Modern Magick:  Eleven Lessons in the High Magickal Arts

by Donald Michael Kraig

Buy now on Amazon.com

This is the best book on the fundamentals of magic.  It explains the core practices and rituals of protective and energetic magic in great depth. I would recommend this level of  magic be known by healers.  Especially if they are dealing with more difficult cases.

Ritual magic provides extra focus and allows us to tap into particular energies.  Unfortunately many people get themselves in serious trouble with magic because of naivity, selfishness or ego. Understanding protective magic can help those who have taken a wrong turn.  But remember magic is just working with energy and consciousness.  Everyone on this planet is doing magic every day as they wish people well or ill.  

Few people are aware how important it is to control their thoughts and emotions about others.  Our thoughs have a Dramatic impact on other peoples health. All it takes is one angry person in a patients life to cause them serious illness. Yet another reason for a healer to have these skills in their daily tool box for self and others.  -Violetsky

Initiation Into Hermetics

by Franz Bardon

Buy now on Amazon.com

This is the tried and true foundation book for Hermetics.  It provides powerful practices that teach  through experience how to work with the elements.  This book requires dedication to the exercises.  Do not buy it if you are looking to just read and not rigorously train mentally and even physically.  It is a book on discipline - definitely a requirement for any one serious in the art of magic.

My interest in this book was to improve my healing skills through understanding the elements.  Elemental magic is commonly used in many of the healing techniques today.  Though this is rarely stated outright.  Many healers want to avoid any association with magic.  But magic is a disciplined method for working with energy and consciousness - precisely what a healer needs to learn.

As we read more modern books like Masaru Emotos book "The Hidden Messages in Water" we come to understand why water plays such an important role in Hermetics.  Embuing energy into water to create powerful healing elixers seems less hocus pocus now.  -Violetsky
