Universal Energy
Energy is more than the duality of “personal” (Internal) and “Universal” (External). Belief in this way limits the energy of What Is to a duality, or binary, form.
Energy is more than an “us versus them”, or “me versus the world” concept.
Energy is not confined to simply Time, Space or Dimension, and includes the concept of “both” and “neither”. Deep thoughts, right?
Energy is whatever it needs to be, when it needs to be, in order to assist in creating the cosmic balance of all things. We do not have to be Conscious of this when we begin our manifestation into Matter. Equilibrium. Impartiality. Correspondence. All aspects will eventually arrive for us as we continue our energetic practices and understanding.
BEGINNING CONCEPTS
As Practitioners begin to interact with Energy more and more on a personal level with words of Invocation or, the likes of Craft or Work in actions, we will often at first perceive that we do this interaction in one time and one space in everyday life. Some do attempt to avoid duality in their energetic terminology as words DO have power. The use of those words limit us to a “binary” or duality of energy and blocks our ability to see the many other facets that are actually here just beyond. Often they are being overlooked or ignored due to our preconceived notions, learned bad habits, or perceived blindness to them.
Why do that?
ENERGY FORM
In Magick and Medicine, Divine Energy often takes on the form of any Elemental Energy — at any time, aligning with our Will or Intent, or what is needed to be expressed at that time.
Until our perceptions are honed, Shadow healed, Unhealthy Ego checked, and other aspects of Self are recognized, we are not always conscious of what is energetically happening around us — including “warning signs”, until AFTER the action, inaction, or “incident” occurs.
For an example of how Divine or Universal Energy communicates through other beings such as Elementals, many believe or have Experienced, that the Elements will take on the “persona” of a concept in which the human mind can understand it such as:
Fire: Salamander
Air: Sylph
Water: Undine
Earth: Gnome
As humans, this is what we do, “rationalize”.
We categorize. We name. We appropriate inadvertently. Especially if our culture was colonized by another and we have lost the word or definition of what is occurring. The Knowledge was taken and kept from us.
Sometimes we even see faces where there are none. Or, we hear something and because the Sacred Knowledge was not shared with us, again, our brains try to rationalize and make whole to understand.
Energy too takes on a concept we can mentally understand while Working with it so that energy is perceived more easily.
ELEMENT WATER
To give an example, Practitioners often find it easier to picture in their Mind’s Eye the Element Water as it is formed in the movie The Abyss (1989), as seen above. Element Water takes on human aspects of a face and interacts with Practitioners as a “familiar” concept. The Element is assumed to always be holding that power for the “gate” of its energy for your Circle, for example. The reason most believe is because ALL Elemental energy has Unconditional Love and respect for all life, including ours.
MEANING OF A WORD
Do not confuse “unconditional” with “good”. Unconditional means simply that. A “not bound by any conditions” precept. There in turn, it operates without presumed malice and simply to keep energy moving, always moving, flowing. “Movement is life.” It will work in conjunction WITH YOUR EFFORTS.
Energy from Deity does the same.
What calls to you? Who calls to you? Are you going through a particular stage in life that calls for a Maiden entity form? A Hermit?
It may require the presence of Brighid. Or are we asking for safe passage of a loved one across the Veil from Charon? We may even need the blessing of Hekate. Perhaps we may also need Strength and masculine energy, such as that of Shango. Or Protection for our hearth, home or children and call upon Bes.
Maybe we have been locked into one practice for many years and something “new” is calling to us.
DEITY FORMS
All forms of Deity, or Energy, serve a purpose for our growth and evolution in the Experience of Spirit in Matter. At no time is one aspect of Energy “greater” or “better” than another when viewed through the lens of Uncondition.
It is personal to each of us and how we choose to interact with that Experience. Whatever aspect of Deity we are most comfortable with is the version that will help us most at our current evolutionary stage in the Universe. We just have to get out of our own ways. Its “vibration” or “frequency” of divine energy is what drives it to work with ALL THINGS, including you.
ALL things have energy and Vibrate or have Frequency.
As stated, Energy can exist in any Time, Space, or Dimension. Sometimes, “specific Times” hold more energy than others, but it does not make it “more”. It just vibrates on more of a human perceived frequency than say, a Stone Ally. That stated, all other Terran Life are in the area. Plant, Animal and Stone Allies alike.
ENERGY OF PLACE
Take another example, the Civil War, or a similar bloody battle. The land it was fought upon is not “barren” as Mother Earth can ALWAYS Heal. There are simply many accounts of perceived, or recognized human energy “stains” or “shades” (made with Free Will) or “shards” (made WITHOUT Free Will) from that Time. The energies Experienced are not necessarily related to where a battle took place, but the type of energy that was pulled in.
Energy stains are evidenced by dozens of stories. An example would be found around Kennesaw Mountain neighborhoods — where they are nowhere near battlefields. Things manifest that are from the energy pulled in during that battle. This energy was considered to be so strong that the energies left behind are of entities that continue to walk into homes of the living, appearing so vividly - the homeowners can describe them down to buttons on their uniforms for detectives.
As we continue to observe our place, we do not always “know” the story of that place, but we can “feel” it. What was on the land before we came? Some of us can receive an image in our mind’s eye of what happened. This occurs with a lot of psychic Practitioners who have honed in their clairs.
Let us think about a chapel for weddings for example. It too can have endless echoes of laughter and good “feelings” inside of it as “marriage” was all that it was used for. Perhaps it was the happiest day of one’s living time and to this place they return to Experience the Time Between. The transverse can also be true. If a marriage was forced or brutal, the bride or groom may return to the cathedral or church to seek sanctuary on that plane. It often brings them peace to their restlessness.
Remember Beginning Energy Work: Exercises I and II? How are those coming? Practice those one more time before we move on to the next task as we begin to hone our magicks a little.
Full Moon Magick
& Medicine
Across cultures, the full moon is associated with mystery, heightened energy, and a connection to the cosmos. It is the time for MANIFESTING what is desired or needed with your Works or in your life according to many who walk Western Esoteric Paths. Did your First Spell manifest already? Did you just have to “think” about it? Can you report a “positive result”? For many, the Full Moon represents a time of “completion”.
Considered to be of Feminine Energy by most, the full moon is associated with nourishment and Intuition. It is also a magnificent time for creativity and personal insight (to release that which no longer serves, in the sense of a “blockage”, charging crystals that are energized by moonlight, making moon water and whatever else call to us at the time!.
Full Moon Water. Have you?
Below you will find a story by our Georgia BHS Affiliate’s resident Kitchen Witch, Lady Robin.
Enjoy!
Lack of Duality
We begin studying Element(als this week. A duality of these are not typically seen despite their presentations of a “male” or “female” essence. They will appear as your Conscious Mind deems it. Each Element may be called upon for its strength or its Knowledge, which they will gladly share with you. It is according to how YOU, the Practitioner, feel about labeling what you are working with. There is no “right” or “wrong” way in the Universal Way.
Give what you expect to receive. If you desire a balanced interaction, be balanced.
Think About It
Have you worked with Elementals before? What kind of results did you accomplish? Do you have an altar designated or specifically made for the Elementals? Why or why not? What do you have, or give, as offering?

Element Water
As we all know, Earth’s surface is covered at around 70% with water. Only about three percent of Earth's water is fresh water. Of that, only about 1.2 percent can be immediately accessed as life sustaining drinking water; the rest is locked up in glaciers, ice caps, and permafrost, or buried deep in the ground.
The average adult is 60% water.
Water supports all life, Plant and Animal Ally alike.
There is no truer statement.
To practice Earth Magick, one is wisest to understand that which they are Working with. We begin with the Element Water. 🌊
A strong Practitioner understands more of each Element than what is typically held in the mundane mind of day to day life. They understand the power of Water, including it’s perceived “femininity”.
For some, it is through the visualization, or realization of the Undine. For others, the power is revealed in tides, rivers, oceans and storms. For yet even others, it is only when they cook, clean, or bathe that Water is connected with them. They Ground, Cleanse, support and sustain with it to the Highest Benefit of both the consumer and the Element.
The power of Water lies in understandings like the River Ratio of 1:3.14 which was discovered by an astute Cambridge professor when studying distances of rivers versus the area they cover… discovering even water moves in “circles of energy”.
WHAT WE KNOW
We have already been introduced to Water Magickally through a recent Attunement exercise on Jumatatu.
Do you recall?
How has Water seemed to you since?
Each time we sip a liquid, we are sipping what has passed through all of us and Earth at one point in time.
Water connects us all.
It is also a conduit for our Medicine and Magick.
This type of Magick, Earth Magick, Water Magick, Elemental Magick, demands a type of environmental consciousness, especially of our personal surroundings and how we treat it. Important to all of life on planet Earth, there is much power to call upon with it. Staying in tune with Water is likened to staying tuned to Self.
Water is utilized in Blessing, Clearing, Ritual, etc. Water is called upon to enhance Magicks such as those with relationships, memory and love. Water can take the shape of any container it is placed into or it will find the path of least resistance out of EVERYTHING.
