 The Pencil Witch: Pointed, Practical Magic, No Eraser Required 
Gems Gathered from the Mysteries Hidden for Ages, Devotees will derive greater benefit from their studies provided they do not despise the works of the old Philosophers and that they study with care and penetration the classical texts, until they have acquired sufficient perception to understand the obscure points of the practice. No one may aspire to possess the greatest secret, if they do not direct their lives in accordance with the researches they have undertaken. By constant exercise of the faculties of observation and reasoning and by meditative contemplation, novices will climb steps leading to: Knowledge.A simple imitation of natural processes, skill combined with ingenuity, and the insight born of long experience will secure for them the: Power.Having obtained that, they will still have need of patience, constancy and unshakeable will. Brave and resolute, they will be enabled by the certainty and confidence born of a strong conviction to: Dare.Finally, when success has crowned so many years of labor, when their desires have been accomplished, the Wise Ones, despising the vanities of the world, will draw near to the humble, the disinherited, to all those who work, suffer, struggle and weep here below. As anonymous and mute disciples of eternal Nature, as advocates of eternal Charity, they will remain faithful to their vow of silence. In Science, in Goodness, one must evermore Keep silent. PRAISE FOR THE PENCIL WITCH “Like the artwork, the text is intricate and filled with beautiful mysteries un-raveled only through extended and repeat visits. If Dumbledore and the faculty of Hogwarts were to write a textbook it would something like this.” |

 About the AuthorCraig Conley is a magic enthusiast and scholar. Recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation,” his intensive and eccentric research has led him to compile a true masterwork entitled Magic Words: A Dictionary. He has also authored One-Letter Words: A Dictionary, among other strange and unusual lexicons, and is a regular columnist for Pentacle magazine. Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Featured Works: Published Works
