About the Book
Synopsis
Devas are the semi-divine elemental entities of Spirit, Earth,
Air, Water and Fire. Each element has specific correspondences
with the directions, moon phases, astrological signs, plants,
animals and attributes. And each elemental--and the benefits
and powers they bestow--can be accessed directly by various
means, methods and techniques.

lecturer on alternative spirituality in theory and practice.
She is the author of dozens of books ranging from brewing to
folklore. Her articles have appeared in Circle Network News,

All her efforts are the foundation of a positive spiritual
path. She is a trustee for the Universal Federation of Pagans,
a professional member of the Wiccan-Pagan Press Alliance, and
an Ordained Minister.
Reviews
"A most accessible text, this work introduces the reader to a
wide variety of cultures, enabling you to understand that
divinity is a universal concept."
~Rev. Paul V. Beyerl, author of The Master Book of
Herbalism, A Wiccan Bardo and A Compendium of Herbal
Magick
"Trish Telesco is one of the best known writers in her field.
Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, she also knows how to
relay that knowledge to her readers. There are folk tales,
ancient (and not so ancient) customs and beliefs, myths and
legends concerning each element. There are also visualization
and meditation exercises, rituals and spells, holidays,
deities, and so much more for each element. Dancing with
Devas is a 'must have' book.
~Steven R. Smith, author of Wylundt's Book of Incense
"Dancing with Devas is a finely crafted and empowering
tool for exploring the world of Devas and attuning to the
elements. An elementary primer filled to the brim with
practical knowledge and easy to understand step-by-step
instructions, this book provides rituals, meditations and
spellcraft specifically designed to enhance self-discovery.
Dancing with Devas shows you how to find your personal
power element, while learning the cross-cultural folklore of
the Devic realm. Trish Telesco demands nothing less than total
reciprocity with nature. Inspiring and most highly recommended
for all who have a keen interest in spirituality and the gifts
of Mother Nature."
~Sirona Knight, Contributing Editor, Magical Blend
Magazine, Author of Greenfire, Moonflower and
The Shapeshifter Tarot
"This gem of a book is essential for all who are interested in
learning about, and working with, the ancient and mysterious
elements. In my honest opinion, a Wiccan, shaman, ceremonial
magician, Neo-Pagan, or an individual considering such a
spiritual path would be doing him- or herself a great
injustice by not reading Dancing with Devas."
~Gerina Dunwich, Wiccan High Priestess, founder of the Wheel
of Wisdom School, Author of Wicca Craft, Candlelight
Spells, and The Wicca Spellbook
"Dancing with Devas is a delightful, lyrical lexicon of feys
and fairies, Devas, dwarves and all the fantastical dwellers
in the ethereal world which manifest as the magical elements
(air, earth, fire, water and spirit) on the physical plane. As
such, it is a useful resource for magical practitioners as
well as providing keys for neophytes and a compendium of
mythological information from worldwide cultures."
~Donald Michael Kraig, Author of Modern Magick, Former
Editor-in-Chief of Fate Magazine |
