Description

Receive direction, inspiration, and healing when you take the collar off a favorite animal's natural powers! Animal Magickis the first book to present familiars from a European Pagan viewpoint. It shows you how to access the unique power of familiars--real or imagined animals--for magickal assistance, enhanced health, and spiritual growth. You don't need a pet or companion animal to have a familiar. Whether you collect glass animals, dream about snakes, or "talk" with an animal already, you can further develop this connection for extraordinary magickal results. Animal Magickpresents practical meditations, rituals, and power chants for enticing, befriending, understanding, and collaborating with familiars. Learn ways to attract a familiar, explore various types of familiars and discover which one works best for you, and learn how to recognize messages and guidance from your magickal companion.… (more)

I have occasionally used this book as a resource, but mostly I find Conway's unwillingness to provide clear resources for her research, and her sometimes blatant historical, cultural, or animal behavioural incongruities to be a reflection of information that is - at times - made up conveniently.

As

far as 'animal dictionaries' go, however, you could do worse.

This could have been a better book, in my opinion. The reference sections are very well done, but the rest of the book is lacking in insightful content. Still, it wasn't bad, just incomplete as far as I felt.

This book is a fairly good book to get somewhat of a general idea of some ways that animal magick can be practiced, but it should not be the only book either. This book does have some factual errors, particularly in the second half of the book were an index of various animal are given with brief

descriptions on some facts, traits, myths, and such. Other then that the book does given some fairly descent brainstorming material and ideas on different ways to use animals in mediations, rituals, and so on.
