Dunn's work is approachable, plain and clear and combines a rare insight of a professional linguist engaged in magical practice.

Apart from some intuited techniques that I knew from before, I got some food for thought to combine it via synergy of an arsenal of tools used to achieve aims: mainly in Theurgy and street-magick, when the semiotic web of adverts, entities, energies, psychomorphs, human minds, and interlocking beings, dimensions, genius loci is dense and force one to engage all the time.

Reminded of old de Saussere's ideas, Korzybski and Hayakawa, as well as Wierzbicka book on universals, primes in linguistics, 'Lost Languages', cultural translation and interpretation it is overall a great feature and pleasant to read.

Combination of all these tools and more are highly successful in gnosis arretos (silent language mentioned by Proclous) in Theion Ergon, as well as communication with spirits, not to mention conscious usage of languge amongs our human tribe! Hah! ( )

Patrick Dunn is both a magician and a linguist. With that in mind, just think of this book as A Linguist's Exploration of Magic rather than A Magician's Exploration of Linguistics, as the subtitle would have it. While Magic, Power, Language, Symbol explores magic in some depth, it will only give you a taste of what linguistics is like.

Dunn begins the book by discussing how applying semiotics (the study of symbols) can increase a spell's efficacy. From there, he uses linguistics to examine symbols and language, the bases of magic. Dunn focuses on ceremonial magic and several of the middle chapters are devoted to topics such as Enochian magic, the Qabala, and gematria. If, like me, you're not all that interested in ceremonial magic, these chapters might seem a bit long. Don't skip them though; Dunn includes interesting nuggets such as how to use glossolalia in magic. The early and last chapters are more general and will probably appeal to a broader audience. ( )
