Reviews
“Finally—the book I’ve been hoping Richard Kaczynski would write for the 20+ years since I first met him. An absolute must-read for anyone interested in the interface of psychology and occultism.” * David Shoemaker, PsyD, author of Living Thelema * “Destiny dwells in these pages. Any magical practitioner, seeker, or student of life who reads Richard Kaczynski’s Mind over Magick will discover new personal paths and insights from one of the most erudite, unpredictable, learned, and profound intellects writing today in the magical space. From Richard’s chilling, unforgettable opening pages to his finely reasoned psycho- metaphysical insights and breakthroughs—and the practices to accompany them—Mind over Magick harbors a fate of its own: an occult classic.” * Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award–winning historian and author of The Miracle Club * “Mind over Magick presents a compelling exploration of ritual magick through the lens of psychology and cognitive neuroscience, revealing how structured symbolic practices produce significant shifts in the magician’s perceptions, emotions, and behavior. Drawing on peer-reviewed research, Richard Kaczynski offers a clear framework for understanding the psychological foundations of transformative spiritual and magical experience.” * Dean Radin, MS, PhD, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Science (IONS) and author of The Sci * “Richard Kaczynski is a trained social psychologist and statistician who recognizes the presence of ‘something’ in magick yet also understands the professional practice of science inside and out. Here is a most striking science of magick that is also an implicit theory of popular culture and the ever-present paranormal. We are drawn to things throughout life, it turns out, not because of bad beliefs or misperceptions, but because of who and what we are—magical and material at the same time.” * Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of How to Think Impossibly *
