The Alchemy Within

Throughout my life, I have worked directly with the five elements, which are the basis for any Magick or AlchemyI am often asked how I am able to make such amazing products, how do I weave and create manifestation and abundance so effortlessly.

The Answer is simple: it’s within you.

This is why my next workshop will focus on working with the Elements and Elementals. It will help you develop the mastery, knowledge and understanding of the foundations of magic and your own energy field that are necessary to work with them.

The Elements are powerful Allies, part of the Living magic that is Earth, the Living embodiment of the Feminine with which we reside in creation.
Adjusting the balance of or working with a particular element is a powerful tool to change your own energy for the better.

Working with the Elements

Most people aren’t aware of their Elemental balance or their Elemental body and don’t know how to activate change and achieve Elemental balance. Howver, we can weave and create with the Elements in accordance with Earth Harmony.

And so I have created a powerful Element Alchemy range of products to help people remember their connection with Earth and acheive harmony once more.

What I share and teach in my Element circles is passed on by spoken word only; you won’t find them on a podcast or in a book.

By working with the Elementals, we can heal. For example, help reduce a temperature in an instant, treat a common cold, help stop bleeding or help broken bones heal. We can also protect our homes and, in the case of natural disasters, work with the Elements instead of against them.

Over my 25 years of experience with house clearings, I have found my ability to work with the Elements - speaking to either the water, or the earth below the house - has been the key to success in some of the biggest clearings. Elements are our co-creators and it’s time to return to working with them in harmony.

Air

The Air Element corresponds to the Eastern part of creation. It symbolises a vast network of vital breath, from the winds that brought the Universe into being to the first cry of a newborn baby or or the first breath of life itself (Om).

Whereas Earth is “fixed”, Air is most definitely a mover. It’s also connected to the mind, wisdom, spirits and the soul. Air is considered masculine in contrast to Earth which is very feminine and, In Wicca, practitoners often use a wand to represent the Element of Air., thinking of as the moving branch from which it came, ever touched by the winds. Other traditions correlate Air with the sword because the movement of a sword allows us to hear what we cannot see.

Crystals & Stones
For those born into the Air element it can be really helpful to surround yourself with crystals & stones that support clarity and lucidity, including spiritual visions. Stones such as Blue Aventurine, Citrine, Diamond, Labradorite, Moonstone, Topaz and Zircon also excellent choices, and can help improve your intuition, safety in travel, and boost your communication skills.

Animals
As you might expect, most winged or flying creatures come under the Air Element’s dominion. Some specific creatures that have strong Air associations are Bats, Butterflys, Bees, Eagles, Hawks, Humming Birds, and Owls.

Plants
Many plants of the Air Element move gently on the breeze. Some plants traditionally associated with the Air include Anise, Birch, Cedar (due to the aroma), Lemongrass, Pansy, Primrose and Violet.

Elementals:
Sylphs and in some cultures, Fae, are the elementals of the Air.
Carried and existing in Air and as a lower vibration of Ether, these elementals represent the magic that pertains to air, wind, breath, the mind, thought and the mental realms.<

Earth

The Earth Element represents the ultimate feminine principle of the Universe , the Mother Goddess from whom all life springs and returns. Earth is fertile, nurturing, grounding, strong and transformational, honoring Nature’s cycles and changes. Earth provides the stable environment from which all life (as we know it) springs, lives and thrives.

It is the foundation of all things. Earth (aka Gaia or Mother Earth) receives the “seeds” of all other Elements and, in turn, gifts us with abundance. For any form of divination or magic, the Earth Element provides grounding, Abundance, foundations, security, stability, vitality and repesents physical realm of all solid mass including our bodies.

Water

Water is associated with the cardinal direction of the West and the colour blue, In alchemy, Water is represented by a downward-facing triangle. It is often associated with emotion, intuition, and uniqueness. It is wonderful to use if you wish to delve deeper into your psyche and self to discover the ups and downs of your mind. The Water Element embodies the liquid state of flexibility, receptivity, and inertia.

It assimilates, internalizes, softens, mixes, inhibits, homogenizes, fills, and dissolves. It wins by yielding, changing shape, adapting to circumstances, and bypassing the obstacles it encounters. Inexorably from the source where it is born it slowly reaches the sea, becoming first a stream and then a river in a continuous process of transformation which is its true strength.

Fire

The fire element symbolises the power of passion, creativity, and inspiration. This element represents the ability to create something out of nothing. It represents energy, the drive for action and the ability to move forward in spite of obstacles. When this element is balanced, there is no fear of failure and you can achieve your goals.
