Praise for this book
“With the element of Air being vital to our everyday lives, it is not surprising that Air Magic is extensive and detailed. Astrea Taylor (and other voices in well-placed essays) offers accessible wisdom and personal knowing, while sharing rituals that have helped me deepen my relationship with Air. From the myths to the deities, to creatures and guardians (and a lot more!), this book offers the gift of expansiveness into what we cannot see, but we deeply know.”
“Air Magic is a refreshing exploration of the element that is always with us. Perhaps using some air magic of her own to craft a book that is both clear and concise, Astrea leads the reader through history, personal experiences, and practices, providing an excellent overview for anyone interested in connecting to the power of this element.”
“Air Magic does a stellar job of breathing life into the magic of air. An element of creation and manifestation, travel and transformation, air is all around us and inside us. Astrea Taylor gives us everything we need to know about this vital element and much, much more.”

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Taylor’s 'Air Magic' stands as a solid, accessible entry point into elemental workings for those new to or intermediate in Wiccan practices. The text effectively bridges historical lore with actionable spells, making abstract concepts tangible through focus on sensory conduits like scent and sound. However, it may not suit advanced ceremonial magicians seeking complex ritual structures or deep academic historical analysis. Readers expecting dense theoretical discourse might find the tone too introductory. Ultimately, it is a practical tool for those wanting to 'soar' in their practice through clear, guided meditations rather than a scholarly treatise on atmospheric mysticism.
