ISBN: 0738709220 Paperback
Natural Witchery is so well written that it seems as if it were written with you in mind. As as fitting for Ellen Dugan’s philosophy on witchcraft the book is all about connecting with your heart, and with nature, to know what is right for you.
Ellen Dugan’s writes with a very down to earth style and has a great sense of humor, which makes reading her books easy and enjoyable.
Dugan has a wealth of knowledge which turns this bookinto a learning tool for a witch who is searching for their true self.
There are eight chapters in this book which cover: The Natural Witch And Intuition; The Psychic Cycles Of The Moon; Personal Power; Personal Magickal Development; Starting A Circle, Practical Magick: Living The Life Of A Natural Witch; Witchery At Work; Spirituality And Personal Advancement.
I especially enjoyed the information on lighting up your chakras, and questions that help you discover your psychic abilities to use in your magick. The Psychic Cycles of the Moon chapter is very useful for starting your own circle. This chapter alone has encouraged many witches and wiccans to start their own circles to help collectively explore spirituality.
Natural Witchery covers so much and in a very practical and down to earth fashion.
A welcome and refreshing addition to your Wicca 101 library.
Natural Witchery won the 2008 Coalition of Visionary Resources award in the Best Book Wicca/Paganism category.
