Laura Lees is a practicing "user of magic" in Great Britiain. She owns Snazzdragon Publications, a company set up to provide accurate and reliable information about Wicca, Paganism, and magic. The group's aim is to fill the gaps in magical knowledge with books and courses that are easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to follow. The group tries to demystify the arcane and remind people that the magic is within their own soul. No matter how impressive the collection of magical paraphenalia, ritual equipment, bells, books and candles all tools are designed to help you access the magic within you. Magic is our birthright, even if most people have forgotten - or choose to ignore - this fact. According to Laura, manipulating magical energy to shape our world is just as natural as manipulating fire, shelter or food for our physical comfort.
