Book Review -Magic On The Breath by Tylluan Penry

'There is a reference in the Book of Genesis 'neshemet ruach chayim' or "the spirit of life within the breath"

In Tylluan Penrys book Magic On The Breath this spiritual phenomena is explored from a pagan witches point of view. I found this book a fascinating but down to earth, easy to follow in depth guide to creating and performing magic simply and effectively just by learning to use the breath.

This is a book that will be a wealth of practical advise and knowledge whether you are just starting out on a magical path or you are a more experienced practitioner.

In my opinion this book is an invaluable resource to anyone who is interested in breath work and you don't necessarily have to be a practising witch!

Controlling the breath is of utmost importance in many different cultures and religious practises.

For example the Yogi masters have been teaching us that there is an inner breath, also known as prana, chi, energy or ki.

The inner breath they teach us IS our spirit which moves through us body and soul. I have many books on spell casting, paganism, and all manner of esoteric subjects which have all had a part to play in my spiritual life, however no book has opened my eyes in quite the same way as Magic On The Breath.

Using the breath for magic had not occurred to me before reading this book, but it makes perfect sense and I believe can help us to achieve a much deeper understanding of our spirituality and our own inner magical power.

The breathing techniques described in the book take practise and dedication, this book is one which you will return to time and again. Learning about how your breath works and how you can affect it and the energy that surrounds us will take time and effort but it will be worth every minute.

Tylluan includes no less than 15 chapters with the following subjects being just a sample, ranging from dealing with negativity, empowering your spells, working with the moon and the elements, thought forms, glamour magic and spring cleaning the mind.


Magic On the Breath is an excellent and knowledgable book that I heartily recommend.  I award this book a great big fat 5 stars! *****
