We - Witches, Wizards, Pagans and New-Agers - are healers and thus naturally drawn to the healing Arts and Sciences, whether conventional or alternative. I consider Reiki a gentle unobtrusive part, expression or practice of Magic safely used in a new world where the old Pagan ways are frowned at and the practice of Witchcraft could attract dangerous and life-threatening antagonism if unwittingly done openly. Reiki for Witches - A Multi-Purpose Holistic Tool For Witches, Wizards, Pagans and New-Agers by Dr. Isis Day, is an expository thesis which discusses Reiki as an alternative type of healing practice, and looks at its significance within the context of Metaphysics, Pagan and New Age practices. It examines the key techniques associated with this Energy healing process which allows Reiki Practitioners to help themselves and others, thus healing the Inner Person through the use of the Universal Life Force or Magic.
What is Reiki? How has this Japanese healing tradition evolved over the years? How are modern magick practitioners using Reiki energy in their spells and rituals? Christopher Penczak answers these questions and more in his groundbreaking examination of Reiki from a magickal perspective. The history, mythos, variations, and three degrees of Reiki are discussed in depth. Penczak also suggests way to integrate Reiki and magickal practice, such as using Reiki energy for psychic development and with candle magick, crystals, herbs, charms, and talismans.

You are here for a purpose - you're here on a mission as messengers of peace, love and well-being.

The persecution of Old World German Protestants and Anabaptists in the seventeenth century--following debilitating wars, the Reformation, and the Inquisition-- brought about significant immigration to America. Many of the immigrants, and their progeny, settled in the Appalachian frontier. Here they established a particularly old set of religious beliefs and traditions based on a strong sense of folk spirituality. They practiced astrology, numerology, and other aspects of esoteric thinking and left a legacy that may still be found in Appalachian folklore today. Based in part on the author's extensive collection of oral histories from the remote highlands of West Virginia, Signs, Cures, and Witchery; German Appalachian Folklore describes these various occult practices, symbols, and beliefs; how they evolved within New World religious contexts; how they arrived on the Appalachian frontier; and the prospects of those beliefs continuing in the contemporary world. By concentrating on these inheritances, Gerald C. Milnes draws a larger picture of the German influence on Appalachia. Much has been written about the Anglo-Celtic, Scots-Irish, and English folkways of the Appalachian people, but few studies have addressed their German cultural attributes and sensibilities. Signs, Cures, and Witchery sheds startling light on folk influences from Germany, making it a volume of tremendous value to Appalachian scholars, folklorists, and readers with an interest in Appalachian folklife and German American studies.
