Product Description

Product Description

Did you know...that the thickness of the layers in a locally grown onion will indicate the severity of the coming winter? Magic is all around us in stones, flowers, starts, the dawn wind and the sunset cloud. All we need is the ability to see it, understand it, and apply it. Magic works because of nature's laws, not in spite of them and Doreen Valiente shows how to practice the age-old white magic which has been familiar to the Wise Ones for centuries. This book helps you tap the magic of: herbs and flowers; amulets and talismans; Water, Air, Earth, and Fire; card reading; numbers and colours; weather predicting; love relationships; dreams; birds and animals; traditional Spells; and much more. Magic is meant to help people and "Natural Magic", essentially a practical treatise revealing the magic inherent in human life and nature, shows that magic can be for everyone. Both those who are new to the practice of magic and those with experience will find it to be delightful reading and an informative handbook for use in daily life.

Doreen Valiente was one of the founders of modern Wicca and was initiated into four different branches of the Old Religion in Great Britain. She is the author of An ABC of Witchcraft: Past and Present, Natural Magic, The Rebirth of Witchcraft and Witchcraft: A Tradition Renewed. She made many television and radio appearances, discussing witchcraft and folklore and displaying items from her collection of witchcraft objects. Doreen Valiente died in 1999.

4.0 out of 5 stars back to basics, 11 Jan 2001
By A Customer
With so many spell books available these days (which I take a small amount of responsibility for), you get the sense that many published witches (or non witches writing on the subject) are moving in an ever decreasing spiral, simply quoting and misquoting eachother. Doreen gives us the chance to open the circle.

She realised that for magic to remain meaningful we must understand its role in so many successive generations and cultures. Only then can we add to and develop the knowledge already gathered in print.

This book reminds us what magic is for: empowering and protecting ourselves, using our imagination, concentration and faith, and the Spirit present in all things natural. Really, we don't need madly expensive ritual tools and rare blooms, even if they do photograph beautifully.

This is also a liberating book for anyone who feels ungrounded or lost, due to something generally described as "progress". May it inspire you to move to the countryside or at least to visit occasionally. Once there, kick your shoes off and dance with bare feet. It might just change your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for begginers and the more experienced witch., 28 Jul 2000
This review is from: Natural Magic (Library Binding)
It has been said that Gerald Gardener was the father of modern day witchcraft, if this is true, then Doreen Valentine is certainly the mother ! Doreen Valentines books have a magical romantic quality, while teaching theory as well as practical magic and wiccan religion - This book is no exception. Though fairly old now, this book teaches most of the basics of witchcraft, with colourful histories and the theory behind each practise. Unlike most modern books, Doreen's books don't try to disguise what is basic principals behind lengthy rhymes and other such drivel. This book has some top quality poetry in it, as well as valuable information. I recommend it to those who are interested in witchcraft, I would recommend that those interested in high or ceremonial magick steer well clear. In short Natural Magic is a wonderful tome of poetry, history, theory and practical witchcraft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant grounding, 1 Feb 2004
By A Customer
I first came across this book in my local library. It summed up everything I had felt and known for years about my spirituality. It is totally accessible and doesn't bog the reader down in heavy doctrine. The theory can come later. It is a perfect introduction to natural magic in the world around us and which can be used on a day to day basis as much of the thought can slip easily into your everyday life. If you have always felt at one with the earth, buy this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic
If I had to recommend one book to a person starting on the neo-wiccan path it would be this one. A wonderful collection of wisdom and information that should not be missed.
