Colorado based author J.M. Conley joines KaliSara and RevKess to talk about this debut book, Quantum Magic. The first in a series of how-to's from Conley, Quantum Magic is a guide to understanding and practicing magic. This should prove to be an interesting converstion. From his Amazon author page: J M Conley, a Solitaire wizard, has studied the occult for over half a century. His experience is founded in elemental magic and includes several other traditions. As a metaphysician, he has always been more interested in the commonalities between the various traditions than their differences and in identifying the foundational concepts shared across the various paths. This study has generated a lifelong pursuit to better understand the mystical elements of the multi-verse and our connection to them. Quantum Magic is available through Amazon. RevKess met J.M. Conley through the Denver Area Pagan Meet-Up and is looking forward to sharing some thoughts on his book with the audience.
