Water Witchcraft: Magic and Lore from the Celtic Tradition

10/10

This book is a very easy read. It is interesting. I did take off a star because I felt some of the recipes had nothing to do with magic. I equated them to saying use calendula on your face for beauty. Some of the book might seem condescending to some people but it doesn't bother me that the author puts safety first for people who might get caught up in the romance of the magic and forget common sense or might have never visited the ocean, etc. I enjoyed the book amd it's a nice intro for the beginner or the curious.

I was excited when I got this book and figured I would love it. I expected that there would be a great amount of info about the practice aspect. The last chapter is great, it has lists of different water bath mixes and water spell potions. I would say this is not for new beginners unless you know very basics because there are some things the author lists for you to do without describing the process, for example, consecration of tools, etc. Most of the listed meditations/exercises are expected to be done in front of an ocean, river, or some other big water source, in which will be difficult for land-locked individuals. Unfortunately, the rest of the book is either extremely condensed (1 paragraph or 2 sentences long) water myths about water creatures from a celtic perspective, or is just a list of different superstitions from the celtic perspective. As for the craft part there were some minute snippets of useful info such as the beginning on the types of water and different types of sand and salt. Any other useful info was really vague correspondence descriptions. This book should really be called Celtic water myths and superstitions.

For all the books on elemental magic, they tend to be about Green Magick or maybe candle Magick- but Annwyn parts the mists and invites you into an enchanted world where mystic water flows and crashes, showing you how truly poweful water can be. Amazing for beginners, advanced practitioners, and those seeking Celtic related water lore. A future classic, and a must have for anyone who works with, or feels drawn to water.

I was happy to find a book on water witchcraft. I really like the spells and rituals it offers. Lots of good information by the author!

What I liked most about this book were the different exercises, spells, recipes that were easily customizable for your own needs. And the index at the end to easily find the exercise you want was a wonderful part of that. I also found the information about different items and animals and their magical use that I had not learned of before. Overall a great book 😊

Not sure exactly she just thanked me and said she loves it.

This book is well researched, and has information in it that I had a hard time finding on my own. While it is not deeply detailed, it does provide a good basis for those on the water path. I recommend it for those that aren’t sure where to start their journey.

I enjoyed this book immensely. It covers a wide area of water witchcraft using ritualistic tools (which are also covered in the book)Loads of ideas, many of which are inspirational.

Thank you xxx

Un libro veramente bello, in cui l'autrice amalgama alla perfezione folklore e nozioni derivate dalla pratica personale. Consigliato a tutti coloro che sentono il richiamo dell'Acqua.

I really love this book. This lady writes of things that great foundation, and yet leaves room to explore more. She mentions things that I honestly didn't click for me until I read it, like making shields out of ice/waterfall/water instead of just usual blue light. And she goes in depth about different water sources magic, shells, spells for cleansing, how to make holy/cleansing water, and etc. I'm only 1/3 book in so far but I love it!

Beautiful book. Well written and an easy read for beginners!
