About the author
Al G. Manning wrote two practical guides reissued by Penguin Publishing Group, Helping Yourself with ESP: Tap the Power of Extra-Sensory Perception and Make it Work for You and Helping Yourself with White Witchcraft. The first presents ESP as an ordinary human faculty behind déjà vu and hunches, and offers exercises meant to develop it; the second reframes older ritual material in plain modern language, aimed at readers who want a straightforward, non-academic introduction to spellwork for practical ends such as love, money, and protection. Both titles belong to a long-running strand of American popular occult publishing that treats magic and psychic ability as learnable skills rather than inherited gifts, presented without historical or scholarly apparatus. The books are catalogued under spiritualism and witchcraft-wicca respectively, and together suggest an author working in the accessible, how-to register rather than the scholarly one.
