Episode 149: The Element of Spirit

In episode 149 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew discuss the element of Spirit. Also known as quintessence, aether, or the fifth element, Spirit completes the elemental pentagram alongside Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. In this conversation, Kristin and Kate discuss the Greek God Aether and the Cult of the Holy Spirit. They consider spirit snakes, altars, miracles, and dreams as a way to connect with the spirit world.Sources & Shoutouts:Episode 32: Water MagickEpisode 61: Wind, Feathers, & Bird LoreEpisode 66: Fire MagickEpisode 124: The Power of Threehttps://www.theoi.com/Protogenos/Aither.htmlHesiod’s Theogony“Aether: Primordial God of the Bright Upper Sky,” Rachel LockettThe Library of Esoterica’s Witchcraft "Developing Your Intuitive Senses with the Clairs," Kate Belew - Tamed WildCult of the Holy Spirit - Wikipedia“Under the Influence of the Holy Spirit,” Azoresguide.net The Four Elements of the Wise: Working with Magickal Power of Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Ivo Dominguez Jr. as quoted in Library of Esoterica’s WitchcraftJudika IllesRamesside dream-bookLuna Luna Magazine, Lisa Marie BasileJoin the Tamed Wild Coven! The Coven by Tamed Wild was created out of the desire for community.
