“I believe that the four elements and the psychological handicaps that they create are the real secret behind the "four princes " described in The Abramelin.


Each of the fo ur ancient elements has a positive psycho­ logical potential as well .

The earth element can allow mechan­ical dexterity, and the enjoyment of physical affection.

Water can provide intuition. Air can provide logic and problem­ solving skill s.

Fire can produce the ability to make decisions,and carry through with them.

Even if you already experience these things in some degree or another, they are somewhat repressed by self- doubt and anxiety.

Once you have attained the Knowledge and Conversation of your Holy Guardian Angel, you will have the ability to be the master of all of these elements, and that will be the beginning of true magi­ cal ability.”
― Jason Augustus Newcomb, 21st Century Mage: Bring the Divine Down to Earth

“The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it’s only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse.”
― Terence McKenna

“I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.”
