Elements of Ritual: Air, Fire, Water, and Earth in the Wiccan Circle By Deborah Lipp

The Elements of Ritual examines the reasoning behind the stages of a Wiccan circle. Deborah Lipp connects ritual process, mythology, mysticism and theology with Earth, Water, Fire and Air.

The revised and expanded text discusses elemental associations, gender and polarity, and raising and releasing the cone of power. Alternatives to traditional ritual sequences encourage informed personal choices within Wiccan practice rather than presenting one mandatory method for every practitioner.
