Water Magic by Lilith Dorsey

This book has a great deal of information presented concisely if briefly. What do I mean by this? Well, the first section, as an example, mentioned history, folklore and myths including religion, sacred sites, divinity, mythological beasts and places, etc. Any one of those topics could be a book in and of itself SO my feeling is that this book is a great introduction to the water element that a beginner could use to get ideas and if one idea resonated they might show more then choose to do further in-depth research.

I found that while reading I would say to myself, “ah ha” and then think about water in a new way. I know that there is swamp water and pond water and ocean water and dead sea water and river, brook and stream water…there is active and inactive water and what is in the water may vary BUT to think about how any one type of water might impact a spell or what it might do if one were to bathe with intent in one body of water instead of another…well…that was a for-instance that came to mind.

I have heard of animal guides, tarot, divination, crystals, pendulums and other topics but, again, had not thought of various items mentioned in direct relationship TO water…and now will be doing so and also thinking about those same items in relationship to the other elements. Reading through the lists compiled of god/desses and mythologies, sacred sites and more I also realized there is a lot I do not know and would like to learn more about.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I like to have it in my library? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and Llewellyn Worldwide for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Packed full of great information, especially for a non-praticitioner like me. My respect for these female icons and their places in ATRs takes on new depths.
