The four elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth exist as spiritual essences, as philosophical concepts, as energy states and as a tangible physical reality. " Working magick with the elements helps to connect us to the tangibly present natural powers in our physical world, whilst at the same time we are returning to the building blocks of magick by rooting our feet in the material world. Since Empedocles formalized the system in ancient Greece in the 5th century BCE, the four elements have become an integral part of the Western Esoteric Tradition – passing from ancient Greek magick, through the Qabalah, & Grimoire Traditions into modern derivative traditions of ceremonial magick and paganism.
The Chant:
Darksome night and shining moon
Hearken to the Witches’ Rune
East then South, West then North
Here, Come!
I call Thee forth!
By all the powers of land and sea
Be obedient unto me
Wand and Pentacle and Sword
Hearken Ye unto my word!
Cords and Censer, Scourge and Knife
Waken all Ye into life
Powers of the Witches’ Blade
Come Ye as the charge is made!
Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hell,
Send your aid unto the spell
Horned Hunter of the night
Work my will by magic rite
By all the powers of land and sea
As I do say
So Mote It Be
By all the might of Moon and Sun
As I do Will
It shall be done!
In a world where Wicca is something one does as a solitary or with his or her coven, this book demonstrates how Wicca is something one experiences with kith and kin. It focuses on a modern context for pre-Christian fertility religions and examines such issues as Archetype vs. Stereotype, Real Ritual vs. Real Life, Clergy vs. Guru, and as its title implies Couple vs. Coven. In so doing, this book gives us the foundation for rethinking the focus of our involvement with this religion in the context of our own deeply felt needs and desires. The book focuses on a Wicca where the structure is founded on the natural bonding of a couple. It includes rituals for Hand Fasting, Wiccaning, and Hand Parting with a discussion of how these sacred rituals have been almost trivialized in Wiccan culture and what steps we can take to return their sanctity.
