Everything You Need to Know About Working with the Magic of the Elements For thousands of years, our ancestors believed that the Elements-Earth, Air, Fire, and Water-were the building blocks of the Universe, and their inherent properties and energies could be directed to manifest particular outcomes. This belief grew and evolved over time as part of the Western Mystery Tradition, a body of beliefs that has had significant influence on the dynamic nature-based religion known as Wicca. Through ritual and magic, Wiccans interact with the primal forces of the Elements in a variety of ways, calling upon them for assistance in the transformation of their realities just as the earliest shamans did in the ancient world. You may already be aware of some aspects of how the Elements figure into Wiccan practice. For example, you may know that each is represented by different ritual tools-the pentacle for Earth, the wand for Air, the cup for Water and the athame for Fire. But did you know that the psychic energies of each Element are found within each and every person on the planet? Or that by connecting spiritually with a particular Element you can help address an imbalance in your life? And let's not forget the all-important Fifth Element, known in many traditions as Akasha, or simply Spirit, which contains the other four and yet is an Element in its own right. But if all of the above is news to you, don't worry-it really doesn't matter how much you've learned so far about Wicca or the Elements. Elemental Magic was created for both beginners and more experienced Witches alike. In this guide, best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain covers it all: the basics of incorporating the Elements into your rituals, as well as less-often discussed topics like animism, Elemental personalities, and using these forces of nature to help you enhance your magical perception. Indeed, as you will see, an Element-centered practice is a rich and rewarding way to deepen your connection to the Goddess and God, to Nature, the Universe, or whatever terms your particular belief system ascribes to the power of All That Is. Foundations of Elemental Magic In order to truly grasp the underlying concepts behind working with the Elements, it's important to learn how these components-Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit-came to be defined in Western magical traditions. You'll also need a close look at each individual Element to understand its inherent properties and its potential to transform your magical practice. You'll find all of this in Elemental Magic and much more: Our earliest civilizations' understandings of the Elements and their relationship to magicHow recent scientific observations reflect these ancient conceptsThe core magical properties of each Element: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit, and how we are personally influenced by these energiesWays of attuning with individual Elements for enhanced living and magical practiceElemental relationships with deities, "elemental beings," and spirit animalsAn overview of Wiccan ritual with a focus on the Elements, including altar layout, casting the circle, and calling the quartersTechniques and magical practices for working with individual ElementsSpells, rituals and charms focused on each individual ElementIn addition, you'll find tables of correspondence covering the magical properties of each Element, as well as associated colors, spell ingredients, ritual tools and more at the end of the guide. Elemental Magic will be a treasured reference, magical guide, and springboard for you to make your own discoveries about the power of the Elements and the magic they have to offer.

On the island of Puerto Rico, a United States colony, things changed after World War II. With the economic growth of the US, the socioeconomic conditions of the Island also changed. The short stories of La Pobre Piquiña view these changes from a perspective of an author who witnessed part of that transition. The Piquiña (the itch), a road made to facilitate the militarization of the Island, grew and died in these stories. In them, the reader sees a culture changing from agriculture to manufacture, a country that struggles to keep its own identity against the incredible push of the world's most powerful empire. In the pages of La Pobre Piquiña, which could be translated as the "poor itchy road", a widow decides to take the blame for her husband's death in Vietnam and isolates herself for 30 years, a farmer's grandson becomes a drag queen, a mayor sees his town taken away by a river, and a New York scientist finds his most unforgettable moment thanks to a tycoon's misfortune. The last 50 years of Puerto Rico's 20th century are depicted in these short stories that present the micro cosmos of one of earth's last colonies.

The book of Exodus was written by the author of Genesis, Moses. Although this book focuses on the departure of the nation of Israel from bondage in Egypt, it begins with a short synopsis of the original participants of that nation who first arrived in Egypt 2281 years after the creation of Adam. The eventual bondage of the nation is addressed followed by the birth of Moses, the author of this book. He was born 2631 years after the creation of Adam; 80 years later, in 2711, he led the children of Israel out of Egypt and into the wilderness where they would remain for 40 years. However, the books of Genesis and Exodus were completed by the second year in the wilderness; therefore, the book of Exodus ends 2713 years after the creation of Adam. Before this book ends, this freed nation will have a leader, a law, a place of worship, a priesthood and an army prepared to take possession of the land promised to them by the LORD since the days of Abraham. This book is laid out in the same order as your Bible for easy searching. For example, if you are looking for commentary on a verse in Chapter 2 in your Bible, you can find those same verses and commentary in Chapter 4 of this book. Enjoy!
