Wicca Elemental Magic: A Guide to the Elements, Witchcraft, and Magic Spells (Wicca for Beginners Series)

Description

Everything You Need to Know About Working with the Magic of the Elements For
thousands of years, our ancestors believed that the Elements—Earth, Air, Fire,
and Water—were the building blocks of the Universe, and their inherent
properties and energies could be directed to manifest particular outcomes.
This belief grew and evolved over time as part of the Western Mystery
Tradition, a body of beliefs that has had significant influence on the dynamic
nature-based religion known as Wicca. Through ritual and magic, Wiccans
interact with the primal forces of the Elements in a variety of ways, calling
upon them for assistance in the transformation of their realities just as the
earliest shamans did in the ancient world. You may already be aware of some
aspects of how the Elements figure into Wiccan practice. For example, you may
know that each is represented by different ritual tools—the pentacle for
Earth, the wand for Air, the cup for Water and the athame for Fire. But did
you know that the psychic energies of each Element are found within each and
every person on the planet? Or that by connecting spiritually with a
particular Element you can help address an imbalance in your life? And let’s
not forget the all-important Fifth Element, known in many traditions as
Akasha, or simply Spirit, which contains the other four and yet is an Element
in its own right. But if all of the above is news to you, don’t worry—it
really doesn’t matter how much you’ve learned so far about Wicca or the
Elements. Elemental Magic was created for both beginners and more experienced
Witches alike. In this guide, best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain covers it
all: the basics of incorporating the Elements into your rituals, as well as
less-often discussed topics like animism, Elemental personalities, and using
these forces of nature to help you enhance your magical perception. Indeed, as
you will see, an Element-centered practice is a rich and rewarding way to
deepen your connection to the Goddess and God, to Nature, the Universe, or
whatever terms your particular belief system ascribes to the power of All That
Is. Foundations of Elemental Magic In order to truly grasp the underlying
concepts behind working with the Elements, it’s important to learn how these
components—Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit—came to be defined in Western
magical traditions. You’ll also need a close look at each individual Element

magical practice. You’ll find all of this in Elemental Magic and much more:Our
