Incantations and Enchantments : The Power of the Voice and the Breath in Magic

The human voice is one of our most powerful and primal tools in magic, and now you can learn how to use it more effectively in your own practice. Esteemed magician Donald Tyson presents an advanced look at how to compose spoken charms and spells, enchant objects, use words and names of power, control the living breath, and more. Tyson walks you through three categories of incantations--healing, love, and protection--and he shares different types of spells within those categories. He shows you the inherent potency of vibrating words and vowels, providing numerous examples from historical texts and occult practice. You'll also learn about enchantments for herbs, potions, wands, and even people. From binding the wind through knot magic to using alliteration and repetition, this book balances scholarship and practical workings.
