I will get into the basics of essential oils, herbs, crystals to help you get started.

This book is not written to convince you to join Wicca; it is to help you learn about this nature-based religion and maybe spark some new ideas in yourself.

In my second book, you are going to learn a great deal more than I was able to explain in my first book, On Your Wiccan Way. In this book, On Your Magickal Way, you will learn more about the ways to incorporate magick further into your daily life. First, let me explain what true magick is. It is NOT the stuff you find in supernatural television shows or in paranormal books. True and real magick is using the energy of surrounding elements and your own energy in the effort of creating a change in your life. You might also be wondering why I have added the "k" in the word "magick". This is to differentiate real magick from the illusions that you see in magic shows or on television. What we do is completely natural and the way that we use herbs, oils, stones is based off of information that has been taught and in many instances, relearned about, for centuries. You will find that many of the ways herbs and oils are used in healing, for instance, have a great deal of understanding in the scientific community. Of course, if we use an herb or oil on ourselves, either by eating, drinking or applying the essential oil version of an herb to the skin or breathing it in, we are using that herb's natural healing properties. Most herbs and oils also have what we call "magickal properties" and these are more subjective to a degree; however, they still bring around REAL results and that is what is most important. This is what we will be working on in this book. You will learn how to use herbs, essential oils, crystals and candles in your everyday workings .You will learn how to choose the best time for spell work, how to create and activate your own sigils as well as dipping into cord magick. You will be surprised by how much you can do without going all out with fancy tools, ingredients. Spells are not done all of the time. In fact, in the past five years, I have only cast two or three spells. Most of what I do magickally is much more mundane. Things such as making sachets, sending healing energy to those in need, placing a stone or crystal on someone to heal them, including my own pets. Using foods and herbs to help heal and create change. I use aromatherapy to heal my loved ones as well as myself and I also use essential oils and herbs to create healing applications. These are the kinds of things you will be learning about in my second book and much more! As in my first book, I will also share a few of my personal experiences and stories along the way so I think you are in for an informational and fun ride!

Primarily an account of the agreements which have been reached in the international telecommunications community on standards for the design and operation of transmission networks based on the synchronous transmission philosophy, first called SONET, which is now a subset of SDH, the synchronous digital hierarchy. Avoids descriptions of actual equipment and deployment plans, which are shrouded in commercial secrecy, notoriously ephemeral, and not very good reading anyway, to focus on basic features and generic features. Also slips in some opinions and speculations about the future. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
