Here Is the Book Merlin Could Have Given a Young Arthur…If Only It Had Existed.

Oberon Zell-Ravenheart shares magickal practices in his new book Companion for the Apprentice Wizard. Unlike his first best-selling book, Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard which focused on the lessons one must learn to become a Wizard, Oberon focuses on taking you to the next level by putting those lessons to use with hands-on magickal training.

Chapters are based on the Departments of Oberon’s Grey School of Wizardry:
Alchemy
Beast Mastery
Ceremonial Magick
Cosmology and Metaphysics
Divination
Healing
Lifeways
Lore
Mathemagicks
Metapsychics
Nature
Performance Magic
Practice
Sorcery
Wizardry
Wortcunning

Inside you will find materials and exercises from the vaults of the Grey School, and instruction from the faculty. Step-by-step instructions are provided for:

  • How to make a Wizard’s wand
  • How to make your own runes
  • How to make a pocket sundial
  • How to make and use a firebow
  • How to make the milky way galaxy
  • How to make your own amulets and talismans
  • Potions for all purposes
  • How to conjure illusions and create special effects

    Companion for the Apprentice Wizard also includes a number of hand-drawn, full-page diagrams of magickal objects to copy, cut out, and assemble, including:
