Deep down most of us believe in magic, because we know that sometimes - just sometimes - magic can come tumbling into our lives with a blinding flash, and suddenly there we are facing the person we’re destined to fall in love with, or being offered the job we never believed we would get, or we just find ourselves walking down that same familiar street, but this time it’s different - this time we’ve fallen in love with life this time everything looks different, and life feels wonderful and exciting again.
Most people believe that you can’t make this kind of magic occur in your life. They say you’re either lucky or you’re not it either happens to you or it doesn’t. But what if we could make magic happen? What if we could do things that actually made these types of experiences occur more often in our lives? And what if there was a book that taught this kind of magic?

The latest book by Philip Carr-Gomm is Lessons in Magic: A guide to Making your Dreams Come True. I always look forward to his publications as Philip is also a psychologist, and shares a common quest: for a spirituality that is more psychological and a psychology that is more spiritual. Highly accomplished, amongst other things, he is head of The Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids – the world’s largest order of Druidry. Psychology and Sprituality meet in the book, which displays Philip’s considerable skill at integrating the two. Similar to the Pagan Portals series from Moon Books, this is one of those brief works (52 pages) that manages to boil down a lifetime of developed wisdom on a specific subject.In his introduction, Philip states that, “real magic, powerful magic, good magic is concerned with serving something more than yourself, as well as yourself. Real magic helps you make a difference in the world.” From psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut’s Self Psychology perspective, this view of magic could be said to meet the selfobject idealization need. This universal need begins in infancy and persists throughout the lifespan. It is the need to feel part of something bigger than oneself. Further, to “make a difference in the world” is one of the indices of growth that we look to see in our patients in psychoanalytic treatment. I had not thought of it in these terms before reading this book: psychoanalysts anticipate that our patients will become magicians.
I appreciate the personal style which Philip deploys in the text, including history material from his childhood. Of course that is gratifying to my psychoanalyst self, and the part of me that loves personalia about inspiring people.
Asserting that “magicians give birth to dreams” Philip organizes the treatise into five sections. The Arrow of Darkness concerns finding your dream. Nourishing the Seed considers how to suckle the dream. Here he wisely teaches us to “focus on being first. Seek contentment, fulfillment, inspiration, and wonder first. Then focus on doing what you love.” Jumping Off the Cliff and Finding You Can Fly shows us how to ask spirit friends for help. The Daring Adventure is an excellent discussion of how to think about objectives and obstacles. He notes that psychological studies of highly self-actualized people show them “to use both their cauldrons and their wands – their abilities to be both open and focus.” The Harvest reflects on how to live our dream in a way that facilitates a flow of further inspiration.
Lessons in Magic achieves Philip’s aim to seamlessly blend psychology and ancient wisdom. It is recommended with enthusiasm to anyone who wishes to dip into the subject of magic, regardless of spiritual path.

Lessons in Magic A Guide to Making Your Dreams Come True edition by Philip CarrGomm SelfHelp eBooks Reviews
This little book is a real gem! It can be tempting to assume that the art of Magic is some great arcane and inaccessible mystery found only in obscure and unfathomably old tomes; at worst an anachronism in our scientific age, at best a fairy tale fiction. Lessons In Magic urges us to recognise that Magic is actually very real, accessible and in tune with our 21st Century sensibilities and it does this in a wonderfully concise and unfussy way.
Philip Carr-Gomm’s book is divided into five chapters, each dealing with a different stage in the magical process. These are beautifully written and include questions to ask yourself (self-knowledge being a cornerstone of successful magic), useful and achievable practical exercises and commentaries that sum up and reiterate the key points of each lesson. The approach is a seamless weaving together of the fascinating worlds of magic, spirituality and psychology, and this blending only serves to strengthen its composite parts. Philip Carr-Gomm takes the reader on a step by step journey, clearly and simply signposting all the pitfalls and obstacles and their possible causes, guiding us to discover the manifestation abilities that we all possess in our hearts, minds and hands. It is both a deeply practical and inspiring book but don’t be fooled by its seeming simplicity, the process that Philip lays out here is potentially profound and life-changing.
It takes great skill and a life-time’s worth of experience –based wisdom to be able to hone down the key elements of this subject and present them in a way that is not only easy to grasp but that also fires your spirit into action. I got a real buzz reading this book – and had several ‘yes!’ moments. As Philip suggests, putting this process into action can sometimes be a challenge but this is the value of the book. It is both a rallying call to live the life you suspected you were always meant to live and a guidebook to help get you there. I know I will turn to it again and again to remind myself of the importance of each step and to encourage myself in staying focused on the possibilities.
Philip’s writing has warmth and wisdom – this little book encapsulates in spirit all the brilliant advice of an encouraging friend and the deep knowledge of a magical sage. It may be little but it packs a powerful magical punch. Highly recommended!
Reading Philip is like talking to a dear friend — a wise one. A great book to guide you on your journey.
You might like this most recent book Lessons in Magic A Guide to Making Your Dreams Come True by Philip Carr-Gomm, if you feel like life has no meaning any more, if you are striving to find steadiness , but it is seemingly met with more blocks and disappointments, if you rarely have a soulful moment, if you look to television and electronic media to tell you what to do, think and say, if other people don't get you and you them, if you faintly remember a beautiful sacred Earth, and if your time here is almost gone and violence, hate and greed are winning out over love.
But if you passionately desire more clarity, civility, soulfulness and peace, if you are still in love with the Earth, if you have just a tiny single spark of creativity left, if you would like to find your own personal Grail cup and collect droplets of Awen under ancient apple trees, you just might find that Mr. Carr-Gomm's book may have something to offer you. The author says that Lessons in Magic A Guide to Making Your Dreams Come True is a basic guide to assist you in bringing Good Magic into your life.
