Making Magick: For Witches & Pagans

This is the first book I've ever read on learning magick. The language used in this book is simple and direct. It is an excellent book for those beginning their journey in the magick path. I would like to thank the author, Edain McCoy, for delivering this book ,especially regarding chapter 2 on "Developing Magical Skills" and Chapter 8 on "Techniques of Advanced Natural Magick" which I've loved and still using as reference whenever I need help in my practice.

As a practicing Witch for over 10 years & a teacher of Wicca, I always reccomend this book to my students as a first book to explore Wicca. It helps them to decide if this religion is right for them at this time. Young & old can easily understand all the concepts put forth in the book. I still refer back to this book in my daily practice. I find Edain's books well-written, informatinve (without the "fluff") and timelessly useful!If you are unsure about Wicca - this is the book to clear up any imsconceptions & let you decide if this path is right for you!

I don't see how anyone who has read this book could want to throw it out. All I can think is that they either didn't read it or they are holding a grudge against the author or both. Personally I don't chose books based on who the author is. This book provides the basics need to know info on magick, what it is and how it works. Sure other books and internet sites may have simliar information, but here it is organized and presented in an easy to understand way. No one holds the market on this information. It's in how the information was presented that I find useful in this book. I've read a lot of books on this subject and a lot on related subjects that touch on this one but never quite get all the nitty gritty of it. I think author has done a find job at bringing it all together under one subject. I actually borrowed this book and read half of it and then decided I had to have it so I could finish reading it. throw it away??? what was that reviewer thinking?I would recommend this book to any beginner and intermediate interested in working magick. It would make a great accompanyment to other wiccan/pagan titles up to and including crowley's if cerimonial magick is your thing. It's always good to read more than one view I think. It gives you a well rounded view of things and not a one sided view.a well written book that obviously had a lot of thought put into it.

This is the first book I've ever read on learning magick. It was clear, succinct,and highly interesting.Edain McCoy gives a great deal of practical advice on the process of learning. I was especially interested in her chapter on "Psychic Defense". She gave excellent examples of how to protect oneself, which I believe is valuable in practicing any magick or dealing with the occult in general. Great book!!!

I was looking for a book to recommend to my Wiccan Students, and I think I may have found it in "Making Magick". It isn't 100% perfect, but no one book can be, yet this lays out the fundamentals well, and is very concise. Highly recommended for the beginning student. It has some interesting extra insights.... well done.

One of the things I love about this book is the fact that not only does it provide detailed information for those who've just started on this path, it also serves as a handy guide for long time practitioners. The section on the Tattwas was also very interesting. Clearly and concisely breaks down and examines the inner workings of magick rituals. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to start on the magickal path.
