Horse Magick: Spells and Rituals for Self-Empowerment, Protection, and Prosperity

History, psychology, and magic blend nicely in this equine book of spells from Lawren (Dragonflame), a spiritual counselor, and Domenic, a former art history professor at Duquesne University. Drawing from a variety of traditions of horse imagery, including Greek mythology, Native American shamanism, and voodoo, the authors present a vast array of spells and rituals intended to furnish a better understanding of the ways the spirit of the horse acts upon everyday human life. Each spell includes explanations of steps and supplies, as well as information about the specific horse archetypes and spirits involved in the ritual. For instance, the jade horse of Chinese mythology promotes good luck, and the Leos recommend an offer using a borrowed bowl, hay, flower petals, and a jade piece (preferably a horse figurine), while the winged horse of Greek mythology can be a catalyst for lucid dreaming through a ritual using water, anise pods, and a moonstone. Though “no contact with actual horses is required” for these rituals, this enchanting guide provides pleasant reflective rituals for contemplating the connection between horses and humans. (June)
