to us or the scientific world. If they did, they wouldn't
be miracles.
You do not need to be a shaman to practice the
healing in this book, nor do you have to be
knowledgeable about magick or psychic healing. This
book is for laypeople who are concerned about a loved
one's illness or perhaps their own illnesses, and desire
alternative ways to work for healing.
Magickal Healing in Practice
This book is not slanted toward any one religious group
or idea. Goddess/God is known by hundreds of different
names that all strive to define an unknowable force in
the universe. There is no difference between the prayers
to saints and the prayers to ancient deities. The same
energy is attached to burning a candle at church as to
burning a candle at home. The only difference may lie in
the amount of concentration, determination, and desire
put out by the healer and the patient.
For any healing to take place, healing magick requires
total cooperation between the healer and the patient.
The patient must take an active part. In other words, the
patient must be responsible for their illness and do
everything they can to facilitate the healing. Otherwise,
the healing will not be permanent, if it occurs at all.
You should be aware that some patients, consciously
or subconsciously, do not want to be healed. Some
patients like the attention they get from their illness or
the control they can exert over family members and
friends because they are sick. No matter what you do,
you will not be able to heal these people. All the time,
effort, and energy you pour into trying to heal such a
person will be wasted.
