5 STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH. I cherish this book. It's wonderful -- quite literally, 'full of wonders'. Although it purports to reveal the secrets of 'chicken whispering' and does, it goes a great deal further than that. Those fortunate enough to have gallinaceous companions will gain much from a thoughtful reading. So will anyone else who seeks to enhance their kinship with other living creatures, humans included. The deepest and most precious secret to achieving that end is the development of an empathic connection, a process which Mr. Conley details in a manner both concise and poetic. I wish I could give him at least ten stars in return for the joy his work has given me. Like all great authors, he is a heart whisperer. —Natasha K.

Egyptian ideograms, our Latin alphabet, and essential secrets of the self
While reading The Egyptian Secrets In Your Name, I began to realize that the secrets in letters of my name, as in every other symbol set I encounter, are to be found within me. They remain occult only to the extent that they're unexplored and the best way to reveal the personal meaning communicated by any symbol is to make a conscious decision to allow the unconscious to operate freely. Even the most 'common' name becomes unique when you view the letters as images, allowing your own intuition to connect with their latent significance. Our intuition speaks to us through a kind of psychic poetry. Each individual is an author in this regard. As Craig Conely demonstrates using the method he's devised, an ancient symbology can be as relevant to us today as it was to to those for whom it was designed. A person's name is a private stanza of truth about the essential self. This book helped me to see mine, showing me how to look for Egyptian ideograms evoked by our Latin alphabet and engage with their energy. —Natasha at Amazon
The quest to decode the individual letters in a name goes way, way back. Our research triggered a realization that every name encodes an ancient Egypitan poem. As the original publication of our findings is freshly out of print, and as it was originally intended exclusively for professional magicians and mentalists, we were inspired to offer a revised and expanded edition containing twice the number of example readings, so that anyone can perform the technique for friends. No memory or guesswork is required. You’ll understand the hidden Egyptian meaning of your name instantly, and you’ll be able to dramatically interpret friends’ names. You don’t have to be a poet or expert on symbolism to shine with our technique. You’ll simply say aloud what you secretly know the letters to mean. Here are the details.

"Superb! I have been initiated into the feline mysteries. I hear my name called and let it wash over me, pause, and recede like waves crashing against the cliffs. Unmovable. 10/10 would buy again." —Will at Amazon
Whoever you are, Will, and whatever name you don't answer to, enjoy your nine lives!

We're honored that Vegas magician Creed talked up our Field Guide to Identifying Unicorns by Sound and our Magic Words: A Dictionary. We actually once attended a secret fire ceremony deep in the Nevada desert with Creed and, no kidding, we witnessed him reach out and seize one of the zillion stars in the Milky Way. (You sure can see a stunning number of stars from way beyond the lights of Vegas. Surely the Universe won't begrudge Creed's snatching one. It was a moment we'll never forget.)

In the style of Yahoo!answers, "Does it mean anything if a guy remembers that you collaborated on a book?" Yes—it means a lot! We were delighted to receive a Jinx mascot pin in the mail, from a friend with whom we wrote a guide to the most remarkable magazine in stage magic's history: The JINX Companion. Thanks for making our day, Gordon!

"I enjoyed 'Astragalomancy' very much. To me, it's a classic template for approaching divination. Craig Conley chose a tool (a pair of dice) that's easy to obtain and use, and he devised an elegantly simple system for employing it to precipitate intuitive insights. This system is informed by Mr. Conley's vast historical and metaphysical knowledge base, his epistemological point of view, and his expectations for the process, but as with every occult methodology properly applied, it will change in the hands of each individual practitioner. Anyone should be able to use the tool and the system to access their own intuitive faculties -- provided they are willing to relax and trust those faculties. To 'divine successfully is to transcend conscious thought and arrive at a personally relevant interpretations. ' Astragalomancy' illustrates, both figuratively and literally, how that can be done." —Natasha

We're honored that Bobby Bræger (screenwriter, genealogist, lost film hunter, and hauntologist on the cheap) considers the fractued mirror of our Abecedarian blog on Tumblr to be "one of five or six vital blogs" on that medium.

We're honored that upon abandoning his Tumblr presence, Dr. John Pistelli, the novelist and professor in Minneapolis, called our Tumblr mirror of the Abecedarian weblog his favorite:
My favorite follow remains @danskjavlarna, with his magical or even magickal ongoing image archive (not to mention his private generosity).

We're delighted that Clint of Fiddler's Green zine said over on Instagram that he smiles every time he sees our video about strange anagrams from alphabet dice. We're also delighted that the editor of Yogurt Culture Zine, Brian Kelly Denton, called our video "wholesome."
