Practice of Magic : An Introductory Guide to the Art

A practical guide to folk magic and everyday occult practice by a respected teacher of Western esoteric traditions. Drawing on decades of experience, Draja Mickaharic presents magic as a disciplined, workable craft rather than abstract theory. He outlines simple rituals, methods for focusing intention, the use of basic tools and materials, and the importance of timing, preparation, and ethical responsibility. Emphasizing clarity and practicality, he shows how consistent, methodical work can produce meaningful results without elaborate ceremony. Clear and accessible, this volume will appeal to readers interested in traditional magic, self-directed spiritual practice, and hands-on techniques rooted in lived experience rather than fantasy.
