Chapter 1 - INTRODUCTION There are things that are known, and things that are unknown: in between are the doors. WILLIAM BLAKE

For many centuries magicians have attempts to control the four powers of the elemental realm, in an effort to experience its energy, understand its power, and use this power for their own ends. However, it is also said by many practitioners that Elemental Magick is considered one of the most difficult, but natural Magickal Arts to master. The ancient magicians believed, particularly the Magician Cornelius Agrippa (1486 1534), that there are three worlds, Elemental, Celestial, and Intellectual, as described in Agrippa’s work “Three Books of Occult Philosophy”. Accepting this we see that the spirits, who govern the elemental regions, must obey the Archangels, and as you are only a little lower that the Angels, in evolutionary terms, the elemental spirits must therefore also obey you. This is part of Great Creators plans that all things vibrate to certain actions and powers; the Heavens, Stars, Elements, Animals, Plants, Metals, and Stones all have virtues which the Great Creator gave them to ensure that mankind, who practices these rituals, may progress in his spiritual journey, ultimately to Angelhood. The Pauline Art therefore instructs the ways of ascending by small degrees through each World, and as you progress through the information in this Book you will work with each of these Worlds, under the protection of the Archangels. 

The Elemental World works with natural phenomena;



The Celestial World works through and with astrological principles;



The Intellectual Worlds involves your Birth and Archangels and the other Planetary Angels.

Remember, these are not distinct discrete worlds, although they are unique in that the approaches you must use to contact the powers of these worlds may differ, they are however interlinked. They do not depend upon each other to function, but any vibration set-up in one World will vibrate within the others. As a practitioner of the Angelic Art, view them as steps in your magical training. Nothing more nothing less. As indicated there are four traditional Elements, Fire, Earth, Water and Air, of which all elemental inferior bodies are compounded. (Some traditions include the Spirit which rules over, or animates the main four, but as we are treading the traditional path, ignore this factor for the time being) This is not to say that each elemental spirit is composed of only its particular Element, or that its composition has equal parts of all Elements. This is not true, for Elemental Spirits to survive, they use transmutation, and union; and when destroyed, is reabsorbed back into their individual Elemental realms once again. Some elements are not pure. Consider the element of Earth, there may be a small proportion of water combined, and elements of Earth may be dissolved in Water, as may also the element of Air. 1

However, for our purposes we make the assumption that Elemental Spirits are wholly made up of an element, for they can only operate within this elemental environment. This is not to say that they cannot reach to one another, they can! Let’s attempt to understand what Elemental Magick is about, and a brief overview of its development. Where did the notion of four traditional elements come from? There is a very close relationship of the elements and the rivers of Eden. It was the children of Adam and Eve that then populated these cardinal areas following Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The Bible does not give a specific number. But lists Cain (Genesis 4:1), Abel (Genesis 4:2), Seth (Genesis 4:25), and many other sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4). The Eastern River was populated with children who had an association to the Astrological Signs of Gemini and Libra (Air Signs). Cain was one of Eve’s children that went East of Eden, which means he a twin (to his brother Abel) fell under the Astrological Sign of Gemini (Twins). The Western River was settled by those with the Astrological Sign of Aires, Leo and Sagittarius (Element of Fire). The Southern River populated with those under the sign of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio. Northern River settled by those under the sign of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn (Element Earth). “And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison (West): that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon (South): the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel (Tigris – East) : that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Perat (Euphrates - North).” (Genesis 2:10-14). So you can now see the elemental relationships to the Archangels and Astrological Sign. See Appendix F for a listing of Archangels and the Rivers of Eden. Michael Lewis states that “The earliest of Greek natural philosophers, Thales, in considering which was the most basic element in the cosmos, from which the cosmos was created, supposed that the cosmos was made of Water. Later, Heraclitus decided that the most basic element in the cosmos was Fire, and Anaxagoras named Air as the essential constituent of the cosmos. In the 6th Century BC, Empedocles first suggested that the cosmos was made of four constituent elements, which he named as Fire, Air, Water and Earth, in order from the most rare to the most dense. (2001 Michael Lewis) In the excellent work on Practical Elemental Magic, Rankine and d’Este indicated that the Christian view of the human body put forward by the early Christian theologians was that it was comprised of the four elements with the fifth element (aether) [Spirit] being the animating soul. This Christian view is very much the one which would continue through the centuries into the western esoteric traditions and the various schools of Magick working within it. (Rankine, & d'Este 18:2008) [My emphasis] To the ancients then the elements of Earth, Water, and Fire were very important to the early peoples. Their lives depended on Earth for growth and food, fire for protection, and their day to day lives depended upon a ready source of water. The element of Air an invisible substance was needed for breathing and represented also wind, or air in motion, which brought storms and rain. 2

Finally the Spirit, the fifth element, is the power of the human Spirit tied the living to the dead and held the promise of rebirth. So here you are working with the oldest recognized pure entities. However, as you will be using these powers through the protection of the Archangels, you may work with confidence. As with all the Books in the Archan Publishing Path Series, the philosophy behind some of the traditional magickal practices, and in this case the composition of the Elements should be of no concern to the practitioner as these are practical Books not philosophical tomes.

Chapter 2 – THE STRUCTURE OF THE ELEMENTS For all things come from the elements, be it in their purest state, or combinations there of. The elements make up all created things, be it stones, metals, plants, animals, angels, daemons, gods, devils, fiends, phantoms, as well as all other created things. Be it, within the infernal, terrestrial, or celestial realms, be it the spirit, chaos, or life, the elements lie therein. (Suba, High Magick: The Elemental Adept). If you consult a number of other texts on Elemental Correspondence you may find a difference between the some of the element associations, be assured that I have thoroughly researched the table correspondences below and these do align to the Pauline Art tradition. So having indicated this area which may concern some practitioners here is the basic table of Elements and their correspondences. This table will be expanded as we progress through the Book.

It is best to understand that the concepts of Father, Mother, Son and Daughter are used here only as symbols to express certain traits attributed to the respective spheres of existence. They have no religious connotations to them (The Son does not refer to Jesus Christ, for example), nor should they be viewed in the manner that we consider the sexual traits of mother and father, or the relationship between son and daughter.

For those who have studied the Hebrew language it is stated that each Hebrew letter corresponds to a number: most Hebrew documents even use the actual letters to indicated page numbers. Hebrew letters are also divided into three categories known as the three “mother” letters which correspond to the three elements of Air, Fire and Water. Earth is considered to constitute all three of the mentioned Elements and therefore was never associated with a particular letter. Therefore when working with the Elements, particularly when constructing Elemental talismans, you should include within your design, the appropriate Hebrew Letter which represents the Elemental you are working with: Element Earth

Hebrew Letter Name Tau

Water

Mem

Letter

Elemental Symbol Shekel of Gold

Cup of Joseph

5

Air

Aleph

Sword of David

Fire

Shin

Flowering Rod of Aaron

Although the Hebrew alphabet does not assign a letter to the element of Earth we can assign to this element the letter for Tau. This, in its original association is given the rulership of the Plant Saturn, who has a correspondence to the Element of Earth, however, at a deeper level the Tau symbol is also the Sigil for the Angel Lumiel, the Angel of the planet Earth. The metals that correspond to the four elementary forms are gold and silver for air; mercury for water; iron and copper for fire; and lead for earth. Talismans are prepared from them, having relation to the forces which they represent, and to the effects proposed to be obtained. Elemental images include the Sword of David; a sword amulet has been worn as a symbol of Justice Authority and Courage and a powerful protection against all forms of harm in gothic and occult folklore. Netanyahu, Israel president once said. "Our other hand grasps the sword of David in order to defend our people against those who seek to kill us." So the sword is a powerful symbol of protection.

The Shekel of Gold is just that, an amount of gold or a gold coin. Shekel came in to the English language via the Bible, where it is first used in the Book of Genesis. The shekel of gold was equivalent to about 2 pounds UK Sterling.

The Cup of Joseph, according to early Christian beliefs is that it is the cup used by Christ at the last supper. In addition to what there is Biblical information about Joseph, he was a soldier of Pilate who gave him the cup from the Last Supper. After Christ’s Resurrection, he was thrown into a dungeon where Jesus appeared to him and gave him the cup which had fallen out of his possession. Joseph was said, not only to have come to Britain, but to have settled at Glastonbury where he was given land by King Arviragus. However this mysterious cup “The Holy Grail” has never been found.

There is no known image of the cup, so its design and shape remain a mystery. If in fact it is a cup! The Flowering Rod of Aran is the staff which was carried by Moses' brother, Aaron. According to the Old Testament this staff was endowed with miraculous power. In the Rabbinical tradition it is described as being made of sapphire, and weighing forty seahs, or 10.80 pounds, and bore this inscription ‫דצכ עדש באחב‬, Translated, this inscription means: "To the extent of God let these come to pass". (Wikipeadia) Mathers indicated that in The Greater Key of Solomon, Solomon instructed that; "Upon the first Series of talismans thou shalt engrave the Letter Yod, symbolized by the Flowering Rod of Aaron. Upon the second the Letter Hé, symbolized by the Cup of Joseph. Upon the third the Letter Vau, symbolized by the Sword of David my father. And upon the fourth the Hé final, symbolized by the Shekel of Gold." (1888:126).

Chapter 3 - THE ELEMENTAL SPIRITS Much of our information about the actual Elementals themselves comes from the work of Eliphas Levi, in his work “The Conjuration of the Four Elements” and it is this work that much of the following has been distilled and combined with existing Angelic lore. According to Levi, spirits are like young children. They can torment those that invoking them too much, unless one has control of them by means of superior rationality and the protection of the Archangels. These spirits are those who often prepare disquieting or fantastic dreams. They are those who produce the movements of a divining rod, raps on walls and furniture and even manifest in our dreams. They are not ‘Good’ or ‘Evil’ they are just lost entities that are looking to be controlled. They, Elementals, are reported to have occasioned the nightmares of Saint Antony, and, very probably, the visions of Swedenborg. They are simply inquisitive and inoffensive. We can employ or abuse them like animals or children. Therefore the occultist who employs their help assumes a terrible responsibility, for he should ensure that they are not used for any evil purpose. In fact under the guidance of the Archangels this would not be allowed, and the practitioner would only be storing up for himself some form of Karmic retribution. So be warned, only use the spells of the Elements to assist and advance your personal development, and help your family members. Levi, also indicated that in order to work with the Elements you must have previously undergone the four trials of the ancient initiations. But the student will be relieved to know that this is not necessary, in today’s age. You must place trust in your Archangels, and be guided by your own intuition, just remember a practitioner who fears water can never rule over undines; those afraid of fire cannot command salamanders. The Elemental spirits will only help those they consider to be superior to them. You are a unique individual; you have chosen to study the sacred Pauline Art, the Magick of the Angels. You can command respect. Every time you think or communicate in some form or another, you are drawing on the spirit of Air. Therefore our connections with others are formed through Air. Air is elusive, it cannot be containable, it is unseen, but changeable. When you seek insight, discover a new idea, change your mind, clarify a vision, develop a plan or concentrate on your breathing, you are becoming Air. Air is intellect, truth and wisdom. If you have difficulty making decisions, taking action, understanding or being understood, Air can help you. You should form close relationships with this Element by have some form of representation, on your altar, if you have one, or integrated within your Elemental spells. Air is extremely difficult to truly represent, so the practitioner should visualize the air within his temple or work space as a pale yellow radiating field which surrounds him and his working space to a depth of approximately 5 metres. Fire is the state of want or desire. The Spirit of Fire is the life principle. It provides heat and light. It is the element of Spirit. It posses the power to transform the state of any substance. If you wish to improve your sense of humour, develop courage, confidence, or motivation, look to Fire. 9

Traditionally the Element of Fire is represented by your alter candles. Prometheus, according to Greek mythology, stole the Element of Fire from Heaven for the benefit of Man. This angered the Gods and therefore Prometheus was punished. This has a parallel with the fall of the Archangel Lumiel. The Chaldeans believed that the Earth would be consumed by fire when all the seven planets were in conjunction in the sign of Capricorn. This appears to contradict the current Astrological correspondences, as Capricorn is under the Element of Earth and the Archangel Cassiel. Water is the most psychic of all the elements. It cleanses, nourishes and reflects. It is passive and malleable; it takes on the shape of whatever contains it. The Holy Grail is associated with Water, the original Primordial Chaos. Water rules the emotions and the subconscious. If you have prophetic dreams, you are interacting with the spirit of Water. If you are lonely, depressed, overwhelmed or having trouble opening your heart, let Water clear the way for you. Water is necessary for the survival of all things. In order to strengthen your link to the Element of Water, place on your alter a small phial of pure spring water. If this is not possible simple tap water will do initially Finally when you eat, exercise or save money, you are interacting with the Earth Spirit. Stability is Earth's unique gift. Seeing, smelling, tasting and touching are functions of Earth. Earth is solid, rich, sultry, strong and dependable. It is the foundation for all the other elements. Earth is about getting results. Poverty, insecurity, obsessions or a sense of incapability can all be resolved with Earth. As you become proficient with the spells of the Earth you are advised to strengthen your connection with the Element. This can be done by placing a small vial or bottle of Earth on your alter. The earth may be obtained fro an ancient sacred site or just as effective from your own garden. The edited descriptions of the Elements have been taken from and article by Avalon De Witt* Elementals are usually only visible to those with clairvoyant sight and are more likely to be seen at night in the mountains or country away from cities, especially if you are tired or sleepy. For the reader who would like to explore the works of Eliphas Levi, Archan has published with this Book “The Conjuration of the Four Elements” - by Levi, Eliphas

Chapter 4 - THE ELEMENTS IN THE PRACTICE OF ANGELIC MAGICK. There are many paths to the Divine, some paths suit some students and some do not. This is not because you have any advantage or a reason for failing. All it means is that you do not have, at that time, the vibrationary link in your psychic wellbeing. It does not mean that you are inferior, or need to learn more. It means that that particular practice or ritual is not for you. Some practitioners have great success directly with the Archangels, and are happy to only use these rituals to communicate with their Birth Angels. Others are keen to practice all the different rituals in the Pauline Art. So for the practice of Elemental Magic you may succeed or not. It all depends upon your stage of psychic development.

You Must Discover Your Path - Your Birth Archangels Will Guide You

Previously it was stated that the Ancients believed that there were three worlds, Elemental, Celestial, and Intellectual. If fact there are four. And as you study the Pauline Art, the Magic of the Angels of Men, you will be introduced to the four worlds: 1

Natural World - The Elements - Earth, Airs Fire and Water

2.

Celestial World - The Planet their powers and their Ruling Angels

3.

Fixed Stars - The Stars that work through the Zodiacal belt

4.

Divine - The Spheres of the Angelic hierarchies.

Consider these to be like the skins of an onion, radiating out from the Element of Earth, the Natural World to the Divine and from the Divine down to the Element of Earth. This is the Path of enlightenment that each student must follow. The skins represent the levels of transmutation, through the Angel of Transformation, the Angel Raphael, of your consciousness to final integration with the Divine. No one is no more powerful than the other; they all vibrate the Divine web which links all mundane and living things. The only difference is the speed of result. So by studying Elemental Magic you are on the first rung of the Divine Plan as a student of this Angelic Art and you will progress through Earthly materialism to become free from the outside domination of time, situation and karma.

11

Chapter 5 - ELEMENTAL SYMBOLS Symbols use the Law of Attraction, so it is highly recommended that you use the Elemental Symbols presented below. If what you want to achieve in a spell, realise that it needs a particular vibrational quality also that by surrounding our thoughts with these same images will attract the thing you wish to have. So, each of the elements, Air, Fire, Water and Earth have a vibrational quality which you should incorporate in your spells. For those who are a little confused about the Element of Spirit, in the simplest form it is a combination of all the Elements. In all magickal systems symbols are also aligned to a particular colour, Elemental Magic is no exception. Each Element also has a traditional colour associated with it. The traditional symbols are all based on an equilateral triangle. Air is a triangle pointing upwards and with a horizontal line through the middle of it. Earth is a triangle pointing downwards and with a horizontal line through the middle of it. Fire is a triangle pointing up. Water is a triangle pointing down. Elemental Symbols and Colours

Air Yellow Wet/Hot

Earth Brown / Green Dry/Cold

Fire Red Hot

Water Blue Cold/Wet

Properties of the Elements The four traditional Elements are not viewed purely in physical terms. The properties of the Elements involve two basic interactions of expansion and contraction. The principle conditions of these properties are wet, dry, hot and cold. Air is wet and hot. Earth is dry and cold, Fire is hot and dry and Water is cold and wet.

Elemental Correspondences Correspondence tables can help you select which mundane items have vibrationaly links to the Elements, and these include stones, crystals, herbs, or other Magickal tools to use in a ritual or working. The concept is that everything has a signature that connects it to symbols and meanings. So by definition, a correspondence denotes a similarity between things or ideas. In Magick, a correspondence, or item carries the energy of the Element that is similar to what you want to achieve. 12

For instance, if you perform a ritual using a red candle you will be aligning to the Element of Fire. In other words, like attracts like. So utilizing the appropriate correspondences is traditional in most magickal traditions, and you will find, if you explore other systems that nothing is new. Medieval Grimoires contain lists and lists of correspondences, which may confuse some new practitioners, so in an effort to point you in the right direction, refer to the appendices at the end of this eBook for a full and comprehensive list.

Chapter 6 - SPELLS OF THE ELEMENTS Naturally when you perform the elemental spells given later in this eBook you will be working with that particular Elements spirit, but under the protection of the relevant Archangel. Under normal circumstances the Elemental spirits are relatively easy to contact however it must be noted that their powers are much specialised unlike Planetary Angels who often rule over many areas of knowledge and experiences. Therefore you must ensure that you contact the Elemental spirit which rules the particular area that you need assistance with. The following are the powers of the elemental spirits along with the name of each type: 1. Earth (Gnomes): Earth spirits will help the practitioner with situations which involve material possessions, wealth and employment situations. They are teachers in the magical properties of gems and minerals. If you want to clear your garden or place outside your home of bad influences, gain strength or endurance, achieve commitment, wisdom or patience. All these are governed by the Earth spirits. 2. Air (Sylphs): Sylphs help you to learn, they are teachers and will show you the way to extract and retain information. They rule the mind, spiritual matters and speech, all governed by the Elements of Air. 3. Fire (Salamanders): Spirits of the Element of Fire can help the practitioner control energy and vitality in order to bring about change into your environment. Fire is a cleansing, purgative element, and spells of fire may be used to rid places of vibrations of evil, contamination and even insects. From a human perspective the Element of Fire also rules blood, sap, life, and medical surgery. However, the spells of Fire are potent, DO NOT OVERDO THEM. Once a month is quite enough, fire is a dangerous element to stir up. If in doubt leave the spells of Fire alone, unless it is one of the Elements under the dominion of one of your Birth Archangels. 4. Water (Undines): Relationships are under the rulership of Undines and practitioners should petition the Element of Water to help resolve personal discord to with loved ones. Undines may be requested to calm situations in the home, but they also have rulership over the human traits of compassion, tenderness, forgiveness, modesty, and creativity. Undines can appear as attractive visions and therefore the student should understand that these visions are of spirits and treat them as such. Many of the elemental spells require the making of images, traditionally called 'Sympathetic Magic’ and this is achieved by making images or diagrams, of what you want done by the lesser -spirits (elementals), and images help them to understand. Elementals are on a far lower scale then man, they have an even lower mentality, you cannot tell them what to do, and you must show them. If you are one of the people who say 'I don’t believe until I’m shown', you are acting on the level of the elemental that must be shown, because they cannot think for themselves. On the next page is the Astrological Sigils assigned to their appropriate Elemental sector. This image represents the Elements and Angelic Rivers as taught by practitioners of Angelic Magic. 14

Note: The sign of the cross adopted by the Christians does not belong to them exclusively. It is also Kabbalistic, and represents the contrasts, and the quaternary equilibrium of the elements. The spells revolving around this symbol is explored in the Archan Publishing Book – The Book of the Angelic Cross.

15

Chapter 7 - SPELLS OF THE ELEMENT OF AIR The Sylphs are the Air spirits, the term originates from Paracelsus, who describes Sylphs as invisible beings of the air. This Element has the highest vibratory rate of the other three traditional elements. Sylphs are said to live on the tops of mountains and windy places where they are volatile and changeable as they work through the winds of the environment. They are appear with wings and are often confused with fairies. However they can assume a human form, but only for short periods of time. So every time you think or communicate, you are drawing on the Element of Air. Connections to others are formed though the power of the Element of Air, which you cannot restrain, change or contain. You should consult the Element of Air when you wish to develop your ideas, thoughts, mental agility and even creative thought. Air is intellect, truth and wisdom. If you have difficulty making decisions, taking action, understanding or being understood, Air can help you. When you wish to develop your understanding of the spiritual plane, knowledge in general, abstract learning, theories, clarity of speech, logic, proficiency with the spoken word, intellect and memory. Air is creative and is that which causes magickal intentions to become manifest. It is also associated with higher consciousness and wisdom, divination, and purification, mental and psychic work, intuition. clouds, inspiration, hearing, herbal knowledge, plant growth, freedom, revealing truth, finding lost things, instruction, telepathy, memory, new beginnings, learning the secrets of the dead, and mystical illumination. Increase your sensitivity to the Element by ensuring your home is open to natural air. Ensure that, weather permitting, you open the windows in your home. Listen to the wind, it is air in motion, and be aware of smells that are brought in on the air. The Archangels of Air include Anael, Raphael, and Uriel. Raphael is the traditional Archangel of knowledge and communication, and may be called to help with any related areas, such as improving your memory, learning languages, exams, dealing with bureaucracy and business matters. The Archangel Anael rules all artistic matters, drama, the arts, friendships, visual arts and partnerships. For the Archangel Uriel his rulership addresses magic of tumultuous change, revolution magickal force, those attempting to control your life through magical means. The rulerships of the Archangels indicated is limited and not complete, as the Archangels also rule certain planets and therefore also have governance of those planets powers. As we are only dealing with the Elements it is those areas which have a direct relationship to the element that you should work with. When working with the Archangels you should visualize the Archangel standing on top of a wind-swept hill, surrounded with wild flowers of clover or lavender. For the Archangel Raphael, try to visualise him as a young man dressed in a flowing white cloak with flashes of yellow and bodice. Also, as with the Greek God Hermes, he wears a winged hat and sandals. For the Archangel Anael he should be visualized as about is 5'0" tall with straight light blond hair, which is braided with wild flowers and roses, and possessing one pair of large cream wings.

16

Jackson & Howard (2003:256) say that the angel appears as dressed in emerald green tunic, carrying a lantern, and holding a wand tipped with a pine cone and decorated with multi-coloured ribbons. Uriel, as the Archangel of Magick he is sometimes portrayed holding a copper lamp (the lamp of enlightenment), a copper burnished disk engraved with mystical symbols or a sword. He is said to be three metres tall, and wearing a green robe, which the symbol of a winged bull is embroided, and his robe which is secured with a brown leather belt. His face is beautiful; he has green eyes with a feminine quality. His hair is black hair and he sports a pair of pure white wings. It is advisable to include relevant magickal correspondences in any Magick work, it add power to the ritual as it includes such alignment factors as colour, the moons phase, and general correspondences etc, are all in balance. The Element of Air represents intelligence and the arts, so many of your exercises will involve meditation on the element concerned and within this meditative exercise you will address the area you wish to work with to develop or improve. As an example, memory improvement. Your meditation should be developed around the following ritual. Air - Meditation Exercise You need to set-up an incense censer with charcoal and appropriate Air incense, or you may use frankincense or myrrh as it is also appropriate for Air meditative exercises. From a symbolic perspective burning some incense, just for the pleasure of it, will also attract the Element of Air to your home, meditations and rituals. If you are meditating indoors ensure that you have a flow of air through the room. Light your charcoal and when it is covered with a fine grey ash put some of the above indicated resin on to it. Let the fragrance of the incense fill the room, watch the smoke curling upwards, imagine it as clouds being blown by the wind, see the movement in the smoke, this is the power of Air. As the Air moves it generates movement in the physical world. Air represents the powers of the intellect and knowledge, and that Air gives life to other physical things (such as fire). Meditate on the elusiveness of Air, how all its qualities are tied in with this and its quality of movement. During your meditative exercise you may also concentrate on the qualities that you wish to personally improve. See in your minds-eye these qualities being adopted, improved, honed and sharpened. Consider your failings in this area, and see them improving.

Basic Ritual Before you commence any Air rituals (a ritual which is required to address an immediate problem area), firstly, set up your Altar with those items associated with the Element of Air (See Appendix B).

17

Complete the meditation exercise indicated above, and then commence your actual ritual with a prayer to the Archangels of the Element and then to Sylphs of Air:

PRAYER TO THE ARCHANGELS OF THE ELEMENT OF AIR

“Archangels of God, Anael, Raphael, and Uriel. To whom God's love entrusts me here; Ever this day be at my side, To light and guard, To rule and guide. Amen”.

PRAYER OF THE SYLPHS “Spirit of light! Spirit of wisdom! whose breath gives and takes away again the forms of all things! Thou, in whose presence the life of being is a shadow which changes, and a vapor which passes away. Thou who ascendest the clouds and movest on the wing of the winds. When thou breathes! forth, infinite spaces are peopled! When thou inhalest, all that comes from thee returns to thee! Endless movement in eternal stability, be thou eternally blest! We praise thee and bless thee in the changing empire of created light, of shadows, of reflections and of images; and we long unceasingly for thine immutable and imperishable light. Let the ray of thy intelligence and the heat of thy love penetrate even to us; then what is movable will become fixed; the shadow will become a body; the spirit of the air will become a soul; the dream will become a thought, and we shall no longer be borne away by the tempest, but shall hold the bridle of the winged steeds of the morning, and shall direct the course of the evening winds that we may fly into thy presence. O spirit of spirits! O eternal soul of souls! O imperishable breath of life! O creative inspiration. O mouth which inspires and respires the existence of all beings in the flux and reflux of thy eternal Word, which is the divine ocean of movement and of truth. Amen!” The Conjuration of the Four Elements, by Eliphas Levi.

Now you may progress to the actual rituals themselves. Air – Rituals: To Stimulate Creativity Some would say that creativity is an inherent skill, you are born with it, and to some respects this is so, however, a fair degree of creativity may be learnt, you just need to tap into your subconscious and let the creativity pour forth. Complete the ritual prerequisites as indicate earlier. Then light a yellow candle and position it on your Altar. Contemplate the flame and imagine the light of the flame casting its light in your subconscious mind. Just imagine the inside of your head being illuminated through your eyes. You may find this a little difficult to achieve at first, by do persevere. When you feel the light is established visualise a painting or picture you are quite familiar with. 18

Explore the image, examine it in detail, what you like and do not like. Try to establish what you would have done differently if you were the painter. You can perform this analysis with a song, a poem or the plot of a book you have recently read. Let your imagination run wild, you do not have to restrict yourself; do not let any negativity enter your contemplation or evaluation. If it does, stamp your foot hard on the floor and return to your evaluation. When you feel that you achieved a step forward in your creativity development, just extinguish the candle, and return to the everyday. Repeat as many times as you wish, and see you creative abilities grow and grow. To Improve Mental Focus Retire to a quiet area of your home, your Temple if you have one; sit in front of an open window. It is best if you perform this ritual when the wind is blowing and you can feel it on your face through the open window. If the window faces East, all the better, but if not do not worry. Start to take deep, slow, steady breaths. Focus on taking deep, slow, breaths for a few minutes. After this doing this for a number of minutes visualize the very Air around you shimmering with light and feel the wind on your face. As you breathe deeply and slow, imagine that you are absorbing this shimmering Air through your lungs, and the shimmering light starts to spread throughout your body. Keep breathing until your feel your whole body is glowing with the light. Now confidently believe that your mental focus has improved, your memory has improved, your retentive powers improved, and that you will easily commit to memory all the information you may require to succeed in a particular action. Continue until you feel that the Element of Ait has accomplished the request.

To Practice Mirror Magic To become very proficient at Mirror Magick you will need to study a little more than this spell teaches however, it is a good place to start the development of your clairvoyant powers. You may use this ritual to assist you to overcome inner problems, and seek answers which may help with making difficult personal decisions. This ritual is best performed at night so that your Temple or room may be darkened. Prior to commencing the ritual obtain a personal mirror, but one that has only been used the majority of the time by you. Light a candle of white, or yellow and place this in a position so the light of the candle is reflected on the surface of the mirror. Now, having performed the meditative exercise and the prayer to the Archangels and the Sylphs, sit quietly looking into the mirror. Try to look past the surface of the mirror, look through it, as if you are trying to see beyond the surface. Do not strain your eyes; just concentrate on the reflected candle light. Now, formulate your question, frame it simply and to the point, and start to repeat it in your mind, speeding up each repetition until you cannot repeat it any faster. Then stop! Clear you mind and gaze into the mirror. 19

When you feel like it, start the question repetition once again and finally repeat for a final time (three repetitions). Lastly, clear your mind and let your attention focus on the mirror once again. Become absorbed in the reflection and note any images that may appear on the mirrors surface. You may have to perform this ritual a number of times for it to become effective, and to this end you may also incorporate it into your meditative exercise above, but omitting and questions, just seeking the Element of Air to assist you develop your psychic abilities. Air Incense Recipe Here is a general purpose incense receipt which is recommended that you compound and use in your Air rituals.     

Frankincense 3 parts Benzoin Resin 2 parts Sandalwood 1 part Lavender 1 part Pine oil a few drops.

A part can be any measure, a teaspoon full, an ounce or even a pinch. The secret is that the “part” uses the same measure.

Chapter 8 - SPELLS OF THE ELEMENT OF EARTH In this section Earth Spells are a collection of magic spells based on an association with our natural habitat the Earth, Each spell draws upon the powers contained within your home environment. The Archangels related to the Element of Earth are the Anael, Cassiel, and Raphael. The Elemental Spirits are Gnomes (Goblins), who Paracelsus classified them as Earth Elementals, who he described as two spans high, very reluctant to interact with humans, and able to move through solid earth as easily as humans move through air. There is conflicting descriptions of the Archangel Anael some researchers have indicated that the Archangel Anael is 5'2" tall with straight light blond hair. Others describe her as having long black hair, braided with wild flowers and roses, and possessing one pair of large cream wings. Others describe her as an androgynous figure long black hair and with large gray wings approximately 6' 0" tall. Finally, Jackson & Howards (2003:256) say that the angel appears as dressed in emerald green tunic, carrying a lantern, and holding a wand tipped with a pine cone and decorated with multi-coloured ribbons. Archangel Raphael may be visualised as a young man dressed in a flowing white cloak with flashes of yellow and bodice. Also, as with the Greek God Hermes, he wears a winged hat and sandals. Archangel Cassiel appears as an old man, as depicted in many Tarot Cards (The Hermit), holding a Lantern, Staff and may also hold an hourglass. (Jackson & Howard: 256 - 2003). The Magus he is shown as having long copper hair and a beard, riding a dragon. Prior to commencing the practice of Earth spells it is advisable to connect with the natural Earth environment, that is build up your connection to the Earth, which may be attained by walking bare foot when walking around your garden (weather permitting), start your own Earth element or even grow a houseplant, our herb garden which may be grown on your window sill. Earth plants include; comfrey, honeysuckle, ivy, primrose, sage, and verbain. However, you may also choose native plants, from your location which will not only enhance your gardening experience but bring you closer to the Element of Earth, making your gardening experience more pleasurable and environmentally friendly. You may also meditate in locations governed by the element of Earth, such as caves, canyons, forests, groves, valleys, fields, farms, gardens, parks, and mines. As previously indicated Earth Magick involves the use of herbs and plants. Using the correct herb to attain your desire along with the other Elemental correspondences can be very effective. Burying something, or making a simple offering to the Earth, is very effective in establishing the elemental link you are seeking. Try using gems or crystals and burying them in the Earth under an appropriate tree while making your wish can be very effective. Earth spells are safe to perform; however, as with all Magickal operations caution should be applied. As with all spells, their effectiveness is largely attributed to the Will of the Magician and his or her relationship to the surrounding environment. 21

They involve in some cases the making of images, which traditionally is called 'Sympathetic Magic’ and performed by making images or diagrams, of what you want to happen by the Spirits of the Earth on your behalf. Remember that Elementals are on a far lower scale then the Archangels and also Man, so you may work with them safely. Earth - Meditation Exercise You need to set-up an incense censer with charcoal and appropriate Earth incense, or you may use frankincense or myrrh as it is appropriate for all meditative exercises. You should try to meditate in your garden, however if you are meditating indoors ensure that you have a dish of garden earth near to you. Light some charcoal, in an incense burner and when it is covered with a fine grey ash put some incense on to it. Let the fragrance of the incense fill the room or swirl around you in the garden. Concentrate on the dish of earth, and try to visualise the Earth Spirits appearing on the earth of the dish. During your meditative exercise you may also concentrate on the qualities that you wish to personally improve. See in your minds-eye these qualities being adopted, improved, honed and sharpened. Consider your failings in this area, and see them improving.

Basic Ritual Before you commence any Earth rituals (a ritual which is required to address an immediate problem area), firstly, set up your Altar with those items associated with the Element of Earth (See Appendix D) Complete the meditation exercise indicated above, and then commence your actual ritual with a prayer to the Archangels of the Element and then to Gnomes of the Earth: PRAYER TO THE ARCHANGELS OF THE ELEMENT OF EARTH “Archangels of God, Anael, Cassiel and Raphael. To whom God's love entrusts me here; Ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, To rule and guide. Amen”. PRAYER OF THE GNOMES “Invisible King who has taken the earth as a support, and who has dug abysses in order to fill them with the omnipotence! Thou whose name makest the arches of the world tremble! Thou who makest the seven metals circulate in the veins of stone; Monarch of seven luminaries! Rewarder of subterranean workmen! bring us to the desirable air and to the kingdom of light. We watch and work without respite. We seek and hope by the twelve stones of the Holy City, for the talismans which are buried by the magnetic nail which passes through the centre of the earth. 22

Lord! Lord! Lord! Have pity upon those who suffer! Enlarge our hearts! Let us be free and raise up our heads! Exalt us! O stability and movement! O Day invested by night! O Darkness veiled in light! O Master who never retainest the wages of thy workmen! O silvery whiteness! O Golden Splendor! O Crown of Diamonds, living and melodious! Thou who bearest the sky upon thy finger, like a ring of sapphire! Thou who hidest under the earth, in the kingdom of gems, the wonderful seed of stars! All hail! Reign; and be the Eternal Dispenser of riches, of which thou hast made us the guardians. Amen.” The Conjuration of the Four Elements, by Eliphas Levi.

Now you may progress to the actual rituals themselves. Earth – Rituals: The Protection Jar Early Magicians would make Protection Jars, using an earthenware container, usually of clay. However, many practitioners of Elemental Magick now favour glass which is 90% sand and therefore another ideal material for Earth Magick. Also the contents of the jar may be arranged into visible layers, creating an attractive display object, which will not elicit any embarrassing questions from curious visitor to your home. So by following these instructions you will casting a spell of protection and power for the home, and as the jar matures through use, its Magickal power will grow in strength and protective power. You will need: - a brown, dark green or even black glass jar, approx 6 inches tall. - a small amount of clean river sand - a selection of stones/gems (See appendix C) - a selection of leaves (See appendix C) Wash your chosen jar in clean water in which a little salt has been added. Leave the jar to dry on its own, and polish with a clean cloth once dry. Place a layer of sand, approximately 1 inch or 25mm in the bottom of the jar. Next place a layer of stones which you have picked up on your travels, follow with a layer of dried related herbs and leaves, a layer of salt (mined or rock salt not sea salt) and finally, top off with a selection of associated stones/gems. Now place a piece of lead metal on top of the gems, ensuring that there is at least one inch between the gems and the top of the jar. Between the first day of the Full Moon to the Third Quarter, you should dedicate your jar to the element of Earth and the Archangels Anael, Cassiel, and Raphael. You may pick one of the Archangels days to do this; Friday, Saturday or Wednesday. Stand out in your garden, facing North, if you do not have a garden any place out in the open will do. If you can, undertake your dedication in a forest, valley or cave.

23

Say the following: “Archangels, Anael, Cassiel, and Raphael please add your powers to the Element of Earth, May the Elemental Gnomes, detract evil from my home. Protect my land. Protect my home, Protect all who reside on my land. Ban evil from this place and empower this jar to absorb and dissipate all evil influences.” Next place the jar near to your homes entrance door, either outside the door, or inside your hall. Then for the next 5 days pick up a single stone during the day and place it in the jar, on top of the lead metal, when you return home. As you place the stone in the jar say: “Archangels, Anael, Cassiel, and Raphael Protect” Only one stone per day for the next five days. Once the jar is complete, place on its lid and now it will be fully charged with power and will protect your home from unwanted influences.

To Remove Pests from your Garden or Home If you want to clear your home, garden or place outside your home of weeds, bad influences, or anything else, make an earthen or clay image on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, (Saturday is preferred), then bury the image in the garden on the same day, or the following Saturday, and let the Earth Elementals get on with the work of helping you to eliminate the problem situation. And you don’t need any special preparations apart from what is given here. If your artistic abilities are a little wanting, do not worry, the image must represent the situation to you. If the situation is a little hard to form into an image, say “dry rot” make the image as abstract as you wish then when completed write “dry rot: somewhere on the image. Get the idea?

To Create Stability in Your Life The Element of Earth represents stability and therefore it this element that you should approach to instil or achieve stability into your live. This is what you should do; One of the tools of the Earth Element is the Pentacle, and it is a pentacle that you will construct to indicate that you require stability to be generated in you, or your family’s life. On a Saturday, take a piece of lead (be very careful as lead is a poisonous metal, so handle it carefully and wash your hands after handling) and cut it into a circle. Size is not important; just ensure that you can engrave the following image on the lead disk. The image to be engraved onto the lead seal is the cross of balance and a pentagram. The balanced cross is also call the equal-armed cross, Greek cross or square cross. It also represents the four elements, and it is the element of Earth that we wish to achieve the balance of the elements on our behalf.

24

The basic Elemental Seal should look like this:

Finally you should write your name, the name you are most commonly referred to, if your name is Jonathan, but friend and family call you John, the inscribe John on the reverse of the Elemental Seal. If you have not made the Seal on the Saturday of dedication, indicated below, then wrap the Seal in a black cloth till the time you will be performing the dedication ritual. During the period of the Full Moon to the Third Quarter, at midnight on a Saturday, you must dedicate your Seal to the Element of Earth. To do this go into your garden barefoot and facing North, first call on the Archangels of the Element of Earth “Archangels of God, Anael, Cassiel and Raphael. To whom God's love entrusts me here; Ever this night be at my side, to light and guard, To rule and guide. To assist the Element of Earth achieve this request. Amen”.

Now repeat the prayer of the Gnomes; PRAYER OF THE GNOMES “Invisible King who has taken the earth as a support, and who has dug abysses in order to fill them with the omnipotence! Thou whose name makest the arches of the world tremble! Thou who makest the seven metals circulate in the veins of stone; Monarch of seven luminaries! Rewarder of subterranean workmen! bring us to the desirable air and to the kingdom of light. We watch and work without respite. We seek and hope by the twelve stones of the Holy City, for the talismans which are buried by the magnetic nail which passes through the center of the earth. 25

Lord! Lord! Lord! Have pity upon those who suffer! Enlarge our hearts! Let us be free and raise up our heads! Exalt us! O stability and movement! O Day invested by night! O Darkness veiled in light! O Master who never retainest the wages of thy workmen! O silvery whiteness! O Golden Splendor! O Crown of Diamonds, living and melodious! Thou who bearest the sky upon thy finger, like a ring of sapphire! Thou who hidest under the earth, in the kingdom of gems, the wonderful seed of stars! All hail! Reign; and be the Eternal Dispenser of riches, of which thou hast made us the guardians. Amen.” Adding; “Gnomes of the Element of Earth, bring into my life stability and protection” Take the Elemental Seal and bury it as near the front door of your house as possible. If you live in a flat or apartment, then glue it to the door frame in an unobtrusive position. You may also use your ingenuity and place the Seal in a pot plant near to the front door, either inside or outside the apartment or flat. This seal will generate stability in your home.

Chapter 9 - SPELLS OF THE ELEMENT OF WATER The Element of Water is the element which is aligned to the force of creation. This natural element is cleansing, represents fluidity, maturity, healing and psychic experiences. In nature, it represents the famine principle. Water has the power of taking on different shapes, depending on the container it is poured into; it is a heavy element which has force of movement and emotion. We all have a very close relationship to the element as our bodies, as we are 90% water in composition Finally without water Man could not live, and the Earth would die. The Element of Water is ruled by the Archangels Gabriel, Sachiel, and Samael and the elemental creature is the Undine. What do the Archangel look like, well some adepts describe the Archangel Gabriel as often appearing as a mature male, shrouded in white/silver glow, which is accentuated by his dazzling white robe. Some say he also has a silver crescent ornament on his brow (Jackson & Howard 2003: 255). Sachiel appears in a purple robe with a cloak, in the image of an older man with gray hair. He also holds a sceptre (Jackson and Howard 2003:256). Jackson & Howard describe the Archangel Samael as a tall male, wearing a scarlet tunic and a cloak. He sports a breastplate on which there is engraved a pentagram. His hair is red and worn in a ponytail. (The Pillars of Tubal-Cain 2003: 257). For David Goddard, Samael appears as a being of scarlet flame, with sparks of green. His armour is mirror like, and he wields a sword of pure flame, on which appears Yod-He-Vau-He of the Sacred Tetragrammaton is inscribed (The Sacred Magic of the Angels 1996:8) and Guilley, describes Samael as having long hair which streams from his navel, whilst flying. and having 12 wings. (317:2004 Remember though that all Angels are personal to you and they tend to adopt the appearance which you will find attractive. So when you see your Angel it may not conform to the appearances described above. Undines are also called Ondines, these elemental spirits, where first assigned to the element of water by Paracelsus. They are described as fairy-like creatures; who. it is said, are able to gain a soul, by marrying a man and bearing his child. Their natural environment is forest pools and waterfalls. In folklore they have possess beautiful voices, which, if you listen carefully, may be heard over the sound of water.

27

The Element of Water represents emotions and intuition, and to cultivate a relationship to the Element of Water, you should, when bathing, include the flowers/herbs; Chamomile, Rose Petals, or thyme to your bath water. Try only to drink pure spa water. Experience the pleasure of contemplating the falling rain, collect rainwater and also add it to your bathwater and pot plants. So if you need assistance with such matters as emotions, love, sorrow, courage, psychic abilities, fertility, the third eye, wisdom, vision quests, self-healing, or sorrow, then work with the Element of Water.

Water - Meditation Exercise You need to set-up an incense censer with charcoal and appropriate Water incense, or you may use frankincense or myrrh as it is appropriate for all meditative exercises. On your Altar place a bowl of well or spa water. Light some charcoal, in your incense burner and when it is covered with a fine grey ash put some incense on to it. Let the fragrance of the incense fill the room. Concentrate on the bowl of water, and try to visualise the Water Spirits appearing in the water. During this exercise dip your fingers in the water and massage the area of your third-eye. Splash some of the water on your face and over your hands. Immerse yourself in the experience and implore the Spirits of Water to assist you. At the conclusion of the meditative exercise, drink a small amount of the water from the bowl. During your meditative exercise you may also concentrate on the qualities that you wish to personally improve. See in your minds-eye these qualities being adopted, improved, honed and sharpened. Consider your failings in this area, and see them improving.

Basic Ritual Before you commence any Water rituals (a ritual which is required to address an immediate problem area), firstly, set up your Altar with those items associated with the Element of Water (See Appendix E) Complete the meditation exercise indicated above, and then commence your actual ritual with a prayer to the Archangels of the Element and then to the Undines of Water: 28

PRAYER TO THE ARCHANGELS OF THE ELEMENT OF WATER “Archangels of God, Gabriel, Sachiel and Samael. To whom God's love entrusts me here; Ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, To rule and guide. Amen”.

PRAYER OF THE UNDINES “Terrible king of the sea! Thou who boldest the keys of the cataracts of heaven, and who enclosest the subterranean waters in the hollow places of the earth! King of the deluge and of rains, of springtime! Thou who openest the sources of streams and fountains! Thou who commandest the moisture (which is like the blood of the earth) to become the sap of plants! We adore and invoke thee! Speak to us, ye moving and changeable creatures! Speak to us in the great commotions of the sea, and we will tremble before thee. Speak to us also in the murmur of the limpid waters, and we will desire thy love. O immensity in which all the rivers of being lose themselves, which ever spring up anew in us! O ocean of infinite perfections! Height which beholdeth thee in the depth! Depth which breathes thee forth in the height! Bring us to the true life through intelligence and love! Lead us to immortality through sacrifice, in order that one day we may be found worthy to offer thee water, blood, and tears, for the remission of sins. Amen.”

The Conjuration of the Four Elements, by Eliphas Levi.

Now you may progress to the actual rituals themselves.

Water – Rituals: Ritual to help improve your Scrying Psychic Power Under the Element of Air, you were introduced to the use of a Magick Mirror. Here we will use the Element of Water to help you develop your psychic (vision-quest) abilities. But please note, not all of you have the ability to develop this specific psychic ability, scrying. If you have difficulties using Magick Mirrors or Scrying Bowls, then do not persist, you are probably one of those that cannot develop these skills. Obtain a large bowl which has not been used for any other purpose. The bowl should be Blue-Green, Pale Green, Turquoise, or Aquamarine. It may be metal, glass or porcelain, the choice is yours. If it is metal you may paint it the required colour(s). So it is probably worth buying one new, customise it to your preference and once completed, only use it for the purpose of scrying. The bowl may be as large and ornate as you wish.

29

Once you have selected an appropriate bowl, you should add to the outside of the bowl, that is equally spaced, four times around its perimeter the Symbol for Water, using a rich blue/green colour. Inside the bowl glue three of the elements gems at the three points of the Symbol of Water as shown below.

Select one of three of the following gems; Amethyst, Aquamarine, Beryl, Blue Tourmaline, Blue Topaz, Blue Fluorite, Coral, Opal, Pearl, , Lapis Lazuli or Sodalite. and set them securely with glue (waterproof) to the three points of the triangle that you have painted inside the bowl

Finally, select a further gem and set it on the rim of the Scrying Bowl, which should always be towards your body when you actually scrying. When you are ready to start your Scrying Ritual, you may commence your ritual on any day, but try to use Monday, Tuesday or Thursday at sunset preferably, or in the hour of the appropriate Archangel. See table below and Appendix I. Gabriel

Tradition indicates that well water should be used. However, bottled mineral/spa water, or unpolluted stream, pond or river water may be used. Settle comfortably in front of your altar, which for this ritual should face South. Place a green candle so the light of the candle will illuminate the surface of the water in the bowl. 30

Take a few deep breaths and relax. If you feel tension being generated, concentrate in the area concerned, and then say “Relax, Relax, Relax”

Now say: “I summon the spirit of Water; show me what shall come to pass.”

Do not stare intensely at the water, but hold a steady and relaxed stare, look below the level of the water and clear your mind. If you are successful images will appear in the water, which you must remember may be symbolic of the solution that you are seeking. Benjamin Rowe indicates that you should at the same time imagine, and feel a total confidence, that the answer to anything you look for will appear to you in this mirror [the water]. Don’t get bogged down in how the mirror [scrying bow] does this, simply generate an emotional confidence that it works. (Rowe, 17:1998) [Italics are my addition] Rowe goes on to say that the basic use of this mirror [scrying bowl] is fairly simple. You hold the thought of what you want to know about in your mind, and then you imagine that the mirror [water] is "tuning in" to that thought, using the thought to make a connection to some place where the answer can be found. Once you feel that the mirror is tuned, release the thought and wait in mental silence for images to arise out of the darkness of the mirror. In some instances the images will be accompanied by meanings that you will be able to "hear" or sense in your mind. (Rowe, 17:1998) [Italics are my addition]

To Heal an Emotional Situation In order to heal an emotional situation, purchase two new deep blue, deep green or blue/green candles on a Monday when the Moon is between New Moon and the First Quarter phase. On the day of Monday, Tuesday or Thursday take the candle and engrave into the shaft of the candle the Elemental Symbol of Water. On the opposite side of the Elemental symbol engrave in your home language what emotional situation you wish to improve. (i.e. I wish to see the ……. situation improve) . On the selected day, when the Sun has set place the candle into a bowl of well or spa water, You may use your scrying bowl, placed on your altar. Light the candle with a taper, not directly from a match or lighter, visualize the situation which is giving you pain improving. You may leave the candle to burn out naturally or, which is recommended, when you feel you have contacted the Water Element, extinguish the candle, 31

use a candle snuffer do not blow out the candle, and repeat the next night, and keep repeating the ritual until the candle has burnt away. Only perform the repeat-ritual during the period of New Moon to Full Moon. On the second night of the Full Moon, take your second candle, and repeat the process as above, However, on the opposite side of the Elemental symbol engrave the emotional situation that need to be eliminated (i.e. eliminate from my life ……….), also visualise the situation being eliminated or banished from your life. Again you may leave the candle to burn out or you may use the repeat-ritual, re-lighting the candle each following night. It is important to note that if you are performing the repeat-ritual it should only be undertaken between the second night of the Full Moon and the first day of the Last Quarter. You may perform this ritual each new Lunar Phase until your situation improves.

Negativity Protection Pool This is a simple but very effective ritual, take a bowl, you may use your scrying bowl if you have made one. Fill it with well-water or bottle spa water. Depending on the actual negativity, place the appropriate gem or stone into the bowls water and leave it to absorb the negativity. Use the following stones or gems for: Amethyst – removes anger and negative thoughts. Aquamarine - provides a calm atmosphere were fears are released and healed. Beryl - provides healing and removes discord between lovers and friends. Blue Fluorite - eliminates stress, relieve loneliness, and enhances mental clarity. Lapis Lazuli - increases concentration, instincts, and promotes happiness. Quartz - although not ruled by the Element of Water may be used to balance emotions, dispels fear, wards off evil and provides protection. As you place the stone/gem into the water say;

“I summon the spirit of Water; an request protection. May evil and negativity be banished from my life.” Gaze into the water at the stone and visualize the power of water in the bowl entering the stone/gem, empowering it with the powers of the Element of Water. Leave the water bowl where you can view it everyday. When you see an improvement in the situation, simply empty the water from the bowl on the ground in the garden and place the stone/gem in a position where its absorbed power may continue to be dissipated throughout your home. Repeat weekly or as you feel it is needed.

Chapter 10 - SPELLS OF THE ELEMENT OF FIRE The spells of the Elemental Spells of the Western River concern making images that must be burned in fire once completed, as the Western River is ruled by the Angels of Fire. Naturally this is not possible if you are constructing a metal talisman to the Spirits of Fire. The Archangels of the Element of Fire are; Sachiel, Samael, and Michael. The Elemental Spirit of Fire is the Salamander and without these spirits fire could not exist. They are present in every fire and flame. The salamander is considered the strongest and most powerful of all the elementals, but can mischievous, as they have domain over fiery tempers and actions. They are like children in that they don't fully understand the results of their actions. The descriptions of Sachiel and Samael appear on page 27 but for the Archangel Michael, he appears as a tall young man, blonde hair and has yellow/golden coloured eyes. He is usually dressed in a golden cloak and tunic. He carries a large sword in his right hand. (Jackson & Howard, 2003:253). And sometimes depicted with the morning star of Lumiel on his brow. (Jackson & Howard 2003:189). The image of the Sun is the image of a beardless man with a beautiful face, having a crown on his head and a lance in his hand, and before him is the image of a head and a man's hand and the rest of his corpse like a horse with four hooves, lying reversed, that is with hands and feet upraised. . (Greer & Warnock, 2011:140). For David Goddard, the Archangel Michael appears as a figure of warm, living sunlight, great aura-wings of gold and salmon pink. He carries a lance of flame – the spear of the Sun. (1996:3) As with the other Elemental Spirits, you must open-up yourself to their power and experience it’s force. The simplest action you can perform in this respect is the lighting of a candle, contemplate the flame and see what it can reveal. Spontaneity is also ruled by the Element of Fire, try to be spontaneous in your actions to feel Fires power. Fire represents courage and daring. The rituals of Fire quite numerous, and involve such techniques as Bonfire and Candle Magick. So if you are experiencing situations that involve; surgery, destruction, courage, strength, physical exercise, self-knowledge, loyalty, passion, authority, transformation, purification, heat, flame, embers, lifeblood or sexuality, approach the Element of Fire for help and assistance for fire Magick is quickly manifested and filled universal energy.

Fire - Meditation Exercise You need to set-up an incense censer with charcoal and appropriate Fire incense, or you may use frankincense or myrrh as it is appropriate for all meditative exercises. On your Altar place a candle of bright red or orange. Light some charcoal, in your incense burner and when it is covered with a fine grey ash put some incense on to it. Let the fragrance of the incense fill the room. Concentrate on the candle flame, and try to visualise the Fire Spirits appearing in and around the candle flame. Place your hand near to the candle and feel its heat, as you watch the dancing flame.

34

During your meditative exercise you may also concentrate on the qualities that you wish to personally improve. See in your minds-eye these qualities being adopted, improved, honed and sharpened. Consider your failings in this area, and see them improving. Basic Ritual Before you commence any Fire rituals (a ritual which is required to address an immediate problem area), firstly, set up your Altar with those items associated with the Element of Fire (See Appendix D) Complete the meditation exercise indicated above, and then commence your actual ritual with a prayer to the Archangels of the Element and then to the Salamanders of Fire:

PRAYER TO THE ARCHANGELS OF THE ELEMENT OF FIRE “Archangels of God, Michael, Sachiel and Samael. To whom God's love entrusts me here; Ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen”.

PRAYER OF THE SALAMANDERS “Immortal, eternal, ineffable and uncreated Father of all things I who are borne upon the incessantly rolling chariot of Worlds which are always turning; Ruler of the ethereal immensity where the throne of thy power is elevated; from whose height thy dread-inspiring eyes discover all things, and thy exquisite and sacred ears hear all; Listen to thy children whom thou hast loved from the beginning of the ages; for thy golden, great, and eternal majesty is resplendent above the world and the starry heavens. Thou art raised above them O sparkling fire! There thou dost illumine and support thyself by thine own splendor; and there comes forth from thine essence overflowing streams of light which nourish thine infinite spirit. That infinite spirit nourishes all things, and renders this inexhaustible treasure of substance always ready for the generation which fashions it and which receives in itself the forms with which thou hast impregnated it from the beginning. From this spirit those most holy kings who surround thy throne, and who compose thy court, derive their origin. O Father Universal! Only One! O Father of blessed mortals and immortals! Thou hast specially created powers who are marvelously like thine eternal thought and adorable essence. Thou hast established them superior to the angels who announce to the world thy wishes. Finally thou hast created us in the third rank in our elementary empire. There our continual employment is to praise thee and adore thy wishes. There we incessantly burn with the desire of possessing thee, O Father! O Mother! the most tender of all mothers! O admirable archetype of maternity and pure love! O Son, the flower of sons! O Form of all forms; soul, spirit, harmony and number of all things. Amen.” The Conjuration of the Four Elements, by Eliphas Levi.

35

Now you may progress to the actual rituals themselves. Fire – Rituals: Ritual to help improve your Scrying Psychic Power We explored this ritual under the Element of Water; you may also use the Element of Fire, also as a means of developing your psychic power. Obtain a Red Candle and a Quartz Crystal, which has, by tradition, the reputation to assist the seeker the power to divine the future and commune with Spirits. Place the candle on your altar, and ensuring that you are facing West. Hold the quartz crystal in your right hand concentrate on the flame and repeat continually: “Element of Fire open my third-eye” When you feel that the mental petition has been registered, extinguish the candle using a candle snuffer do not blow out the candle, and repeat the next night, and keep repeating the ritual until the candle has burnt away.

Transforming a Negative Situation into a Positive One Take a large Bay leaf and write in black ink on the leaf the negative situation you wish to remove. You may write on both sides of the leaf. Hold the leaf in your right hand and repeat in your mind “transmute, transmute, transmute” see the negative turning to a positive one if you can then say “transmute, transmute, transmute” once again. Then throw the leaf into a fire. You may repeat this ritual anytime and repeat till you see an improvement in the situation.

Fire Incense Recipe Here is a general purpose incense receipt which is recommended that you compound and use in your Fire rituals.      

Myrrh 4 parts Frankincense 2 parts Benzoin Resin 4 parts Red Sandalwood ½ part Tonka Beans 1 part Dragon’s Blood 1 part

A part can be any measure, a teaspoon full, an ounce or even a pinch. The secret is that the “part” uses the same measure

Chapter 11 – MASTER RITUAL These previous Elemental Spells are only a few simple ones that you can now practice. Remember that they are simple, so don’t try and complicate them by reading into them any meanings that are NOT there, if you make a mistake, they will do you no harm. The Archangels realize that you are only learning and won’t call you to account for mistakes. Although the following will give you the knowledge to construct your own rituals, which in many ways is the best way forward, as they are from you and therefore have absorbed your creativity, knowledge and Will. But before any ritual it is always wise to attune yourself to that particular element that you wish to work with. For this please use the meditative exercise previously given, and the basic ritual. From thereon you may construct your ritual how you wish. Here are a few tips to ensuring your ritual is designed to achieve its objective.

1.

Make sure that you formulate the situation you wish to improve or eliminate very clearly in your mind. Write it on a piece of paper, does it make sense? Does is describe the situation as you see it? Can it be improved by you? If not is the situation solvable? If not forget the ritual.

2.

Ensure that the Elemental Spirit that you choose does have dominion over the situation. It is a waste of time petitioning the Undines for a situation ruled by the Salamanders.

3.

Always use the correct Elemental incense where possible, if you do not have the correct recipe, use an associated joss stick as indicated below. The use of incense clears the atmosphere and has a major psychological effect on the practitioner. Earth Frankincense.

4.

Air Myrrh, or Sandalwood.

Fire Frankincense.

Water Myrrh or Sandalwood.

Try, it is important, to also include on your altar a plant/herb or flower associated with the element. Ensure that they are live, or recently picked plants, as they will have the spark of life energy in them. Why not select a herb or flower which may be pot-grown and cultivate these for future ritual use. Also having their plants in your home will attract the related Elemental Spirits.

5.

Not to be forgotten, candles of the correct colour to be as Altar Candles so you will need two. If you cannot get the correct colour then select white. Altar candles may be re-used as Altar candles, do not re-cycle them into ritual candles.

6

Incorporate a symbol of the Element as an Altar piece in your Altar layout. This may be a simple glass of water, for the Element of Water, a dedicated candle for the Element of Fire, and a bowl of earth for the Element of Earth. 37

Air is a little trickier. By tradition Air is represented by the Wand, Beam Scales, and an Arrow. So if you do not have a wand, use the incense of Air. But consider making a talisman to the Element of Air. You have all the information in the appendix on Air to be able to do this. 7.

Finally, you may include the metal of the Element and a selection of appropriate stones and gems.

Note: It is not the quality of items presented at your ritual, but what the items mean to you. If you have personally fashioned a single mounted stone or gem on an ornate or pleasing stand, this is worth, in power terms, more than 100 collected stones on your altar. It is also worth dedicating or consecrating your collected items to the particular element. Simply in the case of mental/stones use the following simple consecration ritual: Charging and Cleansing Stones/Gems or Metal For metal or a stone to be magically of value, it must be “charged”, psychically cleansed, so it links its powers to yours. The easiest way to charge a stone is to hold it in your hand and meditate on it. Here is how to do this: During the appropriate Moons phase, you may charge each stone you have selected , as associated with the particular elementon his own particualr night following the New Moon. First wash the stone in a well or spring water in which a little salt has been added. Hold the stone(s) or metal in your right hand, go out into the garden to do this if your wish, and call out to the Elemental Spirit name whilst visualizing the Sprirt appearing in front of you, use your imagination here. Holding this image as long as you can. Whilst retaining the Spirits image in your mind, say:

“I dedicate this stone to you ….Name of Spirit….. may it act as a bridge for our conscious and unconscious communications. As I use this ritual object in the future may it call you to my presence in joy and love.”

Once charged wrap the stone in a white and store in a safe place until ritually required. Your preparations or pre-ritual requirements are now complete.

The Actual Ritual The initial steps are: A.

Set-up your Altar and arrange whatever items you have collected in a pleasing arrangement. 38

B.

Light your Altar Candles Remember to use a candle taper, DO NOT light them directly from a lighter or match.

C.

Light your incense charcoal, if using proper incense.

D.

Have your written petition in front of you, or repeat from memory. Refer to points 1 and 2 above.

E.

Put some incense on the glowing coals. Or joss-stick if using one

You are now ready to start your ritual. …………………. this is where you fill in the blanks. Remember with Elemental Spirits you have to show them symbolically what you want.

Closing the Ritual Once you have performed your petition F.

Close-down the ritual by thanking the Archangels and Elemental Spirits for their participation in your ritual and request that they depart.

G.

In order to dissipate the built-up energy around your Altar, stamp on the floor a number of times or clap your hands loudly.

H.

If you have been using any ritual candles, let then burn out (ensure that you take every possible fire precaution that is possible), or extinguish them for a repetition ritual. Remember the snuffer rule.

I.

Extinguish your Altar Candles and let the incense burn out (again taking any fire precautions).

The End of the Ritual

By following these simple steps you will be able to generate your own powerful rituals. Remember the actual performance of the petition must be unique to you, your words, your actions, and your emotion. If you refer to the Appendix Correspondences you will not have any trouble formulating your own petitions. Experiment, practice and you will achieve.

Appendix I – Hours of the Archangels

From The Magus – Francis Barrett

Depending upon the season the actual hours of daylight vary, therefore in order to calculate the correct hour you must take sunrise and sunset time to establish total minutes of daylight, and then divide by 12, this will give you how many minutes are in each hour of daylight. From that information you can calculate when each hour starts and how long it lasts for. You do exactly the same for the night hours, except you need to calculate the total time between sunset and sunrise, again dividing by 12 to calculate the minutes in the hour.

According to Peter de Abano, “…. that the first hour of the day, of every Country, and in every season whatsoever, is to be assigned to the Sun-rising, when he first appeareth arising in the horizon: and the first hour of the night is to be the thirteenth hour, from the first hour of the day”

50

Let’s complete an example calculation. Say you wanted to work within the angel’s hours, for a ritual dedicated to the Archangel Michael. From the Archangels correspondences you will see that Sunday is the day of the Sun, the planet of the Archangel Michael. You wish to perform the ritual the coming Saturday, during the Hours of the Day.

1. From an Almanac you see the sun rises at 7am on that day and sets alt 8.48pm. 2. Calculating the hours of daylight: 7.00am till 8.48pm is 13 hours, 48 minutes. 3. Next calculate: 13 x 60 + 48 = 828 minutes of daylight. 4. Next divide by 12 = 69. The number of minutes in a daylight hour is therefore 69 minutes long. 5. Consulting the above table you will see that the first and eighth hour of Sunday is ruled by the Archangel Michael. 6. For the first hour of the day the ritual should be performed between 7.00am and 8.09am, which is 69 minutes. 7. For the eighth hour further calculation is needed: - Add together the "hour" length for 7 "hours" (7 x 69 483 minutes, or 8 hours and 3 minutes). - Then add this to the sunrise time (7:00am) + 8 hours and 3 minutes = 3:03pm. - This means the eighth hour starts at 3:03pm and finishes at 4:12pm - 3:03 + 69 minutes.

If this is far too laborious be glad that we are in the computer age. Refer to Appendix J for software and those websites you will find will help with these calculations.
