For many contemporary witchcraft traditions, the art of magic is intertwined with the energy of the elements. With brilliant contributions from members of the international Reclaiming community, this book shares spells, exercises, and practices designed to help you find the magic within yourself and renew your connection to the source of your power. Deeply poetic and rich with passion, this book helps you expand your relationship with earth, air, fire, water, and spirit through personal reflections and hands-on explorations. Discover practical techniques for grounding, casting a circle, trance, and visualization, as well as guidance for working with breath, raising energy, and charging an intention. If you long to learn what magic is and how it works, Elements of Magic is for you.

With brilliant contributions by more than a dozen witches, activists, priestesses, and storytellers, there is something here for you...You'll experience the Craft as practiced by one of its most longstanding and entrenched traditions."—Thorn Mooney, Gardnerian priestess and author of Traditional Wicca
"Reclaiming has so much to offer with its insights into community work, activist magic, and bringing healing to this planet...This book is like a dandelion seed-head, spreading wild wisdom and ecstatic practice."—Tony Rella, author of Circling the Star
"This array of essays, exercises, and rituals at once honors the practices from which our knowledge of the elements comes and explores the depth and richness that the Reclaiming movement has developed over the years. Elements of Magic will be a valuable resource for those who seek a spiritual connection to our world, whatever their tradition."—Diana L. Paxson, author of Trance-Portation
