What sign are you, might I ask, Lord of Salem?


I am a Taurus, but I act nothing like it.

I loved the exercises. I liked most the first one. It was very interesting to feel the air energy in this way. I went to a desert beach (I live in an island) and felt it right on my face, and it was very special. I don't know, the air ressembles me like something which carries messagens, memories from so far far away. I felt like I was receiving something someone somewhere sent me... don't know how to explain this.

What a great experience. Sometimes, you swear you can hear faint whispers in the wind.

Skadi, I loved your new avatar. I couldn't make the 1st exercize. It's autum here in Brazil and I live in the South, so it's very cold. We had a tropical typhoon last week, I think it will be difficult to find a warm day =/

About the second exercise, I think fire energy is one of the easiest to feel. I don't know if it's because fire is the most "energetic" element of all, but it's almost imediate when you invoque them.

Brazil? So you are southern hemisphere! Opposite seasons! Its ok if you can't do it outside. A typhoon? Seems the elements of water and air have made their less agreeable presence known!

And you are absolutely right about fire. Its the most forceful element, and is unmistakable with its presence!

By the way, i will do the lesson for water tommorow. I am going to be gone for 2 weeks in England, so after the lesson on water, there will be a break, unless I can get computer access in England.

Water lesson finished.

Siren, by the way, for the first fire exercise, remember, if you cannot be outside, then inside in a nice hot room with a candle or hearth fire is just as good. magick should be practical, and you can adapt exercises to what is practical and available at the time!

Also, a general note: the recipes given are my own. However, some of the ingredients might not be easy to find, or, in the case of the oils, expensive. These recipes are not straight jackets. Use whatever materials you can find or afford. That is what our ancestors did. The witches of old either could not afford frankincense and myrrh, or simply did not use it, and just used whatever was available locally. When i first started out, i used incense sticks i bought at the local head shop and home fragrance oils. Until i found an athame, which was about 6 years after i first became Wiccan, I used my hand to direct energy and cast circles. So whatever you have available, use it! if you need any suggestions or substitutions, feel free to ask me. After all, when i first started out, I was on a paupers pay living off ramen noodles and generic Wal-mart soda pop doing my rituals on a small old rickety table i dug out of a dumpster, so i know how to wing it a bit.

Hello Skadi, thank you a lot about the Fire information. I did the excercise those days, as in spite of the Fall, we had sunny days. I also did the water exercise, and I must say I find myself crying out loud. I know, by the theory you passed to us, it should be expected, as if works with deep feelings, but it was an interesting reaction. I'll reconnect with water those days until Sunday, so I can see if I get the same result as well.

Water can sometimes be the most difficult element to deal with because of its emotional power can create unwanted but greatly needed emotional releases.

Hello Skadi. I'm sorry for the delay. I must say it was very interesting the energy of Earth. As I repeated the Water connections, when I did Earth meditation it seems like all the feelings that Water overflows get condensed again in Earth. I felt a great stability, like I got centered again. In fact, I noticed like every element link to the other. The Air connection made me feel so mindly, so when I connected to Fire the passion, desire made me get noticed of my body again, but these things aren't anything if I don't face my fears and deep feelings that water shows, but I also need to understand, respect them and make my way in a wise path, like Earth permitted to me.

I didn't made the 5th Element connections yet, but I'll do as soon as I can.
