Rating:  - The 4 Nature Elements! This book is one of all books that Scott Cunninghan has written. I read it and it says all you need to know about these 4 elements. That`s very bice book. Rating: - Perfect!I'm kinda new to this kinda stuff, but I always was interested by natural powers and magick. This book is a really good start for people like me. Really interesting to read! Rating: - This is a "five star" book.Right on the front cover of this book are the words "More Techniques of Natural Magic." This is an extension of "Earth Power : Techniques of Natural Magic" ISBN: 0875421210. It never clamed to be a beginner or a stand-alone end-all-be-all book. I am personally using it as an extension of "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" ISBN: 0875421849, the real place to start. For those people starting from near ground zero with the Solitary Practitioner behind them this will keep you going. For those people in the know, it never hurts to find a book that tells you what you know in a different way. Now for some practical review information: . Includes more than 75 spells, rituals and ceremonies . Provides detailed instructions for designing your own magical spells . Instills a sense of wonder concerning our planet and our lives . Promotes a natural, positive practice that anyone can successfully perform Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Includes Author's Book of Shadows) Rating:  - A complete waste of time. This is coming from someone who studied witchcraft for years. I suppose this book is easier to follow because it's dumbed down. There are basic ideas for making your own spells at the back of the book. They seem fun and nifty, and would be cool, except for the major fact that spells don't do anything. Once a person realizes this, spells lose all of their appeal. There is lots of information on which herbs, stones and colors are "helpful" for whatever thing you want. Of course there is no scientific proof that any of these things will help you (with the exception of a few herbs that have medicinal value) other than being aesthetically pleasing, but collecting all these nifty things is the materialistic part of wicca. Wiccans then contradict themselves by saying that you really don't need any of these things; just your mind. Then why do people waste money and resources acquiring all this junk? He talks about the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water. This is what the Greeks thought of as the elements that made up everything in the world. In the many centuries since, real elements have been discovered, but people still talk about the "four" elements--another example of using symbolism for its own sake. He also talks about "positively charging" things by holding them and focusing on them. I'm sure he doesn't even realize that to actually positively charge something, you need to add particles to them on a molecular level. I'm sure that you will enjoy this book if you are gullible enough to believe in wicca. It is nothing but wishful thinking. None of it is real, and contrary to trendy opinion, wicca is just as fake as every other religion. Rating:  - Another Great One.....Scott Cunningham is quite the writer! I loved this book, and have since allowed 3 friends to borrow it. And they love it too. I am just beginning wicca, and wanting to learn all I can right now. This book really put things in perspective for me. Taught me alot about the religion that I was not aware of. And also broadend what I did know. Most books that I have read on this subject, seem to go in circles with the author pushing his idea upon the reader. Scott Cunningham leaves it up to the reader to decide about the techniques he uses. A very pleasant approach for all beginners. I will be purchasing more books by Scott Cunningham. |
