Element Information of Air - by Reverend Lavender Dawn used with permission, (c) 2005

Ritual for Air

Air is the first element we will be working with in our explorations of elemental energy. Air is the element of the East; it represents new beginnings, changes, thoughts and ideas. Air is always moving; Air brings change. Air is the breath of life. Think about Air, what is means to you. Think about ways you can connect with Air Energy. How does connecting with Air make you feel? What is Air?

We will talk about Air for a few minutes so if you’re doing distance work, just think about your relationship with Air. We are building an Air altar with airy stuff on it, like feathers, ribbons, flags etc., you can do this too.

Go outside for a few minutes, (we’ll be going to the beach if it’s not pouring rain) Feel the Air on your skin. What direction is the wind blowing? What does it smell like? Feel the amount of moisture in the air, the temperature, what do these things tell you? Can you see animals or birds reacting to the air? People? How is air a part of them?

When we return from the beach, we’ll talk a bit about energy work.

My theory of energy is that energy is all around us. The theory of quantum physics agrees, all matter is changing into energy and all energy potentially changes into matter. Magical energy theory just takes this a step further into assuming that thought energy can affect matter and other forms of energy, not big of a leap if you realize that matter and energy are interconnected anyway.

Ok, so energy is inside us, how do we become aware of it, and how can we change it? Learning to sense certain centers of energy in your body is the first step to being able to move and change it. Close your eyes use your imagination to try to feel energy at the center of your body. Just above your navel, deep within your body, it may feel warm or cool, it may feel heavier or lighter. When you feel the energy make note of how it feels to you. Now try to make the energy grow, make it larger inside of you. Grow it larger and larger until it spills out from your fingers and toes, out the top of your head and through the soles of your feet. This is the feeling of your own energy. Move it around your body. Put it in your head, in your hands, now back into your center. This is the energy that we will use to connect to the Earth to ground and to each other to build a cone of power. Become familiar with how your own energy feels to you. Practice being aware of your energy at different times during the day, in the morning, afternoon and evening, bring your awareness inward at least twice a day.

So we are feeling our own energy right now. Let’s use this awareness to help us connect with the element of Air.

Guided Meditation for Realm of Air

Take a deep, deep breath. In and out. In and Out. Breath in more deeply than you ever have before, fill every cell in your lungs with Air. Breath out fully, blow away all your tension and your worries. Breathe in calm and breath out tension. In and out.

Bring your awareness to your diaphragm. Put your hand on it. Feel your breath going in and out. Think about the chemical exchange going on in your lungs. Carbon Dioxide for oxygen, oxygen for carbon dioxide, air for us air for plants a perfect exchange. Let every cell become charged with pure clean air. See it traveling all through your body, let air renew your life force.

Become aware of the air in the room, feel it moving, smell the incense. Let it press gently on you. Air is around us as it is inside of us. Let it blow in your mind. Let a light breeze push your thoughts around like tiny leaves. Your thoughts are lifted like autumn leaves into a spiraling wind and into the realm of air. All around us are sights and sounds of wind and air, leaves blowing, clouds forming, feathers floating, good smells wafting toward us on the breezes. We are caught up in the air and joining the dance. You are free and light, floating and falling, soaring and diving, dancing in the realm of air. Play here in this airy realm for a while.

Become aware of your body again. Feel the air on your skin, hear the sounds of the room, feel your body in your chair. Bring your thoughts back from the realm of air. Bring your energy back fully into your body. Feel it in your center. Open your eyes and sit quietly for a moment. Move slowly and eat something to bring you back into your body.

We will be sharing angel food cake and ginger ale for our airy feast.

After the Guided Med we will be charging a cord for cord magic. We will have our (unlit) candles in the center of the circle during the cord charging. I’m using a spool of gold cord that we will pass back and forth through and around the circle so everyone will be holding the cord while being connected with the others in the circle. I will cleanse the cord beforehand by smudging, you do whatever purification you like. As we hold the cord we will pass our fingers down the strand toward the center of the circle, stroking it. You can run the length through your fingers or tie one end to something and stroke it as well. We will chant “We are the weavers, We are the web. We are the flow and We are the ebb.” You can add the Goddess chant, “She changes everything She touches and Everything She touches changes.” if you like. Think of changes coming that will support your prosperity. Charge the cord with good will and desire for positive change. Keep images of plenty and goodwill in your mind as you chant. Try not to be too specific, you are letting the Universe bring you what is best for you, it’s important not to limit how and when it will come. We will stop and cut the cord giving people a piece to tie around their now charged candle. We will light the candles on our altars at home tonight and the next two nights, letting it burn down all the way on Wed the actual Full Moon. Three-day spells work really well for prosperity working during the waxing phase is especially powerful, expect a positive change in your money picture within a month.

I hope you enjoy our group working even your working at a distance. I can do an online ritual sometime for those who want to do it but right now I’m too busy. Let me know if you want to do an online ceremony and I’ll see about setting one up.
