The Art of Magic Words
The Art of Magic Words
Author: Llysse Smith Wylle
Publisher: GroundMark Press
Category: spellbook, spell book, writing spells Level: All
 "This delightful introduction to the composition of New-Age Wiccan Spell Poetry takes the reader through the whole process of making a piece of rhyme that works, and it also includes a Grimoire of spell poems by the author."
~Peter J. Carroll, Past Grandmaster, Illuminates of Thanateros
"The Art of Magic Words fills an important gap in the bookshelf of the beginning liturgist, connecting the mechanics that may only be dimly remembered from school to the practice and discipline of Pagan ritual. This slim volume contains a wealth of experience from a practiced and passionate wordsmith."
~Dr. Brent Neal, Triad of Leadership, Universal Eclectic Wicca
"Rather than simply advising readers to consider composing magickal prose as part of their Craft, the author encourages personal experimentation by providing lucid, step-by-step examples of her own creative process. The extensive included Grimoire reveals lyrical verse as a powerful and elegant tool for focusing intent and achieving magickal gnosis. A rich selection of spell-poems ranging from the pragmatic to the celebratory and visionary will inspire readers to explore the techniques herein and experiment with the possibilities for themselves."
~Al Hogar, Mystic and Magus, Order of the Golden Breath
Marketing description of the book:
The Art of Magic Words explains why verse is so appropriate for casting magic: not only are sounds and rhythm conducive to achieving the right state of mind to work magic, but the meaning of the words can help to move you to another state of consciousness, a dream-state in which all is possible. "Having a spell," the author suggests, is a more accurate way to think of it than "casting a spell."
This book will be a solid addition to your occult library, and will especially appeal to you if you're interested in developing spells for your personal or for your coven's Book of Shadows. Not only are ready spells provided in a Grimoire section, but four instructional chapters show how to master the art of spell-poem composition for yourself.
Plus, because the Grimoire section of the book is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License rather than a traditional copyright, with proper attribution the spells herein can be non-commercially published, republished on your Website or in your Book of Shadows, modified and published yet again in order to encourage creativity in the spell casting community.
This is a tool you can truly use in your spell book--a gift to the community!
Author's Notes: Llysse Smith Wylle has been Pagan for many years and Wiccan for seven. She is a member of the Third Circle of the Tradition of Universal Eclectic Wicca; she also teaches and coordinates its First Circle degree via the Coven of the Far Flung Net. For a number of years, she has studied Chaos and other magical techniques privately, as well as with a small esoteric study society called the Order of the Golden Breath.
In addition to teaching online, Ms. Wylle has also been a teacher of English at an elite private school in China. Her experiences as a writer are wide-ranging, as well: she’s worked professionally as a journalist, an editor, a communications director, a PR manager and an online communications manager. Plus, for nearly as long as she could hold a pencil, Ms. Wylle has written poetry. That passion continues today, even if she has exchanged the worn pencil for a shiny laptop.
Ms. Wylle lives in a ridge top cottage with her husband and a menagerie of chickens, cats, goats, fish and budgies, as well as a rotating cast of sick and injured wild creatures that she directs to the care of animal rehabilitation specialists.
