About the author
Jaq D. Hawkins
39 books69 followersJaq D Hawkins is a British author in the genres of Steampunk, Fantasy and the occult. Her first published book, Understanding Chaos Magic (Capall Bann, 1996), was the first book on chaos magic to bring a general understanding of the subject to a wide audience, and earned her a place among the best known writers on chaos magic.
Her Spirits of the Elements series spread her reputation across a wider spectrum of the magical community and led to speaking engagements in far flung corners of the earth, including the US and Japan as well as the UK. She retired from public speaking in 2006, but started making exceptions on occasion in 2008. She is no longer able to travel to the US however, as they do not accept her British passport due to complications over her actual place of birth.
Of her subsequent books, the most popular is Chaos Monkey, which takes a unique perspective on the subject of magic and how it affects the lives of those who choose to follow a magical path. It personifies magic as The Monkey, a Trickster archetype that sometimes teaches powerful lessons through uncomfortable methods. Those who learn to laugh with The Monkey become stronger as a result.
In 2005 her first Fantasy novel, Dance of the Goblins, was published followed by Demoniac Dance and soon to be joined in 2012 by Power of the Dance.
In Steampunk, Jaq has released The Wake of the Dragon: A Steampunk Adventure and has two more Steampunk titles in progress.
She currently lives in Norwich, UK.

Straightforward diction brimming with wisdom, I loved every single element of this book. Having lived in West Africa for some time I’m affectionately familiar with Animist practices and daily living. This book serves as a great reminder of the abundance all around and the rituals that call upon and honor these energies. 🌍💨🔥💦✨

I love this book! It was a fun and informative read! I highly recommend others to read this book when working with elemental energies. The author broke it down for each element and made it fun to read in the process. I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
