The Four Elements of the Wise
The four elements are the pillars that uphold the manifest world and anchor spirit to matter. They are associated with diverse spiritual entities, ranging from small elemental to divine beings. The four elements also comprise a system of understanding that supports most of the magic of the West and Paganism. Longtime practitioner and respected teacher Ivo Dominguez Jr. discusses the use of the elements in a wide range of systems and presents the information in a way that is accessible and significant to newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. In this definitive work, Dominguez provides an in-depth exploration of the elements and their lore, history, correspondences, and use in spellwork and ritual. Each of the four elements is covered in detail, including the fifth element-quintessence. Practical applications for working with the elements are woven throughout the book. Book jacket.
Four Elements
From the beloved author of the bestselling To Bless the Space Between Us and Anam Cara comes a new work that shares his insights on nature and the ancient wisdom of this earth. John O'Donohue won hundreds of thousands of admirers with his now classic work on Celtic spirituality Anam Cara. Unfortunately he died suddenly at age fifty-two just as his book of blessings, To Bless the Space Between Us, was being published. The loss of his powerfully wise and lyrical voice has been profoundly missed, but his many readers are given a special opportunity to revisit John in a new book based on a series of papers he wrote on the elements of water, stone, air, and fire, now published here for the first time. O'Donohue's readers know him as both a spiritual guide and a poet, and in this work he exhibits both qualities, sharing his Celtic heritage and his love for his native landscape in the west of Ireland. As O'Donohue explores a range of themes relating to the way we live our lives today, he reveals how the energy and rhythm of the natural world—its innocence and creativity, its power and splendor—hold profound lessons for us all. With a foreword written by his beloved brother, Pat, this illuminating book is an inspired reflection on the ancient wisdom of the earth.
Earth, Water, Air, Fire
Forced to interact with the natural elements that invigorate a built structure and co-determine a building's experiential reality during construction, one ought to keep in mind their brute powers - earth's crushing heaviness, the erratic character of water, air's thermo-dynamic cataclysms, or the dangerous benignity of fire. Affective in a direct way, they act as guiding principles in the process of realization: While the earth targets the foundations, the roof shields from water, the openings control the flow of air, and the walls protect from the gleaming sun.
