Product Description

Product Description

Unicorns, centaurs, mad dogs and hell hounds. In records and carvings thousands of years ago, we find the first mention of strange, fabulous beasts. Were they ever real animals in the physical world? Do they exist? This text provides a who's who of mystical creatures, their history and how ancient magicians knew the esoteric meanings of these beings and called upon them for their aid. Short chapters on candle burning, ritual, amulets and talisman show modern day magicians how to work with these creatures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, fascinating, amazing!, May 28 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Magickal, Mythical, Mystical Beasts: How to Invite Them Into Your Life (Paperback)
I have always been fascinated with mystical creatures, but unfortunately very few intelligent books have been written about them. I'm glad to say this book is great! It covers a lot of ground, offering information for each creature, and also advice for working with them.

Conway begins with an introduction to the concept of mythical beasts, and a general overview of working with them. The book is then divided into sections for each type of creature, as follows: Unicorns, Flying Horses, Centaurs, Satyrs and Fauns, Gigantic Birds, Human-Birds, Griffins, Mystical Bulls, Fabulous Lions, Magickal Serpents, Sphinxes, Hell Hounds, Water-folk, Creatures of the Stony Stare, Gargoyles, and other creatures. Each chapter has many different types of creatures that fall under that heading, such as Woodwose under "Centaurs", and Nixies under "water-folk". For each creature a description, area, origin, and folklore are given, followed by psychological attributes and magickal attributes. The many illustrations are delightful and detailed. The final part of the book deals with working with magick, and covers candle burning, amulets and talismans, and rituals. These chapters are brief, but Conway gets right to the point.

In the "Rituals" section, she offers three different quarter calls and dismissals, for the Archangels, Lords and Ladies, and the Elemental Kings.A wonderful book that anyone interesting in magick or mystical beasts can enjoy greatly. Even if you are not into magick or paganism, you can still delight in reading about the folklore and legends about these magickal mythical mystical beasts.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting, light read, Aug 29 2001
By "nightblaze" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Magickal, Mythical, Mystical Beasts: How to Invite Them Into Your Life (Paperback)
All my life I have been interested in magickal beasts and faerys. This book has some information and parts are quite interesting, but on the whole, I would go for a more informative and engaing book. A wonderful book that is quite similar to this one is A Witches Guide to the Faery Folk. This book is more complete but if its information on unicorns and centaurs that you are looking for, Magickal, Mythical, Mystical Beasts will do nicely.
