Foreword by Sky Alexander,

Annwyn Avalon
Published by Weiser Books, 2019
Water witch Annwyn Avalon presents a comprehensive guide to Celtic water
lore including spells, rituals, water spirits, and merfolk. She explores
the magic of the sea, but also features lakes, rivers, canals, swamps,
and other watery locations as well as the craft and magic that have been
and continue to be practiced at these places.
Within these pages, you will learn how to set up your own personal
water altars and shrines, gather or craft the magical tools of water
witchery, and access the power of rain and ice. Most crucially, you will
learn how to connect and communicate with the water spirits themselves.
"Annwyn Avalon takes us on a fascinating journey that explores the
various types of water and their associated folklore, deities, and magical
beings and offers practices and exercises that serve as a guide for
becoming a water witch and using the enormous power of this element."
- Sandra Kynes, author of Sea Magic: Connecting with the Ocean's Energy
"Annwyn Avalon's enchanted book dares to peer deep into the waters -
the mirror betwixt the worlds - revealing unto the reader a rich trove of
spirits, ancient deities, eldritch beings, stories and lore. Deeply practical
too, the book reveals tools, substances, rites, charms and spells, both
traditional and innovative, enabling the reader to fully explore, connect
with and employ water in all its forms as a potent vehicle for power and
transformation." - Gemma Gary, author of Wisht Waters: Aqueous Magica
and the Cult of Holy Wells, and Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways.
