The obstacles which held up my life always seemed to be mysterious, invisible things — ghosts. The spell for release is in two parts: 1) The wish. Trying to change yourself and trying to deny yourself are equally futile. The only power that will ever make you really go comes from your own deep wishes, interests, and desires. 2) The craft. If you don’t have practical techniques: for problem-solving, planning, getting your hands on information and contacts; for coping with human feelings that aren’t going to go away; for getting the emotional support risk-taking requires; and for figuring out what your wishes really are, your desires will dissipate like steam without an engine. So, with the lessons of Wishcraft, no more ghosts. Real wishes. Real problems. Real solutions. Real changes. — David Finacom
