Book Reviews of Green Magic: The Sacred Connection to Nature
Book Review: Great for beginners...
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved the Green Witchcraft series, but that was about four years ago. Since then I've read *many* other books (about 75 in my now five years of study) and have had my own experiences with magic in that time. I had genuinely expected a continuation of the Green Witchcraft books with a more indepth look at magic of the Green Witch. What I got was a dull rehashing of what I've read in most of the books that I consider Wicca 101 material that made me just about fall asleep in the first few *pages* - seriously.If you're just starting out, this is a *great* book for looking at magic. But, as the author says, much of it is the same as presented in the Green Witchcraft series - so if you've read those, is there really a point to reading this one? For someone that's read a lot already or has been practicing a long time, it's just the same old stuff rewritten and will most likely make you want to return it for a refund.
And, as a side note: Is it just me, or is Ms. Moura just playing off the success of her Green Witchcraft I & II with all her other "Green" books?
Summary of Green Magic: The Sacred Connection to Nature
Practice a Craft grounded in the powers of nature, the wildwood magic of the elementals, of Mother Earth and the horned god. Kin to star and stone, water and wind, the practitioner of Green magic respects the powers and spirits of nature, and knows how to work with their energies to accomplish magical goals.
This comprehensive guide to the Green Craft focuses specifically on the magical practices covered in the three volumes of Green Witchcraft?and goes even further, presenting information not found in any other book. Become attuned to nature and to your own magical power with instructions on:
?How to create and cast spells
?The difference between a spell's purpose and its goal
?How to move energy with gestures
?Stages of energy flow
?Types of spells within the Green tradition
?Psychology of Green magic
?How to access the energies within natural objects
Green magic is the foundation of modern witchcraft, according to author Ann Moura, a descendent of a long line of maternal witches. It comes from the ancient pagans, who relied on the natural world--using herbs, faeries, wind, rain, and fire--to create spells, potions, and healing teas. "The Green Witch is a Natural Witch, a Hereditary Witch, a Kitchen Witch, a Cottage Witch, a Hedge Witch ... and generally a Solitary Witch," she explains, hoping to demystify this sacred, yet highly accessible craft. In her previous books (among them Green Witchcraft and Green Witchcraft III) Moura offers manuals devoted to mastering specific spells, such as alter-making and potions. In Green Magic she takes a more philosophical approach, delving into the psychology, ethics, and traditions of this earth-based craft. For instance, she offers a section on "transference magic," which warns practitioners to keep close tabs on the unconscious mind so as not to subconsciously transfer negative energy to other people when trying to cast goodwill spells. Those who need basic instruction will find some practical advice here, such as the use of "ritual jewelry" and making magical herbal teas, but mostly this stands out as the deeper discussion that advanced witches yearn for once they pass Green Witchcraft 101. --Gail Hudson
