The Silva Method for Magicians

This is not a book of theory, this is a practical book of exercises for those that would rather do magick that merely theorize about it. The author acknowleges that all magick takes place in an altered state of consciousness (in the alpha and theta brainwave range) and gives exercises to enter and anchor these meditative states of consciousness. The key to getting into and maintaining these states of consciousness is practice, practice, practice. In my experience, any magician who fails to learn the basics of self-hypnosis and meditation prior to working with more advanced techniques is setting themselves up for failure and disappointment. This book will give the reader a practical set of tools that actually work and just as Jose Silva did years ago to the self-improvement/mind-power genre with his famous Silva Method, Jason Newcomb brings a practical and modernizing approach to magick that allows even traditionalists to benefit from a modern understanding of the way the mind works. Couple this book with a good book on self hypnosis (such the original Silva Method or the Secrets of Self Hypnosis by Adam Eason) and meditation and the reader will have a firm foundation for their inner work that will benefit them vastly more than a library of pop new-age fluff such as the Abraham Material and the countless Secret spin-offs that are basically a mile wide and an inch deep.

One of its kind and im serious

All I can say is, this book gets right to the point. Very little talk and alot more walk. I loved it and all I can say is.......it's about time someone wrote a book like this.

Simple, subtle, ultimately profound.

I was quite the cynic when I first got this book. Everyone in the "New Age" movement seem to bring out books on magick that will change your life in three easy steps. Yet, after reading and re-reading this book and, more importantly, using the exercises as suggested I came to the conclusion that Jason is the real deal. Although he offers simplified versions of ancient magickal formulae he in no way becomes simplistic. If you are tired of medieval grimoires steeped in outdated mythologies "The Book of Magick Power" might just be the breath of fresh air your postmodern mind has been craving for. The book is dense with practical methods for discovering the magick that exists within you. Highly recommended!

Practical and to the point

Another excellent book by Mr. Newcomb that truly has the potential to help one change his or her life in profound ways! This book does a very good job of taking arcane concepts that various other authors have often written about in cryptic and confusing ways and distilling them down to their primary essences so that they become incredibly easy to understand and put into practical use. For anyone who is interested in taking the first step from armchair magician toward practicing adept, this book, along with Mr. Newcomb's The New Hermetics: 21st Century Magick for Illumination and Power are must haves!

Comprehensive Practical Exercises

Looking for a book on philosophy behind magic? Don't look here. That's not to say there's no philosophy at all in "The Book of Magic Power," but it's chock full of real exercises that you can do for a variety of purposes (unlike many so-called practical magic books). Jason's writing style is fluid and easy to read as usual (I have a total of four books by him), and I feel this book is his best work to date. I picked up this book through a friend at a mystery conference and even got Jason's signature about 2 weeks ago. Since that time I've gone through a number of the exercises and am impressed at the depth that is managed in such a short number of pages. Pick this up if you want to DO the Work, not just read about it.
