Mirrors of Magic: Evoking the Spirit of the Dewponds

by Philip Heselton

The image of the pond lies deep within our psyche. The abundant legend and folklore which surrounds ponds and pools, interpreted rightly, reveals the relationship which country people still had with the spirit of the landscape within living memory. This book shows that these "mirrors of magic" are locations where consciousness can be changed to experience the earth spirit and to perform acts of divination and magic. It also explores the powerful and recurring image of the Moon reflected in the still water of the pool and reveals how this has traditionally been used in magical ritual.
