Book Description

January 1, 1994
Animal "familiars" are more than just the cats kept by witches -- the animal spirit is an extension of the unconscious mind, which reveals its power to those who seek its help. With the detailed rituals, meditations, exercises and journaling space provided in this workbook, you will tap into a Northern European shamanic means of invoking personal and spiritual familiar animals to aid magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! This book opens up your innate power. VERY Cool., March 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Once Unknown Familiar: Shamanic Paths to Unleash Your Animal Powers (Paperback)
This is the best book I've read on animal spirits and working with animals as links to power. I've read a couple of other titles that are out there and they were too nonsensical. This seemed pretty down to earth and easy to read. If you've ever wondered what your animal spirit is, this is the best book for discovering it. I highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better stuff is out there, November 13, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Once Unknown Familiar: Shamanic Paths to Unleash Your Animal Powers (Paperback)
While I do like the book and find it to be a useful reference, it is the LEAST useful of the books that I have that focus on animal magick. It offers very little information on each animal and has a small list of animals. In addition, my hackles raised when I read his spell for attracting a love -- he said that the spellcaster should visualize his/her love coming toward him/her! This is in complete opposition to "free will". I'm not a fluffy-bunny/ white-lighter -- more like a medium-light grey -- but I still find this immoral.

If you are really into animal and familiar magick, and have a little extra money to spend, go ahead and get this book. But if you're looking for one, good, solid book on this subject, look elsewhere -- e.g. Ted Andrews' _Animal-Speak_.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent workbook, June 1, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Once Unknown Familiar: Shamanic Paths to Unleash Your Animal Powers (Paperback)
excellent workbook on animal magick. Although I have seen other books on the subject, this ones seems the best at stepping the iniate through learning about the animals in their lives. Covers both theory (dispelling myths and history) as well as practical how to. Well worth the money for anyone looking to unleash their animal side
