commonly used today. paracelsus called the fire elementals salamanders, the water elementals undines, the air elementals sylphs, and the earth elementals gnomes. salamanders are explosive and quick in their movements, very bright, with extreme and unstable emotions. they can assume many forms, but their forms usually reflect the appearance of a flame. they favor the male form. for example, were a salamander to put on the appearance of a man, its hair would be wavy and red, its complexion flushed, its eyes like embers, its body slender and active, its touch hot and dry. since fire is associated with the will, salamanders tend to be very forceful and opinionated. they want their own way. they can best be employed in matters that involve the exercise of will power, such as conflicts with othe

t is necessary to supply their place by analogous actions, such as exposing oneself without fear in a conflagration, of crossing a gulf upon the trunk of a tree or upon a plank, or scaling a steep mountain during a storm, or getting away from a cascade, or from a dangerous whirlpool by swimming. the man who fears water will never reign over the undines; he who is afraid of fire cannot command the salamanders; as long as we are subject to dizziness we must leave the sylphs in peace, and not irritate the gnomes; for inferior spirits only obey a power that is proved to them by showing itself their master even in their own element. when we have acquired by boldness and practice this incontestable power, we may impose upon the elements the mandate (verbe) of our will, by special consecrations o

art. the nineteenth-century magus eliphas levi provided a method for the interrogation and government of elementary spirits, but he did not specify its source, and it was merely fragmentary. it is necessary, he claimed, in order to dominate these intelligences, to undergo the four trials of ancient initiation, and as these are unknown, their room must be supplied by similar tests. to approach the salamanders, therefore, one must expose himself in a burning house. to draw near the sylphs he must cross a precipice on a plank, or ascend a lofty mountain in a storm; and he who would win to the abode of the undines must plunge into a cascade or whirlpool. the air is exorcised by the sufflation of the four cardinal points, the recitation of the prayer of the sylphs, and by the following formula:

which the characters of the seven spirits must be carved with a magic awl. the salt and ashes of the incense must be separately consecrated. the prayer of the undines should follow. fire is exorcised by casting salt, incense, white resin, camphor, and sulphur therein, and by thrice pronouncing the three names of the genii of fire: michael, samael, and anael, and then by reciting the prayer of the salamanders. the earth is exorcised by the sprinkling of water, by breathing, by fire, and by the prayer of the gnomes. their signs are the hieroglyphs of the bull for the gnomes who are commanded with the magic sword; of the lion for the salamanders, who are commanded with the forked rod, or magic trident; of the eagle for the sylphs, who are ruled by the holy pentacles; and finally, of aquarius

ld then be repeated, the magus holding the pentacle of solomon in his hand and taking up by turns the sword, rod, and cup, this operation being preceded and terminated by the kabalistic sign of the cross. in order to subjugate an elementary spirit, the magus must be himself free of their besetting sins, thus a changeful person cannot rule the sylphs, nor a fickle one the undines, an angry man the salamanders, or a covetous one the gnomes (the formula for the evocation of spirits is given under necromancy) the white magician did not concern himself as a rule with such matters as the raising of demons, animal transformations, and the like, his whole desire being the exaltation of his spiritual nature, and the questions put by him to the spirits he evoked were all directed to that end. howeve

d willpower remains the decisive factor that is moving the universal elements to produce the desired effect with the help of the imagination. he can repeat the operations optionally until the success has been achieved. the magician can undertake these experiments for himself for the sake of self-influencing. there is another kind of self-influencing where the beings of the elements, the so-called salamanders, fairies, mermaids and gobbling execute the required effect with the help of the elements. i will publish the way of summoning forth these beings, making them visible and useful to the magician in my second work, the practice of magical evocation. 5. the fluid condensers any object can be influenced by any fluid, regardless of being loaded electrically, magnetically, with elements or a

according to paracelsus, the invisible, spiritual counterpart of visible nature (composed of the tenuous principles of the visible elements) is inhabited by a host of peculiar beings, to whom he has given the name elementals, and which have later been termed the nature spirits. paracelsus divided these people of the elements into four distinct groups, which he called gnomes, undines, sylphs, and salamanders. he taught that they were really living entities, many resembling human beings in shape, and inhabiting worlds of their own, unknown to man because his undeveloped senses were incapable of functioning beyond the limitations of the grosser elements. the civilizations of greece, rome, egypt, china, and india believed implicitly in satyrs, sprites, and goblins. they peopled the sea with m

to our earth environments, and are somewhat subject to disease. these creatures are thought to be incapable of spiritual development, but most of them are of a high moral character. concerning the elemental ethers in which the nature spirits exist, paracelsus wrote "they live in the four elements: the nymph in the element of water, the sylphes in that of the air, the pigmies in the earth, and the salamanders in fire. they are also called undin, sylvestres, gnomi, vulcani &c. each species moves only in the element to which it belongs, and neither of them can go out of its appropriate element, which is to them as the air is to us, or the water to fishes; and none of them can live in the element belonging to another class. to each elemental being the element in which it lives is transparent

ashes that comes into their presence. by specially prepared compounds of herbs and perfumes the philosophers of the ancient world manufactured many kinds of incense. when incense was burned, the vapors which arose were especially suitable as a medium for the expression of these elementals, who, by borrowing the ethereal effluvium from the incense smoke, were able to make their presence felt. the salamanders are as varied in their grouping and arrangement as either the undines or the gnomes. there are many families of them, differing in appearance, size, and dignity. sometimes the salamanders were visible as small balls of light. paracelsus says "salamanders have been seen in the shapes of fiery balls, or tongues of fire, running over the fields or peering in houses (philosophia occulta, t

s was the acthnici. these creatures appeared only as indistinct globes. they were supposed to float over water at night and occasionally to appear as forks of flame on the masts and rigging of ships (st. elmo's fire. the salamanders were the strongest and most powerful of the elementals, and had as their ruler a magnificent flaming spirit called djin, terrible and awe-inspiring in appearance. the salamanders were dangerous and the sages were warned to keep away from them, as the benefits derived from studying them were often not commensurate with the price paid. as the ancients associated heat with the south, this corner of creation was assigned to the salamanders as their drone, and they exerted special influence over all beings of fiery or tempestuous temperament. in both animals and men

nders were dangerous and the sages were warned to keep away from them, as the benefits derived from studying them were often not commensurate with the price paid. as the ancients associated heat with the south, this corner of creation was assigned to the salamanders as their drone, and they exerted special influence over all beings of fiery or tempestuous temperament. in both animals and men, the salamanders work through the emotional nature by means of the body heat, the liver, and the blood stream. without their assistance there would be no warmth. the sylphs while the sages said that the fourth class of elementals, or sylphs, lived in the element of air, they meant by this not the natural atmosphere of the earth, but the invisible, intangible, spiritual medium--an ethereal substance sim

as the spirits of the air. they are the highest of all the elementals, their native element being the highest in vibratory rate. they live hundreds of years, often attaining to a thousand years and never seeming to grow old. the leader of the sylphs is called paralda, who is said to dwell on the highest mountain of the earth. the female sylphs were called sylphids. it is believed that the sylphs, salamanders, and nymphs had much to do with the oracles of the ancients; that in fact they were the ones who spoke from the depths of the earth and from the air above. the sylphs sometimes assume human form, but apparently for only short periods of time. their size varies, but in the majority of cases they are no larger than human beings and often considerably smaller. it is said that the sylphs h

sent powers in the intelligent activity of the universe. general observations certain of the ancients, differing with paracelsus, shared the opinion that the elemental kingdoms were capable of waging war upon one another, and they recognized in the battlings of the elements disagreements among these kingdoms of nature spirits. when lightning struck a rock and splintered it, they believed that the salamanders were attacking the gnomes. as they could not attack one another on the plane of their own peculiar etheric essences, owing to the fact that there was no vibratory correspondence between the four ethers of which these kingdoms are composed, they had to attack through a common denominator, namely, the material substance of the physical universe over which they had a certain amount of pow

ems of nature's apparent inconsistencies by individualizing and personifying all its forces, crediting them with having temperaments not unlike the human and then expecting them to exhibit typical human inconsistencies. the four fixed signs of the zodiac were assigned to the four kingdoms of elementals. the gnomes were said to be of the nature of taurus; the undines, of the nature of scorpio; the salamanders exemplified the constitution of leo; while the sylphs manipulated the emanations of aquarius. the christian church gathered all the elemental entities together under the title of demon. this is a misnomer with far-reaching consequences, for to the average mind the word demon means an evil thing, and the nature spirits are essentially no more malevolent than are the minerals, plants, an

who are commanded with the sword; those of the lion for salamanders, who are commanded with the bifurcated rod or magic trident; those of the eagle for the sylphs, who are commanded by the holy pantacles; finally, those of the water-carrier for undines, who are commanded by the cup of libations. their 32 the ritual of transcendental magic respective sovereigns are gob for the gnomes, djin for the salamanders, paralda for the sylphs and nicksa for the undines. when an elementary spirit torments, or at least vexes, the inhabitants of this world, it must be conjured by air, water, fire and earth; by breathing, sprinkling, burning of perfumes; and by tracing on the ground the star of solomon and the sacred pentagram. these figures must be perfectly correct and drawn either with the charcoal of

completely to the official and militant church. this sign, made after this manner, should precede and terminate the conjuration of the four. to overcome and subjugate the elementary spirits, we must never yield to their characteristic defects. thus, a shallow and capricious mind will never rule the sylphs; an irresolute, cold and fickle nature will never master the undines; passion irritates the salamanders; and avaricious greed makes its slaves the sport of the conjuration of the four 33 gnomes. but we must be prompt and active, like the sylphs; pliant and attentive to images, like the undines; energetic and strong like the salamanders; laborious and patient, like the gnomes: in a word, we must overcome them in their strength without ever being overcome by their weaknesses. once we are w

spirits may be defined as spirits that dwell below the sphere of the moon. these include all earthly spirits of particular objects or places, such as spirits of woodlands, stones, trees, meadows, springs, rivers, buildings, and geographical regions. also classed as lower spirits are the spirits of the four lower elements, which may or may not have specific local habitations-the sylphs of air, the salamanders of fire, the undines of water, and the gnomes of earth. the infernal spirits, such as the demons of hell, who traditionally are supposed to dwell beneath the surface of the earth, are also lower spirits, as are the qlippoth or shells of kabbalistic doctrine. higher spirits are those that dwell in or above the sphere of the moon. they are associated with the spheres, successively, of th
