Go dust off your thinking caps boys and girls, Mr. Keith has a science lesson in store for us!

In this 300-page volume we learn everything we ever wanted to know about quantum physics, and then some. Modern day theories on just exactly how the world works and why are what makes up a major portion of this book. We are treated to an explanation of why Sir Isaac Newton's theory is incomplete and how the world really works. Schr?dinger's cat, the Quantum Sea and working magic! They all just go to show you that what we witches knew all along is actually real.

But if we knew it was real why do we need this book? The author uses his lessons in quantum physics to show that magic works in a scientifically proven way. Me, I prefer my magic to be, well, magical. But Mr. Keith comes from a scientific background where all this stuff about casting spells and sending healing energy to distant friends is just shy of mumbo jumbo. So he uses the most current scientific premises to prove that magic works.

He includes copious footnotes throughout the text. I found them to be a distracting at best, and inane at their worst. Most footnotes didn't cite scholarly references (isn't that what footnotes do?) but were silly one-liners aimed at a cheap laugh. Granted on occasion they were funny, but they detracted from the text most of the time.

I spent the first half of the book wondering when we were going to get to the modern realities of witchcraft. I learned a bunch of stuff about quantum sciences that I didn't know, plus I had a couple of light-bulb moments with regard to things I learned years ago that the author presented in a very understandable format for the non-scientist types like me.

The book relies heavily on Isaac Bonewits' Laws of Magic, which are repeated within the text several times. The author then takes what he has taught us about quantum theory and creates the Laws of Quantum Magic. By Chapter 15, we know all we can about the theories and we start in with the Magic Lessons. If you manage to make it this far in the book, this is where the going gets good.

I have read meditations and rituals by the dozens. Rarely do I see anything new and different. This book contains some very bright pearls. After all the science guru stuff is out of the way, some very real world usable advice on working magic and connecting to the Divine is found in the final chapters of this book. I'd get it for these chapters alone. Excellent lessons for a beginner, the ideas put forth will also reawaken the wonder that fades with wisdom and experience in a more experienced witch.

This is one of the BEST books I have ever read about spirituality. It explains HOW and WHY magick/prayer works. Even if you already KNOW that it works, it reinforces your beliefs with scientific fact. Very easy read...Mr. Keith has a great sense of humour!
