"We live in two Worlds: The world we can see and the invisible world. The witch's magic is done by consciously using both worlds."

I have owned every printing of this book ever made, and this is the rarest I have ever seen. This is an incredibly fascinating book that contains a plethora of esoteric writings about metaphysics, magic, and manifestation. The magic of the witch connects the Cosmic to the Earth. Witch magic is visible, tangible, and practical. But the Overview is essential. Thus, we work in linear time, using The Law of Cause and Effect. We work with linear time, knowing full well that time is not necessarily linear but all at once. All-time coexists, and it is because we are aware of this Overview that we can see the future and work magic forward and backward in linear time. We work with the World of Form, and in it, our magic manifests to the five senses. Our techniques also employ the five senses, even though we know fully that space is not defined by what we touch, see, hear, smell, or taste. We understand that all space coexists, limited only by perception. With the Overview, our perception is the "sixth" sense – the Spirit, represented in the pentagram by the Circle, which encompasses All.

"Earth Magic" is a book about Nic Witchcraft, a specific branch of Witchcraft that emphasizes the divine feminine and the worship of the Goddess. The book explores various aspects of Nic Witchcraft, including rituals, spells, divination, and celebrating the Wheel of the Year.

"Once we met in secret, in the dark, And whispered our words into the wind. Now, the work is free once more And open to those who seek it. For this, we give thanks."

"A Book of Shadows is not a book of laws or commandments. Everyone's shadows are different. This is the way one witch works, and some others with her. If you wish to use any of these ideas and techniques in your own work, welcome to them. They are not secret anymore."

The Principles
"The only law of witchcraft is The Threefold Law: Everything you do comes back to you three times. Earth Magic works Threefold: The Work is stated and performed in the World of Form; it goes out into the Invisible World And comes back to manifest in the World of Form. All work is for the good of all only And according to free will—thus harming none."

"The Magic of the Witch connects the Cosmic to the Earth. Witch magic is visible, tangible, and "practical." But the Overview is essential."

"We work with the World of Form, and in it, our magic manifests to the five senses. Our techniques also employ the five senses... even though we know full well that space is not defined by what we touch, see, hear, smell, or taste. We know that all space coexists, limited only by perception. With the Overview, our perception is the "sixth" sense -- the Spirit, represented in the pentagram by the Circle, which encompasses All."

"To clear the name of witchcraft; to spread the information about positive magic so that a world which has forgotten may benefit from it once again.
To work our witches' magic for unequivocal peace and safety on our home planet. To perfect Earth Magic, it may extend beyond the planet Earth."

This book's overall condition is very good, especially considering it is 44 years old. The covers have some regular shelf wear and age, and there are some small spots and scratches on them, but this is only aesthetic, and they remain in very good condition. It comprises 85 pages and is very hard to find in good condition, especially for a soft cover (no hardcover editions were ever produced from any print year).

Marion Weinstein was one of the first witches to release a Book of Shadows to the public. Here is the revised and updated version of Earth Magic, the author's personal book of magical practice, made available for today's Witches. Based on an in-depth study of the many facets of Witchcraft, Earth Magic presents religion as positive and life-affirming. The book is filled with practical how-tos, as is traditional in witchcraft. It is intended to be a springboard to unlock the reader's psychic Wiccan abilities and guide them into creating their own unique and personal work. Every technique is explained in detail, keeping with Weinstein's proviso that one should only attempt to work magic if one fully understands it. The goal is to encourage true Witchcraft expertise and creativity.

"Each of us has a myriad of lifetimes and personalities, and contrary to popular belief about reincarnation, these lifetimes are not sequential because time itself is not sequential."

The information from the original edition is still available, as well as a treasure trove of new material, some of which has never been seen before. In this thoroughly revised edition, you will learn:
-- How to set up psychic protection.
-- How to work string and cord magic.
-- Working with the phases of the Moon.
-- Forming and working with your own coven.
-- Visualization in a Witch's mode.
-- Choices of Deity alignments from a wide realm of cultures.
-- There is not one but two methods of manifestation: Creation manifestation and affinity manifestation.
-- Creating rituals, creating Words of Power, composing one's spells, using talismans, candles, pendulums, Witch's Bottles, scrying, oracles, and much more.

Marion Weinstein (1939-2009) was an author, teacher, media personality, and proud New York "city witch." Known as "The Ethics Witch," she is one of the founders of the modern witchcraft movement. She was the first to coin the phrase, define Positive Magic, and clearly delineate its use. Her radio show, Marion's Cauldron, was the first regularly scheduled Wiccan and psychic programming on record and was a New York phenomenon for fourteen years.
