Elemental SoulScapes

The basic concept of an Elemental refers to the ancient idea of the Elements as the fundamental building blocks of nature. In Alchemy an Elemental is a Creature (usually a Spirit) that is attuned with, or composed of one of the classical Elements. The following four concepts or Soul Scapes of Elemental origin represent the Alchemical nature of the four elements within the Personality of the practitioner of High Magick.

The art below reflects these different elements, and really captures the essence of the four spiritual entities that make up the world around us, from an Alchemical viewpoint. Even now, the artwork in many locations, from the blackpool hotel to modern art in galleries around the world, the colours are comprised of those that represent Fire, Earth, Air and Water, the foundation of all life and nature and the basis from which many representations of the world arise. Fire and Earth have become our industry, our passion for entertainment, for love, and Air and Water our serenity, our depth.

  • "Preternatural Air"

  • "Breath; the twin currents within each individual, once awakened is the source of spirituality for that person, the psycho-spiritual energy which facilitates evolution of human consciousness through enlightenment."
  • In traditional cultures, air is often seen as a universal power or pure substance. Its fundamental importance to life represented in words such as spirit, inspire, expire, and aspire, all derived from the Latin spirare ("to breathe")"

 

  • "Preternatural Fire"

  • "The omnidirectional force of the Spiritual Fire that burns within the soul of each individual practitioner, associated with the qualities of energy, assertiveness, passion, and the season of summer, (as it increases the qualities of heat and aridity)"

 

  • "Preternatural Water"

  • "The ceaseless flow of emotion and intuition and its connection with the Element of Water; the fluctuation of the currents in relation to the Moon and its subsequent reaction with the personality of the Initiate.The tenuous flow of energy governed by the Sun and the Moon tides"

     

  • "Preternatural Earth"

  • "The crystalization of the preceeding elements into the personality, and the perfect balance of the Elements with that of the Element of Spirit, or the Divine, as represented by the upright Pentegram. The Earth as home and origin of humanity, being worshipped in its own right with its own unique spiritual tradition"
