quick warning on this one that neuroscience moves fast and so take the science stuff with a grain of salt. For example, the book talks about mirror neurons, which were the hot new thing when it was published. Since them the evidence has weakened considerably and they now stand on pretty shaky ground. However that doesn't mean the techniques in the book aren't good - we do, obviously, unconsciously pick up on other people's behaviour and mood, it's just probably not caused by mirror neurons (which probably don't exist)
(Like how we now know the left brain / right brain thing is a myth, but it can still be a useful metaphor and shorthand)
How powerful, seductive, or mythical would you like your life to be? The ultimate goal of invocation is to infuse your life with more excitement, purpose, and passion. Recent discoveries in neuroscience suggest that the magical practices of evocation and invocation are based in natural brain functions - this book is the first to present a theory of magick based on the new research. Brain Magick is packed full of exercises (more than 70) that illustrate the principles of neuroscience and magick, and has everything you need to quickly develop skill in the art of invocation. This easily practiced form of ritual technology is appropriate for complete novices and magical adepts alike. If you are familiar with any kind of magick - Wiccan, Thelemic, Golden Dawn, Goetic, Chaos, or Hermetic - this book will provide opportunities to consider your practice in a new light, and take your magical experiences to a new level. Even if you've never practiced any magick before, you'll be able to start immediately.
Praise: "Farber begins by asking, 'How much do you want your own story to rock?' then with an exuberant 'Woohoo' proceeds to hand us sane and practical tools and exercises to become a true superstar in the only world that really matters ... our own brain. Powerfully provocative and original." - Lon Milo DuQuette, author of Low Magick and My Life with the Spirits
"All real magick requires both dedication and skill, here Phil Farber delivers both. This is a guide to tapping into living magistery of the universe." - Richard Bandler, co-founder of NLP
