Elementals Nature Spirits
Let us now consider the many levels of existence. From the oneness, divine consciousness divides into 50 archetypal energies, which are at first pre-conceptual, but are then conceptualized into the archetypes of the Tarot and the basic energies of the 50 Sanskrit letters. As these differentiate further, they give rise to the gods and goddesses of all the different traditions. These then create a plane of infinite potential, out of which all possibilities are created. This field of infinite potential consists of the void at its highest level, and then the other four elements. Out of this realm of potential is created function, then form, and then physical matter. Our reality is not the only manifestation of the ethers. A different function and form creates the faerie realm, which shares the Earth with us, but in a parallel dimension. There may be many parallel Worlds co-existing with the human World, each having its own upper and lower Worlds.
Divine consciousness descends into the various realms of the created
Universe. The same consciousness that becomes a human being when it settles
in our World may become a faerie if it settled in the faerie realm, with
a different set of boundaries, or it would become an elemental if it settled
in the ethers. It would become a different kind of elemental according to
the element it forms in: In earth it becomes a gnome; in water it becomes
an undine, in fire it becomes a salamander; in air it becomes a sylph. In
the void or akasha, there are lesser known spirits with a deeply mystical
nature; the imps that exist in pure chaos, the dark elves that guard the
deeper mysteries and can destroy any impurities, and others not even named.
Each of these elementals has an important roll to play in the creation and
maintenance of life.
The earth spirits or gnomes absorb from the ethers and release the energy
into matter to give it life. They are formless, but take the form of whatever
they interact with. Thus, when they meet a human, they take a human form,
though short, stocky and thick-set, due to their earthy nature. They give
us the basic energy of life in its rawest form. They can help us attract
money and fulfill our material needs.
The water spirits or undines govern magnetism and chemistry. They stimulate
and feed our various emotions and spiritual impulses, create attraction
between people, and nourish our psychic faculties. They appear as a blur
of colour, but as we get closer they take form from our imaginations, and
often take mermaid-like forms, or sometimes animal forms. They can help
us heal, develop psychically or attract love.
The fire spirits or salamanders provide passion, motivation, will and are
the cause of most impulses. They enter adolescents at puberty to develop
the will and sex drive, and cause them to rebel against authority so that
they can discover their individuality. They appear as sudden bursts of heat,
but as we encounter them they take form from our own minds and most often
take the form of the lizard of the same name. They can help us develop will,
courage, authoritative bearing, passion, sexual prowess, and provide us
with raw power. The same will more highly developed gives us our magickal power.
The air spirits or sylphs are sources of light that produce inspiration
and feed the mind. They appear as very ethereal light beings, very much
like the traditional children's book faeries, although real faeries are
something quite different. They can help us with our spiritual and mystical
development.
Spirits of akasha do not normally take a form, but those that live in a
mustika pearl may take the form
of the animal they lived in. Imps can free us of any limitations in our
consciousness; dark elves are powerful protectors and can destroy any invading
energies or entities. There are other akasha spirits that are sources of
pure magickal energy. Akasha spirits are the hardest to find in nature,
and the only way we have them as allies is when they form a mustika in an
animal or plant.
Elementals are present whenever magick is worked.
They can be invoked and encouraged to temporarily inhabit some object prepared
by the magician, so that they stay and help the magician in some specific
way. The most permanent house for an elemental will be a Mustika.
These form in the body of an animal when the elemental spirit has been living
in that animal for some years, forming a symbiotic relationship, in which
the animal is strengthened, and the elemental also learns some unique powers
from the animal. These elementals that choose to work outside there own
world to form such relationships are most useful to us. When the animal
dies, the spirit wishes to continue to work and learn and so becomes a willing
partner to its human keeper. Possessing a Mustika
Pearl opens a person to all kinds of spiritual help. The elementals
may or may not have names in their own language, but once they chose to
work with a human, they take on a name, often of a well known saint or master.
Working with elementals
Once you have the help of an elemental, it is easy to work with. You
only have to hold it and request its help. During rituals you may hold the
elemental and talk to it about what you are doing, and then let it work
with you in the ritual. When carrying it, you can tell it what you need
and it will work with you quietly. For example, if you are about to enter
a meeting and need your authority activated, you can just tell the elemental,
and it will blend with you and give you more authority at that time. Or
you may be meeting someone you have a romantic interest in, and you tell
the elemental to increase your magnetism and attract that person. It will
then do so while you are talking to the person.
For mystical development, you should hold the elemental while meditating.
Ask it for help, and allow it to blend with you while meditating. It can
be used alongside mantras, or any other method of development.
Sometimes you might want to develop a clearer communication with the elemental
spirit. This can be done while meditating with it. Just focus on the spirit
and allow your mind to be drawn into it. Be patient. As you relax and empty
your mind, the spirit will begin to give you impressions. With a little
practice, it will be talking to you and showing you images.
You can speed up this process by creating a place between the worlds to
meet the elemental in. All you have to do is imagine a place in nature where
you are sitting, and invite the spirit to come and talk with you here. This
can be done with the elemental in a Mustika
pearl or bezoar stone, or out
in nature, where you just sit where you feel the presence of an elemental
spirit and open up communication with it.
Another method that often works with Mustika Pearl is to sleep with it and
ask it to communicate with you in dream. Of course this depends on you learning
to remember your dreams.
