Elemental Blessings

by Phronesus Disegno
 Age Group: Adult

May your energy thrive Feeling vibrant, alive Among all firey salamandrine flames Inspiration to create As you dare to tempt fate Bless your sacred will wherever it aims
May your imagination soar Traversing ever much more Among all airy sylphs you will find Through the vast astral plane Always knowledge to gain Bless the sacred expanse of your mind
May the place that you live Have serenity to give Among all earthy gnomes that may roam For your soul shining bright Each day and each night Bless the sacred place that you call home
May you feel all emotion Gliding gently the ocean Among all watery undines of the sea Introspection within Let your journey begin Bless your sacred love for all to see.
 Author's Notes: Did you know that the concept of elemental beings was based on the philosophy of someone named Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493-1541) ? I can't imagine how they ever got the name Philippus Aureolus Paracelsus from that, but the elemental beings are mentioned in the "Philosophy of Paracelsus". This was the guy who finally determined that illness was caused by external agents attacking the body rather than an internal imbalance of humors, the four fluids of the body whose relative proportions were thought in ancient and medieval physiology to determine a person's disposition and general health. Those fluids were blood, phlegm, choler, and black bile. I'm just glad that someone figured it out before I was born. ;-)
