Highly reccomend this book.
I really don't know what to say about this book other than there is a lot of info in it. Lots of spells with the elements and even some new correspondences for them. Most of the things in this book be done easily and expensive which is something I've always loved about the author. So really, if you're into this subject, this is another great book to have in your collection.
This was a pretty decent book and I enjoyed reading it for the most part. Scott Cunningham as always writes beautifully and descriptively while including a lot of very useful information. The layout of the book is simple, clean, and concise which I really appreciate in a spell book. Some of the spells included in this book, about half I'd say, were very good I thought and are actually spells I would try myself. But the other half felt sort of restrictive to me or weren't useful to my practice. I...
If anyone wants to start witchcraft and has no idea what book to read I always show them Scott Cunningham. Truly a gem and a shame he’s not here. If you are interested in witchcraft—even if you’re not interested in joining wicca, this book is perfect.
Another great follow-up from Cunningham. This book expands on the concepts of natural, elemental magic introduced in Earth Power: Techniques of Natural Magic, giving more sample rituals and information.
This book is amazing if you wanna do non-religious oriented magick with the sense of the earth elements embedded into it. Its a amazing book i finished withing almost one day and it teaches you everything you need too start and every little question you have is awnsered in it.It has everything from magnet magick too sea magick. I guarantee that if you read this and your into metaphysical subjects you wont be disspointed!
Some redundancy from other Cunningham books, but stands alone well. A good book that is easy to read and good basic techniques.
I enjoyed the authors view. Wisdom and great thoughts. Walk lightly... breathe deeply... harm none.... who hasnt felt the magic the wonder of wind, fire, nature, water....
Good start on working with your elements...
Spiritual. Engaging. Non-traditional. Meditative. Groundbreaking.Q:May you have stars in your eyes. (c)Q:Keep it simple. You dont want to perform rituals in which thirteen people dance around a fiery cauldron at the edge of the sea. Nor is it advisable to try to read long incantations by moonlight filtered through clouds. (c)
The meat and potatoes of European folk magic, the actual craft the witches of old used to practice. This is pure spellcraft at it's finest. The book is backed by years of research and experimentation. This book continues where his first book ,Earth Power, left off. This book is a must. Natural magic uses the four elements of the planet: Earth, Air, Fire and Water to perform your spell. There are no fancy complicated rituals or tools. Natural magic is all about combining your personal power with
Rating: 5+++ / 5Once again, I am astounded by how quickly I read through this! For me and in reading nonfiction books at least, it really takes me much longer than this, and yet Cunningham's work is a remarkable exception!Also once again, just like in the case of Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner, I am very drawn to the way in which Cunningham writes. It feels like I'm being taught something, but like it's being done whilst talking to a close friend rather than a teacher--the best of
This makes for a decent introduction to natural magic, with a solid basis on the four elements. The spells are simple and the section on creating your own rituals is full of useful information. But this definitely is Scott Cunningham at his poetic worst. I just really don't jive with all the dippy neopagan imagery or the bad rhymes. But, of course, that's personal taste.
Earth, Air, Fire, and Water was an unintentional re-read. It was in my to-read pile. Then I realised halfway into this book that I already read it. Shows how well I remembered this book. I forgot that I first read Earth, Air, Fire, and Water when I was 10. I was trying to learn everything I could about Wicca. This was definitely a trip down memory lane. Now as an adult I have a brand new appreciation. The beginning and the back discusses the basics of magic. What is energy, what tools to use, wh...
This is a great little book with plenty of ideas for your magickal workings. Well written, down to earth (pun intended) and easy to understand. Not restricted to any particular dogma.
Okay, this one was interesting. It was still a bit too woo-woo in some places for my taste, but I enjoyed how nature focused it was and that it was more about meditation and focusing intentions. It gave me a lot of good ideas for when I need to sit and breathe on things. I had wanted to read this book since middle school, but was terrified people in my tiny town would find out, so I didn’t until now. A lot of expectation built up and this book met it pretty well. It had themes and ideas I could
I read this when I was starting out in Wicca and I LOVED this book. If you are someone who wants to learn more about the elements and their correspondences etc. this is a great starter book. Let Scott be your guide into the worlds of Earth, Air, Fire and Water. He always has great stories and folklore to go along with his spells and charts. I think that this is an excellent book for any newcomer to Wicca who wants to get to know the four elements a little better. I highly recommend this one.
I read Earth Power in August '06, and it cracked me open with its exploration of magical power drawn from the physical elements themselves, not from deities or some airy-fairy "out there" world. I finally got around to reading Earth, Air, Fire, & Water, the "continuation" of Earth Power. Unfortunately, I've changed too much since then to have the same great experience with this one. "Recipe books" of spells containing laundry lists of components and poorly-written incantations ("Meteorite / Char...
Scott does a great job of breaking down the energetics of each element and giving examples of spells that you can do that work specifically with each element. What I really love about this book is that he shares what a good structure outline is for creating your own spell. It empowers the reader to work with the formulas he's provided and either altar them to for a better fit, or to go out with the information provided in the book to create spells of their own. The writing was clear, concise, ea...
A wonderful book for those earth-oriented among the ranks. It is good for learning to ground energies, relate more closely to the natural world, and understand the need for natural as well as spiritual connectivity, including earth-safe initiatives.
