Incantations and Enchantments: The Power of the Voice and the Breath in Magic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780738777191)

Vocalize the Spiritual Energy of Breath for Potent Magic

Cultures around the world and throughout history recognize the human breath as the seat of spirit. The chi of the Chinese, the ruach of the Hebrews, the pneuma of the Greeks, and the spiritus of the Romans refer to the same thing--the invisible energy that permeates the breath. Now, with this book's in-depth look, you can maximize the potential of this energy in your magic.

Esteemed magician Donald Tyson presents an advanced look at how to compose your own incantations, use words and names of power, control the living breath, and more. He shows you the inherent potency of vibrating words and vowels, providing numerous examples from historical texts and occult practice.

Tyson presents a wide variety of spells for healing, love, and protection. He also shares enchantments for herbs, potions, wands, and even people. From binding the wind through knot magic to using alliteration and repetition, this book balances scholarship and practical workings so you can maximize the potential of breath and voice in your practice.
