Earth Power has lots of interesting ideas for becoming more in-tune and working with nature and the elements in raw ways without the 'frills' of more ceremonial magic. This book is defiantly a great for people who like simplistic and natural spells and magic, but this book also offers some good information as well. (

A great resource for those interested in natural magic. Cunningham gives sample rituals for different purposes, and they're very easy to adapt for your own rituals. (

Purchased for a course I was doing. Nice art nouveau illustrations inside, but otherwise, pretty dull - very basic spell ideas, with little encouragement to make up your own. I will probably end up raiding the illustrations for art projects rather than referring to the text. (

First words

From the earliest years of my life I have been attracted to Nature in all its manifestations.

Quotations

The study of a simple rose blossom, blade of grass, veined leaf or the whistle of the wind through leafy trees will reveal as much,if not more,concerning ht true nature of magic than will a hundred dusty Renaissance tomes."

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0875421210, Paperback)

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.
