Danaan Elderhill

I am the writer of "The Magic Book of Cookery", "The Magic Book of Totems", "The Book of Magic Objects" and "The Magic Book of Infusions and Aromas". These books combine food, teas and objects from today's life style with ancient magic rituals.

The underlying story, the source of these books (and my next book) comes from a witch coven that allegedly existed in the 17th century and had to invent new ways to practice magic without being noticed. They also discovered that the most effective magic is the one practiced with joy, fun and friendship spirit.

I have been practising Witchcraft and Shamanism since 2004. I then deepened my knowledge in the subject of metaphysics and other pagan belief systems. The books I am writing are to encourage people to learn more about Witchcraft and Paganism and in order to defeat stereotypical cliches.

In 2012, I joint a coven in the UK and in October 2014 I became a third degree priest of this London Coven.

I hope many of you will find these paths life fulfilling, as I have.
