Sea Magic: Connecting with the Ocean's Energy

Good soup

this was a christmas present for my girlfriend. however she gives it 2 thumbs up.

At first,i thought this book was going to be an unmagickal disappointment.I was totally wrong.It's a great book on the workings and meanings of 'Sea Magick'.It's full of the global mythical definitions of the ocean creatures that have enchanted maritime people from the dawn of sailing vessels.This book is a thalassophile's guide to directly connect the divine cosmic moon with the immediate physical seaside elements of sand,shells and totem marine life.This book was an excellent idea for invoking an oceanic magickal connection from the vast natural environment of the aquatic world.

I grew up on the East Coast spitting distance from the Long Island Sound. Until my move to Missouri in 2000, I had always lived within the reach, sound and smell of the ocean. So when I saw this book I got very excited. One of the things about living in the Mid West I have never been able to get used to was not having the sea close by. Ms. Kynes has penned a thorough guide to connect with the mystical magic of the deep salt waters of the world. With chapters titled such things as "The Call of the Ocean" and "The Moon, Meditations and Everyday Life," she has shifted the shore inland to any one who hears the siren's song. The chapters are broken down into manageable bits that include journaling exercises, meditations and facts and fiction about all things oceanic. Deities, mythological creatures, seashells and sea animals are all in this small but fact-filled book. And for those of us - like me - who are days away from the nearest seashore, she has included instructions for bringing the coast to our daily existences. My only complaint about this book is the endless lists of correspondences or items without any break. It really is a personal preference, because I am sure some people find these things very useful, but for reading purposes, they can become tedious and dull. I'd love to see more anecdotal passages included in these sections to liven them up. In the back matter are a couple of appendices (one for `mind mapping' and one for runes and ogham) and a bibliography for further study. Recommended.

This book, "Sea Magic" is a book of knowledge especially appealing to those of us who believe Magic is not dead or forgotten, but still can be found. In or at the Sea, the Gods & Goddesses still wait to impart its magicable properties, to those of us seeking to find it, even and especially in this time of worry or distress. "Come down to the Sea" and believe magic and wonder still lives. Blessings, Donna Swindells

I have read numerous books about the magic and energy of the Ocean, however this book excells them all! Many cultures and societies throughout the world and history have had deep interests and developed good meditative and spiritual methods for connecting in with the ocean. The Author, Sandra Kynes, has done an excellent job in presenting both the theory and meditative techniques of working with nature's energy of the ocean. Sandra presents her material in a very rational, understandable way, that is easy to work with. I highly recommend her book to all such seekers of magic, mysticism, and spiritual healing. You will not be disappointed!
