A white magic book, also known as a grimoire or a book of spells, is a text containing instructions on how to practice white magic. White magic is a form of witchcraft or occultism that aims to use supernatural powers for good purposes and to help others. The white magic book typically includes a variety of spells, rituals, and incantations that practitioners can use to bring about positive changes in their lives or the lives of others. These spells can range from simple rituals for protection or healing, to more complex spells for love, prosperity, or success. In addition to spells, a white magic book may also contain information on other aspects of magic, such as divination, charms, and talismans. Divination techniques, such as tarot card readings or crystal ball gazing, are often used to gain insight or guidance in white magic practice.

Divination techniques, such as tarot card readings or crystal ball gazing, are often used to gain insight or guidance in white magic practice. Charms and talismans, on the other hand, are objects infused with magical energy that are believed to bring about certain desired outcomes. It is important to note that white magic is typically associated with positive intentions and ethical practices.

The double-album curse

Recording is taxing for a band. A ton of time is spent taping, refining and re-hashing tracks. You fall into the monotony of playing those 10-12 tracks over and over again, and during that time you’re either not working on new material and probably aren’t playing out much.

Your career is off to a good start, but now comes the follow-up album. You want to get bigger and better, but now you have to write new material. In an effort to create something monumental, a band may try to create the coveted double-album. This may seem like a good idea, but you’re taking all of that taxation and knowingly doubling it. What may seem like a quick payoff often results in destruction or permanent damage to the band. I call this: The Curse of the Successful Double Album. Looking back through my music collection I have the following examples:

Pink Floyd – The Wall (1979)

After the success they reached with The Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall was a monumental 2 disc album that not only caught lightning in the bottle again after Dark Side, but it propelled their status as a legendary band. However, the curse takes over. After The Wall, Pink Floyd released The Final Cut, which was basically a Roger Waters album dedicated to his father. Waters quit the band in 1985, saying that Pink Floyd was a “spent force”.

Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995)

Billy Corgan & Co followed up the classic Siamese Dream with a double CD with one of the defining albums of my teenage years. The album was so polished, so diverse, and so very defining of the Smashing Pumpkins. There were a landmark 28 songs over the two discs that were written so well, but again this spelled destruction for the band. In 1996, their touring keyboardist died of a heroin overdose which led to drummer Jimmy Chamberlin being kicked out of the band. As if they didn’t have enough problems, the Pumpkins decided that they would stop making “conventional” Pumpkins music, with guitarist James Iha saying, “The future is in electronic music. It really seems boring just to play rock music.” The Pumpkins never had the same lineup or success ever again.

Michael Jackson – HIStory (1995)

This album is more coincidental than a curse, and I’ll admit that this may not actually fall within the realm for two reasons: 1) This wasn’t a 2-disc album of original songs, the first disc was a “Greatest Hits” compilation. 2) Jackson’s career was already on the decline due to his 1993 tour cancellation and the sexual abuse accusations. Jackson followed this up with a huge multi-year tour. Jackson didn’t release new material for another six years, and Invincible’s sales were notably lower than any of the other albums.

OutKast – Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003)

This is another one of those gray areas, while OutKast did release this as a 2-disc, these essentially were two solo albums (although they did appear on each other’s songs). This album was their most commercially successful album, and “Hey Ya” transcended hip-hop to commercial pop, with “The Way You Move” on it’s coattails. The album won a Grammy for “Album of the Year” in 2004. The curse struck again and they followed it up in 2006 with IdleWild, a film-based concept album. We’re still waiting for the real follow-up album, and Wikipedia says that they were anticipating a 2009 release. We’re half-way through the year, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Stadium Arcadium (2006)

The Chili Peppers had been around for over 20 years when they released this double CD, which featured 28 tracks. What I didn’t realize was that according to Wikipedia they actually recorded 38 tracks and were planning to release this on three albums (each six months apart). After touring for nearly 2 years, the band is now officially on a hiatus. Lead singer Anthony Keidis cites burnout from the touring and says that the Chili Peppers will reunite later this year to begin studio work, but guitarist John Frusciante has no immediate plans to return right now. Drummer Chad Smith is doing Chickenfoot, so I’m just hoping the curse doesn’t ring true for another one of my other bands.

Double Albums Not Mentioned:

• Foo Fighters – In Your Honor: This may be very subjective, but this album just wasn’t that big to me when compared to the other double albums and their respective band.
• Every Live Album: I only considered studio albums

Practitioners of white magic strive to use their powers responsibly and with the best interests of themselves and others in mind. Unlike black magic, which is often seen as harmful or manipulative, white magic focuses on healing, protection, and the betterment of oneself and the world. The contents of a white magic book can vary widely depending on the author or tradition it originates from. Some books may focus on a specific aspect of white magic, such as herbalism or candle magic, while others may provide a comprehensive overview of various magical practices. In conclusion, a white magic book is a valuable resource for those interested in practicing white magic. It contains instructions, spells, and rituals that practitioners can use to bring about positive changes in their lives and the lives of others. By using white magic responsibly and ethically, individuals can tap into their own inner power and contribute to the well-being of themselves and the world around them..

Reviews for "The White Magick Book: Harnessing the Energy of the Moon and Planets"

1. Joshua - 1 star - I found "White Magix Book" to be incredibly underwhelming. The spells and rituals described in the book seemed amateurish and lacked any real substance. I was hoping for a comprehensive guide to white magic, but instead, I got a collection of basic and generic practices that I could have easily found on the internet. Overall, I was highly disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to anyone serious about learning and practicing white magic.

2. Emily - 2 stars - As someone who is new to the world of magic, I was excited to get my hands on "White Magix Book." However, I found the content to be quite confusing and poorly explained. The book assumes a certain level of prior knowledge and often left me feeling lost and frustrated. Additionally, the writing style was dry and lacked any real passion or enthusiasm for the subject matter. I believe there are better books out there for beginners looking to explore white magic.

3. Michael - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "White Magix Book" but found it to be a disappointing read. The information presented in the book felt repetitive and lacked depth. It seemed more like a collection of random thoughts and ideas rather than a cohesive guide to white magic. I also felt that the author could have provided more practical examples and instructions instead of vague descriptions. Overall, I found the book to be lacking substance and would not recommend it to anyone looking for an in-depth exploration of white magic.

4. Samantha - 1 star - I found "White Magix Book" to be a complete waste of my time and money. The information provided in the book was incredibly basic and felt like a mere overview of white magic. The spells and rituals mentioned were nothing new or unique, and I could have easily found the same information online for free. The book seemed more like a quick cash grab rather than a genuine effort to provide valuable knowledge to readers. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone serious about studying white magic.
