READERS WANT TO KNOW

What advice would Maia give to people just beginning their journey into the magical and mystical?

Trust yourself.

While the work appears to be outward facing, ultimately, it’s inward facing. In order to be a clear channel for energy, you have to keep clearing your own energies, including your feelings and thoughts. This essentially makes walking a mystical path quite similar to working with a Jungian therapist. When you get to know yourself and your own inner-worlds of thought and emotion intimately, you’ll begin to trust yourself and your own intuition.

What books do you suggest for those beginning a magical path?

Ruminating on a ritual and letting it percolate within you begins to energize your ideas. So Maia focuses on books which activate intuition and creativity rather than books on craft, ritual, or spells.

The books below had an impact at the beginning of Maia’s journey. They didn’t tell her what to do necessarily, but they got her thinking in new directions. Note that these are all older books and haven’t been revisited lately to see how they hold up to modern sensibilities!

 

  • The Twelve Wild Swans by Starhawk
  • Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler
  • Herbal Rituals by Judith Berger
  • The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
  • Barefoot on Holy Ground by Gloria Karpinski
  • Owning Your Own Shadow by Robert Johnson
  • Story by Robert McKee
How did you end up an apprentice to a traditional healer in Ireland?

Will there be a Crystallary or Companion Collectible Box Set?

This is a publisher’s decision and as of now Storey Publishing is not planning on it.
