n Magical Beasts by Marie Bruce (Foulsham, £9.99)
ANIMALS have always been a part of magic.
From the totem animals of Native Americans to beasts depicted on hereditary coats of arms, the magical powers of animals have been invoked down the ages.
Magical Beasts examines the essential nature of creatures and provides the key to the secrets of animal magic.
It explains the concept of familiars and power animals, and shows how - by using visualisations, magical rituals and spells - you can bring their special qualities into your life and use them to your advantage.
Get to know your pet in a completely new way, seeing it as a magical familiar and a source of gentle power that will enhance your spell-castings.
