RECOMMENDED READING
The following books are either referred to in the text, or they contain useful material which expands on the text.
PSYCHIC PROTECTION AND REMOVAL OF PSYCHIC INFLUENCES
Psychic Self Defense by Dion Fortune
First printed in 1930, this work has been reprinted a number of times. It is usually the first book a novice magician is told to purchase. Published by Aquarian Press, Wellingborough, England and distributed in the USA by Samuel Weiser, York Beach, ME.
Spiritual Cleansing by Draja Mickaharic
Published in 1982 by Samuel Weiser, York Beach, ME. This work deals with the removal of negative spiritual influences. I wrote this book for the layperson rather than the novice magician (the audience for Dion Fortune's work).
SPIRITUAL PROPERTIES OF THE PLANT ANIMAL, AND MINERAL WORLD
The Psychic Garden by Mellie Uyldert
Published by Thorsons Publishing Group, Wellingborough, England, 1980, now out of print.
Metal Magic by Mellie Uyldert
Published by Thorsons Publishing Group, Wellingborough, England, 1980, now out of print.
The Magic of Precious Stones by Mellie Uyldert
Published by Thorsons Publishing Group, Wellingborough, England, 1981, now out of print.
The author of these three books is a brilliant and understanding psychic whose primary interest is healing. All three of these books are the best in their field! The English editions are translated from the original Dutch.
Living Medicine by Mannfried Pahlow
Published by Thorsons Publishing Group, Wellingborough, England, 1980, now out of print.
This book deals entirely with herbal healing, but it is worth reading because it gives a very complete introduction to the anatomy of plants. Acquaintanceship with the book will build the necessary understanding of the plant kingdom which one must have in order to work with the herbs magically. Translated from the German.
HERBS
The following herbal references are a good starting point for exploring the vegetable kingdom, whether for healing or for magical use.

MAGIC AND SPELLS
The Book of Secrets of Albertus Magnus
Of the Virtues of Herbs, Stones, and Certain Beasts, Also a Book of the Marvels of the World
Edited by Michael R. Best and Frank H. Brightman, Published by Oxford University Press, NY, 1973, paper edition, 1974.
This is the best edition of Albertus Magnus, but it is likely to be difficult to find. It reveals what our ancestors believed in, and can teach us that beliefs are a variable thing.
The Archidoxes of Magic by Paracelsus
Published by Ibis Press, Lake Worth, FL, 2004.
Pow-Wows or the Long Lost Friend by John George Hohman Published by Fulton Religious Supply Co., NY.
There are better editions of this book available, but they are hard to find. The work was first published in the 1820s and has been kept in print since then. This alone is a good testimony to its usefulness!
