Elements of Magic ― Reclaiming Earth, Air, Fire, Water & Spirit

Within many contemporary Witchcraft traditions, the art of magic is intertwined with the energy of the elements. This book shows you how to find the magic within yourself—to learn, experiment, and strengthen your skills as you discover or renew your connection to the source of your power.

With brilliant contributions from members of the international Reclaiming community—including Suzanne Sterling, Rose May Dance, Gerri Ravyn Stanfield, and Willow Kelly—this book provides spells, exercises, practices, and perspectives that are taught in Reclaiming's foundational class, Elements of Magic.

Deeply poetic and rich with passion, this book helps you expand your relationship with Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit through personal reflections and hands-on explorations. Discover practical techniques for grounding, casting a circle, trance, and visualization as well as guidance for working with breath, raising energy, and charging an intention. If you long to learn what magic is and how it works, Elements of Magic is for you.
