Book review: M. Green's Elements of Natural Magic
nameless
I picked up this book when i found it about a year after hearing a review
on the radio. at the time i was just getting interested in the nature side
of goddess worship and this sounded like a good book for ideas. as i read
the first chapter i found myself thinking: "Yes! that's exaclty what i
figured!" it seemed Marian Green had put down on paper the ideas that
where slowly forming in my mind, but hadn't solidified yet. it really was
strange as i turned each page, half knowing what would come next. i still
use the book as a reference every now and then. also, the exercises in
this book (and the other i've read by her) are extremely useful and
flexible enough to base your own on them.
Oh, well, just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Absolutely, but I have a complaint: She's very directive and magick to me is
something where experiential learning's the key.
Otherwise, a very useful book and great ecological (if not so great personal)
politics, too.
