En savoir plus sur le livre

This book offers a unique exploration of the magic intertwined with the land, the body, and the spirits of the living and the dead. Authored by a leading expert in environmental magic, it presents occultists, pagans, and witches with powerful, natural methods to connect with nature. Moving beyond traditional ritualistic practices, it emphasizes the inherent powers surrounding us—such as the winds, land energy, and the voices of the deceased—while advocating for fellowship with nature. Readers will discover practical insights on engaging with land spirits and faery beings, creating nature shrines, and living in harmony with magical elements. The text also delves into deeper aspects of nature magic, exploring themes of creation, destruction, and the interplay of power and fate, including how to work with storms. The author, Josephine McCarthy, is a seasoned Western magical adept based in Southwest England, with extensive teaching experience in the USA and UK. Her work focuses on the magician's relationship with the environment, and she has researched New Kingdom Egyptian funerary texts to understand their deities as natural forces. Additionally, she created Quareia, an open-source online training course aimed at fostering a more cooperative relationship between Western magic and nature.
