The Four Elements are the pillars that uphold the manifest world and anchor spirit to matter. They are associated with a wide range of spiritual entities from small elementals to divine beings. While a great deal has been written about the Four Elements, much of it is a rehash of the same concepts. Most of the available material on the Elements is aimed at beginners in occult practices, with very little at the intermediate level.
This weekend workshop explores the nature of the consciousness of the Elements. The Elements provide a system of understanding that undergirds most of the magick of the West and Paganism. The use of the Elements in a wide range of systems and practices will be examined. This workshop explores each of the Elements in depth, and then shows how they interact and change as they rise on the planes. The workshop concludes with the union of the Elements that is more than just becoming Spirit, but the completion of their Great Work.
