While much has been written about mysticism and magic, and some books are of much greater value than others, it has been my task to try various methods of meditation and practice experientially so that I could discern the helpful from the unhelpful. These systems, and much of what I describe, of course, has only been learned from those that come before me.

Working with the elements in one’s own microcosm invariably leads to increased magical power and the acquisition of paranormal abilities. The physical body remains a microcosm of the planet and all creation. The Wizards knows that he, too, is a composition of these things, and that he, too, has been born in exactly as the same manner as the world was born. The use of the elements –and remember, these are analogies to but more than what we know of as physical fire, water, air, and earth - is central to the work of the Wizard. Thus, fire and water are primary, coming down (or out) from the Divine and governing all that is. And the element of earth comes into being by the sum total of fire, water, and air. The element of air servers as the mediating principle between fire and water. Its properties involve coldness and contraction. The other element extending from the Divine is water, which is negative. It is the analogous version of fire in the astral plane: it may help to think of it was psychic fire. The fire I am talking about is not necessarily physical fire. The fire is positive it governs the motions of heat and expansion. It is this element from which the other four elements are manifested, and the supreme element is most tangibly concentrated in the human body in the form of blood and semen.įrom the Divine emanate both fire and water. Use the name that feels most comfortable and personally connected to yourself. Whether you call it ether, God, or divine light, is not ultimately important. This is what is most often called God by the various world religions. Creation began with the supreme element, ether. The five elements, as understood in Hermetics and the western esoteric systems that date back to the Greeks and even Egyptians, comprise everything in the universe.
