Real Magic: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science, and a Guide to the Secret Power of the Universe is a book written by Dean Radin, a parapsychologist and researcher well-known for his work on the scientific investigation of psychic phenomena. Radin's book seeks to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, exploring the realms of magic, consciousness, and the nature of reality. In this book, Radin presents a compelling argument for the existence of real magic and its potential implications for humanity. Radin begins by discussing the historical context of magic and its association with supernatural powers. He explores various cultural and religious traditions that have embraced magic throughout human history, emphasizing that magic is not merely a fantasy or illusion, but rather a fundamental aspect of the human experience. Through an engaging blend of scientific research, anecdotal evidence, and personal stories, Radin presents a compelling case for the existence of magic.

On the Road Again.
In Search of Magic Mexican Mojo :)

MOJO: The time I sent out a newsletter I was about to head off to Bolivia and Peru. That trip ended up being over 2 months long and was incredible. I definitely have to go back. I'd been to Peru before but discovered even more ground to explore there too. But before I do, I've been feeling a need to recapture some of that first magical Mexican mojo I soaked up on my first travel adventure out of the U.S. back in 1990. And, I purchased a budget one-way ticket to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico leaving this coming Monday.

I don't plan on being there very long. It's just the airline ticket was actually less expensive than a bus ride going down that far and it saves me a good 20hrs of travel, give or take. From there, I don't know. Likely a little further South, the hook over toward Mexico City. Not sure though. Will be making it up as I go. The goal once again is to keep it all pretty open to the Universe and hope the Great Spirit shows me the way.

There are a few postings from the Bolivia + Peru trip on my blog HERE and there are also a few images from that trip available HERE

PATREON: Launched on Patreon!😎 patreon.com/skiphunt - The way this works is that folks who want to support my work, can become a patron by pledging monthly. You can change the amount to whatever you can swing, down to even $1 a month. And, you can either change the amount monthly or you can cancel at any time.

I'll be adding more incentives as I go along, but I decided to start off with a low suggested monthly (that you can change), and a second level that has the Vicarious Travel Postcard component for $30. If you just want to get in on the Vicarious Travel Postcard, you can sign-up now, and then reduce or cancel the pledge after the first month. It's up to you. Just pick that option and include your mailing address.

I was hesitant about Patreon at first. Seemed too good to be true, but I've watched them grow and become quite respected worldwide over the last few years and am convinced it's now a great and viable platform for content creators and artists with folks who'd dig supporting them and becoming a patron. Please consider becoming a supporting patron of mine and join me for this next great chapter!

SEDITION ART: A couple weeks ago a friend, and now collector/patron of my work :) suggested I check out this new digital fine art service Sedition Art.

Still wrapping my head around the nuts and bolts, but basically the platform allows collectors to buy, sell, trade digitally certified limited edition works of art. It's all handled in sort of a secure server-based digital bank.

I've been following the site for a couple weeks and really love the work on display there. Decided I'd give it a shot and see how my work might do, and launched my first collection of 5 yesterday. There's a digital painting, video, and 3 photos. Eventually, I'll try out some more experimental glitchy loops and such. Already got my first collector! :)

In order to launch, I had to invite a few people for a "private viewing" before it goes "public". I picked a few out of my mailing list in order to launch it publicly today.

It's very cool and I'm thrilled to be a part of it! You can check out my first collection HERE

Interesting times we're living in. It'll be interesting to see how all this evolves. I'm still very green to this new way of collecting art, but figured it was time to get my feet wet. We'll see how it goes.

That's it for now. I'll be doing my usual posting from the road in Mexico when I have connectivity, but I'm going to try and keep the majority of it housed on my new Patreon site. If you've dug what I've done in the past, and want to support my continued efforts, please consider becoming a Patron! :)

I'll be doing some postings from the road on my Instagram Feed as well.

Looking forward to hopefully revisiting the peace sign of stones I completed a couple years ago out in the San Luis Potosi "Huiricuta" desert. My guess is that the goats have likely kicked it all the heck by now. LOL 😎

PS: Please forward this to anyone also might dig my photography and from "the road" reportage. They can subscribe HERE

A weekly podcast from the magical land of Foon.

Hi! I’m Arnie. I fell through a portal behind a Burger King and found myself in a strange magical land called Foon. Somehow I'm getting a wi-fi signal so I host a weekly podcast, interviewing creatures, wizards, and adventurers. I recommend listening from the beginning. But hey, you do you.

Through an engaging blend of scientific research, anecdotal evidence, and personal stories, Radin presents a compelling case for the existence of magic. He explores the scientific evidence for psychic phenomena such as telepathy, precognition, and psychokinesis, highlighting numerous studies that have shown statistically significant results. Radin also discusses the limitations and criticisms of these studies, acknowledging the need for further investigation and replication.

One of the main themes of the book is the role of consciousness in shaping our reality. Radin proposes that consciousness is not merely a byproduct of the brain, but rather a fundamental force that can influence the physical world. He discusses various theories and models of consciousness, drawing on quantum physics, neuroscience, and parapsychology to support his arguments. Radin also explores the practical applications of magic, discussing how individuals can tap into their own innate psychic abilities and use them for healing, creativity, and personal transformation. He provides practical exercises and techniques to help readers develop their own magical abilities and explore their own potential. Throughout the book, Radin encourages readers to approach the subject of magic with an open mind and a willingness to explore new possibilities. He emphasizes the importance of scientific rigor and skepticism, while also acknowledging the limitations of current scientific methodologies in studying paranormal phenomena. Overall, Real Magic offers a thought-provoking and comprehensive exploration of the nature of magic and its potential implications for humanity. Radin's research and insights provide a compelling argument for the existence of real magic, challenging conventional notions of reality and opening up new avenues for scientific exploration. Whether one believes in magic or not, this book offers a fascinating journey into the mysteries of the universe and the potential of human consciousness..

Reviews for "The Healing Power of Real Magic: Dean Radin's Research on Energy Medicine"

1. John - 2/5 stars - "I had high hopes for 'Real Magic' after hearing about the author's credentials and the promises of exploring the scientific evidence behind paranormal phenomena. However, I found the book to be underwhelming and lacking in critical analysis. Radin's arguments were often based on anecdotal experiences and subjective interpretations of studies, rather than presenting rigorous scientific evidence. As someone keen on understanding the nature of reality, I was disappointed by the lack of depth and robustness in this book."

2. Emily - 1/5 stars - "I found 'Real Magic' to be a complete waste of time. The author fails to provide any convincing evidence for the existence of real magic. Instead, he relies on cherry-picked studies and unsubstantiated claims. Radin often jumps to conclusions without considering alternative explanations or potential biases. This book is more like a collection of speculative ideas rather than a scientific exploration of the paranormal. I was hoping for something thought-provoking, but all I got was a load of pseudoscience."

3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - "While I was initially intrigued by the concept of 'Real Magic,' I found the book to be overly focused on promoting the author's personal beliefs rather than providing a comprehensive analysis. Radin tends to rely on anecdotal evidence and subjective experiences, which is not a sound scientific approach. Additionally, the writing style is dry and repetitive, making it difficult to maintain interest. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a credible exploration of the paranormal."

4. Michael - 1/5 stars - "I couldn't finish 'Real Magic' as it quickly became apparent that the author was more interested in pushing his own agenda rather than objectively examining the subject matter. Radin's use of selective studies and biased interpretation undermines any credibility this book may have had. It is filled with unfounded claims and baseless speculation. As someone skeptical about paranormal phenomena, this book did nothing to convince me or offer any convincing evidence."
