Elemental Magic: Traditional Practices for Working with the Energies of the Natural World
The book is divided into the following chapters.
Chapter 1: Mother Earth
Chapter 2: Mineral Magic
Chapter 3: Plant Magic
Chapter 4: Magical Animals and Birds
Chapter 5: The Power Within
Chapter 6: The Magic of the Land

Chapter 10: Precautions and Remedies
The chapters are followed by a conclusion titled: A Valid and Appropriate Spiritual Path. This book is a combination of generic Pagan themes with Celtic and Norse traditions. The chapter on plant magic covers the trees of the Ogham. I found the symbolism of astrology and parts of the body very interesting.
The meditations are easy to follow even for beginners. The imagery and drawings in the book are beautiful. There are drink recipes for mead, beer, and wine and food recipes for ceremonial rusks, soul cakes, and kitchels. Although this is a short book, it is full of so much information. It would be a great reference book for any practitioner.
