47 Elemental Beings: how to think about & work with them

Hi and welcome to a special solo-cast of Integrated Awakenings, we're tackling something quite niche in this one and will be talking about how one thinks about and interfaces with the elemental realms, or what shaman's would call the "lower realms". A lot of the beings often categorized here is left towards, occultist horror stories, or studied/viewed from a cultural lens instead of direct experience. In this episode maria expresses a direct take of why certain classes of elementals behave in certain ways, and how to have a positive respectful experience from them. If you want to consider a compassionate take on the supernatural and real empathy with what are usually called "lower" beings, then this is the episode for you.Covers:intro, maria's specific POVcommon POVs from occultists, literature against fae, snakes , "being punished"adjusting to the language to more elementary beings, offering substitutes, tira tirabeneficial relationship examples: fire pixiesthe difference of friends/allies vs servants/slaveslifetimes as not a person, as being elemental beings beneficial eg: rainwater, rainwatermermaid archetypes, feminine water elementals, attracting/polarizing certain spiritsmisunderstood earth duende, gremliny types, an example of contracted beingsmore examples: appeasing accidents in construction siteswind energies: being exposed to the elements----If you appreciate this kind of work send tips here: paypal ,You can support monthly here: patreon (this also has a library of game writing)linktr.ee/mariamison_ Hosted on Acast.
