For centuries, nature has healed and helped those in touch with its bounty. Now readers can work in harmony with nature to summon, use, and store the elements; stir and control powerful entities like dragons and watchtowers; practice the ancient art of gathering and planting; harness the wind, the sun, and the moon; and charge food and other organic material with magickal intent.
The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Natural Magick has so much to offer: wild crafting, ethical living, elemental information, concise guide to ritual, recipes, the fairy realm, celebrating the cycle of the seasons, organic living, and so much more. It does leave out the dark side of nature, giving the book a fluffy, off-balanced feel but it still retains many good points and information.
I enjoyed how it is not so focused on one particular path, which allows anyone to find something to love within its pages, no matter your creed. Its deep underlining advocacy of nature make it an empowering and insightful read.
Don't be put off by the title. From explaining natural magick to ethical practices, from wildcrafting to working with the elementals to conscious cooking, this book truly is a powerhouse of information. This isn't fluffy bunny stuff as the title would lead to you belief but rather a comprehensive book on natural magick. Quite a gem in itself.
This book has a heavier focus on fae, elementals, and food than most modern books on the craft, and while very Wiccan based, makes an effort to separate itself as secular. It’s a unique book that modern practitioners can get a lot out of.
Even as a practitioner myself, at times this book can feel a bit silly. But embracing the silly and whimsy makes it such a fun and magical experience.
this book was almost like doing a search for "natural magic" on google, and compiling everything that comes up... on the positive side, having the book would be faster!
