Brain Magick: Exercises in Meta-Magick and Invocations" by Philip H. Farber is a practical guide that bridges the worlds of neuroscience and occult practices, focusing on invocation and evocation techniques to enhance personal power and consciousness. Drawing from principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnosis, and modern brain science-such as mirror neurons and the default mode network-the book demystifies magick by explaining its neurological mechanisms. It offers over 70 exercises designed to help readers consciously control and amplify their natural traits while developing new abilities, ultimately infusing their lives with greater excitement, purpose, and mythical allure. Topics range from states of consciousness and energy flow to ritual frames, memetic entities, and the integration of psychedelics like psilocybin and DMT for altered mind-states.
Through a blend of theory and hands-on practice, Farber encourages readers to explore meta-magick as a tool for self-transformation, incorporating elements like breathing techniques, timelines, embodied metaphors, and group mind dynamics. The book emphasizes invocation as a means to summon deities, archetypes, or inner potentials, while evocation deals with externalizing entities. With forewords by Don Webb and Arden Leigh, this work-2nd edition printed in 2025 by Black Moon Publishing-positions magick not as superstition but as a science-backed method for rewiring the brain, fostering neuroplasticity, and achieving profound personal and collective changes.
