Invoking the Elements


Invoking the elements is very advanced and can be very dangerous. I am speaking from experience here. There are many authors who write from a theoretical and scholastic prospective and have not had the direct experience with certain meditations and psychic practices. I am going to give you *my* personal experiences with the meditations that follow. Remember- THESE ARE MY OWN DIRECT EXPERIENCES AND SOME OF WHAT I EXPERIENCED, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT AS WE ARE INDIVIDUALS, BUT THESE MEDITATIONS *ARE* HIGHLY EFFECTIVE, POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS.
If you:
Are not physically and/or mentally healthy
If you take *any* psychiatric medications or medications that affect your brain/nervous system
If you suffer from High Blood Pressure
If you have heat flashes from menopause
If you suffer bouts of depression
If you do not know yourself 100%
If you are pregnant
I strongly encourage you to turn back and work other meditations that are safer. Once you have overcome any problems mentioned above using safer meditations, you can proceed at a very slow pace if you think you are ready. Let me explain:

With invoking the elements, here are some examples of what can happen:

Invoking fire will make you hot. Depending on how many breaths you do (only seven and under are recommended for those who have not had experience with this element). Even with adepts, 20 breaths can be extreme. While you are doing the fire meditation for the first time, more than likely while you are doing it, you will feel little or nothing. DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF DOING ANY MORE BREATHS BECAUSE YOU MIGHT FEEL NOTHING! You will feel the effects hours later. The effects of invoking fire include a fever, feeling BURNING HOT after a warm glow/aura manifests, insomnia and since water is the opposite of fire, you can get a backlash of water and this can manifest in depression. These effects can last several hours to several days. Each one of us has imbalances of certain elements and invoking the elements can cause even more imbalance so it is also important to know your strengths and weaknesses in certain elements.

Invoking air can overstimulate the nervous system. Air can make you very irritable and oversensitive for a few hours to several days, depending on how much you take in.

I have always been a person of extremes and I am daring, so I have never put any limitations on myself with meditations, though I have always used common sense. Now, with invoking these elements over a period of time, we become resistant to extremes of temperature, we can warm or cool our bodies at will and we can be adept at pyrokinesis, cryokinesis and other astral disciplines.

If you are planning to do the elemental meditations, I strongly encourage you to keep written entries in a black book or journal regarding how these exercises affect you. Mastering the elements is one of the highest forms of magick, while others play around with props. The elements are based upon the four corners and directions. They are the foundation of the universe when working magick. Invoking and directing the elements is used to empower sigils and talismans. Each ritual or working normally has an elemental theme. By making use of the elements the power of any working is drastically amplified. Elemental magick is extremely advanced and powerful magick.

There are two ways of invoking the elements. One way is total invocation as I have done (no breathing them back out and the most dangerous) and the other way is easier is to breathe the element back out into the ether. You can work up from this.

Each one of us has strengths and weaknesses with certain elements. Nearly all of us have imbalances of the elements in our souls. The following meditations will correct these.

Several hours or a day after invoking an element, sit quietly and meditate on how you feel. How did you feel during the past 24 hours? It is important to be able to *feel* the elements in order to direct and control them.

To properly invoke, direct, and control the elements, you must be balanced in all of the elements. Most of us have imbalances. These can usually be seen in our astrology charts. Those of us who progress and continue on will be working

You must be honest with yourself and know yourself. The articles below in the advanced section reveal the elements in their pure form. Very few of us are imbalanced with just one element; usually there are two that are dominant. Look to the elements where most of the characteristics describe you. By balancing your elements, you will find healing physically, psychologically, at the soul level and mentally.

Fire is opposite Water and Air is opposite Earth. The opposite element is what is needed to fix the imbalance. It is important to be aware that invoking the lacking element can create a temporary backlash in the over-dominant element.



Preliminary Meditations for Invoking the Elements

In order to really become adept, one must master the elements. This is also the message of the Mage card of the Tarot. You must be healthy to invoke the elements. For those of you who wish to go slowly, these preliminary meditations can help:

For Fire:
1. Sit quietly and relax.
2. Visualize a large bonfire. *Hear* the crackling and *feel* the heat, then *smell* the heat.
Do this for five minutes.

For Water:
1. Sit quietly and relax.
2. Visualize yourself wading in water. This can be a lake, the river or the ocean. *Feel* the water, *hear* the water and *smell* the water, like you are actually there.
Do this for five minutes.

For Earth:
1. Sit quietly and relax.
2. Visualize yourself walking barefoot on the earth. This is best if you can visulize yourself walking on soil in a farm field as this is very close to the element of earth. *Feel* the soil under your bare feet and *hear* and *feel* the light breeze through the air and *smell* the earth.
Do this for five minutes.

For Air:
1. Sit quietly and relax.
2. Visualize yourself walking against the wind. *Feel* the wind blow against your skin and the roar of the wind in your ears. *Smell* the fresh air as it blows against you. Feel each step walking into the wind.
Do this for five minutes.

Next Step for Fire:
1. Sit quietly and relax.
Visualize yourself walking throuigh the desert. *Feel* the searing heat and the dry hot wind in the scorching environment. Feel the sand beneath your feet and your body growing hotter.
Do this exercise for three to four minutes and no longer.

Next Step for Water:
1. Sit quietly and relax.
Visualize yourself in a cold environment. Feel yourself getting cold. Feel the cold wind blow on your skin. For those of you who know snow (some brothers and sisters live in tropical environments, so not everyone has experienced snow), visualize yourself in snow and ice. Hear the crunching of the snow beneath your feet. For those of you who have never experienced snow- just visualize yourself in a cold environment and use all of your astral senses.
Do this exercise for three to four minutes and no longer.
What the above exercises do:
In addition to strengthening your astral senses, these exercises will introduce you to working with the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. By invoking these elements, we can strengthen ourselves to where we will be able to withstand incredible amounts of heat, cold and other extremes. Invoking and directing fire is a very important aspect of pyrokinesis. With invoking the fire element, we can keep warm or with the water element, cool if circumstances call for this. Invocation of fire is how the Tibetan monks spent the nights of their initiation in the ice cold mountains, naked under in a wet sheet in a snow storm. In the morning, if the initiate passed, the sheet was warm and dry and the snow and ice were melted in the surrounding area.
Some 1920's-30's Satanic Lodges in Germany used the element of fire for assassination. The element when invoked and directed to the victim would make the victim's blood literally boil.
The air element, when invoked properly, produces levitation. Through invocation and proper direction of the elements, we can also influence the weather.
The foundation of advanced magick is through the control of the elements, this includes healing and all aspects of magick, white, black and grey.


Air


The Characteristics of Air:
People with the element of air prominent have the ability to be objective and detached, and unemotional. They are intellectual, enjoy spontaneity, easily bored, very talkative and communicative. Air is the most social of the elements. Air people are usually quick in their movements and speedy. They can be very impractical. Air lacks feeling and emotion. Air is pure intellect. Air people can adapt and adjust to situations easily. They can have an over-active mind, live in their head, and be Jack-Of-All-Trades, and master of none. Air lacks depth. The sayings "up in the air" "air headed", "cool headed" are relevant to air. An imbalance of too much air creates a lack of planning, makes one scatterbrained, nervousness, high-strung, and causes nervous exhaustion.

A LACK of air makes one have a hard time detaching as the tendency is to become too emotionally involved. People who lack air find themselves too involved with others. They can be overly emotional, have violent reactions, lash out, and have a very difficult time with being objective. They can have a hard time adjusting to new situations. The emotions often dominate in one who is lacking the air element. They can become obsessed. Air is the communicative, intellectual principle.
INVOKING AIR:
Sit quietly and go into a light to medium trance. Now, imagine yourself in the air. Feel the lightness and breathe in the air element. It is important to imagine yourself feeling lighter and lighter and airy. Imagine that your body is becoming lighter, as light as air itself to where you can no longer feel your body. Feel as if you are floating.
Do this for seven breaths AND ONLY SEVEN BREATHS! DO NOT DO ANY MORE! YOU CAN EVEN DO AS LITTLE AS 2-3 BREATHS, BUT NO MORE THAN SEVEN!

You have two options for this exercise:

1. You can breathe the air back out into the ether after each inhaliation and even breath it out some more when you are finished with the seven breaths (This is the safest way) OR

2. You can retain the air. With retention of the elements, you will progress faster, understand how each element feels and affects you and increase your ability to handle each element, but remember- this is not for everyone. It is better to take things slower and use caution. Remember to always use common sense.

After some 12-24 hours, sit quietly and meditate a few minutes on how you feel after invoking air.

The air element is used in rituals to incite chaos. Air can over-stimulate the nervous system until you get used to it so it is important to go slowly. Invoking air is used for levitation.


Earth


Characteristics of Earth:
People who are dominant in earth are sensual, materialistic, practical, and they hate anything that is unplanned. Earth gives patience, self-discipline, makes one dependable, reliable, and conventional. Earth people like tradition, and security is extremely important to them, they are cautious, deliberate, slow in forming opinions, and slow in everything they do. They are reserved, have limited imaginations, but they have exceptional endurance. They are practical, grounded, and level-headed. They are hard working, they dislike change and can be stuck in a routine for years without ever getting bored. They have a hard time adjusting to new situations and changes.

A LACK OF EARTH:
People who are lacking in earth are not attuned to the material/physical world, they are spaced-out, impractical, they can neglect their bodies, they are flighty, lack self-discipline, are ungrounded, often feel out of place, and have over-active imaginations. These people can forget to eat, rest, exercise and so forth. They have trouble with routine, endurance, scheduling and organizing their lives. A lack of earth brings a lack of stability along with an inability to finish things. Here today and gone tomorrow. These people can overspend their money foolishly or gamble it away. They are irresponsible and live only for today.

Earth is the material principle.

INVOKING EARTH:
To invoke the earth element, go into a light to medium trance and visualize yourself in the middle of a large sphere of heavy dense gravity. Now, do the energy breathing. Breath in the earth from all sides of your body, front, back, top of your head and bottom of your feet. Imagine yourself getting heavier to where you are like lead and can no longer move- like you are buried under several feet of dirt. Feel the gravity of the earth pulling you. Do this for seven breaths AND ONLY SEVEN BREATHS! DO NOT DO ANY MORE! YOU CAN EVEN DO AS LITTLE AS 2-3 BREATHS, BUT NO MORE THAN SEVEN!

You have two options for this exercise:

1. You can breathe the earth element back out into the ether after each inhaliation and even breath it out some more when you are finished with the seven breaths (This is the safest way)

OR

2. You can retain the earth. With retention of the elements, you will progress faster, understand how each element feels and affects you and increase your ability to handle each element, but remember- this is not for everyone. It is better to take things slower and use caution. Remember to always use common sense.

After some 12-24 hours, sit quietly and meditate a few minutes on how you feel after invoking earth.


Fire


The Characteristics of Fire:
Self-centered, confident, enthusiastic, expressive, bold, subjective, expansive, out-going, extroverted, insensitivity to others, impulsive, impatient, creative, vain, extravagant, reckless, passionate, self-important, exhibitionist, courageous, adventuresome.

People who have pronounced fire often burn themselves out. They are often over-active, restless, and over concerned with making something happen in the world. There are often problems in dealing with others; they can be very insensitive and crude in their approach. Fire people are prone to inflammation, high blood pressure and can be labeled as "hot headed" as they normally have short tempers. Without the element of earth, people who are dominant in fire lack staying power.

People who are lacking in fire are usually low in energy, lack self-esteem, and self-confidence. There is a lack of spiritedness, lack of enthusiasm, aversion to challenges; there is apathy toward living, major problems take a long time to overcome with lingering psychological scars.

Fire alleviates mental depression and brings a love of life. Fire is the creative principle, the spark of life. Fire rules competition, athletics, action, courage, self-confidence, charisma, and pyrokinesis. Invoking and directing fire is the advanced aspect of pyrokinesis.


TO INVOKE FIRE, go into a light to medium trance and visualize yourself in the middle of a large sphere of fire. Now, do the energy breathing. Breath in the fire from all sides of your body, front, back, top of your head and bottom of your feet. Imagine and feel yourself getting burning hot. Do this for seven breaths AND ONLY SEVEN BREATHS! DO NOT DO ANY MORE! YOU CAN EVEN DO AS LITTLE AS 2-3 BREATHS, BUT NO MORE THAN SEVEN!

You have two options for this exercise:

1. You can breathe the fire back out into the ether after each inhaliation and even breath it out some more when you are finished with the seven breaths (This is the safest way) OR

2. You can retain the fire. With retention of the elements, you will progress faster, understand how each element feels and affects you and increase your ability to handle each element, but remember- this is not for everyone. It is better to take things slower and use caution. Remember to always use common sense.

To be adept, one must master blowing (directing the exhale) the element out as we will in following meditations. For example, blowing out the element of fire after you have invoked enough of it and your body can withstand high amounts of this element, you can raise the temperature of objects and even set them on fire, using only your mind. Unlike the other method of pyrokinesis on this website, with the above, you can even be miles from your object.

Invoking fire will make you hot. Depending on how many breaths you do (only seven and under are recommended for those who have not had experience with this element). Even with adepts, 20 breaths can be extreme. While you are doing the fire meditation for the first time, more than likely while you are doing it, you will feel little or nothing. DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF DOING ANY MORE BREATHS BECAUSE YOU MIGHT FEEL NOTHING! More than likely, you will feel the effects hours later. The effects of invoking fire include a fever, feeling BURNING HOT after a warm glow/aura manifests, insomnia and since water is the opposite of fire, you can get a backlash of water and this can manifest in depression. These effects can last several hours to several days.

Water

Characteristics:
People who have dominant water are too in touch with feelings and emotions. They are psychic, and notice things others don’t see, such as subtle nuances. Too much water creates irrational fears, compulsive desires, oversensitivity, feelings of being threatened. These people are very easily hurt and offended, they are impressionable and their emotions can dominate them. Water is intuitive, over-reactive, fearful, timid, gives feelings of inner emptiness. and incites extremes of behavior. Water is compassionate, loyal, devoted, and sympathetic. Water is the emotional principle.

A LACK OF WATER:
People who are lacking in water are not in touch with their feelings. They have trouble in dealing with their own feelings as well as those of others. Cold, aloof, unfeeling, callous, they have little if any compassion towards others and have trouble in relationships due to a lack of an emotional rapport. These people are often total materialists who disregard the spiritual.

To invoke water, go into a light to medium trance and imagine that you are completely under water in a large pool or lake. The water should be still. Just relax. Breath in the water from all sides of your body, front, back, top of your head and bottom of your feet. Imagine yourself getting ice cold. Do this for seven breaths AND ONLY SEVEN BREATHS! DO NOT DO ANY MORE! YOU CAN EVEN DO AS LITTLE AS 2-3 BREATHS, BUT NO MORE THAN SEVEN!

You have two options for this exercise:

1. You can breathe the water back out into the ether after each inhalation and even breath it out some more when you are finished with the seven breaths (This is the safest way) OR

2. You can retain the water. With retention of the elements, you will progress faster, understand how each element feels and affects you and increase your ability to handle each element, but remember- this is not for everyone. It is better to take things slower and use caution. Remember to always use common sense.

After some 12-24 hours, sit quietly and meditate a few minutes on how you feel after invoking water.

The more advanced you become, the more you will feel the coldness of the water element. You should feel like a block of ice. Adepts are able to keep the body cold as ice even in the hottest of summer weather. The water element can incite depression, so it is important to go slowly. Water is used in rituals involving attraction.

Invoking the Akasha/Quintessence/ Ether

1. Visualize and feel yourself in the center of an unlimited space. This will feel like floating. There is no above or below or sideways. The quintessence is ultra-violet, very similar to what is known as a black light. For those of you who are familiar with the black lights of the 1970's and how they illuminated florescent colors on posters, this is the color you should be visualizing as it is very powerful. Black lights are ultra-violet. If you are not familiar just type 'black light' into a search engine; also see 'images' of black lights; and black lightbulbs. This energy is the first step in the non-visible spectrum of light. The soul is composed of both the visible and non-visible spectrums of light.

2. Breathe in the akasha/ether, visualizing yourself completely surrounded by the ultra-violet energy as you would with energy breathing and fill your entire being with it for eleven breaths.
FEEL this energy and focus your mind and astral senses upon it.

3. Meditate on the feeling you get from invoking this energy for 10-15 minutes.


"It has been mentioned in the theoretical part that the elements originate in the akasha principle, by which they are dominated and kept in the correct balance.
After a long time of exercising, a magician who has achieved good results with the elements will also be able to control the finest principle that is the astral ether."

"We have heard that akasha is the primary source, the sphere of all causes. Any deliberate cause, such as a wish, a thought, any imagination created in this sphere together with the dynamic conviction is bound to be realized with the help of the elements, regardless of the level or sphere on which the realization necessarily has to be performed. This is one of the greatest magic mysteries and a universal key for the magician, who will understand its range only later on in the course of his development."
-Franz Bardon "Initiation into Hermetics" © 1956

Aether (classical element)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Quintessence (alchemy))

"The aether is the fifth classical element in ancient Greek philosophy and science. This Greek concept seems to derive directly from the akasha, its Hindu counterpart. In Greek doctrines it seems that the aether was the celestial fire, the pure essence where the gods lived and which they breathed. In this connection, it seems that aether is radiative heat like that of the sun, which is able to propagate in empty space. The Greek word "aither" derives from an Indo- European root aith- ("burn, shine"). This root figures in the name of Aithiopia (Ethiopia), which means something like "burnt land."

"Aether was once believed to be a substance, which filled all of space. Aristotle included it as a fifth element (the quintessence) on the principle that nature abhorred a vacuum."

Oliver Nicholson points out that, in contrast to the better known luminiferous aether of the 19th century, the older concept of the classical aether had three properties. Among these characteristics, the classical aether had a non-material property, was "less than the vehicle of visible light", and was responsible for "generating metals" along with fostering the development of all bodies."

[1]"Robert Fludd stated that the aether was of the character that it was "subtler than light". Fludd cites the 3rd century view of Plotinus, concerning the aether as penetrative and non-material."

"[2]"Other 1800s views, such as James Clerk Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, and Nikola Tesla, was of the disposition that the aether was more akin to it actually being the electromagnetic field."

"In modern physics, dark energy is sometimes called quintessence due to its similarity to the classical ether."

You are the elements which you feel most accurately describe you, in their properties. For example, like how it says water people are often emotional and those of the fire element somewhat frank, etc.
The links to the elements are down, but they're included in the downloadable Power Meditation volumes (the third one), but I can't seem to find them in the Satan's Library section(?).
