Loved this! The author is so down to earth in his writing and he's so easy to understand. There are some really great things that are so simple and cheap to do. This is such an amazing book. One of my new favorites. Can't wait to read more by this author whom we lost way too soon.

Not that great but I'd recommend it over any Silver RavenWolf drivel.

An easy read, nothing too complex. Felt like talking to a good friend about what magick is and how to do some simple spells. Could have used some more information perhaps but I think this is a good book for beginners. I am not Wiccan, but I think you can be any type of a witch to read this and for more experienced ones this, I felt, was a great way to look back or to remind yourself of this friendly approach to nature. It felt nostalgic to me.

This book is a classic for a reason. There is a lot of info in here, great for beginners or people wanting to refresh their memory. I always go back to my Scott Cunningham books.

Cunningham, unlike many others I've come across, really sees 'magic' as a deep connection/communion with what is, and not a bringing about events by forces. In this book, he separates meditations into the four elements (earth, air, fire, water) and gives his own thoughts on how to use them. Practical, although not for me personally. Not his best work, not his worst.

2020 read: it’s been a few years since i read this last. i gave it five stars before. it was a very intriguing and thought-provoking book back then. i was just learning, and very much in awe of the possibilities. the simplicity of some of these suggested processes was incredible and approachable. but here in 2020, with a little more knowledge and experience, i find many these processes to be impractical, uninteresting, and unnecessary. i get the point, and that many of these can be altered to pe...

I read the reviews and had certain expectations. Unfortunately, writing feels dry and unengaging. There are a few interesting spells but generally it's like reading a magic book for teens. Not much consistency or explanation behind any of the spells. Some are very short and random and it looks like they've just been added for quantity. I would've loved it when I was a kid.

Scott Cunningham is one of the premier voices in Wicca. He has written over 50 books on Wicca and Witch craft. In this short comprehensive book called "Earth Magic" the author discusses Earth Magic. Earth Magic is based on tapping into the energy off the four elements. Earth, Fire, Air and water. The rituals are simple and easy to use. They are mostly folk magic and the spells have been around for a very long time which means they are tried and true. These spells are not Wiccan they are from an

Many people who are interested in practicing magic in the context of Wicca will be expecting consecrated tools, wordy rituals, elemental and divine invocations, and extensive use of materials. They may be surprised to get a glimpse at the roots of folk magic: very simple everyday rituals are described in this book, encouraging practitioners to make magic a consistent and easy form of interacting with day-to-day life. Most magic is simply an extension of a person's desire, and performing the magi...

Scott Cunningham's Earth Power: Techniques of Natural Magic was...ok. There are basic spells and info in there I would use -- at least as a jumping off point, and to further research. It was not so much the simplicity of the spells (this was a book on natural magic and I have no issue with simplicity), but rather the lack of depth in Cunningham's writing or even imagination, I guess that bothered me. He spent entirely too much time repeating wicca is not evil (yes, I know, sign of the times in w...

Careful, you might spill your magick!Also I just really want to be a cool witch, but I suck at believing in things. Maybe one day.

It just feels like reading magic spells for teens. Close to no explanations on why you use what you use in mentioned rituals. In one paragraph he tells you to never leave your candles burning unattended and BOOM in the next one you are supposed to leave the room and let the candles burn on their own for at least 15 min. And a lot of other contradictory stuff like this. I expected more

Lovely little book full of handy information and short, uncomplicated spells that often don't need any extra materials that can't be found outdoors. Particularly loved, as a long haired girl, the part where he informs the reader that waking up with knots in your hair often signifies that elves or fairies have been playing with it in the night. A fun read for anyone wanting to feel closer to nature, particularly in our modern, urbanized world.

The title of the book is a little confusing; I thought it would be about earth magic, i. e., things one does with herbs and stones mostly, when in fact one has here: earth magic, air magic, fire magic, water magic, plus knot magic, candle magic etc... even mirror magic - all at a very basic level, though, without going in-depth into any of these. I personally will not be using most of the spells here in their exact given form, but I consider this book a helpful reference. For instance, the autho...

This book really didn't live up to my expectations.I'd asked a few people for their thoughts on Cunningham's works and, after checking out Earth, Air, Fire, Water in his works, I thought this might be a good one to try.I was disappointed, to say the least. Earth, Air, Fire, Water was a much better, more useful reference in my opinion.

The book Earth Power by Scott Cunningham is a very simple to read and easy to follow book that covers the basics of magic and witchcraft. The author provides several easy to follow spells and rituals that enable a new seeker to be able to read the book and start practicing magic right away. This tome provides spells and rituals for beginners as well as experienced practitioners of magic.This book is divided into three sections. The first section of the book talks about the basics of magic and sp...

One of the first books I read on the subject of magic. It is a great starting point. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to start slowly with magic.

Cunningham has a lot of content out there already. I've read a decent amount of his books and I have to say specifically for elemental magic and rituals/spells this is the most specific and focused I've seen from him. Each element gets a chapter and explanation of its associations, meditations relative to it and ways to connect to each element as a practitioner. Cunningham writes openly so that beginners can understand but he also includes some spells that involve rocks, seashells, driftwood, et...

A classic book with a solid no nonsense grounding in nature. It is great to get back to the classics and really remind yourself that magic is not about the fancy cauldron or perfect candle. It is about nature and all it has to offer. Quite a few ideas and simple activities that I can't wait to add to my own practice. I connected with the Stone and Sea magic, which makes a kind of sense... living on an island and all. There are lots of stones and sea.

I loved this book. It's got amazing introductions and instructions at the start, followed by some really good spells. I don't follow them exactly, but use them as springboards to create my own spells and rituals. I read this after Earth, Air, Fire and Water, and together they make a really comprehensive introduction to earth magic.
