Publisher's summary

Renowned spiritual teacher and co-founder of The Way of the Rose Perdita Finn teaches the art and healing power of connecting with the dead, as she guides listeners through the magical process of conversing with the unseen world.

What if you could live in a world where the guidance of those who were gone was available, right at your very fingertips? It's possible, if we are open to it. Anyone can reclaim the forgotten guidance of the dead, and anyone can return to the realm of magic and miracles. In Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World, author, spiritual teacher, and co-founder of The Way of the Rose Perdita Finn reveals that life is beginningless, love is endless, and those who have passed don’t truly go anywhere when they die. Weaving together memoir, history, and a non-denominational spirituality based in ecology, Finn invites listeners to live the experience that the stories of our lives are much older, bigger, and more merciful than we have been led to believe.

Take Back the Magic takes the listener on a journey of healing, possibility, and love, as the story of how Finn healed her relationship with her bitter patriarchal father long after his death unfolds over the course of thirteen moving chapters. Along the way, listeners will learn how they, too, can reconnect with the generous guidance of the soul’s long story through deep time, recovering their lost relationships with their ancestors and the Earth itself. Throughout, Finn shares guidance, tips, and practical advice that will aid listeners in forging their own relationships with those who have passed, as she invites every listener to reconnect with their own inner knowing and to call forth magic from the most ancient parts of humanity.

An inspiring invitation to healing in this life, and to experience that we are never alone, Take Back the Magic shows that the whole world is simply souls reaching out to and finding each other—and no one is ever truly lost to us, if we allow ourselves to begin our own conversations with the unseen world.

Love It

I don’t leave many reviews but this book deserves one. In a world gone dark that so many feel has grown cold Taking Back the Magic is just the beacon of light to help guide humanity back to themselves. The old paradigms are crumbling and new ones that are balanced, sustainable and meaningful are in dire need. Perdita Finn shows all of us that the magic of believing alive on this planet is all around us every moment, when we learn how to look and listen again.

just wow

Exactly what I needed to hear, at the exact right moment. Thank you, Perdita Finn.

A magical love story

Hold on through the beginning, which was a little abrasive, (her intense disdain for her father that doesn't have any context yet) because it is so worth it. The story gets better and better, as so many magical insights and connections are made. Her life is both common and extraordinary, but is made so much more meaning -full as her connection with the dead and even past lives reveal much more extended story lines. Those story lines open the reader to a much more vast and animate world than the one they started in. Grateful for her sharing.

endlessly grateful

Thank you Perdita for birthing this gift into the World. For expanding me and all my lifetimes.

A Must Read

The story was informative, practical, and Magical. I was distracted by the voice at times. A bit too theatrical for me.

Incredibly inspiring

Perdita is such a natural story teller, as she weaves together her life story with deep truth. Thank you for the gem.

Incredible

I don’t even know what to say. I have a renewed sense of death but also living. Aside from increased faith in the presence of my loved ones on the other side, I really loved the awareness brought to the connection to all living things and our rebirth. I hold deeper faith in what I do in life and in my care into all beings and the earth. Perdita recalls stories that are intriguing, engaging, and relatable. The way she shared it is like poetry. She is unapologetic in her truths, her femininity, and beauty that she continually sees and to which builds meaning and life. Thank you for a great story, to which I will listen again!

Changed my life and how I see the world

This book found me at the most perfect time. It is such a sacred and beautiful work of art.

A clear and honest guide

I’ve participated in circles where we dance to connect with our ancestors, or meditate, or get down on all fours and howl to reconnect with them. It hasn’t resonated, it hasn’t led to something that I could hold on to and integrate.

The wisdom and magic of this book feels so familiar to me. I felt my soul coming alive with “yes, this” over and over again as I listened. Thank you Perdita. I am touched and inspired. You have illuminated my path with this work.

Fantastic!

What a gem! Perdita weaves story and remembrance so beautiful while waking us all up to see our own dead. The idea that we are fully supported in this life, in all our lifetimes, brings such comfort and curiosity. I took my time reading it to savor its sweetness. Thank you, Perdita for sharing your story and enabling us to see through a new wise perspective.
