I just wanted to thank you for this channel. I was also an atheist-turned-Christian who now is very interested in angel magic and you have been indispensable in my learning.
wow I want to thank you for bringing up Aphantasia. i had no idea i had it until about a year ago. as an former professional dancer and instructor for over 30 years and not previously knowing about this, i guess i relied on my other senses to capture the imagination, feeling and emotion of the art. I looked into aphantasia further i've discovered so many other artist have it. When i do my rituals i try to get my mind to feel it because i can't see it, and i've discovered the result is the same and just as powerful. thank you again for bring it up!!!
I added this to my wishlist just a couple days ago. I haven't read Psychic Witch, I'm kind of on the fence about it simply because a lot of the stuff he seems to cover I have access to in several other books (Condensed Chaos, Hands On Chaos Magick, the Golden Dawn self initiation course by the Ciceros etc.) This one got me excited reading the table of contents and the fact there are spells that need no visualization just brought it up to the top of my wish list
Psychic witch is worth a read, although you might know most of it from ither books. As the important thing is often how the things are discribed and not what. I tead loads of esotetic stuff. This one turned to be one of my favourites to recomnend anybody.
oh as SOON as i heard that aphantasia bit i was SOLD! it's not i don't have a "mind's eye", but i feel my ability to visualize and hold that visualization is diminished, making spellwork difficult at points. i can't wait to see his workarounds!
I was just debating whether or not to buy this book last night so this is perfect timing! I'm glad I got to see some of the contents. I think I'll have to add this to my cart now. I have to admit that I was hesitant to get Psychic Witch but it ended up being a really excellent book.
Awesome video! I love the book. Great job, and even though not written for my specific tradition, it offered easy and respectful ways of adapting it. At any rate awesome video, and great book.
Hi, dear Fish! I haven't had the opportunity to read Matt Auryn's books yet, but I'm even more curious now, after your review of his second book. The inclusiveness aspect also catches my attention, especially about everything you said about people who have aphantasia. For all I know, it is almost inevitable to resort to at least some degree of visualization (even a low one), so I suppose Auryn seems to have achieved quite a deed there! PAX!
I'd personally be a little reluctant with this book. I don't really care for magick with new agey influence, which some of the items in the table of contents sounded very, very new agey. Like, to me you don't need a "spell to open the third eye." But that's just my approach to magick. I did see a section dedicated to the Hermetic principles so I'm hoping it still has some traditional influence.
I think that if you are already happily established in a tradition this is really going to be a "pick out a few nice tips" kind of thing, not a wholesale embrace :)
Thanks for including the content pages. I would like to order this book but have to ask a question first. I had ordered another magic book in the past and it had a section on sacrifices, as an animal lover and a green witch I was absolutely horrified to read this and immediately returned the book. Please tell me there is nothing like that in this book?!
Would you say Mastering Magick is good for someone starting out in their magickal journey or is it essential to start off with Psychic Witch? Sorta drawn to Mastering Magick for whatever reason.
It's likely that if you get one you'll want to eventually read the other, but I wouldn't say there's a particular order for them, they just cover different ground :)
I like his work but its so hard to take it seriously when the forward has been written by someone who has taken it upon themselves to rename themselves 'Silver Ravenwolf'. For goodness sake. Its never beige Otter, off white froglet, transluscent worm or spotted ameoba is it? Its always some godawful throttling of new age tropes people use to lend themselves a mystic that no one is really fooled by. You see this a lot in the new agey community and, sorry, but I think its laughable and here dimishes an otherwise excellent edition. I can just cant take that forward seriously.
Or, for another example, a Foolish Fish? For many Millennials, including myself, Silver Ravenwolf was the gateway into witchcraft and paganism in the modern world.

I know this video is about my books but I agree with the reviewers. Benebell’s work is pretty amazing and worth checking out.
Also thank you so much again!
Superb work, Mat! Thank you for enriching the space! 😄🙏
Thanks @@FoolishFishBooks 🥰 now binging & loving @MatAuryn interviews!!
Will your book help me get a girlfriend or two?
I just wanted to thank you for this channel. I was also an atheist-turned-Christian who now is very interested in angel magic and you have been indispensable in my learning.
I'm so glad to be able to help! :D

I'm so glad he includes people with aphantasia. I've felt like it's my biggest road block is the fact that I do not visualize

Mat Auryn was on Circle Sanctuary podcast last week on Circle Talk. He did a fantastic interview. He really was delightful to listen to.
i genuinely thought I had aphantasia for a long time and it turns out I do not. I think practice with intent is a factor in visualization
Very interesting... Thank you for sharing!
@@FoolishFishBooks I should say It is a challenge for me but there is noticeable improvement
Writing things down seems to help more than reciting sometimes.
oh as SOON as i heard that aphantasia bit i was SOLD! it's not i don't have a "mind's eye", but i feel my ability to visualize and hold that visualization is diminished, making spellwork difficult at points. i can't wait to see his workarounds!
Always great picks for reviews. Thanks as usual
THank you so much, Vince! That's very kind indeed!
Hi
Have you reviewed any of Benebell wens books?
Recently discovered your channel and loving it!
Not yet :)
I was today years old when I found out about aphantasia! I guess you really do learn something new everyday lol.
I wish I had so much energy and creativity as Benebell. She is amazing! I have her tarot deck.
Thank you for this review! I can't wait to read this!

Anything Benebell puts her energy into I'm down to read
I second this!!
A couple of hours and mine should arrive in the post
I still have all my old Cunningham's series books.
Awesome video! I love the book. Great job, and even though not written for my specific tradition, it offered easy and respectful ways of adapting it.
At any rate awesome video, and great book.
Psychic Witch was an interesting read and this looks worth checking out as well.
Great timing! This is on my wish list...

Yes! quite unusual and definitely impressive!

You're safe. Mat offers a very nice system for the 21st century :)
@@FoolishFishBooks Thank you!!
You could always read that book as a history book.
Ordered thanks.
The guy who introduced me to magick was Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa

Also, great video as always!

Good book, I like reading books
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Alessio! Very much appreciated! :D
I have BOTH 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Have you ever made any videos on kundalini ?
Not yet 😊
@@FoolishFishBooks there’s a book i recently just went through it’s called “Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium” I think you’d enjoy it
Is it best to Read Psychic Witch first, or does this book stand on its own?
Standalone is fine! 😊
Hmm this book looks so Tumblr-ish compared to the first one
0:08 these books don't look used at all ;D
Will they have a Spanish version?
Highly likely
@@FoolishFishBooks Learn English.
