I guess there is.
Professor Plum, in the Library, with the Wrench?
The mysterious quest continues...
More news as I have it.

Walt,
Wonderful insight into HSWT.
It is indeed a Marvelous Ritual.
I think the value just went up a couple of hundred.

Gee, thanks for pointing that out!

:)

I'm interested but I will wait for it to be re-released.

I think the point is that it won't be re-released, so if you're interested seek it out used. Walt

I also have tried to get it for several years. Several times I was told to contact Brother Shadow but I never got a response back from him.
I first became aware of him through his works in the orginal Invocations.

OK, after reading how people want it (and I don't look at it much) I have put the set back up at $125 in the books fs. If it doesn't go quickly I'll probably change my mind again and pull it back.

OK, that didn't last long.

OMG!!!!
I missed it again!


:(

I have "mind games" that apparently is the origin of the rock ritual and I have Stuart Cumberland's "psychological seance" (which is a hypnotic guided visualization) which was apparently inspired by HSWT.
I'm not asking for any secrets to be given away, but would anyone be willing to answer some questions about the general outline of the HSWT set-up; specifically in regards to the use of the rock ritual in the seance and any guided visualizations?
If you would please PM me.

After watching my copy of "Have Seance Will Travel" fly off my book shelf and out the door, I've decided to part with my entire spook library. Anyone interested to see a listing, PM me with your email address, so
I can send the entire library as a PDF attached file. Survived years of dusty book stores, magic auctions, CraigsList, the big auction site, yard sales and know-it-all magic dealers to assemble this unique
collection of books, manuscripts and notes from the well-known and obscure authors and performers who entertain with ghosts and seances.

OMG! They just removed my posting of the Spook Library from this section of the Café. Sorry for that!

Would anyone who has a copy that they are willing to sell PM me?

I'm now considering letting go of my copy of Have Seance Will Travel
if I decide to part with it, I'll put it up in the Make a Deal section,
but it's in good condition and just wanted to give a heads up before the goat sacrifice.

This is a pity. I've seen wkitwizard's library, and it would make you drool with envy.
If anyone is serious about the art, and wants to buy the entire "course materials" then they should take a serious look.
A third of the collection would even make a reasonable investment, especially given the current topic.

Thanks DocSteve. I plan on photographing the book covers, CDs, manuscripts and notes-then list the over ninety items as a lot on the big auction site this weekend. If you enjoy spending long hours on web searches, many trips to dusty old book stores, exhausting hours at "magic swap meets" and corresponding with elite book sellers who can't wait to rip you off, then regard this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as waste of your time. Otherwise, JUMP ON IT! I've spent the over twenty years acquiring this massive library-you get the benefit of my labor-in one single purchase. You won't see this happen again.

I just bought one and should be posted this weekend. YAY!

That means on Monday I will start my magickal ritual ...checking the mailbox several times until it arrives, both before and after the mailman comes just in case I missed something.

Congrats!

Got it.
I Read it through once (it's a quick read) and I'll probably read it through again later tonight.

It's great, of course. It's interesting because I have several pieces that are based on it, as well as the source of the opening ritual and the inspiration for it. Some of these things I will probably (at least initially) use within the HSWT format. I can't actually think of anything specific that I read that was new to me, however something about the whole gestalt and how it was written up, I feel, gives me some very valuable insight into making this work. Also, of course, it's always good to read the source material when possible.

Actually, if I hadn't have read/heard some of the 'fancier' versions of this type of seance, and given them a try, first I am quite sure that I wouldn't fully understand the power inherent in this.

EDIT: For those of us who just got this, now is the time to do a google search:
site:www.themagiccafe.com Have seance will travel
All these discussions now make sense

There is currently a copy for sale in Let's Make a Magic Deal.
