BEWITCHING THE ELEMENTS

Gabriela Herstik

A Guide to Empowering Yourself Through Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit

This title is perfect for women in their 20s and 30s; millennial feminists and progressives; and readers with an interest in reconnecting to nature, witchcraft, and "new New Age" spiritual practices like tarot, astrology, and crystals.

It's the new age of enlightenment, and more and more people are embracing witchcraft and other spiritual practices to tap into their inner strength and resilience, while aligning with something larger than themselves. The tools that Gabriela Herstik offers in BEWITCHING THE ELEMENTS will help you connect to the universe and your inner light.

Through earth, learn how to ground and create compassionate boundaries.
Through air, harness the breath, balance the body, and find presence in the moment.
Through fire, embody passion, burning away what no longer serves you, and learn to constructively work with anger.
Through water, explore your emotional depths and come back to the heart.
Through spirit, connect to your own sense of power, embracing all the lessons of the elements.

Committing to a path that serves our authentic selves is a radical act. When we do this work alongside nature, by turning to the elements, we find a map back to our intuitive and energetic wisdom.

Gabriela Herstik is the author of the "Ask a Witch" column on Nylon and the "High Priestess" column for High Times magazine. She writes for sites like Allure, Broadly, i-D, Dazed, and others. This is her second book.
