Elements of Witchcraft

Natural Magic for Teens

By Ellen Dugan

Celtic Connection  Price $13.95     

Study and work with the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water and learn many different forms of real magick, including crystal, herb, stone, color, and candle magick. It might not be as flashy as the movies make it seem, but real Witches work magick every day-the magick of the natural world, the magick of the Craft, and especially the magick of the heart and mind.
