Llewellyn's 2011 Magical Almanac by Elizabeth Barrette

How can we stay grounded amid the hustle and bustle of today? Try working with the elements - earth, air, fire, and water-to reconnect with what's important in life. From spiritual housecleaning to sex magic with your clothes on, beginners and long-time practitioners will find dozens of ways to magically enhance everyday life. This edition includes articles - grouped by element - on Pagan Permaculture, fabric magic, foot magic, mantras, ornithomancy, fire dancing rituals, making a divining bowl, using the home as a magical tool, powerful effigies, tarot spell dowsing, and much more. Also included are the Moon's sign and phase, along with the incense and colour of the day, to help you maximize the potential of your work.
