>>>>>[That was pretty sly there, GoD. I fell right into it. Didnt notice
a thing. You need to be a little more specific about what you are looking for.
Over the past 10 years I have been collecting books and tomes of even the
most inane magical theories. Most would be surprised at how close some of
the more primitive cultures were to obtaining magic...too bad it just
wasnt available to them.
Life Sparks -- Aura magic? Seems kinda Pseudo-New Age stuff. You might
take a look at some of the books from the 1970's-1990's or so. Lots of
information about chakras, ki, channeling. Once you get past all the self-help
drippy-hoop information you will find yourself with a better understanding to
work from.
Magic is all in the visualization. Simple.
Something else I dont usually let out but, you might wish to find archived
versions of old children's games. Back in 1970 or 1975 there was a company
that created a game called Dungeons and Dragons (which spawned of a host of
other such games and rules). It was played by children sitting around a
table with dice, pencils, and paper...and a lot of imagination. Pretty
simple stuff actually but what I want to point your attention to is that
they have a class called a magic-user and a set of spells and descriptions
of the effects of those spells. I freely admit that my imagination isnt
up to par so I use those for inspiration for spells. Not much in the way
of aura magic but definitely a must for any combat-oriented mage.
I have a decent hermetic library and some shamanic things hidden away. If
you need access to them I can do that. Just give me the scoop.]<<<<<
