Dedication This workbook is dedicated to all those who

have a love for Magick and for getting the most out of life,
and most of all my Demons (Divine Intelligences) who
made this work possible, and gave me the desire and will
to create such a needed work for all those who are serious
in their studies. I would also like to dedicate this work to
S. Connolly who always encourages and stands by with her
love and support in all the work that comes forth.
Introduction
After we learn the basics of energy manipulation, direction
and learning what our True Intent is, it is usually the next
step in the process to begin learning how to build
correspondences. What is a correspondence? It is the fine
tuning of what weve previously learned on our spiritual and
magickal practice. They are the bread and butter of what
makes our magick more unique to us, and helps to dial in
more directly to the energy we are trying to create. It is the
goal of this chapbook to get you familiar with the Elements,
how to use them and how to incorporate what we call
correspondences into your practices. It will make your
experiments more power-packed to get results faster and
more accurately.

There are many correspondences in which you can choose.

You may include just one or two, or you may get as
elaborate as you can possibly get, creating a ritual to
incorporate 10 or more correspondences. In the beginning of
your work, you may want to try just a couple at a time to see
the effects of each corresponding Element within your
experiment. After you get a feel for just one or two, begin
adding a few more Elements and note your results. Its
always a good practice to journal all of your experimentation
so you can go back later and re-read what youve done and
also to compare the results to what you experienced when
you did the work. Often times, results wont manifest for
days, weeks or sometimes even months later. If youve been
journaling your experiences you will begin to see patterns.
The same is true of correspondences. Over time your
perceptions and experiences with each one will change as
you gain a better understanding of the Element.

What Ive provided you with here is a very basic set of

correspondences to begin to work from. There are many
more corresponding Elements you can learn to use than
what I have listed. These are the very basic Elements that
you should learn and incorporate into your practice.

Building your correspondences is a simple process though a

lot of people dont do it. Its easier to look it up in a book
and go from there without even knowing what the Element
means. Unfortunately this is commonplace in todays world.
The old ways of learning to research each one individually
has gone by the wayside. It is my intention that you will take
this work and begin to do as many like myself have done
over the years, and begin to use your own list of
correspondences and build upon what is presented here.

The book is broken down into each Element with a capital

E to distinguish between magickal Elements and physical
listings with their corresponding elements listed below. I
have headed each Element section with its symbol as that is
part of the learning process. You will come across many
instances as you progress in your magickal studies where
you will not see words for the Elements, just their symbols
so knowing how to recognize them is very important.

So why this work? Why not just refer to tables of

correspondences that are in so many other books? The
answer is simple. Many people look at those lists and tables
and have no idea what they mean, or what to do with the
information. It is my intent to make the information available
in one work, and give an explanation to each Element, as well
as give you examples of rituals that have incorporated these
kinds of correspondences in them. After the section, you
will also notice a separate section that has a quiz on it, as
well as some exercises you can do to get better acquainted
with the correspondences. Ive broken down the sections on
the Elements in the following manner:

Day of the week The day(s) of the week that is associated

with the current Element
Cardinal Direction The most common quarter associated
with the Element. Please note that some traditions do not
place Earth and Water in the common placement of North
and West respectively. Alchemically, North for Earth is not
really a good placement for it because of the way the
Elements rotate. Experimentation with the placement of the
Elements, you might be surprised at how it turns out.
Attribute The attributes associated with the Element,
gender and feel.
Tarot Suit The Suit in a Tarot deck associated with the
Element
Deities The Deities associated with the Element
Colors - The color associated with the Element
Metal The metal associated with the Element
Stones The stones associated with the Element
Herbs The herbs and scents associated with the Element
Planet The planet associated with the Element
Zodiac the zodiac sign(s) associated with each Element
Magick and Ritual - Rituals and Magick associated with
each Element.

As you can see with the above list there are many things
you can use to make your magick more meaningful to you.
The deities Ive listed are very few, but they are the ones I
work with most. There are many more you can associate with
each Element. I encourage you to add to or replace it with
your own pantheon of deities that you work with the most,
or try some new ones. The choice is totally up to you. Thats
the beauty of correspondences, they are very versatile.

If you look at the last thing on the list, Magick and Ritual, it
gives you a hint as to what kind of magick you can use the
Element for. This is not a complete list of correspondences
but they are the most common uses for each one.

Here are some examples of ways you might use these

correspondences:

1. Create a charm bag with herbs and/or stones in it, on the

day associated with the Element.
2. Write a ritual that honors the Element and perform it on
the day associated using stones, herbs and candles.
3. Make incense and oleums with the herbs associated with
the Element.
4. Wait until the Element and/or a planet is in a zodiac sign
associated, and then perform the ritual on the day
associated as well as in the appropriate planetary hour (See
Magickal Planets, B. Morlan on calculating
Planetary/Magickal Hours).

The list can go on; there are endless possibilities to creating

correspondences and making your magick more powerful.
On a side note, I would also suggest that as you work
through this book to practice writing the symbols for the
Elements as you go, over and over. The repetition is good
for recognition of the Element in other works that rely
heavily on symbols instead of words.

Its also a good idea to get a copy of the book 777 for the
meaning of numbers. This can be a key component in
figuring out what the numbers for each Element means and
can give you more ideas for experiments to try.

When you delve into this work youll see how important the
Elements are. Everything is connected and without the
Elements nothing can manifest in our lives or the world
around us. We wouldnt exist, there would be nothingness.
The exercises are designed for contemplation and becoming
one with each Element. Why would you want to do this?
The reasoning behind this is simply because when you
attune to the Element, energy flow is increased; you know
that Element and can then experiment with combining them
and getting into a deeper understanding of the relationship
of each one to the others and to yourself. Weather magick is
also something that is of interest for some. Once you have
attuned to each Element, you can attempt to control the
weather. A lot of people are skeptical about this practice but
once you do it there is a sense of accomplishment and
fulfillment in your life. You will become a better magician for
it.

That being said lets dive right in and get to work on learning
and studying the Elements.

Magick and Ritual Monetary rituals (this includes finding
work/repairing a current job, new businesses, enhancing old
businesses etc.), building a firm and strong foundation,
enhancing the Element within you, affecting your mundane
surroundings.

The earth is what we stand upon; it's what gives us stability.

Elemental Demons help us to ground and center. This is
what this Element does. Have you ever gone outside and
laid down or sat on the ground and began to feel like you are
heavy as a stone and ready to fall asleep or become just
plain sluggish? This is Elemental Earth. It is also associated
with the 10th Sephira of the Tree of Life, Malkuth. It is where
we begin our journey.

What properties does Elemental Earth represent? It

represents strength, mass and stability. We need these in
order to have a firm foundation in our spiritual and mundane
lives. Without stability and strength, our foundation will
crack and we will become unbalanced. This is the essence of
Elemental Earth. Of course, I am only giving you a very
generic examination of the Elements; it will be up to you to
add to these explanations.

Colors are a good way to represent the Elements in magick

as well. For this Element you want to use browns, blacks and
deep greens. Soil, rocks, gemstones and salt are all good
physical representations of this Element.

Each Element has its own temperature and feel to it.

Elemental Earth has the attributes of being dry and cool.
This dryness and this coolness is what will allow us to get
to know this Element in greater detail.

Exercises

1. Listed above are four deities. Use those particular 4 deities

meditation, charging objects and getting to know the
Element better.

appropriate to place the suit of Swords and Wands in a
different set of correspondences depending on your own
personal belief and World View. The author has placed them
in the order that he uses but feel free to flip them backwards
if you associate Wands with Fire instead of Air, and Swords
with Air instead of Fire.

Elemental Air can be a tricky Element for some people. It has

caused some to become very light headed, confused and
even physically ill, like getting car sick. However, it is a very
important Element to get to know in our magical practices.

The attributes of Elemental Air are warm and moist. Its

properties include Creativity, Mental Stability/Instability,
Wisdom, Knowledge, Clarity, Focus and intuition (psychic
development). It can also be used to cause confusion.

Colors associated with the Element of Air are white and light
yellows. A great physical representation of Elemental Air is
incense.

personal belief and World View. The author has placed them

if you associate Wands with Fire instead of Air, and Swords
with Air instead of Fire.

Fire is a very energetic Element. It produces results in a fast

paced environment, and causes huge changes within its
reach. Other than the obvious destructive nature of this
Element, it also swings the complete opposite after all, all
the Elements have positive and negative qualities to them.

Elemental Fire is associated with Cleansing, Purifying,

Sexuality, Lust, Intense Love, Action, Intense Energy and
Motivation just to name a few of the many characteristics of
this Element.

The qualities of Elemental Fire are dry and warm.

Colors associated with this Element are reds, oranges, deep

yellows and gold. Candles, balefires, cutting devices
swords, daggers as well as lancets are great representations
of this Element. I mention lancets because of blood. Blood is
very prevalent in the Element of Fire, even though it
contains all Elements.
Exercises

1. Listed above are four deities. Use those particular 4 deities

to cast an Elemental Fire circle. Note your feelings, thoughts,
and experiences in your magickal journal. If you need a

4. If you have a cauldron, light a small fire inside of it, and sit
as close as you can to it. If you are able to make a fire
outside, thats even better. Feel the energy coming off of it
and experiment with touching it, allow the energy to
consume you. Note your results.

5. Create an Elemental Tablet to use in your circles for

meditation, charging objects and getting to know the
Element better.

Magick and Ritual Psychic development, love magick, any
kind of magick dealing with emotions, healing, protection.
Elemental Water is a wonderful Element to get to know and
incorporate into your practices. Water is soothing and
calming, healing and comforting. What does water remind
you of when you think of it or swim in the ocean or in a
pool? It always makes me feel safe. These are all things that
deal with intense emotion.
The attributes of Elemental Water are all of those things
above: Healing, Calming, Soothing, Comforting as well as
Emotions both positive and negative, as well as
Compassion and Protection. Flow is another great attribute
of Elemental Water. Divination and Intuition also fall into
this category. It makes sense that Intuition goes with the
water Element, because it is the feminine aspect of air, which
also goes with divination and intuition.

The attributes of Elemental Water are cool and moist.

Colors associated with Elemental Water are blues, light

grays and sea greens or light greens. Chalices, cups and
seaweeds are great representations of this Element.

Exercises

1. Listed above are four deities. Use those particular 4 deities

to cast an Elemental Water circle. Note your feelings,

you will shock your system. It can be a little warm, but
should be cool to the touch. Get into the tub and lay down
as much as you possibly can. Dont worry if your body isnt
covered completely just try and get as much under the water
as you possibly can. Feel how the water feels on your body,
the energy of it. Focus on how your body feels within the
water. Let the water consume you. Note your results.

meditation, charging objects and getting to know the
Element better.

Spirit

Day of the week All

Cardinal Direction Above and Below
Attribute All
Tarot Suit All
Deities Hecate, Baal, Satan, Atem
Colors Purple, Black, White, Red
Metal -- All
Stones -- All
Herbs -- All
Planet -- All
Zodiac -- All
Magick and Ritual Rituals involving worship and honor,
balancing, adding potency to rituals, pathworking, inner-self
working, Hermetics, Enochian Magick, advanced forms of
Magick. Basically anything you can think of the Fifth
Element, or Quintessence, can be worked with.
The reason I put All on almost everything in the
correspondence list, is because of the nature of the Fifth
Element. Its nature is that everything is within this one
Element, it binds all other Elements together to create Spirit,
that all inclusive energy that allows for our being to be in
existence. Without Spirit we cannot function within the
world or the Universe. The Universe is Mental. You will hear
that a lot in your magickal and spiritual education and
journey along your path. We dont have that knowledge of
the Universe without the Fifth Element, likewise, without
each individual Element the Fifth Element does not exist.
They must work together to create life and death and
continue the cycle and rotation of everything known and
unknown.

Exercises

1. Listed above are four deities. Cast a balanced circle using

one of each Elemental deity at each cardinal direction. Then
from the center of the circle invoke one of the Fifth Element
deities. Note your feelings, thoughts and experiences in
your magickal journal. If you need a starter sheet you can
copy to make a journal, I have provided one to you in the
back of the book.

2. Research new deities associated with this Element and

work with them in a circle as the previous exercise.
3. Meditate inside this circle on one or all of the deities, the
Element itself, or just your surroundings. Note your results.

4. Create a sigil of one of your Fifth Element deities and

meditate upon it within a balanced circle. Try it also in an
unbalanced circle and note the differences.

5. Create an Elemental Tablet to use in your circles for

meditation, charging objects and getting to know the
Element better.

Questions

1. What is your initial reaction to this Element?

2. How does the Elemental circle differ from other constructs
youve done? How would you change it?
3. Did you make a tablet to use? How did that affect your
magick?
4. Was this Element difficult to connect with? Why or why

5. What are your results with this Element, compared to
other Elements, with regards to attuning to it?
6. Have you tried to change the weather after attuning to the
Element? If so, what are your thoughts?
7. Other than the magickal uses listed, what other rituals or
magick could you do with this Element?
8. How has your magick changed since incorporating
correspondences in your work?
The Magickal Journal
The following is a form you can copy to begin your
Magickal Journal. Its vitally important to record your
thoughts, feelings and experiences so that you can go back
and look at your progress. It will help you to gain a better
understanding of your own development. Things may
change meaning for you further down the road. There are
Elements on the page that dont seem to be important at first
but they help you to see patterns, so that you can either
continue doing things the way you are, or modify your
practices if youre struggling with something. The form is
self-explanatory so you shouldnt have an issue with filling
it in.

You can even modify it to be a Divination Journal or Dream

Journal. This form can be used for any and all of your
magickal recording. If you need more room, use the back of
the page as well!
