Without air, our planet would be a lifeless globe. No life as we know it could exist without the combination of gasses wtih which our planet is fortunately supplied.
Though air is invisible it is an essential part of life. It is not only necessary for life to continue, it also affects our lives in often dramatic ways. Since it is invisible and yet so powerful it has been used in spells and magick for eons, and it also has found it's way - through the winds - into the folk-lore and mythology of peoples around the world.
The spells and techniques offered here utilize the power of elemental Air, best visualized as a gushing torrent of wind. Many of the spells themselves require a wind or at least a breeze.
One point of caution: Air magick is as unpredictable as the winds themselves.
