Note by the Author

This book, Elemental Powers for Witches, is the companion for the 2017 book Spirit Conjuring for Witches and was written with this idea in mind. Some of the methodologies and information contained in Spirit Conjuring will dovetail with information presented in this book. What I wanted to do, though, was limit the amount of repetition between these two works and also to write them so that a person could purchase one or the other and find it complete and ready for use. Therefore, what I did was to write Elemental Powers only with the information needed to work with the energy and information models of magic. While combining the two books together and using rituals from either to build a more comprehensive system of magic is both expected and encouraged, it wont be necessary.

Some of the contents in Spirit Conjuring that wont be repeated in this work are associated with the topics of the Godhead Assumption, the Rose Ankh device and Vortex ritual, and the more extensive discussions about basic meditation practices and trance techniques. These subjects are more important with spirit conjuring than they are with magical energy workings.

Conversely, I will need to repeat the topics about the eight-node magic circle, the four spirals, and the visualization techniques that would be used to see energy fields. Other subjects that are very necessary are the techniques of grounding and centering using the ascending and descending waves, since dealing with latent energy in the body is important in both conjuring and energy workings. Additionally, going over the lunation cycle will be important in energy workings as they are in conjuring, so I will be repeating them in this book as well. What I have to repeat will be in a different context, so it is my hope that this will be enough to make these subjects unique instead of redundant.

What Are Magical Powers?

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy [science]

William Shakespeare,
Hamlet Act I, scene 5, 167168

A study of the ancient Witches of antiquity and even those who were infamously noted in the Witch trials during the Renaissance showed women who had magical powers. Yet those magical powers came not from their own abilities or devices but were gifted to them through divine genetics, or patronage with a god, a familiar spirit, or the Devil himself. These powers were considered supernatural and only supernatural beings could wield supernatural powers. Unless a Witch had a divine parent or two, she did not have any intrinsic power within herself. Until the modern age, the basic rule of thumb in Witchcraft was that she had to get them from some other source, such as a demigod, faery, or demon.
