The witching hour…that moment when every fiber of your being says, “This is the time to do the magick…the ritual…the enchantment for what I need!” It is a feeling like no other; perhaps your hands tingle, there is a quickening in the heart, a shiver in the shoulders. It could be dawn, a misty twilight, or the deepest, darkest inky night. It is a time when all of your being urges you to get up, get moving, and get working! Confidence that you can easily step from the problem at hand to the success that you desire seethes around you. And you know, to the depths of your soul, it is time for magick: the moment your power has matured.
Your witching hour.
Will you forge ahead? Follow your instincts? Flow with the universe to achieve?
Will you be brave?
Will you be clear of mind?
Will you take the risk of change?
Will you throw the golden lasso of accomplishment and draw your success to you?
Will you believe?
This book you hold in your hands is the result of the purest, most honest, most dedicated collection of interesting secrets of the magickal arts. It has been nine years since my last book and much has transpired in my life—some of it so marvelous I can’t even begin to express my delight, and some so dark that the pain was almost too much to bear. I spent many of those years learning, studying, trying to grow as a person and as an author. My goal in my writing career has always been to gather experience, assimilate, learn, create, and develop a clearer, stronger platform for success for all. I kept that goal in spirit, whether I was able to write or not through these many years. I felt that I could not give you a book without giving you good, solid techniques to use, and for that I had to practice, practice, practice.
Some saw my drawing back from publishing as a weakness.
Some gossiped that I had no more to give my brothers and sisters.
During this time I realized something very important: who had the magick…and who didn’t.
Words tell you much, if you observe.
Break out of the box, my little muse said.
Break out of the mold, whispered my mind.
Rise above. Think differently! Find the way! See the future!
My focus is always on the reader, my partner, my friend. My words are links between us as we raise each other up, as we try to walk the high road, as we try to succeed together. This is not a book of “let’s throw something together to make a sale.”
No. No. No.
This is a book of magickal power, sweat, tears, and triumphs—nine glorious years of it.
No matter what is going on in your life right now, I am here to tell you that there is a lot of power on this side of the grass. You just have to reach out, acknowledge that power, have confidence, and use it.
It isn’t difficult.
It isn’t so mystical that you can’t comprehend it.
It isn’t a secret just for the few.
Have faith in yourself! Conjure it!
I did, and so can you.
