Wild Magic

Celtic Folk Traditions for the Solitary Practitioner
By Danu Forest
Intermediate
Practice

Shake off the energy of our frenetic modern-day life and reconnect to the wild magic of your heart. This book is an immersive guide to creating deep relationships with faerie folk, green kin, the ancestors, and the spirits of the land. Explore dozens of meditations and exercises based on Celtic lore that serve as energetic keys for accessing levels of reality and spiritual destinations that will forever transform your relationship to the here and now. Learn how to work with animal spirits, the powers of place, and the tides.

Discover the magic of the elements and attune your soul to the sun, the moon, and the cycles of the seasons. Connecting to nature in a magical way opens our awareness to a wider deeper source than anything we can comprehend. Wild Magic is all about sensing subtle energies, starting fires traditionally, practicing herbal magic, making a divnination kit, and so much more. This is a book drawn from country wisdom and Celtic tradition, with spells and rituals designed to channel your own modern wildness for the benefit of all.

Why it's recommended

  1. If someone asked me why I’d recommend Wild Magic by Danu Forest, I’d tell them it’s one of those books that sneaks up on you, but in a good way. It’s earthy, gentle, and actually feels like it was written by someone who has dirt under their nails and starlight in their pockets. Forest doesn’t talk at you; she kind of walks beside you, pointing toward the quieter, forgotten places where modern druidry and lived experience overlap. It’s a great book for anyone wanting a spiritual practice that feels wild but it’s still accessible. It’s less about “Here’s the One True Way” and more about weaving a relationship with the land, the seasons, and your own inner landscape, which is something I’m pretty much always hungry for.
