“Real Magic for Writers” by Lisa Jacob

Magick Matters

"Magic is real. It’s real in the sense that energy is real. This is energy that can be summoned and controlled by anyone who has the will or desire to make things happen. Magic can be as coincidental as avoiding an accident by taking a different way home; or as sudden as a windfall of money when your car is running on fumes and you need gas to get to work.

Magick Matters

An encounter with the Green Man at an ancient Herefordshire church in the wake of catastrophic weather leads Nina Lyon into an exploration of how the foliate heads of Norman stonemasons have evolved into today's cult symbols.

Against a shifting backdrop of mountains, forests, rivers and stone circles, a cult of the...>>
