Seven Principles for Living an Authentic Life
The spiritual marketplace is overflowing with affirmations, manifestation formulas, and content designed to keep you searching. The Manual does the opposite. It hands you a clear framework and the practical tools to stop performing the life you were handed and start living the one that's been yours all along.
Drawing on Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, and traditions across cultures, this book distills a lifetime of practice and thousands of readings into seven principles you can live by starting today.
Martigan is a spiritual seeker, teacher, and author whose journey with the unseen began before he could name it. As a young child, he experienced encounters with presences most people dismiss — encounters that shaped how he would come to understand consciousness, fear, and the human search for meaning.
With a background in psychology and sociology, he spent years as a professional tarot and palm reader, sitting across from thousands of people who arrived with different problems but were, at their deepest level, asking the same question: why isn't my life mine?
Drawing on the mythology of Joseph Campbell, the psychology of Carl Jung, and the wisdom of Buddhism, Taoism, and traditions across cultures, Martigan wrote The Manual to distill what he'd observed into a framework anyone can use. He believes the tools for living authentically have always existed — buried under noise.
Martigan is available for podcast interviews, guest essays, and speaking engagements. A few of the conversations he's ready to have:
Deconstructing one of spirituality's most repeated ideas — and what it hides.
What thousands of tarot readings revealed about the struggle underneath every life.
Why every step has been part of a path already yours.
A Campbell-inflected reframe of pain and the noise between you and yourself.
