This book is fantasy-fiction-style educational activity material for the young fans of Harry Potter, Descendants, Sofia the First, and other books and films of the magic fantasy genre. Does your kid want to go to a 'real' magic school, like Harry Potter and other characters of fantasy fiction? Well tell him/her: You can take a course of real magic at home, with this real magic school textbook! And luckily for you and me, I am the author of a number of textbooks written for my courses at one of the best magic schools of Middle Earth, the North Landing Academy of Magic Arts. Even though I graduated from North Landing, I’ll never send my son there. The place is infested with dragons, something large is crawling in the underground vaults every time the castle floods during the full moon, and the food is not as great as fantasy fiction authors want you to think. No. My baby stays here, and I’ll homeschool him in magic. So should you. If your kid is new to magic training, advise him/her to start with my Invincible Magic Book of Spells. In Star Magic we build on the ideas first introduced in Invincible Magic. The spells in this book use only safe everyday objects and substances you have at home (like milk, sugar, paper, tree leaves, rocks, etc.); absolutely no use of fire, or any ingredients or items you may not have in your kitchen at the moment (like rosewater, or sage, or a crystal ball). These spells are not based on any witchcraft, New Age, or religious lore. Any esoteric concepts mentioned in this book are introduced in the context of the history of ideas (like ancient Egyptian mythology), or popular culture (like Zodiac signs, or palm-reading). This book will help kids develop imagination and engage in fantasy play, which is vital for their intellectual and emotional development; learn a few scientific facts (What causes tides?), some history (Stonehenge), brush up some geometry (horizontal-vertical, parallel-perpendicular, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional) and more. develop their interest in reading, and grow their reading fluency with an easy, 1st-2nd grade core vocabulary (reading levels 3-4). Have you ever wondered if ABRACADABRA is a real magic word? Well, once your child reads this book, they’ll have a definitive answer to this question, as well as to many other questions, like: What is Ouroboros? What is the meaning of the word Zodiac? How do solstices and equinoxes happen? How to make your own sundial? Which runes did Vikings use for magic? What are the names of the stars in Orion’s Belt? When was the hourglass invented? How do fortune-tellers read your palm? Which constellation is Aldebaran in? How do you make a Möbius strip? How do you say 'Forever Grateful,' or 'Let there be light' in Latin? How to find North, South, East, and West by the sun? What is the difference between Astronomy and Astrology, Chemistry and Alchemy? Which stars were considered the most powerful in the ancient world? What’s so strange about the Uffington white horse? What is the infinity sign? ...And more!
