Great beiginner book

This is a great book for the beginner rather child or adult. It is very simply written and includes a few ideas to get you started down the path. I bought this book for my 11 year old. I am a huge fan of Ted Andrews and own many of his books. I have met him in person and I found him to be a very knowlagable and friendly man willing to share his vast knowlage. Please check out his other books.

I Believe!

What an amazing series for anyone no matter what age you are! Explanations and exercises are easy to follow. I especially like the section for parents. Many methods to develop spiritual awareness can be intimidating. This book explains methods so that anyone can understand them and alleviate fears.

A great course of study for young and old

The Magic of Believing is a great course of magical study for young adults (and the young at heart). It is not dogmatic and has no affiliation with any religion/spirituality, making it useful for people of any belief system. The only exception to this; a couple of times he mentions "God." Being a Druid, I was a little turned off by this, but the book is so fantastic, that it was easy to overlook. The lessons covered: 1) Do You Believe in Magic? 2) The Magic Wand 3) Make a Wish 4) Stirring Your Psychic Powers 5) Weaving a Little Glamour 6) Creating the Magical Life 7) Precautions and Protections Editing mistakes are rampant. However, this is also easy to overlook, since the book is otherwise so excellent. Each lesson is very readable, practical and fun, with exercises that are easy to follow and enact. The Magic of Believing teaches our youth to believe in themselves, develop inner strength and bring creativity into everyday life. It's a rewarding read for adults as well; Andrews has much to teach. I recommend this book to anyone on a path of self-realization.

Wonderful book...fills a real need in magical literature!

Popular author Ted Andrews' latest book is the first installment in Dragonhawk Publishing's 10 volume Young Person's School of Magic & Mystery series, which is intended for older children. This unique course of study for young people teaches magic as a natural part ofthe human experience to lay a foundation for living a magical life. In MAGIC OF BELIEVING Andrews guides readers through seven lessons that teach about the power of beliefs, making wishes come true, stirring psychic powers, creating a magical life, precautions and protections, developing intuition and more, with specific practices to learn and enhance skills. He explains uses of candles, incense, and oils and emphasizes meditative visualization. Andrews writes in a style that makes learning fun. Handy charts are included that list the properties of candles, colors, fragrances, flowers and trees. A glossary defines magical terms. MAGIC OF BELIEVING is a wonderful book for young people and so fills a real need in magical literature! I have been asked many times to suggest magic books specifically for teens. Additionally, at the end of each lesson there are suggestions for parents - ideas for activities that parents and children can do together to relate to that chapter's lesson. The second book in the series is DREAMTIME MAGIC by Pagyn Alexander and future installments will include FAERIE CHARMS, STAR MAGIC and ANCIENT POWERS. Some of these upcoming books will be written by Andrews. I look forward to them all! Andrews is the author of numerous books, including ANIMAL-SPEAK and ANIMAL-WISE. Pairing MAGIC OF BELIEVING with these popular titles will attract attention and encourage sales.
