Your Word is Your Wand & The Game of Life and How to Play It (Annotated): Enriched Edition. Love One Another: Advices for Verbal or Physical Affirmation

Bringing together two of Florence Scovel Shinn's most enduring works, Your Word Is Your Wand and The Game of Life and How to Play It presents a concise yet influential statement of New Thought spirituality. Written in a direct, aphoristic style, the book treats life as a field governed by spiritual law, where speech, imagination, faith, and expectation shape experience. Its blend of biblical quotation, anecdote, and practical affirmation places it within early twentieth-century metaphysical literature, while its clarity gives it the force of a manual rather than a sermon. Florence Scovel Shinn was an American artist, illustrator, and spiritual teacher whose public lectures and private consultations informed much of her writing. Her background in the visual arts sharpened her sense of symbolic thinking, while her engagement with New Thought traditions led her to emphasize intuition, divine order, and the creative power of language. These books reflect her work with individuals seeking healing, prosperity, and emotional transformation. This volume is recommended for readers interested in the history of self-help, affirmation practice, and modern spiritual psychology. Though brief, it remains a culturally significant text for understanding how metaphysical ideas about consciousness, speech, and success entered popular religious and motivational thought.
