Book Annotation: This book shows how to access the spiritual powers of familiars--real or imagined animals--for personal enrichment. Whether one collects glass animals, dreams about snakes, or "talks" with an animal already, ANIMAL MAGICK shows how to further develop this connection for startling magickal results.

Publisher Marketing: Animals in any form can be familiars -- living creatures you communicate with for the benefit of both of you. Be they real or imagined, animal familiars can forewarn you of danger, help you work magic, develop your psychic abilities, and heal. You don't have to be a witch to have a familiar, just a desire to work with an animal (even an astral creature) for personal gain.

Publisher Marketing: The animal world has much to teach us. Some animals are experts at survival and adaptation, some never get cancer, some embody strength and courage while others exude playfulness. Animals remind us of the potential we can unfold, but before we can learn from them, we must must first be able to speak with them.

Now, for perhaps the first time ever, myth and fact are combined in a manner that will teach you how to speak and understand the language of the animals in your life. Work with animals as totems and spirits. Learn techniques for reading signs and omens in nature so you can open to higher perceptions and even prophecy. Includes a dictionary of animal, bird, insect, and reptile symbolism.

Publishers Marketing:  After the publication of his best-selling book Power Animals, many people inquired about the meaning of spirit animals that were not contained in that work. In Animal Spirit Guides, Dr. Farmer provides concise, relevant details about the significance of more than 200 animals that may come to you in physical or symbolic form as guides and teachers. With each animal listed, you'll find general meanings of the visitation; practical ways that they can help you as spirit guides; and how, as your power animal, they reflect characteristics that you possess. You'll also find a "whom-to-call-on" section that will tell you which animal spirit guide to call on for any specific purpose.
