Magic Forums

When I started out with becoming a practitioner, i was told to start off with learning and understanding the elements and their correspondence, and how to use it in making/casting spells. Luckily for me I came across this wounderful book by Scott Cunningham called "Earth, Air, Fire, and Water: more techniqes of natural magic". Its a great book with tons of info, i will offer you the most valuable info such as the 4 elements and their correspondence and for the rest i recomend getting the book your self (or mailing me).
