these fifty lessons and apply them individually, the world would be a better place. How refreshing to not only read but practice An Enchanted Life. M.L.

This book is more about spirituality than magick, IMHO, which makes it different and enriching. It's a meaty book that starts out gently and packs a wollop, building on each step in a sacred pattern - a wheel that looks at common archetypes and how they apply to our faith and our daily living. Highly recommended; perhaps her best book yet.
