Ian Chambers’ The Witch Compass: Working with the Winds in Traditional Witchcraft is an essential read for anyone interested in the history and practice of traditional witchcraft. It is a comprehensive guide to the ancient art of working with the winds, with a unique focus on the spiritual and magical aspects of the craft’s central cosmology of the witch’s compass; a focal point of spirit travel, protection, conversing with spirits, and raising energy from the land itself through direct connection. As such, it’s also the most in-depth and thorough exploration of it that I’ve ever come across in both theory and practice. The book is written in a way that is both accessible and engaging without being watered down or sugar coated. It offers in-depth explanations of the various practices and rituals associated with the eight winds, and provides practical advice on how to use these to enhance one’s life and spiritual practice within their own craft.
