Having the element physically present is optional, but it will help, especially when you are new to this.
Now to begin your ritual! You should start by becoming one with the element, imagining your entire
body and spirit as being made out of the element. You can use a simple affirmation to help yourself
achieve this, such as "I am (name of element)". You may hold the element in your hand as you visualize
yourself becoming that element. You now have connected with the element, giving you access to a pool
of elemental energy.
The final step is to direct the energy towards its goal. You can visualize the energy being released in the
direction of the goal while saying an affirmation or chant. For instance, if we use the previous example
for increasing passion in a relationship, you could visualize you and your partner being romantic
together, and then say in a commanding voice an affirmation such as "The eternal power of fire brings us
passion". Inhale, and feel the remainder of the fire energy being released as you slowly exhale.
It is done. Repeat this ritual often, until the goal has been achieved.
Once you are comfortable with all this information and have practiced enough that you are confident
with it, you can move on to Elemental Magic II.
Elemental Magic: Elemental Magic II
Elemental Magic II will cover some more advanced techniques to be used during elemental magic.
Please be sure you have read Elemental Magic I first so that you have the foundation in place to learn
these advanced techniques.
Having learned the basics and experimented with them, you should no longer need any physical tools for
working with the elements, so I will not cover having the element physically present. At this point, you
should be ready to use no tools but your own mind.
The first part of the advanced techniques is to learn to moderate the amount of energy you use. You can
specifically decide how much or how little energy you wish to send out, which will bring you more exact
results. There are many methods to do this, but this is the one I consider easiest.
Once you have reached the step of visualizing yourself as being made out of the element (see Elemental
Magic I), place your hands in front of your chest with all the fingers touching eachother (thumb to
thumb, index finger to index finger, pinky to pinky, etc.)
Now visualize a ball of light forming within your hands. This ball of light will be in the correct color of
the elemental energy you are using:
Earth: Green
Air: Yellow
Fire: Red
Water: Blue
Now, depending on how much energy you will need to use for your ritual, imagine the ball of light
growing or shrinking. When you sense that the energy is in the right quantity, use your affirmation and
release the energy towards its goal as described in the previous lesson. If you do not want to release the
energy, but rather want to energize yourself with it, just inhale to bring the energy into your body.
Another valuable use for the above technique is to charge an amulet, charm, or talisman with the
appropriate type of energy. For instance, if you needed a charm that would give you strength, you could
