From the Publisher

Who has not dreamed of possessing amazing powers - powers to move objects without physically touching them, to see at a distance or into the future, to know the thoughts of another person, to read the past of an object or person, or to find water or mineral wealth?

In Practical Guide to Psychic Powers by Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips, you will discover that these abilities are natural to everyone. They are not a fantasy. They are real and a part of your total mind/body/soul/spirit not usually experienced, because our modern life-style has repressed their natural development. Now you can counter that repression and manifest them in their fullest by using the techniques in this book.

First, read Practical Guide to Psychic Powers thoroughly to gain an overall view of the material covered and the general plan of development. Then start your psychic development, using the methods in this book. You will not only develop your psychic abilities, but you will improve your relationship with others and the world around you. This book is a must.

About the Author

Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips are internationally-recognized authorities on the mainstream Western Mysteries and are two of the foremost exponents of the Ogdoadic Tradition, that premier hermetic school whose keywords are knowledge and regeneration, and whose influence and works are historically traceable for the past one thousand years.

The authors received their major esoteric training in the magical order Aurum Solis, a society which was founded in 1897 and which has continued in active existence to the present day. On July 8, 1987, the authors, then heads of Aurum Solis, retired from the Order; but on June 23, 1988, at the unanimous request of the members, they resumed office.

This review is from: Practical Guide to Psychic Powers: Awaken Your Sixth Sense (Practical Guide Series) (Paperback)

This book by the two great masters of the Ogdoadic Tradition of Western Magick claims that psychic abilities are natural to all people, that they are nor fantasy but a real and dynamic aspect of one's total body, mind, soul and spirit. These powers are not limited to special individuals although it may hold rue that that the lifestyle, dietary and exercise habits, meditations and love of life in certain people are indeed conducive to the development of these powers.

Some people are born with a greater inclination or natural talent in a certain direction but all of us can develop most of the vast range of powers and abilities that have always been part of the heritage of the human race. This is particularly true of the powers of the mind, since they have their roots in the instinctive-emotional level of the psyche that is the most ancient and fundamental part of our evolutionary heritage.

The book is a practical guide that includes checkpoint exercises at the end of each chapter. The chapters are: 1. Inspiration and Equipment; 2. Exploring Your Potential; 3. Psychic Abilities And Mechanisms; 4. Insight And Foreknowledge; 5. Astral Imprints; 6. The Spiritualist Approach; 7. A Search In Two Worlds. Appendix A deals with ESP testing, record sheets and keeping a log book, whilst Appendix B provides the Tabor Formulation, a meditation for use at the beginning of psychic development sessions. There is also a glossary of terms.

Black and white illustrations of pendulums, shapes used for ESP cards, vision mirrors and the method of using angle rods in dowsing, enhance the text. This is a simple, practical and easy-to-use guide. I also recommend Awakening Your Psychic Powers: Open Your Inner Mind And Control Your Psychic Intuition Today by Henry Reed, and for more information on the Ogdoadic tradition of art magic, the book Ogdoadic Magick by Norman R. Kraft.
