A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY WITCH!!
I have a couple books by Gabriela, and I already knew she was amazing. What I didn't know was that this book would be a portal to magick all by itself. From the first page to the last, Gabriela pours all her knowledge and soul in this book by teaching us how to work with the elements. This book has so much insight, information, and I made connections i never made before! As a baby witch this book has been one of the best ones I've read that have guided me to the right path. Thank you Gabriela!
Gorgeous writing, powerful magic
As a tarot reader who is slowly introducing intuitive magical practices to my work, Bewitching the Elements couldn't have arrived at a better time for me. This book is beautifully written, working through all five elements in powerful, thought-provoking ways. Gabby makes magic feel so personal and accessible, without the gate-keeping or judgement that is so often found in magical writing. My copy is already highlighted and marked up, and every time I pull it out, I learn something new. Packed with rituals, tarot spreads, spells, prompts, and resources, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about modern magic. Highly recommend! Meg // @3am.tarot

I am absolutely loving this book, I feel like it was written for me. Even convinced my sister and brother to get one too ❤️
Bringing Spirituality to the next gen
Gabriela's approach to Magick is fun, thoughtful and most importantly actionable! She brings witchcraft to the masses by making accessible via what you already have in your home. She breaks it down with a hint of pop culture, meditation and sacredness. She helps you empower yourself instead of presenting as a Guru. <3 (though she could totally be the Goddess we should all embody).
Inspirational

Illuminating
Gabriela gives great insight in Bewitching the Elements. She covers everything from tarot, meditation, and crystals, to chakras, herbs, and even fashion. Each element of course gets its own chapter, and within each chapter are different journal prompts, and tarot spreads to try out. These things help you get in touch with not only the element you want to work with, but with your own self. In each chapter, Gabriela gives different meditations for working with the element, and she talks a little bit about a few tarot cards with the corresponding element, such as Swords for Air, and Pentacles for Earth. Reading Bewitching is like being spoken to by a trusted wise and magical friend or mentor. The language is friendly; I felt like she was talking right to me, and like she liked and respected me. I tried out each tarot spread and got some good readings out of them. I also thought the meditations were easy to do, and felt really good doing them. The journal prompts helped me look within and I got to know myself better. All in all, the book was great at helping me work with the elements, and it gave me a lot of confidence in my craft.
Great connection to the elements
I was looking for a book that could bring me closer to the elements as I knew they had so much to teach me. This was just what I was looking for! It was a beautiful exploration not only of what they offer us but also how to work with them on a regular basis. I also loved the audible narrator!
