Have you ever asked the rain to wash away your pain, wrote messages in the sand, tied a knot to remember something important? Yes? Then you have practiced earth magic. The magic anyone can perform, without the need of expensive things, but with the power that lies within yourself.
Scott Cunningham, who practiced wicca for over twenty years, brings us a terrific guide to practicing earth magic. The tools necessary within this guide (stones, trees, leaves,...) combined with an emotionally charged state create magic. It teaches you to make use of the most potent tools available to pagans today: those in nature. When you combine the need, the emotion and the knowledge, anything can be accomplished, but remember to always keep your magic positive.
It is never to be used to harm another or yourself.
Cunningham guides us through the basics of magic, elemental magic and natural magic. He gives us spells to heal, to find love, to look into the future or catch a glimps of the past.
He teaches us how earth can protect us, how to listen to messages carried to us by the wind, how fire can purify you and how water can heal you.
In 'Natural Magic', he tells us about talking stones, the magical powers of trees and image magic. He continues with knot spells, candle and wax magic, creating a magic mirror and what spells are empowerd by rain, fog or storms. At the end of the book he hands us a nice overview of correspondences.
Earth Power contains a wide range of spells that can be performed using the powerful energy of the earth. An inspiring collection of spellwork and divination, a must have for the everyday witch!

I like his down-to-earth approach to communication. His ideas and information is presented in crisp, clear, easy to understand text. I don't think I've even heard of "Earth Magic", so I'm glad I stumbled across this post today.
I'm not Wiccan, but I do share a lot of similar practices and ideas.
