Earth, Air, Fire, and Water: More Techniques of Natural Magic
Scott Cunningham

A water-smoothed stone . . . The wind . . . A candle's flame . . . A pool of water. These are the age-old tools of natural magic. For thousands of years, people have divided the physical world into magical "elements." Besides being a valid way for understanding how the universe works, they have also provided a focus for spiritual systems. Scott Cunningham reveals the secrets of natural magic using the elements in Earth, Air, Fire & Water.

Earth, Air, Fire & Water is a complete course in natural magic. Earth, Air, Fire & Water includes more than 75 spells, rituals and ceremonies that you can successfully perform with detailed instructions for designing your own magical spells. You'll learn what magic is, and some of the important concepts and techniques needed to perform elemental magic including energy, goals, visualizations, and spells. You'll learn the secrets of charging tools, how to develop the magical voice, and how to create a checklist that will help you prepare for any ritual. You'll also learn about the best places for doing magic, and how to prepare them.

Cunningham then reveals the secrets of the five magical elements, Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Akasha - or Spirit. For each one he details their basic nature, what types of rituals are associated with the element; appropriate herbs, stones, and metals; musical instruments; colors; seasons; direction; and symbols.

If you want to learn how to do magic, this book is a fantastic start. If you want to learn how to work with the magical elements, this book is vital. If you want to do natural magic or design your own rituals, this is the book you need to know to make the magic really work for you. Then you'll learn the importance of the magical elements and rituals and techniques you can do that are based on this information. This is followed by information on nine different types of natural magic that you can do for any purpose.

But my favorite part of the book is the last section. Here you will learn how to combine the information on the elements with the information on the basics of magic to create your own rituals for any purpose you can imagine! He gives over forty examples so you can see just how easy it is to design a ritual.

Scott also covers how to determine the best time to perform the ritual; how to combine the words of power or rhyme for the spell; gives a list of magical symbols; a selection of mail-order suppliers so you can get all of your magical needs; a glossary of the specialized words used in the book; and an annotated bibliography so you can know what other books you can get to further your knowledge. This is an outstanding book, and one you should have. .

J'ai enfin ce livre en ma possession! Je ne l'ai pas lu dans son entièreté. Mais d'après ce que j'ai pu lire, j'ai envie de dire qu'il s'agit de magie naturelle! Il s'agit de rites très simples qui impliquent les éléments naturels... Les rituels proposés ne permettent pas de nous connecter aux éléments proprement dit. Il ne s'agit pas de rites pour s'harmoniser avec les éléments, mais plutôt des rites de prospérité, de santé, banniseement de problèmes, amour,... avec la magie des éléments
j'apprécie ce ptit livre t:(w):
