Reviews / Votes
"Air Magic is a refreshing exploration of the element that is always with us. Perhaps using some air magic of her own to craft a book that is both clear and concise, Astrea leads the reader through history, personal experiences, and practices, providing an excellent overview for anyone interested in connecting to the power of this element."-Cyndi Brannen, author of Keeping Her Keys and Entering Hekate's Garden"With the element of Air being vital to our everyday lives, it is not surprising that Air Magic is extensive and detailed. Astrea Taylor (and other voices in well-placed essays) offers accessible wisdom and personal knowing, while sharing rituals that have helped me deepen my relationship with Air. From the myths to the deities, to creatures and guardians (and a lot more!), this book offers the gift of expansiveness into what we cannot see, but we deeply know."-Irisanya Moon, author of Reclaiming Witchcraft and Aphrodite: Goddess of Love & Beauty & Initiation
"Air Magic does a stellar job of breathing life into the magic of air. An element of creation and manifestation, travel and transformation, air is all around us and inside us. Astrea Taylor gives us everything we need to know about this vital element and much, much more."-Lilith Dorsey, author of Water Magic
