Critic Reviews

"Velchanes takes on each of the aetheric spheres in their ascending Chaldean order, offering penetrating insights from a variety of perspectives. Whereas modern astrology tends to regard the zodiacal signs as personality types and the primary loci of astrological meaning, Soror Velchanes resituates the planets into their rightful roles as distinct concentrations of meaning. She deftly handles the history, theory and practice of planetary magic, giving transformational exercises resulting in a complete integration of planetary consciousness. This amazing resource should be in the personal library of every astrologer, alchemist and magician."
β€”Jaime Paul Lamb, author of The Astrological Goetia

"Hands down the definitive guide to Planetary Magick! Thoroughly researched, easy to read and follow. This workbook also challenges the practitioner to 'do the work,' as it were. Soror Velchanes presents us with exercises and rituals that provide the magician with tools and techniques to aid them on their life journey while enriching their practice and deepening their expertise."
β€”Joshua Wetzel, author of The Paradigmal Pirate

"Few, if any, practical workbooks on astrological magick have succeeded the way The Planetary Magick Workbook does...While focusing mainly on the classical planets, this workbook is overflowing with astrological theory and techniques, as well as important historical details which help to expand and deepen our understanding of the practices themselves. There is likely no better reference for the modern astrological magick practitioner in a single volume, and I'm happy to say that I have incorporated more than a few of the given exercises into my personal practice with great success."
β€”Ike Baker, author of A Formless Fire, Γ†theric Magic, and host of the ARCANVM podcast and YouTube channel

"This book will equip you with the tools to create profound, authentic inner initiations. The Planetary Magic Workbook uses Peter Caroll's system of chaos monasticisms to guide you through a series of exercises that initiate you into the mysteries of each planet. These small steps, a blend of ancient planetary and chaos magic, foster a profoundly personal and intuitive understanding of planetary mysteries...The book is designed to be usable by both the experienced and beginning magician, ensuring that all readers can connect with its teachings...It is a beautiful planetary journey that will transform you and give you tools to measure progress in the real world."
β€”Andrieh Vitimus, author of Hands On Chaos Magic

"This book offers comprehensive, immersive information for literally everyone. Newcomers to the occult will find practical steps to understanding the classical planets and the roles they play in magic, while seasoned practitioners will discover enlightening methods of integrating planetary energies into their daily lives. In a voice that is firm, experienced, and encouraging, Soror Velchanes combines her extensive knowledge of chaos magic and Western esotericism to guide readers down a truly unique path towards adepthood."
β€”Thumper Forge, Chaos Witch and blogger at Five Fold Law
