Synopsis

The ways of magic are revealed in nature...The secrets are written in meandering streams and drifting clouds, whispered by the roaring ocean and cooling breeze, echoed through caves and rocks and forests.

When you draw a heart in the sand, call on the four winds for assistance, or ask the rain to wash away a bad habit, you are practicing earth magic. By working in harmony with nature, we can transform ourselves, our lives, and our world. This tried-and-true guide offers more than one hundred spells, rites, and simple rituals you can perform using the powerful energy of the earth.

Scott Cunningham was a greatly respected teacher and one of the most influential members of the modern Craft movement. A practitioner of elemental magic for twenty years, he wrote more than fifty books, including the seminal Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Here is a new approach to ancient magic. Scott Cunningham, in his gentle, informative way, shares how you can use the most basic of tools - a leaf, a stone, a candle - to become a powerful, self-assured magician.
I really like Cunningham's presentation. He makes spells, charms, and divination systems sound effortless. And when you try them you'll discover that they really are as easy as he says. You'll also learn that they can be as powerful as any other magic system in the world.
One of the things that interests us all is what the future holds. Will things go well? Will we get a new job? Will we get a new lover? In Earth Power, Cunningham shares many forms of divination. You can use soil, a piece of bark, the surface of a lake or pond, or even candles. The full instructions on how to do these and other divinations are in this book. Try them all out! I know you'll find one or more that works to bring you the information you need.
Of course, once you know about the future, what are you going to do about it? This book is also filled with charms and spells that can protect you and heal you. It may even be able to save your life!
"Run into a field and stick a knife into the ground, with the sharp edge of the blade facing the coming storm [tornado]. The knife is said to 'split the wind', so that your area will be spared."
I live in tornado country, so you need to be very careful. If you see a cyclone, run for cover! But if you hear on the news of one approaching, you might try this before you see the funnel. It could save your property and your life.
When you get this book you're going to find uses for it every day. It's amazing that such a small thing can give you such power. And with Earth Power, it can all be yours.
