Elhoim's Book Reviews/Endorsements
When you are an author, many opportunities arise, according (obviously) to your experience, your background, and the type of published material that you have written, some publishing companies (often the authors directly) contact you to request a review of yours for some book.
In these most recent years I have received 36 editorial proposals in search of a review, and more than half of the time I have agreed to do so because I really appreciate, and recognize the quality of the material and the author's work. Sometimes I have had to reject some proposals because I do not have the time to sit down to read the complete book, and just on two occasions because the books were not related to anything of my practice and it did not seem correct to me to review them.
Here below I share for you a brief list of the books for which I have had the opportunity to make an endorsement, which certainly makes it a "list of suggested titles", below each title I place the link to purchase the book.
Also, you can (obviously, lol) check my own books "The Magical Art of Crafting Charm Bags" available HERE and HERE, and "Manifestation Magic: 21 Rituals, Spells, and Amulets for Abundance, Prosperity, and Wealth" Available HERE and HERE.

Horse Magick: Spells and Rituals for Self-Empowerment, Protection, and Prosperity.
(by Lawren Leo & Domenic Leo)
The spirit of the horse exists in the subconscious minds of humans and takes shape in various forms, whether as a symbol of fertility in the land, as in Celtic mythology, or as a psychopomp, which leads the dead to the next world. The horse has made its way into the current of our collective unconscious as a universal archetype. Horse Magick contains spells, rituals, chants, and meditations for many purposes, loosely based around equine imagery. Numerous traditions are represented, as are many deities, including Athena, Epona, and Baba Yaga. No contact with actual horses is required.

The Art Cosmic: The Magic of Traditional Astrology.
(by Levi Rowland)
Astrology has impacted civilizations worldwide and throughout history. It has greatly influenced the philosophy, religion, art, and magic of Western culture and has inspired countless decisions in the lives of people from every level of society. Traditional Western astrology differs from your typical daily Sun-sign horoscopes. While it still follows the course of the Zodiac through the Heavens, it focuses on the powers of the seven classical planets—great celestial spheres that the ancients gazed upon for guidance and wisdom.
The wisdom of astrology is a path for humans to understand the sacred. You aren’t just naming stars. You are discovering gods. You are seeking angels. You are seeing reflections of your own experience—your hopes and dreams. By working with the systems of magical astrology, you will connect to the infinite divinity of creation and find that golden light within yourself that binds you to the soul of the Universe!
