It was apparently OK to talk about the project and upcoming book from Avalonia Books. It is handled by the lovely witted or perhaps I should say wicked Kim Huggens who has been a contributor for Avalonia Books before and is a major tarot and hoodoo/voodoo practitioner. The book will be called “From a Drop of Water: A Collection of Magickal Reflections on the Nature, Creatures, Uses, and Symbolism of Water”. A topic that I found very interesting and something that you might not think about that hard until you actually get involved in a project like this.

My contribution is about the use of water in the grimoires and believe me when I say you do spend a lot of water in this kind of magic. Plenty of holy water is needed and you do take a lot of baths. I have found a lot of things that I have not thought about before but found now that I was intentionally searching for water associations. One of the things I found was in Idries Shah’s “The Secret Lore of Magic” was a description from the “Book of Power” that Shah has a translation of. It is a description of how to make the elixir of life or the water of life that I found interesting. Only problem is that you have to travel to Africa to find a stone in the deserts and it only exists in Africa according to the book. I have actually used the book of power before and performed a ritual from it to get two persons to fall in love with each other with great success to my friends delight.

I think this will become a very different and interesting book in the end. I will see if I can get Kim to tell us more about the project as the contributions starts to come in. Still some time before the deadline is over:)
