Build Your Best Practice in Alignment with the Elements
Begin your Witchcraft journey on the Pentacle Path, a wholly unique system of magickal practice that incorporates ritual magick, journey work, and spellcraft to help you fully engage with the elements. Featuring dozens of illustrations and more than fifty rituals, spells, and meditations, Elemental Witchcraft combines esoteric thought with practical activities, allowing you to create an empowering and authentic practice.
Heron Michelle first teaches you Witchcraft's foundations—including the heavy influence of Hermetic philosophy. Then she guides you in understanding the elements and how they correspond to both the Wheel of the Year and the five points of the pentacle that represent your mental, emotional, will, physical, and spiritual bodies. This comprehensive book also explores astrological timing, auras and chakras, elemental tools, sacred space, the Witch’s Jewel of Power, and more. Designed over a decade of coven practice and teaching, this book's system works as a roadmap to your own Great Work.
Foreword by Timothy Roderick, author of Wicca: A Year and a Day
"Elemental Witchcraft goes way beyond the basics of 'how to' books on Witchcraft. It is an erudite book that provides for experienced practitioners new ideas and insights to deepen their practice and teaching and which for newcomers offers a vision of how contemporary witchcraft can provide a path to deep spiritual transformation."—Dr. Vivianne Crowley, author of Wicca: The Old Religion for the New Millennium
"Elemental Witchcraft is an incredible work dedicated to training new witches but stands among those books that can deepen a spiritual practice for any practitioner regardless of their length of study...It presents the why associated with magical practices and that is foundational for learning. Seeing the teachings as gender neutral is vital and avoids leaving anyone out. The information also expresses the need for modern tools. This year-long study can be repeated for years to come, creating a deeper connection with the God/dess and ourselves."—Amy Blackthorn, author of Blackthorn's Botanical Magic and owner of Blackthorn's Botanicals
"Elemental Witchcraft is a magnificent work, an analysis of the Old Religion following the path of the Elements. Unlike other witchcraft books I've seen, the author doesn't homogenize or whitewash the information, nor does she talk down to the reader. She speaks to the reader as an equal and a friend. There's a wealth of information here, presented with the author's wit, charm, and attention to detail...This is a book you'll be going back to again and again."—Miles Batty, author of Teaching WitchCraft
"Heron Michelle pulls back the veil and shows us the soul of a witch...There is strength and kindness in her words as she conveys a summary of her journey through magick and her interlocking insights to present a whole and holistic view of a path of witchcraft...Elemental Witchcraftis perhaps the best effort I've ever seen to condense the fullness of a vibrant Tradition into one volume. If you do the work the book asks you to do, you will find a new way into the heart of witchcraft."—Ivo Dominguez, Jr., author of The Four Elements of the Wise
"Heron Michelle writes with sass and style and shares a powerful vision of Witchcraft that's firmly rooted in the past, yet very much a part of the progressive present. There's something for every Witch in this book, no matter their level of experience."—Jason Mankey, author of The Horned God of the Witches
"Heron Michelle shares her personal practice in an inclusive volume that is part reference text, part study guide, and part road map. Practitioners new and old will find the expansive text rich in well-researched information. As a beautiful bridge between witchcraft's history, and present-day application, Elemental Witchcraft could very well become the twenty-first century's version of Buckland's 'Big Blue.' A must-have!"—Raina Starr, host and producer of Desperate House Witches Podcast
"In Heron Michelle's brilliant book, she lays a fantastic overview of the foundational elements of this path, combining the ancient wisdom of the past with modern revelation and innovation...As tricky a balance as this is to strike, Elemental Witchcraft does a beautiful job of doing just that in a highly approachable and digestible way."—Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch
"Heron Michelle's work is an insightful integration of Hermetics and Witchcraft into a distinctive path of witchery. With the elements as both foundation and framework, The Pentacle Path reveals a tradition writ whole."—Canu Nodiad, Faery Seer, Georgian Wicca Elder, and community witch
