“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.”

“The Tao of Chaos will provide methods and approaches to embrace chaos and its sister, the void, as means to discovering a deeper sense of who we are without resistance.”

“There is nothing more needy of criticism and worthless than general disinterest. He who does not journey does not return. He who does not have foreign experiences does not know how to organize his time and energies at home. The stay-at-home is like an archer painted on the wall: shooting continuously but never hitting anything.”
― Abraham Von Worms
