Families and how to survive them, by Robin Skynner and John Clease.
ISBN 0-19-520466-2
I'm crap at summarising btw.
This book covers:
* Why do people choose a partner?
* Why do they fall in love?
* What roles do they adopt or impose on one another?
* How do they behave towards thier children?
* How does a child grow up into a healthy - or not so healthy - adult?
*Why is good sex so important?
- The walkthough.
Chapter 1. Why did I have to Marry You?
1.1.
In Chapter on John asks Robin why people decide to marry each other.
Robin says that people fall in love with each other who are very like
them - or more importantly have a similarity of thier family
backgrounds. Even when they fall in love across a crowded room, never
having said a word.

My question is, "Does this book have anything at all to do with magick?"

Sure. However not all aspects of ones personal journey of self
discovery are relevant to the subject of magick in general. For
example, I wouldn't discuss the philosophy of engineering here, unless
some particular angle comes up as part of a magick related discussion.
Not everyone who practices or studies magick has family issues to work
through, so there likely will be little interest in slogging through
this entire book. It would be more useful if you shared particular
sections or ideas from the book when it relates to a specific magical
topic being discussed here.

No. Magic is a technology.

I think it would be helpful to make clearer how this topic connects to
magick.
