This is an excellent book to read whether you're an adept at magic or just starting out. Pickands does an excellent job of explaining the concepts involved in psychic self-defense in a coherent voice. She nicely avoids the drama that seems to come with so many of these books and gets to the point, which is that psychic self-defense isn't about picking fights, it's about knowing how to avoid them, and get out of them if you get stuck in one. Perhaps what I like the most about this book is the seamless blending of ceremonial magic with energy work. Neither approach is overly emphasized, but both approaches are recognized and explained in enough detail that a beginner will understand the ideas, and an adept will get a different perspective on how to defend him/herself. The exercises in the book are easy to do and a lot of fun. Once you start them with a partner you may find it hard not to experiment with them. An added bonus is also the publication, in this book, of some of William G. Gray's unpublished ceremonial magic rituals. Readers will find these rituals intriguing, but a word of warning...embark on these rituals and make sure you follow through. Gray always did a thorough job of doing his magic, not just writing about it, and that's what he'd expect from anyone who'd start on his workings. Finally Pickands includes an appendix with journal note sheets, useful for noting the experiment and results. You can't lose in picking up this book. You will certainly learn something, regardless of what experience lever you're at. I'd give this book five stars.

fantastic

This author comes from a martial artist background. And as such she is very concerned about self defense in all aspects.She avoids filling her book up with long boring essays and thoughts about metaphysics and the like. Instead she utilizes many different exercises that she has the reader try out. The exercises themselves are very potent and they work, they are easily laid out and explained.This book is far beyond other psychic defense books.

A must get.

Incredible. She handles the bacics of Psychic Self Defense very well. Well written, easy to follow, easy to do. A must get for beginners in the occult, healers, martial artists, and is a great adjunct to the study of Educational Kinesiology.
