Magic is natural. Harm none-not even yourself-through its use. Magic requires effeort, you will receive what you put into it. Magic is not usually instantaneaous, spells require time to be effective. Magic should not be performed for pay. Magic should never be used in jest or to inflate your ego. Magic can be worked for your own gain, but only if it harms none. Magic is a divine art. Magic can be used for defense but should never be used for attack. Magic is knowledge-not only of its way and laws, but also of its effectiveness. Do not believe that magic works-know it! Magic is love, all magic should be performed out of love, the moment anger or hatred tinges your magic you have crossed the border into a dangerous world, one that will ultimately consume you.

--Mhara Starling, author of Welsh Witchcraft: A Guide to the Spirits, Lore, and Magic of Wales At the root of most spiritual traditions is the aspiration to realize one's birthright: an intimate connection with the Land and the spiritual energies that inhabit it. This connection with the Land and its spirits is perhaps nowhere more powerfully felt than in the various traditions of Paganism and witchcraft. But the conditions of modern society strain that relationship, leaving us feeling separated from our craft and unable to feel that deep and vital connection. Discover a path to fully embrace a world filled with spirits, communion with the Land, and a greater sense of belonging in the world--a worldview known as animism. Explore animism in a hands-on way that teaches through firsthand direct experiences. Through embodied exercises based in wholeness, you'll learn to see the world more fully for what it is and to better understand your place in it.
Alive with Spirits provides you with a firm foundation from which to transform your witchcraft practice, rooting it into the Land and in strong, respectful relationships with the spirits around you.

This Witch's devotional is a collection of nature-inspired prayers, mythic incantations, stories, and pagan poetry that can be enjoyed slowly or all at once. It will resonate with anyone looking to soothe the wounds of modernity with eco-devotional language, spellwork, and daily spiritual nourishment. Danielle Dulsky speaks to the expanding movement of those returning to slow, simple living and cultivating an Earth-inspired, sustainable existence. Organized around thirteen archetypes and their themes, ranging from the Mountain Mage (solitude) and Bone-Witch (grievers) to the Heathen Queen (empowerment) and Shepherd (nurturing), Bones & Honey will carry you to the "third road," the unforeseen way that arises from the tension of opposites.
