Love nature and its therapeutic effects?Join us on Zoom for a virtual Salon lecture on "Elementals" for Ipso Facto by Dr. James Rietveld THIS Thursday, April 17, 8 pm.Pay What You Wish: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1257612044479Elementals are mythic beings described in occult and alchemical works of the European Renaissance, particularly Paracelsus' 16th century "Philosophia Magna", drawing from older mythological and religious traditions (i.e. Greek mythology), with common threads in folklore, animism, and anthropomorphism. Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa also wrote of four classes of spirits corresponding to the four elements, and later Rosicrucian initiates used an alchemical substance to see elementals.Paracelsus described four catagories of elementals: gnomes, undines, sylphs, and salamanders, which correspond to the four elements of antiquity: earth, air, water, fire. The Elemental Kingdom contains such mythical creatures as fairies, goblins, gnomes and elves, leprechauns, tree people, brownies, undines, mermaids and sylphs.Elementals are made up of the ‘ethers’ and are ‘ethereal’ and therefore invisible to (most) of us.The task of Elementals and the Elemental kingdom is to look after the nature kingdom. Elementals (or Earth spirits) live among plants and animals.They are responsible for the therapeutic effects you feel when outdoors amongst nature, at the beach and sea, at lakes and rivers, in parks and nature reserves, national parks and bushland. Elemental spirits possess supernatural powers and are usually invisible to humans, living among the trees, rivers, plants, swamps, and mountains.They attach themselves to practically every natural thing. Earthly Elementals are the metaphysical; they are the cause of earthquakes, floods, gales, thunderstorms, and wildfires. More importantly, Earthly Elementals are responsible for creating, sustaining, and renewing life on Earth.This lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw" title="https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903</a> Dr. James Rietveld is a professor at CSU, Fullerton and Cal Poly Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology, Religion with a PHD from Claremont School of Religion, is author of two books, and can be seen on History channel's "Crazy Rich Ancients."#elementals #mythology #onlinetalk #onlinetalks #onlinelecture #salonlecture #salonlectures #drjamesrietveld #ipsofacto #ipsofactostore #ipsofactofullerton #magick #alchemy #occult #earthmagick #fairies #elves #gnomes #agrippa #animism #fourelements
