First published in 1951, The Malay Magician employs historical and comparative data to unravel the different elements – pagan, Hindu and Muslim – in a complex system of Malay magic, as it exists in the Federation of Malay in general and more specifically as it exists in the Malay States of Kelantan, Perak, Pahang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan. Tied up with the concept of magic is the Malay magician, whose many functions and roles in the society are discussed in detail. This book will be of interest to students of anthropology, sociology, history and cultural studies.

This book offers an integrated study of the texts and images of illustrated Malay manuscripts on magic and divination from private and public collections in Malaysia, the UK and Indonesia. Containing some of the rare examples of Malay painting, these manuscripts provide direct evidence for the intercultural connections between the Malay region, other parts of Southeast Asia and the rest of the world. In this richly illustrated volume many images and texts are gathered for the first time, making this book essential reading for all those interested in the practice of magic and divination, and the history of Malay, Southeast Asian and Islamic manuscript art.

Sometimes, it's not easy to find the silver lining. While positivity is about looking at the bright side of things, the magic mindset embraces and accepts that it is not always possible to do so. Sometimes things get so bleak that our mind refuses to accept that there can be a silver lining. In this book, Preeti Shenoy gives you a set of principles for every area of life, designed to help us shift our perspective from hopelessness to hope, from despondency to joy, from cynicism to belief - a belief that change is coming, and things are not as bad as they seem. Perfect reading for the difficult times that we are living in, The Magic Mindset is full of tips, suggestions, fun exercises and practical advice on career, family, health, relationships, finances, social media, and more. It also includes inspiring stories and anecdotes from Preeti's own life. A cornerstone for all those who want to change their outlook, The Magic Mindset helps us build a purposeful and joyful life.

A survey of the evolution of esotericism in South-East Asia from 1400 - 1600 in the peninsula of Malaya, this book equips the novice on South-East Asian Religion and Magic with a basic understanding of Sufism, Wizardry and Sorcery in the minimal, and how the esoteric dimension of it all came into being. The works and scholars included or mention are Ibn Arabi, Ibn Sinna, Imam Surawardi, The Wali of Al'Rahman as well as many others. The book examines at length the archetypes of Shaman/Cunning man/Witch, Sorcerer, Dokun/Wizard and Sufi Sage and of course the differences in the Sufi Saint and the Malay Sorcerer. This is done unbiasedly in order to understand how the mistake of syncretism has effected the views people hold of the Malay mystics and Sages in general. This is examined exclusively from 1400 to 1600 BCE. The result may surprise you and make for interesting conversation.
