5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamentals of psychic cleansing and protection June 29, 1998

By April M. Love

Format:Paperback

This small, but valuable book is a formulary for the cleansing and protection of the body, your animals, and the environment in your house and office. He discusses the magical properties of the different types of water, herbs, herbal combinations, and tools, such as eggs and mothballs, which can be used to remove negative energies and establish energy screens for psychic protection. Included are spells and other formulas that you can use to focus your intent to increase positivity and abundance in your life and surroundings. Included are recipes for baths, incense mixtures, and floor washes. This may be the only book to my knowledge that collects this type of information in one place. I have used many of the procedures myself. For example, I used the "egg procedure" (where you rub an egg all over the body of your pet, and then flush the uncracked egg down the toilet) to remove negative "vibes" from my cats to lighten up their attitudes about a new home to which we had moved). I found the principles of cleansing and protection for the various methods described by the author to be both easy to do and quite effective in their results. Mickaharic does emphasize repeatedly throughout the book, that it is *not* wise to improvise any of the methods and components (such as herbs) described in the book, without completely understanding the magical implications, meanings and intent of each part of the spell. It is my guess that the author is from Eastern Europe based on his knowledge of traditional herbal floor washes and fumigation recipes to keep one's home environment psychically purified.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Effective... but read critically June 26, 2007

By Devi Spring

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I love this book and have bought it for many of my friends and relatives!

It is written to be used by those who have no formal spiritual or magickal training, giving them a spiritual first-aid kit based in many time honored folk-remedies from around the world for many common experiences and situations that one may find themselves faced with that result in various kinds of discomfort and unease. Those who suspect they have a problems on their hands from an energetic or spiritual source can easily use the methods outlined.

Those more experienced practitioners who read this book, however, may find some aspects of it that may well wrankle. For instance there are several herbal entries in which very little information is given outside of one particular perspective on its usage - that is that one can use it to help quelch the desire to change their religious affiliation.

While leaving one's faith for another should never been taken lightly, I feel the implied message that doing so is a bad thing to be annoying and arrogant. I was miserable in the faith of my birth, and finding my way out and into a path that was suited for me is one of the best desicions I've ever made. Since many mainstream faiths already program their followers to be fearful of other paths, leaving can be hard enough without some book further implying that wishing to do so is a condition that one should try to "cure".

That being said, besides that and a few other blurbs that made my blood boil, I highly recommend this text as one that presents many simple methods of effectively cleansing one's self and environment of unwanted spiritual energies.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must have January 14, 2003

By Joseph B Wilson

Format:Paperback

Those who think magic is nothing more than psychology, visualization, symbolism, and going through theatrics will probably not care for this no-nonsense practical guide to generic folk-magic cleansing and protection practices. Those who recognize the real ancient techniques and natural laws of sympathetic and contageous magic will find this to be a treasure trove of information and help.
