MindLight: Secrets of Energy, Magick & Manifestation [Paperback]

Silver RavenWolf (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 8, 2006

According to Silver RavenWolf, changing our reality is absolutely possible. The bestselling "Solitary Witch" introduces a groundbreaking system-based on quantum physics, magick, and energy-for tapping into the life-changing potential in all of us.

RavenWolf puts quantum physics theories into plain English and explains how they can be put into practice for personal fulfillment. She teaches how to achieve a special state of consciousness, including how to create and project a "mindlight," or ball of energy, through meditations, visualizations, rituals, and mind exercises. These techniques-some involving elemental energies, astrology, oils, and herbs-can be used for healing, problem solving, relaxation, banishing negative thoughts, and general wellbeing.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Meditation with a quantum twist is what RavenWolf offers in her 19th book about witchcraft and magick. "Meditation is nothing more than the moment you make magick," she explains, and it is precisely the means for harnessing what she calls MindLight, an internal source of power that is "a tool that you can use to build a healthy, positive future." Two-thirds of the book consists of meditation exercises grouped into three categories: basic, life pace and astrology-related. RavenWolf's tone throughout is so filled with pep that readers will either be swept up into trying the many meditation exercises or run screaming from prose that's enthusiastic (!) to the point of intolerable. Beyond the chatty encouragement, RavenWolf provides an impressive selection of exercises specific to common places encountered daily (the shower, the car), times of day (in the morning or while watching the sunset) or the various planets. All of these drills are designed to improve health, self-esteem and a practitioner's overall outlook and approach to life. If readers can forgive the RavenWolf's syrupy tone, MindLight is, at the least, a thorough handbook of meditation techniques especially helpful in the area of slowing the ever-quickening pace of living in today's world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST on Quantum Physics & Magic!, August 19, 2007

I believe this is a good start if you are new to the world of quantum physics and using it in magic, and your magical practice will GREATLY benefit from this work. This book gives a good deal of recipees and how to's to really help get you started on the path and can give you knowledge that it takes many magical practitioners YEARS to learn.

I really enjoyed reading the stories and examples of how Silver put quantum physics to work for her and those around her. I feel that giving personal stories like this for people who are trying to wrap their hands around a system of magic really helps them understand some of the things it can do for them.

Using Quantum physics is something that some people really consider "new age fluff", however, if taken seriously, it can be a powerful system to work magic to affect your daily life and routine.

You see a lot of tid-bits including a Quantum Physics Healing ritual -- that you can use in a group setting, or by yourself and ideas on how to set up a working area for this type of magic, you will find meditations and exercises using Astrology, great personal stories that will help you become better at magic, recipees for various stuff -- like "black salt", herbal formulas, cleansing formulas and various working for manifestation! This book can help you achieve SUCCESS in your workings. I can't recommend this book enough!

Overall, an excellent book by an excellent author! Highly recommened.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book with different meditations, April 15, 2010

Because of the mixed reviews this book got and because I didn't want to spend $15 on a book I might not like (even though I like Silver Ravenwolf), I bought it used. I got it for $.75 plus shipping cost, so I saved $10 on it.

I don't agree with everything this book says, but I absolutely love the different meditations. I love meditation and being able to use my mind, therefore, this book is perfect for me.

Silver Ravenwolf means well, she would benefit with a ghost writer. She always has great fanfare, yet she cannot make her work fly. Like a good kite, it needs a long tail. Perhaps she should spend more time on her work. Llewellyn has a habit of aiming for a younger audience. The "Teen Witch" phenomenon has passed. These "witches" are adults now, she would benefit by speaking to them as such. Silver gets a little "preachy" at times. This happens to be one of those times. About a third of way through, I couldnt finish this. Therfore, my review is a little unfair. I periodically purchase her "book of the year".

She should take a break, quality not quantity should be her main goal. I understand this is not a goldmine market. Yet to be a good teacher is more important. All witches are important, none are the same! That is the whole point of the western tradition. Quantum physics are a springboard for all magic.
