Noble Books a million, it don't matter. I'm here for all of it, right because they always have a spiritual section in there, you know, And in that spiritual section you can find all the metaphysical books, all the magic and the witchcraft, and literally anything you want if you've

ever been to a bookstore. And and they also have like all of your different oracle decks and your tarot decks and your tarot books and literally books about whatever it is I mean, spiritual, metaphysical, religious, it's all there, and I just love looking through it. And I get. I usually get a new deck and a new book every time I go, So I need to start giving away some of these some of these decks, because I'm never going to be able to use all of them.

But and as a matter of fact, the most recent deck that I just bought was the uh, the Alice in Wonderland deck, So it's pretty cool.

Orn okay, and you can see it right there. I mean, we don't have any plug to him or anything like that. But I was just like so drawn to this book and I was like, oh my god, let me let me get this. And I started reading into it, and I was like, and he's talking about He goes, look, you know the some people call it God, some people call it the universe. He goes, all of us magicians and mystics, we all call it the mysteries. And I was like, wow, all right, it's encompassed. Yeah. So I

just love learning about that kind of stuff. And like we always say, we are not the teachers. We are, you know, still students of the game itself, and so we're always soaking up more information. There's always going to be somebody that knows more than you, right, no matter who you you are, I don't care if you're ninety nine years old, you've been practicing the craft for eighty years, Like, somebody knows more than you.

you know. And I think that probably the only way you could unlearn it, hypothetically in quo denotations, would be too like now I'm religious and all that stuff is demonic, right Like, that would be the only way.

of Conspiracy was twenty twenty. But it was also aligning, like I started the cult, and on that same process, I was trying to mend a lot of the spiritual stuff in there, right, And so actually, like one of the very first guests that I ever had on the cult was John mcclucky, who was you know, the QHHT in the Past life regression before I ever even got into it, just I was just fascinated by it, and looking back at it, I'm like, that has nothing to

do with conspiracies. Why did I even go there, you know, But it was just because I wanted the Cult of Conspiracy to be about conspiracies and spirituality, which I'm happy that Jacob doesn't even like to talk about that kind of stuff because it allowed me to branch off to do a whole other episode that was strictly focused on the spiritual craziness.

Lo and Behold. A few years later, I ended up, you know, me and Jacob end up going on his show and we're talking about the Shroud of Turin and then and then we get to meet him over at Brohemian Grove in Florida, and it was just a crazy, like,

you know, full circle kind of thing. But whenever I was listening to him, and he used to always say this one thing to where he said, conspiracy always leads you to spirituality, and I was like, it has to, you know, And I always thought that was so fascinating, and so I don't know, maybe that's really where it all started. Maybe Sam is the one that planted that seed. Who knows, I mean, who knows?

And then that leads you into Rosicrucianism, and it leads you into Cobblism, and it leads you into all these different you know, uh, symbolic synchronicities and magic and all these different spells, and you're like, like, that is where the rabbit hole leads to, Like the rabbit hole always leads to spiritual processes and archetypes and all these different forces of everything, and you're just wondering, like, man, there is something so much like the things that they're doing

are beyond They're beyond surface level.

to at least slightly understand on a higher level. It's like if all of these things work, including magic, all of these things work, and we know that you take people their their energy and their attention away from whatever it is they're trying to do, and you put it towards the thing you want them to see to charge up the battery that is the thing they're trying to accomplish. It's like, well, how do you how do you not look at it that way?

this guy. He's a doctor, but he's like a like a neuroscience kind of doctor, right, and he was trying to measure what was if we're looking at human consciousness as a singularity and not as a divisible by eight million or eight billion or whatever it is, right, however many people there are on this I think, what is it? Eight billion people on the Earth or something like that, And he goes, what if we just look at it

as a whole. We found a way to measure that, right, And that's really where the idea I believe why people started looking into the human residence, which is kind of crazy and I could just be you know, drawing things together that don't match, but I think that that's really what.

You know, if you were to kind of measure the frequency of everybody and everything, and if everything is one thing, then you should be able to measure if it is one thing, then the Earth would be a pretty good place to start, right, And so he started realizing that moments, if not minutes, before any of these crazy events happened, there was a massive bike in the human residence every single.

kind of looking at it as a whole. And whenever we say that everything is one consciousness, that doesn't necessarily mean just human conscious And that is where we're going to go today as a matter of fact, the episode today, and you'll hear about it a lot, whether it is witches and wizards and warlocks and magicians and mystics and sages and gurus and shamans and all of them, like the high priestesses and high priests and all this kind

of stuff. Every single one of them have found a way to be able to use the elements to their advantage in one way or another. And I always used just used to think like and we talked about the druids, right, same thing, right like working with the elements, And I just, man, how do you even wrap your mind around working with elements? Like?

Coming from the perspective that we have held here lately, is that if everything is one, then how how are we to consciously connect with an inanimate objects such as water or you know, wood or fire or something like that, Because how do you even get into that mindset order to connect to it? Right?

fifth element, ether or spirit. The anciente saw the elements not just as substances, but as but as living forces that shaped all existence. Modern science may describe them differently, but at their core, the troops remained the same. Fire transforms energy, water flows through endless cycles, Air carries invisible currents, Earth anchors us in form, and the ether, though dismissed by modern physics, which you know not shall, still lingers

in our language of fields, space, and spirit. So this episode is about bridging the gap to show how science and mysticism are two languages describing the same world, to reveal how magic is real, alive, and usable, and to remind you that working with the elements isn't superstition, it's remembering how to speak to the forces of reality itself. So tonight, let's light the fire, pour the water, breathe the air, ground in the earth, and step into the ether.

Let's make magic reel again. Dude, Let's let's go baby. Yes, yes, So first I figure, well, we'll go to a website rey quick, and it's actually a place that we've gone to in the past. It is witcheslore dot com. So in which's lore on this website it says elemental magic, the five elements in witchcraft. Now, it's not only bound to witchcraft, like every form of mystic has worked with these elements to some manner in the past. We mentioned the druids earlier, they're not the only ones. We mentioned

the witches. They're not the only ones we mentioned. Literally, anybody who has ever tried to connect with the all, whatever you want to call it, whether it's the universe, whether it's God, whether it's the One, the Source, whatever it is, most people know that truth is always found in nature, So why not go right to that source? Right? So in this one it says Am says greetings, fellow witches. As practitioners of magic, we understand the power and significance

of the elements in our craft. Whether it's invoking the winds for clarity of thought, calling upon the earth to ground our energy, or communing with the waters for emotional healing, the elements are an integral part of our spiritual practice. Understanding the elements and their energies can help us deepen our connection with the natural and enhance our magical abilities. In this Guide to Elemental Magic, we will explore the

five elements fire, Earth, air, water, and spirit. See some people interchange them spirit, ether, same thing right, and their correspondences, including their colors, directions, symbols, and magical associations. We will also delve into the principles of elemental astrology, which provides valuable insights into the connection between the elements and these zodiac signs. Throughout this guide, we will also discuss rituals and ceremonies that can be used to connect with the elements.

We will also explore the principles of elemental astrology and how to use this knowledge to enhance our magical practice and deepen our connection with the natural world. I hope this guide will serve as a valuable resource for you as you explore the magic of the elements. Remember the power of the elements is within you, and by connecting with them, you can transform your life and your magical practice.

May the winds carry you, the earth ground you, the air in inspire you, and the water heal you on your magical journey. Before we start, it's important to note that elemental magic is a complex form of magic that requires a deep understanding of the elements and their properties. It is essential to approach elemental magic with respect and caution. It is also important to note that this guide is intended to serve as a starting point for your elemental

magic journey. It is not an exhaustive guide. An exhaustive guide, and you should continue to research and learn about elemental magic as you practice it. Now, we've heard how many magicians have come on this show. Whether it's Lord Byron or Ea or you name them. I mean, we've had

several of them on the show. They almost all talk about if they're trying to connect with a deity, you know, a spirit, an angel, a demon, an old God, a new God, whatever, right, they all talk about getting to know them as much as they possibly can, right, Like, what is it? What can I learn about this individual so that I can use them a little bit more in my magical practices. If we're looking at them as strictly archetypes, right then you would want to know every

single thing about that archetype is humanly possible. It's like whenever you're looking at a tarot card. You know, at first it's okay, you know, if you only get a one word, one word that pops up into your mind every time you see a tarot card, that's a good start, but it's not the whole of the story. You know. You want to look at what are they holding, what's what's the color of the sky, what's the color of their clothes? You know, you want to know all the

different symbolisms that is being represented within each card. And so that's where we're going with this. Yes, water is wet, you know, but what is it? What else is it beyond that? Right? Right? So that's what we're going to be trying to touch on today. So of course you got to start with Earth. Oh Earth, here we go, baby yep. So Earth embodies the embodiment of stability, grounding,

and material abundance. It is the fertile soil that nurtures life, the mountains that rise with unwavering strength, and the foundation on which we build we build our spiritual journeys. Just as the Earth provides sustenance for all living beings, this element enables, which is, to manifest their desires, anchor their intentions, and connect with the physical world. It aligns us with the rhythms of nature and helps us find balance, resilience,

and prosperity. Earth is often connected with the spiritual, with the practical aspects of life, including abundance, prosperity, physical health, and fertility. It influences our connection to the physical body and the material realm. Earth magic is especially potent for grounding and centering oneself, establishing bounty boundaries, and bringing stability during times of chaos or emotional upheaval. By harnessing the Earth's elemental energy, which is, can create foundations for their

intentions and manifest their desires in a tangible and grounded manner. Already, you're starting off like, okay, we can look at it for it's certain aspects, and you can see, at least on the surface, about how you may apply the Earth in your magical practice. Right yeah.

you know, for the mind? I love it, yeah, yeah, and it's I think that it's important to try and include it as far as our understanding, because whether you think that this is all a simulation or a matrix or whatever, you have to understand that, like our body is also part of that matrix, right, so like because without this matrix, we don't have a body anymore.

you know, make a drawbridge. And you know, the goal here is to create, So why not understand all the elements that you have right in front of you all the time to be able to create in the way that I believe that we were put here for.

back with like regret. Almost not so much anymore. I don't really hold any regrets, But there was a period in my life where I would look back that, oh, man, I was in such a good position, or I had a really good opportunity and I just let it squander itself, right, And that's probably the worst feeling, because you want to make sure that you're getting the most out of yourself given whatever position or situation that you're in. It's always regret is not so much about like, oh, I wasn't

presented with this opportunity. Like nobody's regretful for something that they were never presented the opportunity for. Right. You're regretful for having an opportunity and not taken advantage.

the Earth element. Additionally, crafting charms or talismans using Earth associated symbols such as the pentacle, the labyrinth, or representations of animals connected to the Earth can strengthen can strengthen the bond with this element. Working with grounding meditation or visualization techniques allows us to align with the Earth's stability

and find our inner balance. The Earth element serves as a grounding force in witchcraft, reminding us of our deep connection to the physical realm and the rhythms of nature. By embracing this element's energy, which is can cultivate stability, abundance, and resilience in their magical practices, whether through incorporating natural materials, performing spells focused on manifesting abundance, or spending time and nature. The Earth element offers a steadfast foundation upon which witches

can build their craft. So let us immerse ourselves and the Earth's embrace and embark on a journey of connection, prosperity, and spiritual growth. So this is pretty interesting, and they bring up the different correspondences for Earth, which I find pretty fascinating just as far as symbolism goes. So the gender for Earth is feminine. Obviously, it's Mother Earth, right,

It's always birthing new things all the time. The time is quite interesting, but it does make sense, says The time that it corresponds with would be the nighttime, And I guess it does really make sense because without the sun it would always be dark anyway, and the sun isn't necessarily element of the earth, right, it's separate from

the earth, right, So pretty interesting that way. Which then by accepting that, you would also have to agree that the season would be winter because without the sun it would probably just snow a lot. It'd just be cold as shit all the time. Oh shit, Okay, I'm with you.

The direction is north, which I guess also kind of makes sense if we are always stuck on a pole and that pole was always aligned with the North Star, right, I guess it makes sense most of the time that people align any ancient spiritual practices, just as we heard from symbolic studies the other night, it was always aligned with polar deities, and it was always the northern hemisphere that was always working with them. Yep, exactly, So it

makes sense that it would be north. That being said, the planets that would also be around would be Venus and Saturn. Venus makes sense because we're close to Venus, aren't we.

of the different correspondences. I mean, it brings up different herbs, food, and drink. The food and drinks would be root vegetables, grains, nuts, and herbal teas, everything that comes from the earth naturally, Okay. So the earth magical properties would be stability, grounding, abundance, fertility, manifestation, and practicality. Interesting, the manifestations on.

aspect of the the nature spirits or whatever. And then I looked over to my left and found a twenty dollars bill on the ground. And it was just like this magical thing that happened to me, because it's like if it would have happened and I wasn't even thinking about that whole thing, and I just found the money.

It's like, okay, I wouldn't even even put two and two together, but because of how it happened and what my mind was doing, and then I find money out of nowhere, I don't know, it was just like, oh shit, it's almost like.

time it was kind of something that almost went over our head because we were still, you know, young in our understand and I mean we still are very young in our understanding, there's no doubt about that. But the path is of the mystic, okay, and that we're on the path, you know, we are on the path. We're on the Full's journey. I don't know what steps were on yet, but we're definitely no longer We're no longer just the full, you know. I would say we're at least at the Magician, at the leavests.

currents of change. By tapping into the essence of air, witches can amplify their intellectual capacities, enhance their intuition, and facilitate the free flow of energy within their craft. Air magic encompasses themes of intellect, communication, inspiration, and travel. It aids in enhancing mental clarity, fostering effective communication, and seeking truth and wisdom. By working with the air element, which is can harness its energy to stimulate creativity, promote clear thinking,

and invite swift transformation in their lives. It serves as a conduit for ideas to take flight and for intentions to be carried far and wide.

shit that doesn't serve you. You're just you're paying attention to that and allowing your mind to to process and do things that it's supposed to be doing, you know what I'm saying.

a gentle breeze or conducting breathwork. Conducting breathwork exercises can help align with the energetic currents of air. Furthermore, crafting and utilizing wind a wind. Chimes or sigils featuring symbols associated with air, such as birds, feathers, or spirals can deepen the connection with this element. Engaging in divination practices such as scrying or working with oracle cards can also

tap into Earth's earth elements, intuitive and insightful aspects. The air element serves as an ethereal force within witchcraft, elevating our practice by stimulating intellectual growth, fostering effective communication, and facilitating transformation by embracing Air's energy, which can enhance their intuitive capacities, harness the power of their thoughts, and invite

swift change into their lives. Through mindful engagement with the element, whether through visualization, breath work, or incorporating air associated symbols and materials into rituals, we can soar on the winds of inspiration and embrace the limitless possibilities that air bestows. So let us open our minds, breathe deeply, and dance in harmony with the enchanting power of air. That's great.

the wind, you know what I mean. And so it's like you're really almost like HEMI sinking with the earth itself.

Because you think about it, most of the the the air creatures, they're going with the wind. They're not necessarily going against it. You know, that's just going to cause them to exert a lot more energy. They'd much rather go with the flow of the wind exactly.

like a reassurance, you know what I mean. And it was one of those uh air animals, you know, or insect But and.

what was that translated from? You know? And it was always the breath? Like the breath is the spirit. And you think about breath, I'm sure that is perfectly in line with wind, right right? M h absolutely? Air, yeah right, it's literally like you can't do it without air, you know. And if we are not generating some kind of wind every time we speak, I don't know what it is, you know. Ye, So that would be the air. The

nature spirits would be the Sylphs, the fairies, and the sprites. Interesting. Oh, the d d's associated with the air element would be hermes Iris, both Athena and mercury. Hm hmm. Shout out of Thoth, Dude. I always like to give him a shot out every time we can. Dude. Absolutely, he's one of the ogs of this show.

It represents the vast seas, serene lakes, and soothing soothing rivers rather that nourish the earth and all living beings. In the realm of emotions, water governs the depth of our feelings, encouraging us to embrace vulnerability, intuition, and empathy. By connecting with the water element, which is can navigate the currents of their emotions, tap into their psychic abilities,

and embark on a journey of healing and spiritual transformation. Now, before I read any farther, I do want to just say this, if for nothing else with this show, if you're not going to be working with the elementals or anything like that, just at least use it for your tarot understanding, right, right, Because every single tarot card has air, earth, water, fire, It's always something associated with it, right, And so if you're not going to use it, at least understand it symbolism,

which is to be honest, it's the main reason why I wanted to do it because I was trying to deepen and you know, broaden my under my own personal understanding of the tarot itself. And I feel like if you can at least get a decent understanding of the elements, you'll be able to apply that to every single tarot card.

what is witchcraft and magic and spirituality? If it's not being put into practice anyway, that's it, you know. So I don't know that could be something we look into. But anyway, water magic encompasses themes of emotion, intuition, healing, purification, and spiritual transformation. It allows witches to dive deep into their emotions, heal past wounds, and connect with their inner wisdom.

By working with the water elements, practitioners can harness its energy to enhance their psychic abilities, facilitate emotional healing, and invoke a sense of divine flow and receptivity within their craft. Now, if you think of every time that there's every time there's a baptism, usually water involved, right, and so maybe that element in and of itself plays a major role in shedding one's old body and coming into the the rebirthed new version of you. You know, and if you

think about it, every single time you're born. I mean we've only ever you know, consciously remembered being born once. But whenever you're born, like the mom's water has to break first, you know, and you're coming out of literally, as it puts it in the in the Bible, out of the matrix whenever you come out of your mother, right right, you know. So the woman's vagina is referred to as a matrix like a fucking border, yeah, which

is pretty cool. So you're born from the waters essentially, and so that's the whole idea of baptism is to be reborn again from the waters itself, you know, just the symbolism of it. So incorporating water in witchcraft to embrace the water element in witchcraft, there are various practices that witches can engage in to connect with its energy. Spending time near natural water bodies such as oceans, rivers, or even taking soothing baths can attune one to water's essence.

Collecting and consecrating water from sacred sources, or infusing water with intentions and blessings can create potent magical elixirs. Incorporating seashells, coral or other marine elements in altars or spells can also enhance the connection with water. Furthermore, engaging in scrying or mirror givenation rituals, as well as working with dream magic and intuitive practices can tap into the depths of

water's wisdom. Creating ritual baths or performing water based rituals for emotional healing, purification, or manifestation can be a powerful way to work with water's transformative energy. Meditation and visualization techniques can involve immersing oneself's oneself in the imagery of water or swimming in an ethereal sea can also deepen the connection to water. Wow a meditation and visualization of you swimming in an ethereal sea. That's all sign me

up all day so. Water, with its mystical depths and ever changing nature, holds a special place within witchcraft. By embracing the essence of water, which is can explore the vast seas of their emotions, tap into their intuitive powers, and embark on a journey of healing and spiritual transformation.

Through practices such as connecting with natural water sources, utilizing water and rituals or spell work, or engaging in divination and intuitive exercises, we can immerse ourselves in the enchanting flow of water's energy. So let us surrender to the currents, dive into the depths, and allow the mystical waters to guide us on our magical path of emotional healing, intuition, and spiritual growth. You know what this reminds me of? M Do you remember in Space Jam? You know the

tune squad. You know Michael Jordan's team was getting that ass whooped that halftime. Oh yeah, and Michael Jordan and all of his brilliance. He said, I'm gonna give them some of this magical juice, right, and he goes and he says, look, you drink this, you are going to outperform everybody. You are just going to go crazy, and he gives it to all of them. They all believe it, right, because they all asked him, like, what's that one thing? How do you do it? And so it just comes

up with this thing on the spot. It was water, right, It was nothing special. It was just regular tap water. Wasn't even anything crazy, right, but they all believed it, and that water it was Yeah, it was just a placebo effect really, but that water was essentially a placebo symbol in a sense that they ingested something and that's something is going to allow them to play as if they were Michael Jordan. Right, it's a magical elixir. Yeah, yeah,

what I mean. And it's crazy, and it's not really that crazy because even if you think about it, there's holy water, right, and like anytime there needs to be any kind of exorcism or you know, you go and get baptized or you go and get confirmed into Catholicism or whatever, there's always the water that goes on your head, right, And there seems to be some kind of spiritual connection

all the time to water. And is it because it's so malleable and so easily accessible, and people always use whatever was accessible to them all the time in their spiritual aid. Like all the time it was whatever you had with you. It was just like never more Airy said, like whatever you got in your kitchen, dude, it doesn't matter. Yeah, it's that.

Oh yeah, yeah I did. Okay, So water, it says that the gender of water would be feminine.

go to. The nature spirits would be undines never heard of that, mermaids or water nymphs. Okay um, yeah, so pretty interesting. The deities associated with the water elements would be Aphrodite, Poseidon, Yamaya, Isis, and Danu. Okay I like seem Poseidon in there. Poseidon makes sense to me. And uh not finally because we still got the spirit or the ether, but uh, next we are going to get

into fire. So fire dances with an intense in captivating energy, embodying the qualities of passion, creativity, will, power, and transformation. It is the spark of inspiration that ignites our desires, fuels our ambitions, and drives us forward, just as fire can both nurture and consume. The fire elements in witchcraft represents the potent force of change, the catalyst for spiritual

growth and the embodiment of personal power. By harnessing the essence of fire, which is can kindle the flames of their intentions, manifest their desires, and embody the transformative nature of this element. Fire magic encompasses themes of passion, will power, courage, purification, and transformation, and empowers witches to ignite their creativity, fuel

their ambitions, and embrace their personal power. By working with the fire elements, practitioners can tap into their inner strength, channel their intentions with fiery determination, and embark on a path to self discovery and transformation. If you're looking to incorporate fire into your witchcraft, you would use so to embrace the fire element in witchcraft, there are various practices that witches can engage in to connect with its energy.

Working with candle magic, where the flame becomes a focal point of intention. Setting and spell casting is a popular way to incorporate fire. Lighting candles, yes, lighting candles in colors associated with specific intentions, or using flame symbols and rituals can amplify the power of fire. Engaging in bonfire ceremonies, fire scrying, or fire divination rituals can deepen the connection

with fire's transformative energy. Utilizing fire related tools such as a cauldron, an anthem, or oh you would you would have thought the antheme would be more of a wind tool. But antheme is a fire one. How about that? Okay? All right?

their desires, and embrace their personal power. Through practices such as candle magic, fire divination, or visualization techniques involving the imagery of flames, we can ignite the transformative energy of fire within our craft. So let us embrace the flame, dance with intensity, and allow the elemental power of fire to illuminate our path of passion, empowerment, and profound transformation. Some fall, dude, just you know, it just fires me up.

So the correspondence is a fire. It's not shocking to me that fire would be masculine, of course, you know that one makes sense. The time would be noon, Obviously, it's the hottest time of the day, right.

wand candles, cauldron or burning herbs. All makes sense. The food and drink would be spicy foods, citrus fruits, herbal teas with stimulating properties. The fire animals would be a lion, a phoenix, a snake, a salamander, or a fox. Okay, I feel like fire is the easiest one to connect to. Yeah, oh, it makes like the most out of sense. Oh yeah. The nature spirits would be the salamander and the fire elementals.

All right, See, salamanders are a real thing, but the spiritual there is a spiritual salamander as well that is like completely fireproof. And oh yeah, yeah, it's like it's actually regarded a lot in the taro. Yeah, and what was it? The fire elementals? Yeah, so the deities associated with the fire element would be Apollo, Brigid, Pele, Hesgia, and Vulcan, a couple of those. I never heard of

it before, not gonna know, so sweet. All right, So now we're going to get to the final one on this page, which would be the spirit or the ether. A right spirit is the ethereal essence that exists beyond the physical realm, encompassing the divine, the collective consciousness, and the interwoven tapestry of all existence. It is the universal life force that breathes energy into every being in every element.

from the divine realm. Communing with spirit guides, ancestors, or deity figures through prayer, meditation, or ritual invocations can deepen the connection to Spirit.

consciousness is still there. You can't chop off your head and expect to even live to prove that consciousness is

still around, you know. But as said Guru and many others have stated, especially whenever it's in regard to you know, the whole chakra system, like your consciousness exists in all of the different energy centers essentially that you can put all of your all of your thought, and all of your focus into each individual one of the energy energy centers or the chakras or whatever you want to look at it, that every single one of them is it's all connecting back up and it feels like it's all

operating in the brain. You know. But and I've heard people say this before, and I totally believe it, you know, just they say that your your gut is actually your second brain, right, I believe it's actually your first, because if you really think about it, dude, try going up, especially whenever we podcast m We've found out the hard way several times that the worst thing that you can possibly do is eat a huge meal before you get behind the microphone, right, I mean, you are totally paralyzed.

lunch mm hmm, every single time. And that's why I think that like fasting is so important, dude, and why I really want to start incorporating that, like at least one day a week of fasting, Like I think that that is that is like monumental and something that we should be.

food from much farther away. You go into this hyper survival mode. And so that's why your brain is going to be sharper because it has to be because it it there. There's no room for error here, and you need to eat may to find your next meal.

that main focus. And I think that that's why every every single religious practice and spiritual practice, every single one of them. There is not a single spiritual practice that doesn't bring up fasting.

that they're consuming. It's like food for thought, is what it really is. And seal food. Yeah, honestly, it's kind of like ethereal food in that sense. And if you think about it, like what was it? Kevin James said he went on a forty one and a half day fast, which is like and he lost like over one hundred pounds in forty one days.

And I also felt like that hyper focus and I imagine if I was to have meditated for an hour, I definitely of access some sort of genius, you know what I mean, or higher self or whatever that is. God, if you want to call it that, you know what I'm saying, And so that there's definitely something to that.

crazy thing that it just knows to do. And maybe it's because it doesn't have to focus on breaking down all the foods and you know, distributing all the different nutrients to all the different parts of your body and your bloodstream and all that shit, right, But if you think about it, so for example, this past weekend, I

was sick as a dog. I got whatever my son had, and he was puking and he had the runs, and oh man, I don't wish that upon anybody, but I woke up in the middle of the night and I was going through the whole thing, and and I thought it was something that I ate, right, I didn't even think that it was because of him for whatever reason. But of course, you know, with a baby, you're kissing them all the time, you're hugging them all the time, like it's impossible to not smooch a baby, you know,

It's just they got the squishiest little cheeks. You just need to get your lips on. Oh yeah. And so I went to Louisiana this past weekend and I got super, super sick, and I thought it was the food. Well, that entire next day, you know, I went to sleep that night, that entire next day, I didn't eat it all,

and amazingly, I started just feeling so much better. I wasn't even thinking about food, honestly, like the thought of food made me want to throw up again, you know, right, And so I went the entire day without eating anything, and even today I've only eaten once and so and I feel like my body is regenerating.

with that you can't see. We've all experienced it in one former fashion, whether you want to call it dreams or terror, literally anything however you feel like you get there, We've all felt it in one form of fashion. And so yeah, why not try and tap into it? And so if you're trying to look for the correspondences of spirit, the gender is actually neutral or transcendent. Makes sense? Makes sense? Yep? The time is it's beyond time, it's eternal, makes sense, right.

The seasons would be all seasons. The direction would be either the center or beyond directions because it's everywhere. What else the zodiac would be all signs or none the major Okay, the tarot cards. Actually, interestingly enough, it would be the entire major arcana, particularly particularly the Full, which represents the journey of the soul. Interesting.

So we're gonna get it first. We're gonna start with the elemental map. So for the Greeks, the universe was made of four basic elements, the ether was the fifth. In India, the same pattern appears. Agne as fire, APAs was water, value was air, and prith v was earth, and Akasha would be ether. Makes sense, how about right? Native traditions around the world carried similar models, from the

four winds to the Sacred Directions. Modern science shows us that matter and energy are more are more complex than four categories. But what the ancients were really describing were processes, archetypes and forces. Fire as transformation, water as continuity, air as breath, and earth as structure, and ether as connection. So the elemental map is not a literal chemistry set. It's a way of seeing the patterns behind reality, a bridge between inner worlds and outer worlds. Dude, that's my jam,

that's my jam. Yeah. Yeah, we just need a little peanut butter to mix with that. That's it. That's it. Just a little bit. So firstly, to tap in a little bit more. This is I'm gonna tell you dude, this is gonna get so deep. It's awesome. U. Whenever I first was doing this research, I was like, oh my god, how have we not known this? But I feel like that with every episode to be on the show, so soh the science would have you looking at it like this. Fire is combustion electrons that are falling and

releasing photons as light and heat. When the flame ends, the energy doesn't vanish, heat diffuses, light races outward forever, and fire is energy moving form to form. So first of all, the flame isn't a thing. It's a process. So when you light a match, it seems like a flame appears out of nowhere, but what's really happening is a chemical reaction. The fuel, whether it be wax or wood, combines with oxygen, releasing stored chemical energy as heat and light.

The flame is not a substance that comes into being, it's the visible process of energy transfer. So once the fuel is gone, the process ends. So it looks like the flame has been destroyed, but the energy has simply changed.

thousand light years away, right. The the image that you'd be seeing through your telescope is not of what is happening right now. You would be seeing imagery of what happened, the distance of however that light took to get to your eye.

And if I can find if we can figure out what what are the substances and the materials and the realities and the chemical reactions and everything involving what each one of these elements are made of, maybe it will point toward where are we going after death? Where were we before we came here? Right? Because and what I mean by we, I mean by the physical body. Maybe we can attach the spirit to that as well, because we are getting to the ether and the spirit as well.

But I like to believe that, yes, you have flame, and you know earth and fire and water and all these things, right, But like each one of them has a spirit attached to them, right. So it's not that the flame is just a flame that doesn't have any spirit. It's that there is also a spirit to the flame. And this is something that like within alchemy they know this, right,

Every single thing has a spirit attached to it. And this is like if you look into We've talked a little bit about animism before, right, like how every single thing that you see has some kind of spirit. Might be a lower spirit, might be a higher spirit. It is some kind It has some kind of consciousness attached to it, yeap. Whether it be lower, higher doesn't matter, but there is something there if you can see it,

it has some form of consciousness. If we are to look at the natural elements as if we are made up of all of them, which we kind of are. If you really think about it, like, that's what we're made up of, the elements. There's like every single element that is out there, it has we have to be made of it. And so if we can get to know what each one of the individuals in each one of the individual elements are made of and understand its processes and understand its true nature, then maybe we can

start to understand our true nature as a background to it. Right. And so whenever you see how the fire goes about, how once the fuel about, how once the fuel is gone and the process ends, it looks like it has been destroyed. But that's not true. It's just that the energy has changed form. That was the key words there. Yep, the flame, the flame has been dispersed, but the energy that was creating that flame in the first place is still there. You just can't see it.

become part of the atmosphere. So nothing disappears. It just transforms into less visible states. The flame you see in the middle act of this transformation. So, dude, if that is not a perfect representation of maybe what even the spirit does, yep, I'm pretty interesting. I love it. So why it looks okay? So why it looks like it was created and destroyed but it never actually was, right, So to our eyes, the flame looks like a discrete thing that exits or I'm sorry that exists. It flickers

and then it dies. But it's much more like a wave on the ocean. You see a a shape rise up, a crest, and a vanish but the water itself never disappeared. The flame is a pattern of energy transfer, not a permanent object. So whenever you look at it like it is, you know, just a wave in that sense, it actually brings it a little bit more into context.

always perceive. Damn beautiful love it. So yeah, so the flame as the spirit. Now, okay, so a flame doesn't vanish when it goes out. The light it gave off still travels through the cosmos. The heat warms the air, and the smoke and ash return to the earth. The flame's form disappears, but its essence, the energy it released, keeps rippling outward. Likewise, when a person dies, the physical body is the fuel that stops burning, but the spirit,

like the flame, isn't destroyed. It shifts into new states that we can't always perceive. The subtle energy fields, the vibrations, or what the mystics call the asterisk or the astral or the etheric body m checks out to me. So just as most water keeps circulating through Earth's oceans and skies, most spirits may remain within the cycle of reincarnation. They change forms, moving from one body to another, carrying traces of memory and essence, like the embers carried on the wind.

So our flame, our flame personally dims in one place, put ignites in another. Nothing truly ever vanishes. It just takes new shape and just like some Oh God, this is going to get so deep, dude. All right, so you know, I don't want to read that one yet because we're going to go back to that in a second. So all right, The flame produces da da da. The flame produces light. So when something burns, atoms in the

fuel are excited by the heat. Electrons jump up to higher energy levels then fall back down, releasing energy as photons or particles of light. That's what you see as the glow of the flame, right, yep. So then let's get into this. Light travels at one hundred and eighty six thousand miles per second.

absorbed by matter. So some get some of the light will get absorbed by walls or air or even your eyes, but much of it streams into the night sky, joining the endless ocean of starlight. How about your eyes absorb it?

much fun. So yes, when a flame goes out the photon it already are the photons that it already emitted. Don't vanish. They keep traveling through space, carrying the memory of the flame outward into the cosmos. The ancient mystics must have known this. This must be why they worked so well with the elements. So why they worked with the elements? All right, So now we're going to start to get into a little bit deeper. So why the mystics would have worked with the elements. So fire wasn't

just warmth, It was transformation. It stood for the soul, spark, the living light that continues after death. Mystics saw the flames dance, it knew and knew that its symbolized spirit itself being eternal. Then that makes so much damn sense. And water wasn't just to drink. It was the eternal cycle of rebirth, renewal, and the soul flowing from one form to another without end. All right, but.

going to let it go. Now, whenever I deleted off my computer, it is still existing on the internet forever, m right, right. It just it just allows my computer to almost change form to allow us to do more episodes. Right, You see what I'm saying in that sense.

you know. And so is it just consciousness itself that continues, you know what I'm saying, since we.

think about, Like the fuck? What do they call the monks? Right? Like, their entire goal of why they literally dedicate their entire lives to meditation, is to live life without attachments, because the attachments almost pull you away from what you actually are right, So there is a center of what you actually are, and every single one of your attachments is not It's not like pulling you away from what you actually are in a bad way. It's just showing you

another aspect of this reality. But if you didn't have any, that's not you. Yeah, But whenever you think about what you are, they're simply just things that you like doing or there it's things that you have to do. Right. So like, uh, if you don't have any if you didn't have any attachments, you wouldn't have a wife, you wouldn't have any kids, you wouldn't have a job, you wouldn't have any anything that you'd be really interested in.

And what you would be left with if you didn't have all those things, you would just be left with all that is left, which is call it God, call it source, call it consciousness. It's that underlying thing that you don't need all of those things to survive. You can survive without a wife, you can survive without kids, you can survive without interests, you know what I mean. You can survive without fucking sixty thousand thoughts in a day. You can actually, you as a human body, can survive

without all of that. So all of those things are seen as attachments in that sense. And so but without those attachments, you just are the I am right, and so you still exist because that's actually what you are at your core. You see what I'm saying, right, it's just the I mean, I know you know this. I guess I'm kind of just working through it in my

own mind. No, sure, sure, And so that's kind of because I think about the shit all the time, dude, and I'm trying to, like, you know, really break it down in my own sense.

you know. And I think that that's the most scary part of even thinking about that is because it's I feel like that would be scary to feel like, oh, I'm not going to be aware of anything anymore, Like I'm just not going to exist anymore. And I don't know, I just maybe think about that a little bit lately.

to worry about with death. And you know, we have numerous examples as to why we shouldn't be worried about death, whether it is our own experiences or hearing about other people's experiences or looking into the science or looking into you know, whatever it is, Right, there's always that part of you that's like, man, what if I just don't know enough to be that comfortable with absolutely thinking that I know it all?

fuck did we come from? Where are we going? What are the things that we can do in this lifetime to make it more awesome, you know what I mean. And if we can find out what we're able to do, maybe would maybe we would be a lot less worried about life after death because we would know that we can transcend this physical reality through all these different kind of magical things. Yeah.

going to feel a lot better. It's just different ways of being able to look at it. So whether you whenever you die and you're in that fearful state, you can you can you can choose to experience that you know, but you can also choose to experience it in a like awesome way. And I think that that is just.

when that's not the point man, you know. But that's why I think it's important we look into all of these things and cover all of the different ways of thinking of you know, different lenses to look through, because ultimately that's what you got. You cut your lens that you look through, and you shape everything around how you're looking at everything.

the elements. Air represented the breath of life, the invisible but essential current that links all beings inhaling and exceling, mirrored the cosmic pulse. Oh interesting, And then Earth was stability, the vessel, the body that holds the spirit. It also returns everything to itself. Whenever I said and that what was a couple of episodes ago that whenever you die, you just go back to your cellf you know, like

you go back to you Yeah. Yeah, And so I think that whenever you know, you worry about like, well what about me? Where am I going? And you know, like, am I just going to go back and be absorbed by the universal consciousness? Yes, but it's not. It's not like a distant stranger like it is you. You know what I'm saying.

showed them the eternal vessel of manifestation. Dude, it meaning you're always going to have some kind of form, right right, So when they invoked the elements in ritual or magic, they always they were aligning their own consciousnesses with these eternal truths. So even if they didn't describe photons or molecules, they felt that fire's light traveled into the unseen, that water returned in new forms, that breath connected them to the cosmos. The elements were doorways. They weren't just tools

for survival they were sacred teachers. So the ancient mystics worked so well with the elements because they understood that the elements were living metaphors for spirit, energy and the eternal cycle of consciousness. Fucking Mike, drop on that one.

it and see them transmuted into light. You can also focus will in You can focus will into it and know that it will ripple into the unseen. Fire shows us magic in real time. Mmm.

bit more. So, dude, this is about a trip you the fuck out. So the water cycle keeps Earth's water recycling. So for billions of years, Earth has been cycling water through oceans, atmospheres, rivers, glaciers, and underground reservoirs. Most of this water is the same water that has always been here. The glass of water that you drink today may contain molecules once swallowed by a dinosaur, makes sense, right, But

the total amount has changed over time. So while the water cycle itself recycles what's already here, the total amount of water on Earth has not been fixed perfectly since the formation of Earth. So this is where it gets kind of strange. So some of the water has been lost to space. So some water, especially in the early Earth, was broken apart by solar radiation. The hydrogen atoms, being very light, escaped into space, and Mars likely lost most of its water this way. And Earth has lost some

but not all so and then conversely water gained. There has been some water that has been gained from space, so comets, asteroids, and icy body's delivered additional water, especially during the late heavy bombardment period about four billion years ago. This likely contributed a significant portion of Earth's current oceans. Interesting from four billion years ago, dude, and it's been recycled ever since. Yeah, I've heard that, actually that.

has fluctuated across deep time. We've gained some from space and lost some to space, but for the last few billion years it's been relatively stable, all right, so good to know. Yeah, yeah, And I'm going somewhere with this, all right. So there's also a hidden reservoir water stored in minerals deep within Earth's mantle. Some scientists believe that there could be as much or more water locked away inside the Earth as in all the surface oceans combined.

Underneath the ground. This is where you get like water witching and you know, with that kind of stuff. So this water can cycle up through volcanic activity and subduction. So it adds another layer of mystery to the total water question. Water shifts phases endlessly, whether it be liquid, vapor, or ice, but it remains h two ozer. It cycles through oceans, clouds, rivers, and bodies. It never dies, only transforms. Its hydrogen bonds make it the most mystical molecule in science.

So if you think about water, it's the most mystical of all of the elements. It never really dies, It only transforms. Ice becomes liquid, liquid becomes vapor, vapor becomes the cloud, the cloud becomes rain. Yet it's always still water. The essence never disappears, just the form of it. So now put that side by side with the soul or the spirit. Our physical bodies are just like one state

of being. But when they melt, in quotes death, the essence, the consciousness, the spirit doesn't vanish, it transitions into another form. Just like vapor is invisible but still water. The spirit might continue beyond the physical, unseen yet present. Mystics, alchemists, and even dow as philosophers often used water as a metaphor for the soul. So the Dow calls water the perfect image of the dow because it is adaptable, flowing yet eternal. Alchemy treated water as the prima materia, the

fundamental essence that transforms but never ceases. And even in Christianity, baptism symbolizes transformation through water, death of the old self, of the old self, rebirth into spirit. So your intuition maps onto a deep symbolic truth. Water's cycle mirrors the soul's journey. The human quote unquote, form is like ice, solid, temporary, fragile. Death is the melting Spirit is the vapor that rises into the new realms, and eventually it condenses again, perhaps reincarnation,

perhaps manifestation into another world. In this way, water is almost the panpsychist proof of immortality. By the way, we're gonna do a whole episode on panpsychism. It was something that we've been planning for a little while. Panpsychism is the idea of So we talk about pantheism, right that like that we are all essentially just one giant being. Panpsychism takes it a step farther and says that actually we're all just one mind, that there's nothing even beyond that.

All is yes, which actually makes a little bit more sense. So, in this way, water is almost the pan psychist proof of immortality. If nature itself preserves essence through endless transformation, why wouldn't consciousness, the deepest essence of all, follow the same long So all right, so when the Earth all right? So then I was like, all right, this all makes sense,

except for what about that water that escapes Earth? I want to know the symbolism of that, just to get real weird, right, all right, So when Earth loses water into space, it's water that never comes back into the cycle of the ocean, the clouds, or the rain. It drifts into the void, perhaps forever. In human terms, this could be compared to a spirit that doesn't return to

the earthly cycles of reincarnation. Instead of condensing back into matter like rebirth, it journeys outward into the greater cosmos. Some traditions might call this ascension the soul no longer tied to the wheel of life and death, or in Buddhism, samsara right, escaping the cycle of Samsara. Also in Buddhism it's also known as nirvana. So nirvana is just escaping the cycle of samsorrow and now you're just existing blissfully right. Shout out to Kurt Cobaine, but rp to a real one.

So in her Meticism, it's returning to the stars. In Christianity, it's the soul leaving this world to dwell in heaven. The water molecule drifting into space could be a metaphor for the spirit achieving liberation beyond the cycle. Whh I knew that there had to be something to that, you know, because I was like, if nature teaches us everything, then

what is that trying to teach us? Yep, exactly exactly, So, uh yeah, liberation beyond the cycle that would be you know the story of the water that escapes Earth in that sense, and it would make sense that most of the water stays or is it least, you know, reincarnated in another form like right, because I feel like, honestly, dude, I feel like the only way to escape the cycle is to become aware of the cycle at first, you

know what I'm saying. And if you don't know that there's a fucking cycle to all this, then you might just be like kind of you know, talk back into coming back again, right exactly.

cosmic field. That hydrogen might fuse into a in a distant star billions of years later, becoming part of new light, that spirit merging back into source, no longer individuated, but fully dissolved into the great fire of existence. M that's that eternal bliss. Yeah you know, yeah, nirvana. So the water remaining would be the spirit reincarnating. So meanwhile, most water stays here endlessly cycling. That's like most souls returning

to Earth again and again in different forms. This spirit, the spirit remains, but it's shape changes a wave now, a rain drop next, a cloud later, always the same essence, always moving through transformations. And I don't want to even say that, Like, I mean, obviously we're here, so like

we didn't figure it out last time. I don't want to say that because maybe we made the decision to just come back even though we had the opportunity, right, because let's just be honest, like we look at life as if it is such a drag, and oh, why do I got to keep on fucking doing it? You know? But also I would imagine that from that perspective of having the opportunity to come back or to move on, you probably like look back at reality and say, you

know what it was. Probably I don't think it was as bad as we thought it was, you know, And so maybe you want to just hop back on that fucking bike and see if you can figure it out a little bit more the next time, because it's just one giant mystery and nobody can just say there it is, figured it out, crack the code. Nobody like I'm the only one that's ever done it, Like, right, it's always going to be mysterious, And I think that's that way

on purpose, and so like I'm okay with it. If it wasn't mysterious, maybe we wouldn't keep on coming.

you know what I'm saying. We're consciousness is the thing that observes, right, and so that's something that I have and I'm observing I have that consciousness, but I'm right now in the expression or the the body of Shawn, right, And so us coming back doesn't necessarily mean the essence that was Shan, but the consciousness that observes through him,

you know what I'm saying. And so that is the reincarnation, the ability, not the ability, but the happening of consciousness being somewhat eternal in that sense, because it's just always been.

I look a lot into Jesus and the Bible and all that stuff, mainly because I work with Jacob and we talk about it just every single episode, and so it causes the wills to turn right. And so if we are to believe that the way that we look at Jesus, like in the gnostic kind of sense, right then in every single time he spoke, he always spoke in parable. He never meant anything literal. It was always

there's fucking levels to everything that he said. Right then I would have to imagine what would be the parable for saying he always references God as the Father and that he is the Son. Right, wouldn't that kind of be like the Father being your higher self and the Son being your human understanding, right, your.

Like almost look at like your highest self would be the source and everything else is just further emanations of the light in more denser, more physical terms. So the more denser physical version of you would be the Son would be Jesus, right, and the and the the uh, the source light emanation where everything comes from would be God or the Father. Right, So if every single if if consciousness precedes all that is physical, then wouldn't that be the Father or God?

beautiful cosmology. So not all spirits are bound to rebirth. Some eventually escapes escape Earth's quote unquote gravity of incarnation and return to the stars like the water drifting into the universe. So, if you're gonna look at it in a mystic kind of way, water is rebirth, immortality, and the soul's flow, baptism, Holy River's sacred wells. They all carried the truth that water is eternal. The ancients watched rainfall, rivers, flood, and ice melt and saw it in the mirror of

the spirit's journey. So a bowl of water becomes a mirror for scrying. Flowing water carries away what you release. Drinking blessed water imbibes intention. Water teaches us to flow, to cleanse, and to remember. Oh wow, a lot that you can learn from the elements. Heavy. That's heavy, Yeah, a little bit. All right, Now we're gonna get to

We're gonna touch on a couple more here. Uh So, now we're gonna touch on air just a little bit, and we're not gonna go like super deep into the rest of them, because I you know, I feel like we've been going on. This is one of the longer episodes I think we've done in a while. But I love it. You know, it needs time. So if we look at air, So the science of the air is that the air is in the atmosphere, its gases in motion. It's shaped by pressure gradients. It carries sound as a vibration.

It sustains life through breath, and without it, fire and water can't move as they do. Right In mysticism, air is the spirit, the breath and inspiration. So every culture connected breath with life force, the prana, the ruak. Words spoken into air becomes spells, prayers, curses, and blessings. So to work with air is to sing, to chant and to speak, to whistle to the wind, to burn incense, to let words carry intention into the unseen. Air reminds

us that the invisible is powerful. Yeah, buddy, nextly we have the Earth. Just to go back over it again. The science of the Earth would be Earth is a mineral, It's crystal, its lattice, quartz. Crystal vibrates when pressured. The earth hums with electromagnetic resonances, and soil recycles life into new life. So in mysticism, Earth is form foundation and the mother that holds us. Stones were altars, Mountains were gods.

Caves were wounds of rebirth, and the ancient saw that the ground itself is alive if you're looking at it through that view, which you can. The magic view is is that you take the salt which comes from earth. Salt is used for protection, stones are used for memory sigil. The sigils are buried in soil to grow your intention. Earth anchors. Earth anchors the spirit into matter. Oh that's a deep one. That's a deep because a man, that's a deep best cut. So to touch earth is to

remember our bodies home. Mm hmmm, our bodies home, the human body, the physical body.

is facing north, like you're supposed to sleep better. And there's all kinds of benefits to it because you're now like aligned with the I'm not sure if it's the electromagnetics or what it is, you know, the pole basically, yeah, because you are part of that system and so if you align with it, then now you're in that natural flow you know, of what the Earth is already doing.

because if you lay in the south. Now you have two different energies that are pulling from two different directions, you know, And it seems so so simple because you're like, what difference does it make if my head is at one side of the bed, which is six feet the other way compared to six feet closer. But it makes a difference.

I don't know if that's true. You know, obviously I can't experiment with that. My kids are a little more grown now, but I don't know. Maybe someone out there can can look into that for us.

just don't like calling it ether. But they're all looking for whatever that is, though it seems to be. It seems to be that they are all looking for the one thing that is unseen. We all know it's there at least at some level. Dude, dark figure that out. The dark energy is ninety nine point nine percent of all that is.

nobody would be scared of death. No, if you could literally see your divine spark or your divine flame or whatever it is that leaves our body, that goes out into the ether itself, and you could see that that spark or that flame or whatever the fuck that is that joins into the rest of all that is, and then even imagine, I mean, you would then even be able to see the fucking cycle of if or when that spark decides to come back again. Right yeah, dude, I mean that would be all you need to know.

like to be a human. It kind of is the same thing of like we're putting up our own veil if you really think about it, Like, yeah, like every single thing that it that it means to be a human, especially in modern day we the modern day modalities of what it means to be a human is the veil itself.

that reality is more connected than we know. Mm hmmm.

then we get into weather work. Okay, I wanna start manipulating the weather, all right? This is just gonna touch on it. It's not gonna go super deep, but these are certain things that you can learn to do eventually, once you start to really understand and work with the elements themselves, which is I think it's pretty damn cool. Yeah. So Shamans didn't control the weather in quotations, they aligned with it. Dances, drumming, and chance weren't random. They were

ways of entraining breadth and intention with the sky. Sometimes the rain came because they sensed its timing, sometimes because consciousness and atmosphere intertwined. In way science is only beginning to explore. Magical weather is not about domination but dialogue. The rain dance is not superstition. It's communication with living sky. Dude, let me tell you something I learned this. This was another inspiration on this show. So if you go back and you look at like the oh, what was it like,

the the Indian dancing for the rain? Right? Yeah, what is that called? There's a name for that. I think that's actually what it was called. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking about. But anyway, like the rain dance, did you know that Literally they're dancing and they're singing and the rhythm of which they were moving around.

They recently just decided to try and track the vibration that was coming off of them, right, And wouldn't you know, literally down to the Milla hurts, it was exactly aligned to the vibration of the hurts that was that would be needed if you were trying to invoke rain. So everything has a rhythm to it, right, Every single thing has a vibration of frequency and essence and energy. Right, it's just about trying to align with that so that maybe once you do align with it, it comes right. Okay,

that was the idea of the rain dance. So they hooked up these these people that were doing the rain dances with the drumming and the and the chanting and in the in the dancing and all that, and every single movement that came from the body. The energy that was created during said ritual is the vibration of rain itself. Oh shit, How the fuck did they know that.

This is just kind of a dabbling into nextly, which has been something that I've been wanted to talk about for forever because I watched Game of Thrones and I was like, I wonder if that's real. Turns out it is, okay, right, and that is shamanic flight.

and think and all this kind of shit. Right, Eventually, as the story unfolds, he understands that, like he can connect his consciousness to animals, okay, and now he can control said animal because he is jumping into he is now that consciousness of that raven, of that fucking wolf or whatever, right, and he can guide that animal as if he is that animal. Okay, Okay, So I thought, man, if that is something that's for real, we need to find out about it. So it is also called shamanic flight.

So around the world shaman's described leaving their bodies and writing with animals, whether it be eagles, jaguars, or even serpents. They called it soul flight. Science today shows the brain can extend itself, I'm sorry. Science today sh that the brain can extend its sense of self into other forms. Body schema experiments is one vr embodiment and lucid dreaming.

The shamanic journey may have been an ancient way of accessing that same potential, blending imagination with reality until boundaries dissolve, so to see through eagle's eyes, to fly above, to return with knowledge, it was both vision and truth. Imagine, dude, I've tried this before, like I've I've like just even within a meditation we just did a couple weeks ago where you know, it was one it was really cool.

I really enjoyed that one where basically like you can go in and you know, you can be the dolphin underwater, and then you transform into the eagle, and then you transform into the wolf that's running on the land, and just trying to imagine what it would be like, what would it feel like if you have the wind beneath your wings and you can sol and fly everywhere, and the wind's either going with you or it's going against you, and it's a lot easier to fly whenever you're you're

going with the winds, So you'd much rather just go in that pattern. Or if you're the wolf, right, like, imagine what it would be to just be galloping through the forest and you're going thirty forty fifty miles an hour or whatever it is, and you have just super awesome vision and all the crazy senses to where you're not worried about running into a tree or anything because you saw that tree from thirty yards away and you already planned for that move, you know, and like, yeah,

every single thing of what it would feel like. I think that imagining it is the first step. It would have to be.

drumming and trance. The military used coordinates and protocols. Both aimed at the same possibility that consciousness can be moved beyond the body and see from afar. Whether it be Egle flight or an RV session, the idea is the same. Mind is not confined to the skull, of course not. Dude. That's going to be a fun one.

He has like fifty followers. He just created it, right. I reached out to him. We're gonna try and get him on the show. There you go, dude, one of the ogs of remote dealings. Anyway, he gets into all of the science for it. Bro, Like he is, he sold. He knows that this ship is absolutely real. Right, it's no question.

the Elemental Toolkit. Each element has correspondences as well, so fire with courage transformation, and the South water with emotional or emotion purification, and the West air with intellect inspiration, and the East and the Earth with stability, fertility, and the North also there's ether with spirit, miracles, and the center magic works. Because these correspondences align and symbols with forces.

To light a candle, to pour water, to burn incense, to hold a stone, and to speak intention is to call the universe into harmony with your will.

certain doors opening at the perfect time. It's just like, man, it's almost like it's just it's conspiring for you when you really lock in and really put your mind and intention and energy into that goal. You know what I'm saying, It's like it just fucking just things start to.

a bridge between heaven and earth. The ancients practiced this, practiced this, and we practice we can practice it still. So just as Symbolic Studies was telling us, right, damn, I always forget his.

now everything flows around you. You're the Sun, right, and so you're gonna have the water over here, the fire over there, the air over there, the spirit above all right, right, And so if you're that and you're that magician that's standing in the middle, or if you're the person that created the pentagram, right, because all the pentagram is it is just representative. It's the penta, it's the five it's the five elements. So you have you know, your earth, wind, air, water, fire,

and fucking ether. Right. If you have all of those and you're standing in the center of that, then that means that all of those are flowing all around you and you have them at your use if you need. They are only it's only one point of the star over there away, the other ones, one point of the star over there away. It's all around you, so that you're at the center of all of it, as is the ether right right right. It's just so fascinating the

symbolism of it. And I think that if our mind works and symbols, of.

So it's tempting to imagine commanding storms, but true magic works with balance. Shamans asked for rain when needed, for winds to ease and never to harm. We too can pray for balance, for gentle rain, for cool air, for fertile ground, and always pair, always pair prayer with action, So conserve water, plant trees, care for the soil. Magic and stewardship must walk together. I agree with that. So if you want to put it into your daily elemental practice,

you don't need a grand ritual every day. Instead works simply by breathing. So these are these are things that you can do to work with the elements. These are the simplest ways that you can, you know, implement them into your daily practice. Right, So breathe ten deep breaths at sunrise for air. Okay, simple place bare feet on the ground for two minutes. For earth, simple enough, light a candle and set an intention for fire, wash your hands with gratitude for water, and then sit in silence

between them. For ether, these micropractices weave the elements back into your daily life and imagine all that can get done in ten minutes. Oh easy, dude, that's great. That's great. Pretty start your day like that.

And that's what this is all about. Making magic reel again, not by fantasy, but by remembering that every breath, every flame, every drop of water, every stone, every moment of silence is alive with power. So tonight, take one breath, one step, one spark, one sip, and one moment of stillness. The elements are not outside of you. They are you. And when you remember that, magic is no longer a story, it's life itself.

think that everything happens in divine timing. We'll get that, uh that gentleman on and talking about free masonry and all that fun jazz at at a later point. Interesting. I'm looking forward to it. Oh yeah, yeah dude. So Sean, I think we have a tarot card and you know what, let's uh, let's take a minute because we both have to shuffle now, yeah, because we're gonna go oracle and

tarot all right for it? All right? So, uh, you know what, We're gonna read the oracle from the Alice in Wonderland deck, right, Alice, it's the Alice the Wonderland Oracle, all right. So what we got was it's a card called keep your Temper Okay, and it shows Alice with the Seshire cat or just looks like a cat, but

I guess it could be the Seshire. It says, when we are thrown this way and that by life, uncertain of what will happen next, our tempers can begin to fray, we may become irritable, less patient than we would be when all is familiar and comfortable for any of us. To make our way through life, we must be wary

of our temper taking over our good sense. Remember, you will go farther when you harness your power and unleash it at the right time, which is, by the way, not right now, okay, interesting, which I think is a pretty power powerful message, right, especially if we're talking about the elements. You know, if you think about anger, I would definitely associate that with fire, right, And so you don't want to always be fire all the damn time and forcing your way into things that you don't need

to be. I mean, fire can be used for a lot of good things, but can be always, you know, also used for a lot of bad things. You know, can heat your home, but it can also burn your fucking host house down. Oh yeah, so you know you got to be able to contain the flame and not let it override yes man.

as receiving. The Queen of Wands is seated facing the viewer, displaying confidence rather than passivity. Her gaze is to the left, the direction of intuition, symbolic of her connection to water and feminine energy. This powerful combination is much like that of the magician, who channels the divine to manifest this reality, and the Queen of Wands has been historically referred to as the Witch of the Taro for this reason. In this case, the term which refers to her ability to

manifest and is not connected to a specific religion. The black cat by her side, known as the Witch is Familiar, echoes this aptly given nickname. So the elemental key combination so is water in fire. So water signifies the Queen's connection to love and emotions, while her place in the suit of wands connects her to fire, which represents passion

and action. So that's pretty interesting that we kind of just got a fire card for the uh for the oracle, and then get this one that's water and fire, which I think kind of it flowed perfectly into this. You know, you can't just be fired. Like you said.

So the upright key meanings would be creativity and ambition. Interesting, which makes sense. The creativity and the ambition. You think about water, I mean it can flow in whatever direction. It takes many different forms. It's like the most creative thing that there is the ambition being the fire, right, It's that thing that gets you going, like why are you getting up every morning? So yeah, the Queen of Wands is a combination of the water and the fire. Dude,

why not? And I think that that just shows the importance of not relying solely on one of the elements. I'm talking about the the symbolic elements, right, Like what does the fire represent within you? Right? It can get you out of a lot of situations, but you don't want to solely only be fire. Like anybody that's ever met somebody, you know, somebody that's all fired and you're like, dude, come.

It seems like wu wou to the beginner, but after a while, it seems like home.

properties to that, like the crackling of the wood. In your mind, you can say, Okay, the crackling of the wood is just the the energy that was the wood escaping, right, and so you could or you could say that that crackling of the wood is the transformation of the wood to ash, right, and so that's the sound of the transformation.

So you can take those sounds and say, okay, well, those crackling sounds are actually parts of myself that are parts that I don't like, you know what I mean, And so the fire is taking that and transforming it into something else, and that's the sound that you're you

know what I mean. So there's little things that you can do in your mind and apply that and accept it, you know, just like you would if you were to write down, you know, things that you are releasing and then you you know, you write it down or you burn it or whatever you do, and then for some reason it seems to work, like for the next few days, you start to feel like, oh, that's it's so you can't describe it, you know, but there's some aspect of

yourself that accept did that and took it on as reality.

to be part of that. And and and it took me a little while, and I was like almost like because you know that drumming is almost like a little intimidating a little bit, especially whenever you combine it with the fire, you know, like in a meditation, at least for me it was. And so I was like, all right, you know what, I'm looking at it almost from like a fear based kind of mentality, like it shouldn't be intimidating. It should just it's just another way of expressing itself.

If it's if everything is just one consciousness, then that fire is just another way of expressing said consciousness. Right, And so I was like, you know what, you know I'm gonna do. I'm just going to live. I'm just

going to surrender to it. And it made me think about the whole process of like birth and death and rebirth and all this other kind of stuff, and like, if everything is just one consciousness, then that means that the very consciousness that I am is the same consciousness of what that fire is, right, and so and it's and if it all is one consciousness, then I am that fire and that fire is me right in that sense, whether you look at it through all the different modalities

of you know, I was a fire in a past life or I will be a fire in a future life, maybe it's just all one thing. It's all happening right now and we're only just viewing it through this linear kind of modality, right, but really, in all actuality, it all is just one thing. So I was like, I'm going to see what it's like to be fire, you know,

like and just be it. And dude, I just realized that, like, of course fire is consciousness, Like of course it is, because if it wasn't consciousness, then it wouldn't do anything, you know, because in order for anything to be anything, and it must first be conscious, Like there is no such thing as physical anything preceding consciousness. Consciousness always comes first.

So that fire must be a concer. So whenever people are like staring into a flame, or staring into a fire or something like that, and they're they're they're put into a gaze, they're put into somewhat of a trance. That almost is our connection to that consciousness in a way,

if you really think about it. And so then, dude, it so strange because as soon as like that clicked in my mind, it was like, not only I wasn't at the bottom anymore, I wasn't the fire, you know, the logs with all the little the little charcoals and you know, all the little things right at the bottom. It was like I was rising up, like I was no longer the wood that was being burned. I was the I wasn't the fire that was even going through the wood. I was the fire that was coming up

and forming like the point of the fire. Right. And then I became like this little you know, little sparks fly up out of the fire right like a little amber that maybe you throw a piece of paper in there.

And then that little piece of paper. Just do you ever see like a piece of paper it floats up like a couple hundred feet in the air, and sometimes you're like, oh, man, I hope that don't start a fire, you know, but like, but it happens, right, and you you know, it could be paper, could be leaves, whatever's real lighting right, And dude, it was so strange. I

didn't even think about this. It just like happened. But I like, I floated up and I was just that one little piece of ember that was still slightly burning as it was like rising up from the heat of the fire. And all of a sudden, my my aspect,

my perspective of just being in the fire. It went from instead of being like I'm right here, I'm you know, like parallel with the fire, it went to I'm now I'm up here now, dude, and I'm looking down at the fire in to where I'm like I'm level with the sky and I'm looking down at the rest of physical reality. And it was so cool because it was like a transformative. It wasn't like I was here then,

I was just there. It was like I'm moving with it, and now my perspective of everything just changed because that's what it would do, right, And it was like it was almost like an eagles eye view of that fire that was once part of the log or part of the combustion, and and now it is mixing in with the rest of everything. No longer is it only contained as just fire. It is now rising up into the spirit, into the ether, you know. And I thought, I was like,

holy shit, man, that was so cool. But yeah, yeah, it's it's like, I don't know, I think the idea of like changing your perspective into a different form of conscious not a different form of consciousness, it's all consciousness anyway, but like changing your perspective. Yeah, dude, Like what a fun ride that is. And you know what, I feel like we should start trying to do that a little bit more, you know, like be the dolphin, be the leaf on the tree, or be the ant that's burrowing

into the ground, or you know what I mean. And very to the test.

consciousness continues. And so there might be energy that was me, but not it won't be me me, you know what I mean. It'll be the energy that is me, but it won't be the memories.

Now that information of you being that little charcoal in that fire, and maybe that light is still going on for forever, right whatever, but let's just say that it feels it out that night and you had to find another way to reincarnate into something because because that's just what consciousness and energy does, it has to go into something.

happened and everything that will happen. It's like that is stored within consciousness because consciousness was the thing that observed it in the first place. And so when you experience a past life, it's not necessarily your past life. It's consciousness, like the recording of consciousness itself.

consciousness or with the soul or whatever, you know. I heard somebody say this, it's like it's so strange because as a human we feel like we have so much anxiety because there's so many options and there's so many choices and you could do this or you can do that, and you don't really know what the right what what the right answer is wrong, what's the right direction or whatever? Right It's like and.

by whatever that is. That there isn't multiple directions that like, whenever you go deep enough inside of you, there is only one direction to go, and that is that that flowing force that makes it so easy that you don't even have to make a decision anymore because the right thing is the natural thing, is the natural flow of this reality. You don't even question if you go left or right because you're going off of intuition alone.

So of course there's many different ways that that turn could turn into this turn into that turn, and then eventually you get on the straight and narrow, right. I don't know, dude, It's just so fucking majestic in that sense. And that's what I've really come to just love about doing these episodes because I feel like, just even on a personal basis, I feel like I'm just broadening my own understanding of like, dude, who gives a shit about mortality? Like we exist forever, right man?

it wasn't time yet. And and that's what you hear like about a lot of suicide cases, is that that's why they always say that that, like I think, whatever you want, I'm not here to be judgmental. I don't

know the right answer. But like why they say that, it's though it's the one, like it's the unholiest of all sins is suicide is because there is ath and you took that away from yourself, right right, And that they say, I've heard this before, like with near death experiences of people that you know purposely overdoes or whatever it is, and then somebody shoots them up with narcan

and they're back again, right right. But in that moment that they knew that they were about to go, there was so much regret or so much regret because they knew that, like they saw the path of how their life was supposed to go, and they knew that it wasn't supposed to end right there, right Like it's all like it there is a plan for all of it.

And and it's not even that like somebody else made that plan for you mm hmm, Like I really believe that we're the ones that created the plan in the first place.

and we're learning a little bit. Like you learn a little something every time you watch a movie. You weren't even in that movie. How'd you learn something from it? You weren't there, But we do. And I think that's probably just.
