Lawren Leo - 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 Leo (Dragonflame), a spiritual counselor, and Domenic Leo, a former art history professor at Duquesne University. Drawing from a variety of traditions,... 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 specific horse archetypes and spirits involved in the ritual. For instance, the jade horse of Chinese mythology promotes good luck... while the winged horse of Greek mythology can be a catalyst for lucid dreaming. 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.
