Notes from pages 5 and 6

To fully explore how spiritually interconnected we all are, we’ll begin with the alchemical lessons taught to us by the elements of air, fire, water, earth, and spirit.

  • Walking the Pentacle Path is like drawing a five-pointed star in a continuous clockwise-flowing series of equal lines and making regularly scheduled pit stops through the elemental and divine mysteries.

    • The mysteries are mapped to the Neopagan ritual cycle of eight solar holidays we call the Wheel of the Year

    • Elemental, lunar, and solar tides are celebrated as an interwoven pattern against the backdrop of the starry cosmos

  • Human beings are the embodied pentacle—as we engage in the praxis of Elemental Witchcraft, we successfully balance and align these energies in ourselves

    • Your power, the temple of divinity, control over your life, and the goddess you seek were never “out there”these have always been at the center of your being

if that which thou seekest, thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee. For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning; and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
— Valiente, The Charge of the Goddess
