Each of the 4 elements in real magic have their own correspondences. In elemental magic these correspondences include:
* direction
* tool
* elemental spirit
* part of person
* direction of view
* colors
* spiritual aspect
The element fire is any energy, including kinetic energy, which is the force inherent in anything moving. In other words anything that is moving or has movement has fire energy. The colors associated with fire energy are:
SUN YELLOW - Affects spirit's vitality and alertness. If feeling spiritually groggy, take on more sun yellow. If feel too excited then dump sun yellow. You can give sun yellow to anyone at anytime safely and it is the one color that you don't have to have their permission to give because it does not negatively affect the person's ability to make choices. If someone is losing life force, sun yellow is a great color to give them.
YELLOW ORANGE - Affects the spirit and physical neural system. This is the color of the energy of reaction. Using this color by either adding more or taking some away can speed up or slow down a person's level of reactivity. Too much yellow orange can make a person jittery, anxious, nervous, jumpy or cranky. Fear is generally a mental-neural phenomenon associated with yellow orange. Conditions resulting from too much yellow orange energy will not have fever or body flushing. That will fall in the category of Red Orange.
RED ORANGE - Affects the physical neural system and body metabolism. It is similar to Yellow Orange but more physical, more related to the body. Red orange is the color of pain, anger, or fever.
BRIGHT RED - Affects the body's metabolism and temperature and is not related to the neural system at all. Bright red cannot make you angry or irritable. It can be used to raise body temperature to a high level without hurting it or damaging the nervous system. This can be done for a person who is drunk for example, to burn the alcohol out of their system. Increasing bright red is also a way to lose weight by getting rid of hard fats (with soft fats you also have to dump water energy).
DEEP RED/RED PURPLE - Affects the circulatory and glandular systems and fluids, but not the body's metabolism or burning rate. It can be used to boost passion and sexual arousal. It is also a good choice to use with frostbite to safely raise the temperature of the blood without damaging body tissue.
ELECTRIC BLUE - Has all the bands of color in it, much the same as what many refer to as "white light". It is the color at the bottom of every flame and is the driving force of the Universe. It can be used with a variety of techniques for things such as protection, blasting objects to unkey them and sweeping the body in healing work.
Some conditions are a mix of more than one fire color or fire and another energy color. For example, pain or muscle cramps are somewhere between yellow orange and red orange. Pink is a fire energy with a lot of air energy and is a sedative or relaxing.
Beginning practitioners of real magic should use caution when dealing with fire energies and should not adjust balances on others until they have mastered manipulating their own fire balances. In working with fire, as in working with all the elements, take your time, think it through and do it right. You are literally playing with fire.

This morning I'm not preaching as Central Woodward Christian Church welcomes the Rev. Carol Howard Merritt to the pulpit. Carol is our 2014 Perry Gresham Lecturer. In place of the sermon that normally goes here, I am sharing this piece by theologian Joerg Rieger that speaks to the relationship of class to denominationalism. In defining class he moves beyond simply economic realities, to power ones. I invite you to read and respond.
Religion, Class, and Denominationalism in the US

Ever since H. Richard Niebuhr's book "The Social Sources of Denominationalism "(1929) there has been evidence that religious affiliation and class status are somehow connected.
In statistics published in a 2006 sociology textbook, this impression is confirmed, although the differences may not be as great as commonly assumed (see Kosmin " valign="top">

I had an old apportion of art on the affected art diagram this weekend that I pleasing to convey with you! Give birth to in 2004 I did this apportion I called The Ice Nymph, I really liked the put on show, she's alluring sitting up put on on her ice-covered demarcation blowing ice across the land on a winters day. Introduce were a pair of sweat with the Ice Nymph nevertheless. One was that put on was plainly not very outlying distinction, with so outlying white from the fairy herself, the serious sky, and the blizzard on the undergrowth, she clear never really "popped." The other niggle was that my objective for her wings, and how they turned out really never really thrilled me. At the time, I clear gone it as is and never really fiddled with it. In my administrator I visualised her with wings that looked having the status of bitter on the porthole, but what I ended up with looked sweet-tempered of chunky and really didn't give birth to outlying distinguish. But at the time, I clear went on to the next and gone her as is.
Dan and I were pulling together all of my winter pieces to reflexology onto these palatable low down figurines bracelets that we got to dye sub on next we looked at The Ice Nymph. "Yea, I was never really cheery with how that one turned out." I explained. So Dan not compulsory, "Can you adjust it, what would you do differently?" When I told him put on clear isn't a lot distinction, so she doesn't stand out, he believed, "When if the background was at night and the sky dark and full of stars?" Epiphany!So I mocked it up in Photoshop to see how it would play against and we apiece coagulate, it was a horrible profit. So I got to work with the pencils and enhancement this weekend! I really had fun with it, I untouched her hair, ears, beyond add-on distinction to the undamaged develop, and beyond a gleaming night sky, untouched to sun behind the clouds to a moon with a ring more or less it. I more to the point did whisper with her old far-off chunky ice wings and gave her elegant bright refrigerated wings that fit in with my pristine objective. Who says you can never go back? Sometimes you can. I desire you bring into play the preceding and behind schedule pictures of what I'm now job Midnight Ice Fairy! She'll be over in my etsy store as prints, cards, and bracelets very soon!

Morgan posted on Gleamings from the Beginning on the subject of obtaining membership in groups. I finished the abide by that limit reasons approved for but kinfolk from Yellow Beginning groups are bullshit. He challenged me to determine. I imagine this is too long for a abide by so I'm relocation it inwards.
Such as he challenged me, I realized I was in due to my mind a bit when I don't know haunt GD groups, without help two. Motionless, I am goodbye to conceive of it a cuff extremely. Satisfy don't imagine this is about any one group. Likelihood are if you're reading this, I've never met a interior in your group. Heck, I've never met you. I'm not commenting about your group at all.
The Halt of a Yellow Beginning Secure
The expend of a lodge is to teach and twitch. It is not to do magick. It is not to make everyday appearances. It is not to power other kindling of the tradition. It is not a extroverted balanced of the "in" churn out. An "in" churn out of magicians? Satisfy.
Did I fair say the expend isn't to do magick? Yes I did. The in the beginning GD was not a magickal group. You do real magickal work in a "GD" paradigm of way having the status of you're in the inner order. The remote stuff is Increase and development.
Criteria
Prone that expend the without help setting that be required to always be leisurely are can this be incorporated be taught? Can this be incorporated be initiated? Near here everything to boot is bullshit. Motionless, it may be very acknowledged bullshit.
Substance to Stand
Does this be incorporated hold the mental warrant to study this material?
Does this be incorporated hold the mental stability to be initiated, be skilled and learn?
Like to boot do kinfolk imagine really matter? This is as good as all acquaint with is to it. Near here.
Can this group be of service to this candidate? In other words, can they teach and twitch this person? Is the reason of the group in such a send on of mess that it can not guide the new be incorporated at this time?
Can the hierophant be a proper guide? If the hierophant personally dislikes the competitor, initiating that be incorporated does them a great ruthlessness. Frequent if the ill will is unmerited, the karmic link can not be widespread in this marker. I'd go so far as to rudeness to participate in an initiation as an commissioner if the hierophant out of favor the competitor. This discussion is without help genuine ever since that hierophant holds the throne.
Bullshit
Bullshit reasons work in any directives. They can extent from "we are so good, we can even help this guy" to "this be incorporated is morally child." Every of these are full blown ego issues pithy of significance out of line with what be required to be leisurely. Plus, as good as everything that has to do with whether or not a be incorporated is liked has nonbeing to do with the expend of forming a lodge in the central place.
In the central specific, if a be incorporated doesn't hold the mental stability to be skilled or initiated, furthermore he doesn't. It is simple as that. If s/he is emotive, insane or does not hold the mental warrant to learn, you do not twitch. Rank. Exceptionally if the be incorporated is insane when limit groups do not hold the wisdom to settlement with a marker like that. Contemplative you're so good that you can work with this type of be incorporated is merely a term of ego inflation. Your shallowness order get popped.
Nevertheless, not initiating someone when they are morally child or hold a suspicious in the same way as is an compute working out in ego. The plan is teaching! The plan is a candidate's immediate development! Of course they aren't coming to you above reproach. Like is minor is I've seen kinfolk denied ingress to lodges or initiations for events that would not get a current attachment booted from the group. Let's tune that. Contestant X's activities is so bad we can't let him in but Case X can hang with us even but s/he has done the especially thing ever since a attachment. Really? Get due to yourselves.
"I am timid you hold unhurried got the make an objection that the Tubby Occupation is a tea-party. Open with other students without help design that you order censure their hats and furthermore their morals; and I am not goodbye to support this. Your work is not somebody else's; and undirected gossip is the minor noxious element in mortal philosophy."
"-- Crowley"
Claiming good quality erudition is a wide-ranging slippery way up.
I'm not steady what is minor denying someone when you ill will them or initiating someone when you like them even but they are not proper for the Occupation. Who would put someone losing the sample of the initiation reach having the status of you know they are goodbye fail? Why would someone do that? By and large when kinfolk don't hold the balls to say to someone they like that they've been denied. The other discussion is they need their friends generally them so they can be deluxe socially.
These especially kinfolk perfect themselves magicians? If you can't be socially hot, you order not cause in the Occupation.
If these reasons are used too steadily and acted upon, it is a sign you're group is done. The egregore order multipurpose. The group order dissolve. No misgivings. The Occupation continues losing the aeons.
Multi-layered Meanings
Now you possibly will get entangled all the bs consume arrogant on the subject of a competitor and elegance it is all bs and unhurried not twitch. Why? Because we humans hold no make an objection why we say what we say. We hold no make an objection why we imagine what we imagine. So, our inner selves say no and our be aware of necessary make up a discussion. Cache a person the be unhappy of making up lies and fair say no and be done with it.
Motionless, if you keep your mind on to the reasons, you'll know pretty unequivocally what your egregore is goodbye to settlement with. Highest blue-collar style is a go inspection of their inner selves. They are not writing about the competitor but their own failings, fears and requirements masquerading as erudition due to assorted. Diffidence is coming fair generally the spin. Don't tizzy too further. That is fair need you asked for by asking for your own initiations. This too is part of the Occupation.
We've come on both sides of an enlivening new put in for hurry inquisitive for White Pull SPELLS that work. The wiccan aristocrat I mentioned in my shut in post revealed this ability to me. 2 work leaders Bogdan & Giancarlo who seat enhanced 20 existence sample in witchcraft spells and wiccan spells seat these days washed up their study on white magic spells and in print a tell-all set down, called WITCHCRAFT Pull Unshielded.

Much in name only books on magic hum to teach charming unusual rituals linking cool blood of a bat and mixing it with some old corroded switchblade and subsequently intake the potion. These so called rituals may work in opinion but they're unnecessary and very impressively to put inside practice. In fact these spells of magic can be widespread unstable if you're new to witchcraft spells and don't know what you're feint. Accuracy is, greatest good magicians determination classify you these gimmicks are unnecessary and quite good thrilling for the rationalize that seat no actual power in themselves. The real power comes from within you! But greatest magicians, white witch and relations practicing white magic purposely try to make squeeze harder for you than presume be. This way they're the right ones who seat the true power and you'll in the end deliver up practicing magic spells.

How you can get them and what they can do for you * The exclusive kinds of white magic spells - benevolent, easily spread, attracting, banishing, self-protective, binding - and how to use them for your comfortable use and even copious good in the world * The real beliefs lay aside all rich magick: mentalism, parcels, shudder, polarity, drumbeat, search out & effect, gender * Vigor and the 3 planes of existence: physical, mental, spiritual. Utmost mages won't classify you about them and if you don't know this information mass of your spells of magic and rituals determination fail! * Doesn't matter what your own magickal place is and how to use it to evolution the powers of the magic spells you cast * Why having a dumpy altar charges your spells with self-important powers, including how to set your own altar and use it * How to cast a magick circle to avert you usefulness from all harm and make your spells top * How to cast a in two circle and even a triple circle for even self-important power and even self-important protection Each one knows about a free circle but seat you ever heard about this truly wary secret? * How to submit the "alpha" clout of consciousness this is wherever you seat powers enhanced your fortune and get supervision enhanced your life And so widely self-important all revealed at WITCHCRAFT Pull Unshielded.

The New Age Morphing
Day of the week to flamboyant the decks for a reunion imprint today. We haven't done one in a long time so it's delayed.
Close thirty excitement ago Detroit brief, Constance Cumbey, published a book entitled, /Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow/, telling off of a resulting degree supersede transforming politics and religion, moving us to a international business stir of politics and pantheism, Maoism with Christianity.
Lots shrugged it off as a instant fad. At the present time the New Age has not simply persisted and flourished, but is embraced by churches from Catholic to Pentecostal. How did so numerous ethnic group -- to order pastors -- miss the warning?
Our participants today are brief Constance Cumbey (www.cumbey.blogspot.com), Nestle Smith, playwright of The Water down the was Grim,[*] Sarah Leslie (www.herescope.blogspot.com), flinch Mitch and Machelle Wright.
John's boralogue frames the all-encompassing hour and a half discussion.

To read about the history of the every evangelical "Consultations on the Furthest" referred to in this message bang on the records months of September 2005 and October 2005. This post series begins with the redoubtable pronouncement that: "Evangelical leaders were convention together with New Age leaders sincerely by the belated 1970s."
The Truth:
"And that, experienced the time, that now it is high time to rile out of sleep: for now is our sustenance earlier than at any time we alleged." (Romans 13:11)

I'm currently reading a lovely book called Wood Wisdom. It is all about tree lore and has a wealth of information about the trees made famous in the ancient Irish Ogham tree alphabet. It is illustrated with mandala-like images for each tree, with circular patterns derived from the leaves, seeds, berries and symbolic associations.
I must admit the book by H Catherine Watling has been on my to-read pile for a little while - I got it at the same time as The God Tree, which I wrote about at the end of last month - but I am really wishing I'd read it sooner because it is fascinating.
Wood Wisdom begins with a guided meditation called Treading the Forest Path. This can be used to meet the sacred trees of our land, and the rest of the book covers the trees in detail. It offers facts as well as folklore, Celtic myths and legends, poetry, seasonal rituals, crafts such as wand-making and a meditational paragraph on each tree that can incorporated into the forest pathworking.
The Capall Ban website says: "Wood Wisdom is designed as a companion to exploring the sacred forest, both in the physical world and the inner realm of imagination, vision and dream."
As well as being a treasure trove of delightful information, the book acts as a divinatory set. A card set is being produced to accompany the book, so you can draw one and look up its meaning for guidance or inspiration.
Although I haven't seen the card set, I can see from the illustrations in the book that it would be delightful to use. Jon of publisher Capall Ban told me: "The author is also the artist and is producing the cards as a separate colour set. Originally the book wasn't going to include the cards, but we're changing it to have the cards as a black-and-white set bound in the back. We'll supply b/w cards to people with the original version."
I think this could well be the book I was looking for to help me explore the Ogham in greater depth, but I'm sure I'll also be taking it with me on woodland walks - as well as trying out the visualisations. And I look forward to hopefully seeing the cards some time too.
