Video Description

#occult #esoteric #witchcraft Main Source Material: (You will find that some of these texts contradict each other. I am not necessarily recommending you read all of these; there are some I like more than others. Just citing my sources, even if I disagree with some points.) - Paracelsus' "A Book on Nymphs, Sylphs, Pygmies, and Salamanders, and on the Other Spirits" (Can be found for free online) - "The Golden Dawn" by Israel Regardie - "Self Initiation Into the Golden Dawn Tradition" by the Cicero's - 777 And Other Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley - "The Four Elements of the Wise" by Ivo Dominguez - "Elemental Spirits" by Jaq D. Hawkins - "Initiation into Hermetics" by Franz Bardon For those that don't have access to these texts, here's an interesting article on Paracelsus elementals: https://edmundsiderius.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/knowledge-in-nature-knowledge-of-nature-paracelsus-and-the-elementals/ Here is another article on Paracelcus but contains criticisms of his work: https://britishfairies.wordpress.com/2019/01/20/anti-paracelsus-the-man-who-messed-up-faery/ I really like @WitchofEarthsCuriousGoods videos showcasing specific workings with each of the elementals.
