Earth, Air, Fire & Water: More Techniques of Natural Magic (Llewellyn's Practical Magick Series)

Scott Cunningham’s “Earth, Air, Fire & Water: More Techniques of Natural Magic” was written to complement his earlier book, “Earth Magic.” His goal is not to just provide more information, but to empower others to utilize all of the elements, and he does this by showing readers that they can take charge of their own spirituality—namely by creating their own spells.Cunningham reveals how readers can take charge of their own spirituality by revealing how all five elements—earth, air, fire, water, and akasha—can be utilized to make positive changes in their own lives through the use of visualization.This was an excellent book and one that does indeed complement his earlier book. Cunningham really guides readers so that they fully understand the reasons behind the practices so that they can utilize it in everyday praxis. In this book, the author shows how natural magic really is a lifestyle choice that permits its users to not only actively engage with the universe, but also ensures that practitioners are inculcated with the importance of self-responsibility.

I miss Scott Cunningham. RIP you gentle, positive man.This is one of my very favorite of his books.If you are interested in natural magic, or the spirituality inherent in the world around you, you will love this book.There is nothing "dark" or negative in any of Scott Cunningham's books, nor does he tell you exactly what you "should" do. Indeed, he provides a lot of information in a completely organized way, and then encourages your own intuition and knowledge.It's set up well for beginners, but just about everyone would benefit from his books. I don't care for the books written in his name after his death very much, but this, and several others are simply gems. It's well organized as well, with useful ideas.Enjoy it.I would also recommend this, and other Cunningham books, for parents who want to encourage their curious teens into the positive side of "magic" where "do no harm" is explained WELL, and negative actions are shown to be just what they are, as harmful to the one acting, as the one acted upon.

As a huge fan of every book of Scott Cunningham's I have ever read I had no hesitance in buying this book before having read it. It is fantastic and gives a lot of great spell work that can be done cheaply (which is great when you're like me and on a budget!).I loved this book and as usual - enjoyed Scott's laid back writing style which is informative, not boring, and is much like sitting with a beloved uncle and having a conversation.I look forward to working with the different spells and such suggested in this book. So happy to have this added to my ever growing library!

Awesome Read !!!

When I first began to study witchcraft, I picked up 2 books. One book left a strange taste in my mouth because of the negativity toward other religions and the cocky attitude of the author in general. Then I read Cunningham's Earth, Air, Fire & Water. I was instantly enchanted and felt I had found the home I sought. His writing is timeless, still easy to relate to and encouraging throughout.I love how simply he teaches his philosophies and the organization of the book in general. The book is organized by elements, with special magic (ocean, for example) added in their own categories after the behest of readers of his first elemental work. Part of what makes Cunningham accessible is how easy to understand his instructions are even for beginners and how easily applied each spell is to various pagans and witches no matter what tradition (or lack thereof) they follow. For example, a simple Earth spell for financial prosperity that involves a green candle is one that I've adapted and used for 5 years now.In short, this Cunningham work is an essential to own for witchcraft users.

Another very informative, packed to the gills book from Scott Cunnigham. A great reference book for the beginner pagan. I use this in combination with other books to help me along the way. I just lover his writing style. He keeps you interested and wanting to read further, whereas a lot of other Wiccan books seem to drone on and I find myself skipping around from chapter to chapter and just using them when I need a reference point. With Scott Cunningham books I tend to read cover to cover and refer back to them all the time.

Scott Cunningham does it again. I love his work & this book provides the reader with so many practical tips & tricks that anyone even with a limited amount of time on their hands can easily perform. I am truly happy I got to read this work, the spells herein are marvelous & have truly made it think about magick in it's purest form.

It's a good book, simple, bringing magic into our lives in the form of honoring the elements. Beautiful work. It seemed a little too basic at first, as I found that I already did a lot of the things in this book on my own. I've seldom referred to it, it's nice to have around the house though. Can be very powerful for those beginning to learn to utilize elemental magic. I recommend.
