Reiki is an ancient practice of acknowledging and working with the universal life force to promote physical healing and spiritual exploration. Experienced Wiccan author and teacher Christopher Penczak pre-sents Magick Of Reiki, an in-depth exploration of the history, mythos, variations, and degrees of Reiki, as well as tips, tricks, and techniques for seamlessly integrating Reiki into magickal practice, psychic development, talisman empowerment, and more. Though many traditional Reiki practitioners would not consider it a magickal art, those who follow the path of magick can only imbue greater strength in their work by drawing upon the nigh-limitless energy of all surrounding life. Clear symbols and diagrams, with explicit instructions in how to draw them exactly as they have been used for countless centuries, enhance the straightforward text that walks the reader through basic, intermediate, and some advanced techniques that channel Reiki to one's advantage. An excellent addition to magickal libraries and Metaphysical Studies supplemental reading lists.
