Foreword By Cyndi Dale
Think of everything extraordinary that you have experienced in your life. Were these events anything less than magical? I recall the birth of my newborn son, specifically the moment he reached upward to stroke my cheek. My heart stretched beyond the limits of the Universe. I felt the same every time he would craft a dandelion necklace, which I would wear until it fell off. There is a certain type of magic in the everyday. There is another type of power, however, that must be invoked. It is witchery, or the practice of sacred magic, and it is this that Pamela Chen’s book is about. Before I introduce you further to this concept, however, I’ll share an example of its potential. Years after my son was born, I was a single parent. Broke, I was struggling to outfit our apartment. I wanted a couch, pots and pans, maybe a carpet for the hardwood floor. Unfortunately, my income didn’t go that far. I wrote down my list. I’d been exposed to witchery by then and was already well into my career as an energy healer. Still, I felt rather silly waving my hand over the paper while reciting an intention, or a spell. I’d not been trained in practical sorcery, yet I believed in my holy connection to Source and that because of that bond I could command energy to meet a desire. The next day, while driving around xv
xvi — Foreword
the neighborhood, every item I needed was laid out on different lawns with a sign. “Free.” The carpet was a particularly handy find, as it was brand new. As the owner explained, it was too big for her floor and it was too late to take it back. Free! Though all types of magic evoke wonder, the appearance of the magic carpet proved that we are all invested with the authority to summon and direct energy. This is not an ability to take lightly. What can help can also harm. This is why it’s so important to develop and manage our magical skills with the sage advice provided by Pamela Chen in this book, Chakra Magic. In these pages are eons of ancient knowledge and the tools needed to put that wisdom to good use. In fact, you could even call this manuscript a sort of modern grimoire, or manual of magic witchery. Witchery is a beautiful discipline. Basically, it is an art that builds bridges between the earth, cosmos, and you. When we occupy our place in the center of the above and below, we’re able to accomplish more than we can by ignoring our birthright as co-creators in this universe. Focusing our divine power can lead to everyday miracles. We can raise enough energy to improve our mood, stick to our diet, or walk a companion animal. Then again, it’s okay to think of bigger magics we’d like to manifest. How about landing that much-needed job? Why not heal entrenched trauma or clear our land of negative influences? Why not improve this world? Pamela Chen is the ultimate guide to the process of lassoing our inner power toward positive ends for several reasons. First, she gets real life. Second, she is a genuine witch. Third, she represents the most important guidepost for developing your skill at magical witchery: ethics.
Foreword — xvii
Though the studied and experienced witch can pretty much do what they want, the true witch—the witch about truth—knows the job is to serve as a conduit for goodness. With that in mind, you can feel safe in learning and practicing the rich variety of concepts, rituals, activities, and tools that Pamela shares within this grimoire. It will come easy, however, for one specific reason: Pamela uses the seven in-body chakras to structure your education. Chakras are subtle energy centers that manage our physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. Each is found in a certain locale within the body and performs its own duties. Because of their distinct jobs, each can operate as a unique vessel for creating magic. Pamela has organized her book so that almost every major chapter features a chakra, which she describes in detail, including its Hindu name and related color, sound, and affirmation as well as corresponding tarot cards, herbs and oils, crystals, and more. With an emphasis on how to harmonize with rather than control the invisible energies of the universe through each chakra, Pamela then shows you how to focus your desires through magical rituals, meditations, tarot card spreads, crystal amplifications, and so much more. I was extra thrilled to discover the presence of chakras in her book because I have been a chakra aficionado since I was a child. As a youngster, I used to see balls of colored light with my physical eyes in and around my family members. There was a certain sphere that was almost always red in my mom’s hips. Now, I know that this was her first chakra, the subtle center governing physicality and security. That was probably always lit up because my mother was in survival mode most of the time. It’s not easy to chase after three small children. But, when that scarlet color turned muddy, off I would scamper. Experience had taught me that her anger and frustration would soon get the better of her and I’d get into trouble without even trying.
xviii — Foreword
Back then, I didn’t have words for the chakras. As a white Wonder Bread Norwegian Lutheran, I lacked context. My mother and father simply thought I was odd. Back then, that made me feel bad about myself. Now, I am proud to be part of the club that understands the brilliant vessels of magic that are the chakras. I’m so infatuated, in fact, that I’ve written nearly forty books about energy healing, and most of them include analyses of the chakras. But nowhere have I ever heard such a brilliant summary of the chakras as in Pamela’s book. As she puts it, every chakra is a map to Source. That means that when we employ our inner powers energetically through a chakra, we will automatically create good, not bad, if that is the intention within our heart. I believe that this is what we are all called to do: formulate magic that will bring us to a greater level of excellence while summoning more kindness into the world. It is a beautiful goal to become a master of your own magical potential. With Pamela’s guidance, I believe you’ll find that the more often you interact with her teachings, insights, and practices, yet another event will occur. You’ll turn into your own magic.
Introduction
Welcome to the Magic Within You’ve opened this book for a reason. Something inside of you knows there is more than just what we can see. There is more to your energy, your intuition, and your ability to create magic in your life. It is not a coincidence that you are reading this right now. It is a calling. And you are ready to answer the call. You are ready to take your magic to the next level by working with what I call your energetic portals, or internal energy centers—your chakras. The key to your power and manifesting your deepest desires is within you. You don’t need to look outside of yourself for magic; you are the magic. Your chakras are not just energy centers; they are the gateways to your highest potential. They hold the secret to your healing, intuition, creativity, and ability to manifest the life you desire. Whether you are new to this work, deep on your spiritual path, or at the beginning of your energetic awakening rooted in sacred practice, you are about to activate the magic within you like never before. Chakras are subtle energy centers described in yogic and Tantric texts as part of the energetic body. I like to think of chakras as our energetic organs. The chakras are just as important as the physical organs in our body that help us function. Most spiritual courses and energetic programs teach about chakras because of their importance. 1
2 — Introduction
They were actually one of the first topics I learned when I got into energy healing and magic over twenty years ago. Magic and energy are hard to explain, right? It’s not something most of us can see, feel, or touch unless we have been trained in it or have already had our gifts awakened. Working with the chakras is a really easy way for new magical practitioners to step into the mystical space because they are a clearly structured system. Each chakra is related to specific emotions and experiences covering all aspects of life, making this an amazing magical system for anything that you want to heal or manifest. Truthfully, working with chakras can be super simple or really in-depth. On your chakra magic path, we are going to aim for the middle road, where you will receive ancient wisdom of the chakras (they were not discovered recently even if they sound like New Age magic) while incorporating modern rituals and ways to work with the energy portals. I didn’t want this book to read like an encyclopedia or require you to have a dictionary to translate. As someone who learned English as a second language, I like books that are easily digestible and practical, so that is what I will try to deliver to you. I did include a lot of Sanskrit in this book, like the names of the chakras, because I believe it is important to honor my studies and the ancient lineage of how chakras were taught to me. You don’t have to remember them all, and sometimes even I have trouble pronouncing the names. Just do your best when you are chanting. I have also sprinkled in practices and channeled knowledge from my own magical journey. This is information you can immediately implement to transform your life.
Working with the Book In chapter 1, you will explore the roots of chakra magic, which came from the ancient Hindu system, and unlock the histories of the energetic centers. My business partner, Alexandra Hanly, who is an

expert in the study of these Vedic practices, will be dropping by to share her knowledge. I want you to have a direct transmission from a yoga and Vedic expert so that you can receive a powerful infusion of knowledge. We will be breaking down how to connect the wisdom of the chakras from the Vedic system to modern witchery and magic. Then, in chapter 2, you will be introduced to the magical tools we will be working with on your chakra magic path. Chapter 3 is all about activating your sacred witch powers and how making choices will play a big part in your magical adventure. Then, from chapter 4 to chapter 10, you will journey through the seven main chakras and receive transformational practices and practical rituals that can help you change your life. Chapter 11 is where you will pull it all together and work with all seven chakras for healing, manifestation, and evolving your magic. There isn’t one way to work with this book. I advise you to follow your intuition. You can work from the root chakra up to the crown chakra and then tackle chapter 11, or you can skip around to whatever practices and rituals call to you. If you are new to magic or chakras, I invite you to journey from root to crown. This way you can fully understand and respect the energetic system you are working with. You do not need to do every ritual or practice in each chapter, although I recommend at least the meditation journey and the tarot spread to help you connect deeper with the portals. Sometimes, you will be called to work with a specific chakra because it makes you happy. At other times, you might feel resistant to working with a chakra because it would get you outside of your comfort zone, and that subconsciously feels hard and scary. If resistance comes up and you have thoughts like “This chakra is so boring” or “I don’t need to work with that center,” then it might be a good idea to reflect on this. Maybe this resistance is coming

up because that is the chakra that you are supposed to be working with, and the avoidance is an act of self-sabotage. I know that this happens to me a lot, and for the longest time, I did not want to work with the root chakra because I was avoiding the healing and it didn’t sound like fun. Again, your studies are magical, so follow your intuition. Go with what you feel, and everything will work out perfectly. As you are working with your chakras, you will notice that they are something you are familiar with; this system is nothing new. It is a remembrance of your magic. And the more you learn about chakra magic, the more there is to learn. Seriously, working with these energetic portals has changed my life and helped me manifest incredible things, like my magical business and my eighteen-year relationship. They helped me understand energy, magic, and spirituality. It is my wish that you have a ton of fun on this journey and also manifest some miracles into your life. I believe in magic, and I believe in you.
Chapter 1
Unlocking the History of the Chakras How crazy would it be if we all walked around and were able to “see” chakras? Looking at a stranger from afar, we’d be able to tell how their day is going and what’s happening in their life. That seems a bit too much, right? I think that’s why most people cannot see chakras with their physical eyes and can only access them by intention and focus. These energy portals are not just made up of spiritual concepts; they are vortexes that interact with our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. I have seen the swirling lights of chakras in my clients after a really powerful online weekend retreat session, and yes, it was very overwhelming. I opened my eyes, and on my computer, all I could see were their chakras for a few seconds. It was such a magical experience. Not only could I see the chakras, but I could also feel their vibrations through the computer. There are many different teachings around what these energy centers look like, and I believe they are seen in more than one way. In spiritual traditions, chakras are often visualized as spinning wheels of light in the back and front of the body, located along the spine. Ancient texts like the Upanishads describe the chakras as lotus flowers ( padma in Sanskrit), and that’s how I usually see them too. The chakras are nonphysical energy centers, not actual physical 5

structures in the body. If you view chakras a different way or as a different color than what I describe in this book, you are not wrong. Trust your personal experiences and intuition when connecting to your chakras while taking into consideration classical teachings that have been preserved through lineage. What you will receive through the guided meditations and journeys are only some of the ways that I work with chakras. We are multidimensional, and energy work is unique to each person. While traditional texts describe each chakra with a specific symbol and form, some practitioners may receive intuitive images in meditation. So, if your chakras appear as fruits or animals, it is okay; flow with it. As you work with the energy portals in this book, you will get to experience their magic and see for yourself. Some traditions suggest that our body and aura hold 50–108 energy centers and that each of these centers resonates to the frequency of the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet.1 Other traditions have expanded the understanding to 114 energy centers, with 108 of these residing in the body.2 That is also why a lot of the mantra practices invite us to chant 108 times to activate the energy centers of our body. We will only work with the main seven chakras inside Chakra Magic. This is a system I’ve created for myself through years of working with the chakras on my magical path. I first started my chakra journey with the seven main energy centers, and let me tell you, they are powerful and more than enough to get you started with, or elevate, your magical practice. We will work with the seven portals: root chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat 1.

chakra, third eye chakra, and crown chakra. From the root of your spine to the crown of your head is the traditional way of working with the chakras, and that is how the chapters are structured for in-depth practice. Again, if you are a newbie witch, I would invite you to follow the traditional way first. If you are an advanced chakra practitioner, feel free to follow your magical soul and see which chakra is calling out to you.
From Vedic Wisdom to Witchery Much of my later studies of the chakras came from the Vedas, which are a collection of ancient texts that form the foundation of many spiritual traditions, including Hinduism, and are among the oldest sacred writings in the world. While Hinduism uses a lot of the teachings from the Vedas, the influence goes beyond that. The Vedas have several examples within the scriptures themselves that support the idea that Vedic wisdom is not restricted to any one group and is for universal use as long as you respect the lineage. In the nineteenth century, Maharshi Dayananda Saraswati, the founder of Arya Samaj, challenged many of the restrictive interpretations of the Vedas, emphasizing that the Vedas are for all humanity, not just a select group. He argued that the knowledge within them was meant to uplift and enlighten all sincere seekers, regardless of caste, gender, or nationality.3 I’m really glad that the wisdom of the Vedas is open to all and more accessible, because they hold incredible knowledge. Have you wondered why we were not equipped with a blueprint for being human? This has been a question that I’ve asked ever since I was little, and it was answered through the teachings of the Vedas. Yes, we actually were given instructions on how to be human. Veda comes 3.

from the Sanskrit root “vid,” which means “wisdom” or “knowledge.” Through my spiritual studies, I believe these ancient texts were channeled by divine sages over five thousand years ago. While originally an oral tradition, the texts were later written down, with early versions recorded around 1500 BCE. They were written in ancient Sanskrit, not the modern Sanskrit that is in use right now, which only the most learned Brahmin pundits, Vedic scholars and priests could read, which shows how old these teachings are. Luckily for us, they have been translated so that any spiritual seeker can read the teachings now. The Vedas were not written by one author. Instead, they are a collection of works compiled over a great and unknown period of time, then written between 1500 and 500 BCE.
The Vedas The four Vedas are as follows: Rigveda (the Veda of hymns), Yajurveda (the Veda of rituals and sacrifices), Samaveda (the Veda of chants and melodies), and Atharvaveda (the Veda of healing formulas and everyday spiritual practices).4 Each Veda contains layers of text: the Samhitas, which are hymns and mantras; the Brahmanas, which explain the meaning of the rituals; and the Aranyakas, which transition ritual into meditation.5 Later, the Upanishads were composed as the Vedantic concluding portions, turning the focus from outer ceremony toward inner realization.6 Though the Vedas follow a structured spiritual 4.

framework, any comparisons to other systems should be made with caution and reverence for their distinct roots. Much like the Vedas, we witches have our rituals, invocations, and the study of magical elements. Some of the deep teachings of the Vedas that I connect with the most are the yajnas (fire rituals), Jyotisha (Vedic astrology), and chanting with mantras (something you learn in this book), which are energy formulas that activate divine frequency through voice and breath. The Vedas are also the pillars of yoga, ayurveda, and meditation practices. They are a guide to understanding the body’s subtle energy systems, like the chakras, and bridging the connection between the physical, mental, and spiritual realms. To really transmit the wisdom of the Vedas and chakra magic to you, I would like to introduce you to my best friend and business partner, Alexandra Hanly, who has studied Vedantic and yogic philosophy extensively for over a decade, drawing on direct tutelage, deep engagement with the sacred texts, and lived spiritual practice. Her work integrates this foundation with her practice of Jyotisha, or Vedic astrology, to guide seekers toward clarity, self-knowledge, and cosmic alignment with their dharmic path and karmic unfolding. Historically, Vedic knowledge was transmitted orally through a guru-disciple tradition, and through her studies, she has received this type of learning. Alexandra is the one who taught me many of the traditions and wisdom of ancient spiritual teachings. Soak in the words and magic from her in the next section; I hope you enjoy the sacred wisdom as much as I do.
Sacred Teaching by Alexandra Hanly The chakra system is among the oldest spiritual technologies still actively practiced today. That alone speaks volumes. It is a testament to their efficacy, precision, and timeless applications that they continue to guide seekers across the world today.
10 — Chapter 1
The chakras are embedded within the ancient texts that guided humanity’s deepest explorations of consciousness. The earliest philosophical foundations for the chakra system are loosely described in the Vedas, with more explicit references appearing in the Upanishads, the contemplative writings known as Vedanta, or the “end of the Veda.” Here, ritual gives way to direct philosophical inquiry into the nature of the Self, prana, and the subtle body. These insights were later developed in Tantric texts from roughly the ninth century onward, such as the Shat-Chakra-Nirupana, a Sanskrit work that outlines the classical structure of the chakras. Chakra wisdom likely stretches much further back than any written source, however, through oral traditions. In Sanskrit, the term chakra means “wheel” or “disk,” yet its implication extends far beyond shape. These teachings did not originate with modern seekers. The information was received by the rishis, ancient seers who attuned their inner perception so finely they could access divine wisdom directly through deep meditation and spiritual discipline. The expanded system of 114 chakras emerged through yogic insight and meditative revelation across millennia from the Vedas’ original seven. Each one corresponds to more than just a physical location or gland. Each one is a concentrated field of encoded energy with its own intelligence, frequency, and purpose. It is important to express that chakras are not psychological metaphors. They are tangible cosmological gateways. In yogic and Tantric understanding, they serve as centers of Shakti, where pure, primordial Source energy moves through our vessels of incarnation and animates them. Within the human body, chakras act as processing hubs for pranic currents (vayus), which flow through subtle channels (nadis) that intersect at these energy vortices to create concentrated fields of encoded energy for specific

purposes that lend to the varying states of our human and spiritual experiences. While many in the West approach the seven master chakras as a sequence of personal development, the original transmission is far more expansive. Each chakra is a world in itself, a realm of vibration through which consciousness takes form. They are multidimensional spheres of awareness, each with its own intelligence, frequency, and initiatory potential for awakening layered aspects of the soul within the human earthbound body. They draw us deeper into soul embodiment, where the Divine reveals itself in our everyday lives. The chakra system, along with the broader body of yogic and Vedic knowledge, was channeled by realized masters. These teachings were passed down through oral transmission and sacred initiatory lineages as a guide for navigating the human condition and earthly existence, regardless of era, culture, or collective circumstance. These cycles of time are known as the Yugas. The doctrine of the Yugas is introduced in the Vedas and later more fully developed in the Puranas, especially texts such as the Vishnu Purana and Linga Purana. Each Yuga represents a distinct epoch of consciousness on earth, ranging from the golden age of truth and spiritual clarity to the darker ages of confusion, materialism, and forgetfulness. These four ages—Satya (highest, golden), Treta (silver), Dvapara (bronze), and Kali (lowest, iron)—reflect the rise and fall of consciousness on earth. After the collective reaches its deepest descent, the upward journey must be made consciously, ascending again through Dvapara, Treta, and only then into Satya once more. The wheel of the yugas turns through Earth again and again, descending and ascending in organic rhythm, and each return to the light must be earned through conscious evolution.
12 — Chapter 1
Whether in the luminous clarity of Satya Yuga or the ignorance of Kali Yuga, the chakras remain a map back to Source. They are one of the few energetic systems that pervade all Yuga eras, offering us a direct path to spiritual remembrance and incarnational mastery, regardless of whether the rest of the world is asleep or awakening. This understanding is a cornerstone of Vedic wisdom, yet many in the West remain unaware. Even on my very first panel as a Vedic astrology expert, this was the teaching I kept returning to, no matter the topic. Because without understanding the age we are living in, we lose perspective. And like any true map, we need to know where we are in time to navigate the terrain of spiritual evolution with calm, clarity, and right effort.
