Compendium of Magical Things: Communicating with the Divine to Create the Life of Your Dreams

What a joyful book! I follow Radleigh’s wonderful readings on Instagram, so as I read this fabulous compendium, I could hear his voice in my head. If you don’t know; Radleigh sounds so joyous there’s almost a permanent giggle in his voice.As to the content; it has a brief outline of many different divination tools which you can use to contact Spirit/Source/God/Divine (Radleigh rather obligingly frees you to choose the name you prefer).As he points out, it is an introduction into each, as they all would demand a very large book on their own to go into great detail. But there’s sufficient information to give you an insight and a great start.Radleigh’s humour is apparent throughout, and it’s more a conversation with the author than a dry, boring manual. It really is quite a fun read. I know; I just said that about a non-fiction book; wonders will never cease!He makes it OK to think about it. I know so many people put off some things such as tarot, as they’ve watched too many movies. But Radleigh’s friendly explanations seek to reassure people a) the connection is divine b) not necessarily religious (particularly in context of meditation).As a Reiki Master myself, I was having a conversation with a Methodist about my practice. She had difficulty trying to see past the source of the energy I channel. It’s Universal energy, but her beliefs meant she could only see this as claiming to be her version of God, and that somehow made it sacrilegious. And that’s OK; as Radleigh is keen to highlight, we’re all allowed our own views. Trying to keep an open mind enough to explore other options is very exciting though, so I think we both urge you to try.Now, I’ve explored most of the things discussed in this book already, and am well-acquainted with my chosen ones. However, I still found this compendium useful. I’ve been prompted to revisit some things. For instance, I looked back through my birth chart, which now makes a lot more sense to me. And I looked up my numerology as well – kinda wish I hadn’t read the Name Essence though; tough times ahead, but forewarned is forearmed, and I can now prepare. Baton down the hatches!So, you’ve seen the cover read the blurb, and some reviews. Should you read this one? You sure should!Look, you’re obviously curious about things such as angels/tarot/astrology, so what are you waiting for? At least discover what your options are. And Radleigh explains in a way you will understand in his own wonderfully witty way.Still not sure? See what your pendulum says ;)

Radleigh has a fantastic talent for an open minded view on all things magical. I have dabbled in different ways to connect with source and I learnt a lot of new avenues and even a thing or two I didn’t know through this book. This could be useful for anyone from beginners onwards on their spiritual journey and is a true gem to the Hay House library. If you haven’t watched videos of Radleigh or met him I would recommend watching one or two, only as when you read the book his character really shines through.

Got it for xmas present! Really pleased with it!

Excellent book to read again and again love it

What a great little book.Several of the things I already use and love but still learned something more about them. A lot of the other things I’d only heard about and it was a great foundation to see if I wanted to explore them more.Love his writing style and sense of humor. So refreshing in a “good for you” book.

Radleigh is humorous and informative, giving a very thorough get light introduction to the most common Oracles. If you've ever heard his sweet southern voice, reading the book will be as if he were sitting down having tea with you. While i have seen him speak, this is my first book by Raleigh and it's such a delightful read; I'm excited to check out another one of his works!Even if you're familiar with Oracles, I'd still recommend this book. I found it to give me a new perspective and definitely sparked my curiosity in surprising ways!

I pre-ordered the book and was very excited waiting for THE DAY to come when I finally had it in my hands. When I got it, I just couldn't stop reading it! I'm so in love and passionate about everything that has to do with energies. I'm certified in different areas, such as Reiki, Tarot, Numerology and this book is like adding salt and pepper to what I know already. It takes you by the hand while exploring every subject and even though it's written, you can "listen" to Radleigh: his happiness, how he is enjoying writing this and "telling it to you".It's a very cheerful, in depth, detailed "in a general way" (if you can say this) guide into everything that he explains. I'ts such a good book that, besides having the "physical" one, I also bought the Kindle edition, so I can have it with me everywhere I go.GO BUY NOW NOW NOW!!!!

It has everything about spiritual things and then some, th author Radleigh Valentine, made all things clear and concise, with a very good humor. Reni

This is a very simple look at a wide array of divination tools along with their history all presented in a fun loving way. The author takes you through divination tools giving the reader enough details on each one to help them determine if they want to try it or not. Each one was fun to learn about and it was presented in a way to help someone who is curious or not learn about a new form of divination. I enjoyed it.
