Receiving Oracle Skills by Initiation.
OR
How become instantly good with oracles due some occult supernatural ways.
Learning a more complex oracle, like the Tarot, Runes, I-Ching, etc. is something that demand study, practice, research in other related areas according with the oracle being studies, etc.
Just to make simple comment, I'm using more the Tarot as an example.
The first most people learn is a general meaning to each card, rune and some basic spreads to place the cards and have some kind of reply. Most of people don't do much more and only expect to be using their own natural intuition for that.
Even if the person have a gift of birth like vidence, this does not add so much. All they have are ideas or visions and will deal accordingly their life experience only to understand what they see.
So the next needed is to start a more former study about each card, not only the basic meanings, but some of the idea each card express and how it is related to the others. Is here people start to understand more about the real way the oracle works. This will add a lot to understand the ideas and how intuition may help too, and to get more complex understanding and relations amog
The following, is learning about the inner symbols of the cards, planets, astrological signs, numbers, elemental correspondences and so on.
This is just about technical aspects.
The other to develop is the own intuition capabilities, learn more about other areas to understand more about people, society, etc.
So this is a wide area to study for sure.
There's the possibility to increase that throught initiations. To access other levels and discover more areas and this way improve the reading capability.
For sure this is not something like "instant learning" nor "instant vidence" capabilities.
Many see initiation just as a rite to get a diploma, many may think this is an instant miracle way for new super-powers.
Initiation at basic levels, is just to become in contact with some kind of knowledge.
This is the human level.
But at the higher spiritual levels, the initiation is a process to receive a kind of key.
You must see the idea of "key" just as something that may connect you to something.
Like opening a door to you.
BUT, see, the door just is opened, you still need to enter by your legs and learn what is behind that point.
Get this? Is not an instant capability.
You will just receive the key, or a connection to a resource at the other realms.
If
you was working to prepare for it, for sure you will see results
faster, but again, this is why you already have done all the previous
needed work.
So you will enter there, entire new realms and possibilities and see by yourself to learn.
Some will have a lot to learn, others will be ready for that.
Anyways, they was in the merit to receive it despite how much practice.
Yes, even without so much practice some people may have the needed merit, just need more hard practice that often happens very fast.
I
may give to someone an intiation to an oracle or something else, but
still there are the need to work with it, practice and study. Before and
after.
This is why some people may receive such initiation and
have a jump on their skills: they was just working and was ready to
receive a better resource.
And no, no, no, do not even think to
ask for that. This is not something to buy too.
Yes, too often some people try and
they received only what they deserved... Sorry...
You can buy a diploma, but never the merit or real skills.
I may give such initiations by my own to the ones who deserved the merit. Never to the ones who asked. They was just fooled by themselves.
I give such initiations sometimes, when the disciple/student is really ready.
Some have tryed to be "opportunists" and received just a fake key pointing into their own darkness. Betrayers! They even received a "mystic name" from me. To these ones,, as they are vampires out of light, such names was just what they never had done and what they have to discover to deserve what they asked for. A bill for life at most.
I'm looking at both sides, Uhm?
Remember the phrase: "When te disciple is ready the master comes"?
Is this.
You can't ask for it.
It may happens to you someday if you keep walking and do your own homework.
And this can happens in two basic ways:
1) Meeting someone who will give the keys and will be an incredible experience.
2)
Astral initiation. Uhm something like at someday or night, you receive a
vision, or the sky opens up and you see a big flame or spirit/angel and
they will give it to you.
Yes, it really happens this way, I had some and will be only yours as you keep the work.
Some formal Orders do a nice work to give the keys to the ready ones . But even there you must do the work.
So, study, practice, take notes, improve yourself. Sometime when you are ready that will happens.
Mirror Gazing. As an oracle too, what you see?
Unkonow photo author.
Someone questioned: I sometimes find it difficult to be objective when we do personal readings. So, my question is: how do you ensure objectivity in personal readings? I usually write it down in the third person as if I were speaking to someone else. Other methods?
My Reply:
At any oracle, Tarot, Runes, etc. a reading to someone else or just for yourself must be objective.
Think on Meditation and Therapy.
Yes. something I found to be needed is therapy.
So is needed to be as most as possible like a third person, even about yourself.
Meditation will lead into yourself. And what you will find there? Ego, traumas, a lot of personal problems and even from past lives to deal with.
Well, you can become a hero and deal with all that alone.
But there are a lot of methods that help to learn faster and will help to deal and even cleanup all that mess.
A good therapy is a very valuable resource.
Many schools use that and yes, many cases are well resolved with psychologists.
Ok, have some patience with the psychologists too. :rofl
Once I got a female psychologist, and I commented to her some of my occult background. The result was funny: she had a real strong fear from me. She always used to keep at the opposite side of the room and each time she gave a reply, she used to say something like "I ask permission to all your degrees to suggest that... blah-blah-blah...". At third meeting she was presenting me some texts and books about the "crazy ones genious in history" and suggesting to introduce psychotropic drugs... LOL...
So I moved to another one, and just presented what I was in need to work, but no information about occult works. The guy did a fantastic specific work in just [b]two [/b]one hour meetings. Dot.
There are a lot of alternative therapies. As a sannyasin, I did a lot and my Master Osho told just this about, the need of cleaning, improving yourself and to save a lot of time.
Just to note, at the alternative therapies area, there are a lot of formal practices like the ancient Ayurvedic medicine, acupunture, Gurdjeff, etc, etc., that at many western countries still are not formally recognized, even with thousands years of practice.
And there are many workshops to work on specific areas of life, some last 2-3 days and even more, when people usually goes to some place and stay there doing an immersion to work that. For sure, the results vary a lot for each one accordingly your concioussness level and what you are working with.
Most of times, the good workshops with formal trained therapists do more in few days than you will get instead of working alone for a long time. Some of that workshops may be at easy levels while others may present workings where you will be really and deep faced with the possibility of dealing with deeper points.
In my specific case, I missed the opportunity to go to Poona in India while Osho was alive for the stupidest reason: a marriage and accepting due the wrong reasons the opinion of my ex-wife. Ok, I paid to learn that. But I never gave up and continued.
I learned that our personal development is above anything. No one will compensate for your work of self-evolution, just yourself.
I remember Osho used to say that when it comes to your own evolution, your personal work of consciousness, you must be selfish. No one will do it for you, only yourself. Ok, you can try to sell your soul, and lack the evolution. LOL...
This is that always helped a lot to keep my faith, despite all the problems and even at the most difficult times.
So I continued and I had the opportunity to be at a Ashran with my Master in the Andes mountains, an entire month each year for many times in the 90s, and that was an immersive experience of workshops one after other in the mountain and the woods. Each workshopt was 2-3 days of extreme experiences. The ones who was easy got nice results. Yes, always there are a lot of people who are just mystics and so easy. Others who went deep, have meet big results. What about learn to run in the woods, having to climb a mountain running, blindfolded and with instructors actually chasing you and really hard beating you with wood sticks? I say really serious spanking. No masochism, that guys was really great. Think about to run like that in the middle of large bushes full of thorns that hurts a lot. Yes, we did that at very risk places like ravins and pits. Add to this all the spiritual part. And in my case, the contact with spirits I started many times before. If you had read some of Castaneda works, is this I'm talking. Near same kind of teaching. That school had some very related works and this means, no choice to error. Glad we never had see even a broken leg even with all extreme risk. Only many scrapes and cuts on the skin. One teaching I have for myself was if choose to give up facing the problems may hurt more in the rest of your life. I learned to run where there was no way.
Before someone ask, I fully give thanks to the teachings I experienced and did by myself, but the schools become something very soft later, the instructors I knew have gone and today it appears more like a nice SPA resort for rich people after spiritual tourism. Still a nice place to visit and some of the current soft works can be interesting to who is not after a fashion life style.
When you take the Tarot for you, remember this is about having some better understanding about yourself.
This is what you will find in a personal reading. You.
Are you ready to look to yourself?
Something I disagree with others is about consider all posible card interpretations. As an oracle reader, you must develop your vision and have just one interpretation to each case.
For sure, this take time to learn, with practice and study.
But what is the right answer? Usually the first idea you get in your mind. Not what you get one second later.
You must be able to get the first impression, like a "flash" of light. That is the reply when working with any oracle.
But you is the one who have to accept what you see.
And trust me, by personal experience, this can be painfull sometimes, just because what the oracle sometime will point is not what you want.
To give an idea as an example too:
A practice I did in the past, is a shamanic method of self healing.
In this case, to heal your eyes if you use glasses.
I use it.
The practice is simple: think the source of the eyes health problems is just because you does not want to see something, nor accept something. In resume, our eyes troubles most often cames due our mind refuse to accept what is seen. This is the general idea.
So you have to compromise yourself and say: "I accept to see and I want to see all I don't want to see".
It's a daily practice. I removed my glasses more and more until I was for many months without wearing glasses.
BUT, see, I started to see a lot I was not wanting to see.
This means, you will see the world, the people, your life, any aspects.
And I became to suffer with that.
I already commented about not being masochist in another posts during personal healing practices nor at any therapy.
Well, after many months I was seeing too much about everything. My senses and visions about people and anything extended to a level I was really unaware to deal. I found a lot more behind all that I was not seeing. Most that was not important to solve nor desirable.
So I stopped with it. And yes, I'm kept fully aware from all that if needed.
Well, the Dalai Lama wear glasses, uhm?
Ok, this is one idea. You may use the oracle and ask to see.
This is why is a very good idea always to do a prayer and invoke a specific angel/spirit/deity to work with you on the reading.
This way you are not only on your knowledge as they will talk with you, develop your intuition.
But you have to ask to see and work to be able to accept what you see, no matters how much you dislike it.
Be sure my human part really hate many readings I do for myself.
One more reason sometimes I ask to others to do a reading for me, even beginners.
My human part need a check, no matters how good I know to be on my oracles and all the feedback I receive, still is my human part, and our mind can cheat us.
The lust for results.
This is one very important aspect about "personal readings": lust for results.
A good reply is when the oracle point a "no way" result.
Ok,
you must be able to accept the reply and what is shown. Or be stupid to
follow even when the oracle show a problem if you continue.
But there is something that can drive any one into nuts.
So, as I remember for now, there are at least two replies we may get from the oracle that we really dislike:
"Not yet".
"Wait. Things are going to change".
That is a shit!
And why?
You are doing all you can, using all teachings you received while working to change or make something happens.
And you deep need or want that to happens.
Here, the only I have to say is: have patience.
Oh shit!!!!
But sometimes is very hard to have patience when all kind of troubles are knocking at your door.
Or you are working for a long time to get something.
There's something to do?
Yes.
One thing I learned is to be humble and talk to others who are on the
path. The people who you know are already doing the work.
Remember, you are not alone.
May be some day you will be so high you will be be alone in the highest mountain.
And guess what? You won't be alone if you remember you can talk with the trees, the birds, the mountain himself.
They will talk with you too, just learn to listen.
Birds like to do gossip. This is what they are doing at the trees in the morning and at the eventide.
One more reason I have a place with food to the birds in my garden. They comment about everything they see in the town.
Pay attention to them. Is a way to learn their language.
But anyways, we are humans. I'm not so leveled up to just let any worry.
I survived to many hard events. But I'm human.
Glad I had people to talk with.
And always my full thanks to all who have helped, that is really priceless and never will be forgotten.
So to resume about your personal readings: work to cleanup your life history, develop your intuition, be ready to listen and as possible, get the first message and have a second view from someone else to compare with your results.
This will add power to your readings for other people too as you discover the best is to be clear with them about yourself.
If you are clear, no masks, you will be objective and people will discover you is a normal person too. I have the same problems most people have, at all areas, be sure. I just had a lot of experiences that become part of my practices and learning and I can share this without fear.
Discovering yourself is part of becoming true.
Note: This article talks about Love, but most of this material applies when the person got trapped due feelings like passion, lust, friendship and even any personal relationship, etc.
Sometimes as humans, we will fall in love, and that doesn't work.
Other times, we are very connected to friendship, and that doesn't work.
And more than this, sometimes we are in spiritual love with someone who we had faith.
All that are emotional aspects.
And the most know is the Love relationship between two people.
People think love is something like that nice fairy tales, meet one and be happy forever.
But life shows there are more than this and is easy to find millions of fantasy or poetic opinions about it.
Love is the main Universe Power, in practice, this energy is the source of the entire universe we know.
So human beings will find many ways of Love acting.
The Love of parents and their children. The love between brothers and friends.
The Love of Nature.
The Love of God as you perceive Him.
Etc.
And the Love two people have as partners, lovers. LOL...
Ok, just to remember most of the time people think Love means only a couple relationship.
So, to make it easy, what I will post now is almost the same in all those areas Ok?
My background about:
Too often we see therapeutics talking like they are something the best of all, the very Oooba-boobaa of the perfection with incredible successful lives. Most of the time we found they are not.
I started too early by my own effort to be conscious I'm not a super-hero, nor a super-scholar, nor a super-fashion-style-guy.
I'm only myself.
I have the same problems any normal people have, like love, sex, money, spirituality, bills to pay, a normal life.
Be sure I have suffered at the most extreme levels due to some ex-girlfriend, or an ex-friend, or someone I had admiration in any area, friends, and also including at spirituality, etc.
To be clear, I know what means to cry with the most strong pain in my body due to someone for a long time while I was trying to discover what to do. And this was more than once and for different reasons as in these areas.
Like any other text about the human life area, I have written for three decades I write about my own experience.
This is what I do. I'm not a scholar, no matter how much I study.
I like to say I'm a practitioner in magic, no matter how many studies I have about, and what I have to talk to people is about my own path and what I learned from others too. I say, just live personal experience.
I'm glad for the nice scholars who have the patience to collect all those materials and make it easier for all the other ones who are serious about learning and doing the needed work. They are priceless. So please, valuate your good authors, they do what few can do.
Love is Wonderful.
And a couple Love is the main inspiration for most books, music, inventions, whatever.
And to be in Love is just to be near Heaven in life.
Plus all those nice aspects like home, family, support at personal goals, friendship, etc.
But sometimes that does not last forever.
Someday people will learn some relationships that happen just for mutual learning.
I say, many relationships have just a reason to exist.
And the reason is mutual evolution.
But for sure, not all times we get that. Myself included (I'm a human, Ok?)
So may happens love can become a big pain. And I know it.
Some will fight to keep a comfort zone until all that has to be finished.
Love is not a game. Dot.
Be sure to finish can be very easy even for real Love.
Uhm, sorry, to say better, it appears to be easy.
This is what most self-help authors and a lot of fluffy people don't tell you.
I was into that area too, so and I learned a lot at newage in the 80-90s and a lot more from the many spiritual areas I was in these decades. Including the fluffy mystics.
Sorry, I was there, I did that too! LOL...
It's not cheap practice. Need a big self-Love to solve that. Self-love question.
And for most self-help authors this does not sell books. LOL...
So let's see in a wide way.
The following is a schematic of what I learned and observed happens.
To understand better, let's see how Love works in the experience I had and collectedand experienced.
Look at the previous draw.
When you enter a Love state, that is like a closed circle.
That is an entirely new realm.
There is a realm related only to yourself, where experience Love.
To be clear, in a couple, each one has his/her own circle. That's not a prison where both stay.
So the way how each one will leave that area is different.
So observe I pointed out three different exit door:
1) The No Love Direct Exit Door. This is simple. The person was never in Love, just had a nice time, but never had entered the Love realm. They just walk around for a time and leave.
2) The Exit by Pain Door. Accepting the pain and going into the center, to the other exit door.
3) The Exit By Love Door, when you free the other and let him/her go just by Love. (remember, true Love is freedom).
1) The No Love Direct Exit Door
The first is easy to get. The person just has some fun but never experienced Love.
Was just fun and is easy to let it behind.
In practice, the person never entered a Love realm.
This is why too often we talk with someone who does not understand why the other just left so easy.
But the following two other doors, are a personal experience.
See, if you are inside the circle, it's your circle. The other never had such one.
Following:
As I told you, each one in a relationship has his/her own realm, a personal circle. Both will share experiences, but each one still is unique about that.
To make it simple, let's continue talking about just one circle, but this for sure applies to each one accordingly to each one level of consciousness.
Be clear: Only you can work in your circle. You can't live another life. Your feelings and thoughts are your only.
While you are in that love realm, observe there are many levels, many experiences, as human life happens so we will experience all that.
This is what I draw that line moving all areas, as an example of how people act during the relationship and even after that.
We'll be moving from the high Love feelings level to the comfortable areas, where everything is Ok.
But when troubles happen, some will work to solve them and climb again to the high levels.
A desirable level at most is the "comfortable level" and up. Things are Ok, no dramas, just moving daily to care how much to do more or not. That's is more like being friends, but still Ok.
But others will just accept the accommodation level. That is when there are a lot of problems, just one or both chose to do nothing and accept to live a boring sad life. Some become near zombies. How many relationships we see this way around?
So even nice people sometimes will be caught at a very boring accommodation level. They forgot to care about their relationships. No watering, no care, nothing. There's nothing to make about as this only happens from inside.
If one does not want, sorry, the other can't do it by him.
And this how so many relationships are working around the world.
This is the meaning of the lines in the previous draw.
2) The Exit by Pain Door
Sometimes things go worse. And everything is falling.
And some people will do anything to avoid the pain exit door. They will have a long time of suffering, never doing a serious move to change that.
Remember the lines, when love finished, only suffering happens and people still refuse to let that realm.
The sad result is something like this:
All that became sadness, a hell in life and still people refuse to get the exit door due to fear of the suffering they already have!
Note here the Exit goes to a nice garden with a new path.
When It is Finished Get the Main Exit Door
Someday people realize love has gone and need to move on.
And how to go for it?
The most direct is to grown, become mature.
Emotions are strong, but still, you must be in control.
So the best of all is to move to the Pain Exit Door.
The Pain Exit Door is where strong suffering may happen.
In practice, not exactly suffering.
I like to call it "Pain Door", but it's not always so.
Why?
The Pain Exit door is reached only when you choose to feel really deep all the Love and find that you need to have the final cry. It's the burning of all the remaining feelings.
It can be the most painful point just because is hard to accept it.
The mind doesn't accept it.
But again, that will be really such a stronger pain?
To be sincere, NO!
Be sure, what real pain is to stay in the accommodation area, avoiding the pain.
That pain will be like a stick, but only once.
Sometimes you need to go to a doctor and receive medicine too. Many people dislike it, but it's needed.
What you have to do is choose the risk of the change.
This is the final decision.
Is the moment you really say to yourself it's time to move on!
It's the time when you learn you have to Love yourself first, to have a live, self-steam.
When you enter there, you will discover that door is like a Fire exit.
And as I told you, going into that door means you will be recalling all the Love you had, but for the last time.
That will be the final cry, the final suffering.
Like a Fire.
And that fire will free you.
So for such cases, cry all you can if you feel so, but accept and enter at that door.
The day you do this, you won't look back.
For sure, is nice to keep the good rememberings, but once you cut the love aspect, that will be just part of your life experience. Nice times, nothing more.
3) The Exit By Love Door
What is leave a relationship with Love?
Another popular quote: true love frees.
Sometimes we meet someone who has a mission, something to do.
So we have to free him/her to follow the path.
The Lie about Twin Souls
This is something a lot of romantic people had. About someone, the only one in the universe who is your perfect match.
Sorry, it's not so.
I don't mind what idea of a God you have. So think with me: may such a Powerful God be so cruel to make just only one person who is related to you on this entire planet?
There are hundreds and even thousands of twin souls to each human being on the planet.
Maybe you live in a very small village with few people. But just go to another place and fast you will discover how many more people are ready to meet with you!
Just to think, there are more than 2.5 million cities in the world. I'm sure you will find true love in most of them if you stay there for a time.
Uhm? So forget that stupid idea about just only one person in the entire world. That is a sin story created to make people have fear to love and keep at stagnation level.
Few people get what really twin souls are.
A twin soul is someone who has very similar levels of evolution and consciousness to you.
So most probably, the same way as you, he or she will also have goals in life.
For people in a simple life, that often is not a problem as the goals are more basic.
But the most you have evolution, self-development, and more at spiritual areas, such goals become really big to deal, long time tasks that will affect even the entire planet.
So how to match two people with so important works to do? Uhm?
Each one has too much to do so is near impossible they stay together except for concise moments, and that is not a relationship.
So here is a nice example, as when two real twin souls meet each other, the world appears to explode around in light and blessing shared with everyone.
When there's a real twin soul match, that is a giant event.
But they can't stay together, each one has a path.
So they give thanks to each other and leave the other free.
For life, both will know where the other is, but they know can't be together and will fully Love each other.
See here a complete different Exit Door at the center:
Still, the exit is at the center.
Is the same previous door at the center, but there's no pain.
Still, the center is the point of maximum Love.
This is what really happens when True Love frees the other.
They go at maximum Love level and become free to follow.
About Using Magic to Disconnect Emotionally From Someone
Is this possible?
Well, I may say yes and no.
Take the idea from the first circle. To disconnect what you need is to become conscious about what is happening, become more mature, and grow.
Once you got conscious that Exit Door will be or not of pain.
The same way magic can't create true Love, I think for now is not really possible to destroy a Love.
What is possible is to help the process about how to deal with that circle realm.
So the main aspect is to bring Light to the situation. Bring light inside your mind and make thoughts clear.
Or conjure Arcangel Anael (Haniel), from Venus's sphere and ask him to bring harmony and restore inner peace. Remember an angel will even put a lot of light onto it to make things clear so you can learn (if you are a stubborn one). Other times, the process will be easier for sure.
But even Light can be hard to deal with.
So, many works will put light on the situation, so you see what is really happening.
But many people won't like what they see, sorry.
Anyway, some suggestions:
Water to clean up your emotional bodies
A nice and simple shamanic approach is to drink water. I say to drink some 6-8 liters a day for some two weeks and then come back to a normal level (2-3 liters a day). Have one week to rest and do it again.
Water is related to emotions, so the first idea is to "wash" your feelings. The second idea is water is a kind of light, so you will put a light inside yourself to banish the dark aspects.
The cleanup by fire
This is something I have done using my witch cauldron to burn connections and any dark energies related to the person.
There are relations where links become very stronger and this is a way to work out it.
Also, the fire will bring light to the situation.
For sure I can't teach how I do this, not because is my job, just need magic practice to deal with the spirits being called for that.
But, you can do very simple work by yourself, and this is already is very popular.
Just make a fire, it can be simple as a candle or a bonfire. Do not call any spirit. Is just you and the cleansing power of fire.
Write the name of the person on a paper. In another paper write the feelings you do not want anymore in your life because of that person. You can add photos or personal objects of the person to remove that forever from your life. Take that in your hands, look it for the last time and throw it into the fire saying "Goodbye!" Make this your last goodbye.
Chakra Workings
If you already have worked for years with Chakra working techniques, there are some to help.
One is Atisha’s Heart Meditation. The idea is to use it with a minor change. The technique works to bring consciousness and change your mood.
Bring your awareness to your heart chakra.
(Here the change) With each in-breath, breathe all YOUR OWN suffering.
The heart chakra is a big fire of Love that will transmute that suffering into the light.
So with each out-breath, breathe out love and compassion.
Get this? Use your own heart fire to burn all the suffering into Universal Love energy.
Secondary effects are you may bring more light into the previous love you want to forget and will cry really a lot. On another side, this may help you to make the decision to go to the Pain Exit Door and become free.
This is a general all aspects transmutation meditation anyway.
Crystal Workings
Crystals are the pure energy of nature. They will help to clean up your energy. A decent size crystal is needed, so forget that cheap 0.5" size ones. I say big crystals or some with that rare extreme pure quality (usually 10x the price of others). A decent size Ruby can be useful due to its power on self-steam.
For sure, some common size crystals will work too. Something like a hand size is Ok to have near during your meditation works.
Working with Angelic or Demons Magic
Angels show what is happening and work to make you learn what you need to learn.
Again, light over the events so you can choose and make the move to leave that bad situation.
Many demons are just angels with another name or ancient deities. Just they may show what's happening, but some will help more to break the connection creating or just showing something to make the break happens.
Citing Jake Stratton-Kent: "a spirit good for creating a relationship may well help get over one too. With conjure magic looking sideways at the spirit's abilities is a useful knack."
What I think about most of the time, will help to bring light to the relationship so your mind will have the needed to make the choice and finish that.
Calming the mind
There are ways to make the mind calm. Even forgetting for a time and this can become a needed rest.
See, there are some works like a freeze spell to make someone "forget" something for a time.
This way, anything that still exists may go forgotten for a needed time.
The better of all
Be sure, until now the best I found is to know someone you have an interest in and have a new relationship.
Even a friend with who you become intimate.
Yes, friends have sex too or just have nice caress together. Even a good friend for fond kisses will do wonders for your heart chakra cleanup.
This does not mean a new love, just someone you like to be with, and this way, nature does her work cleaning up your soul.
It’s wonderful
a good talk with closer friends and the good colleagues we do in life, I
say, the ones you are often sharing experiences are always in that closer group
all of us have, the valuable ones who shared lives and sometimes help at our
needs and we are glad to help too always. Such ones are the ones who deserve
and have full merits, we may even have rare contact but they are priceless.
But not
everyone is in that list. Oh, you are one famous at you social group? Bullshit.
There are a lot of people who we not used to talk often, just some rare contact
here and there. And the ones we never talk.
And what’s
happens? Just someone you had rare contact or never talked or had a rare
message here and there, came at once claiming why you does not reply fast at
messenger and want just asking for free readings and guidance’s at first
messages in Facebook, Whatsapp, etc.
Anyone who
work on computer’s area or occultism learn fast that happens often. Some are
very rude like citing money is no important, spiritual work must be free and
some even want your personal phone number to call you in the mid of night! Usually
such ones who say money is not important have a lot and only want free work. Just
spiritual parasites or company’s opportunists.
Others try
a sweetie talk at first phrases but suddenly present their real intention
asking about an Ex-boyfriend or about how to deal with some complicated high
value business matter at their companies or whatever else. Uhm, a Us$ 12
million transaction is never the same as a personal question to deal. Hey?
Business talk is business, never but never a personal question and for sure not
the same price! I remember someone who really deserved six months with a bad broken
leg because that. I just refused to accept the energy they tried to put over
me, so that bounced back. For free? No ways! This one more reason we ask a bill
to work. If I accepted that cited, it would be my broken leg. Got this? We pay
together when accept a work. Dot.
As about most
of other topics you have to think about how much at least a psychologist or a
lawyer will bill you for many months. What change is the time we can solve
things, not miracles, but each area work in a distinct way. Moreover, that means
it is work. Dot.
Hey, can
you fix my company software computers problem for free? Hey! There are public
forums where people are voluntary, so do your homework and go there and be
respectful to wait for someone who have the time for a suggestion. As any
forum, that is voluntary work, learn to be respectful and never expect for a
miracle.
But if that
is a private work, one to one, then is easy to realize how often that often need
dozen hours just to get what the problem is. Plus a lot more of years of experience
to know how to deal with it. If that such ones acting like parasites does not
get this, would be better if they jump from a high cliff. Disclaimer: I’m not
promoting suicide, this is a suggestion to such ones just disappears and let
the good ones act.
To be
clear, in the spiritual aspect, suicide never but never is a good act. Better
to accept your suffering and work to solve it. At the other side things will be
very worse for a suicidal.
Ok, we know
life is not so sweet and there are predators and opportunists anywhere. So
there are the human predators and we have to learn to keep them at place.
So, back to
the business lunch or a friends meeting in a bar.
That is a lunch
or a bar time, to meet someone, have a good talk and so.
If you want
to talk about business, be clear about that. This means to be respectful. What
kind of work you expect to receive if you act like a parasite? Be sure that
will be very uncomfortable very fast but we know, opportunists do not pay a
fuck to be just asshats.
I had a lot
of such calls too. Like a sellers representative of a major computer supplier
just trying to get corporate info going to someone even asking for a free source
code copy of a Us$ hundreds thousands software I developed for clients who have
a giant debt with me. Yes, they try.
At the
other areas I work, things are not different.
Hey “buddy”,
I’m at city tomorrow so come meet us to that (a fashion high price) bar at nigh to
a party and to talk because I have something (a gift) to you (some people don’t know
how to use mail). Like the following article, the bar was 35 miles away, more than one
hour driving because traffic, I was expected to pay my bill and… glad to
Facebook that show “Mister X replied to N”… I saw messages at other profiles from
many other people at the same group like… “hey, very good HE will be there, I
have a lot to ask about my problems. He will came with the Tarot cards too?”
Oh, just
one more invite for a bar to do free readings? I was sure before anyways as I
have my vision, but just fuck that deserved what was coming. I tried to
comment more, but, that one as many others, are happy to buy luxury personal itens found to pay a reading too much. Uhm, that
wastoo much? Be sure many times that can be a fart in
the wind for the times coming but I won't be stupid to say that for free and receive the bad energy to myself. No way! Sorry, as cited sometimes serious business talk
means business talk.
Sorry, in
the past, I went to many places like a bar where I even did two dozens numerology
readings very specific just to promote my work. An idea from a press guy who I
love, but in practice, I had to pay my bill all the times and that never
resulted even a client. Zero. Same reasons to stop to do personal readings. Too often that became something like a gossip session. I work to people around the world so I can be very objective at what I'm doing. And when things are at software area, the place for that is at the office during daily work time.
The ones
who valuate what you do will be happy to pay you the same way they are ready to buy a nice car, a jewerly or something else.
There are the “sweeties”
women I found. They called me… Hey, let’s met at such (very good) restaurant (but I
would had to pay both bills…) because I like to talk about occultism... in practice
they had a problem with an Ex or something else. Just opportunists.
Going to a
nice example, I remember a client from another city long time ago, who became a
closer friend, she and her husband was directors of a company’s group and replied
me once as an offering I did for a discount due their time with me: “No discount. My
friends pay me”. She used to refuse discounts. Few companies do that. Wow! We
know you are doing more than full work, so keep full price! That is rare. And she
often pointed my work to other companies just because she was satisfied. A nice
person. Be sure I used to do anything for a better work to her company.
This
remember people who contact you and offer to pay with “references”. That’s the
most complete bullshit. Some few invited me to a bar, and even paid the bill. But
asked everything about any areas you can think related to their top business. Uhm,
I found better bill for my work and pay my drink.
I’m talking
about more than three decades of experiences just to be clear if someone got offended.
People who
does not respect you and does not respect your time and work NEVER are a good
reference. They are ready to pay for a plumber, the phone company, a fashion shoes, whatever. Not
for you.
Keep away
and save your time. As cited before, decent people and my friends know I have a
life and family too.
Just to
give real credits, as I learned to give thanks for the good and also the bad experiences. I had a lot of results from free work I did for “references”. Guess what? First, that does not paid any of my bills. Second, they
always pointed to more people (who had a lot of money too) and also wanting
free work. So adding to many others people experience who also know such famous
ones, that means nothing. Oh, are you famous and want anything for free? You
are just one more shit. Be sure such ones are just parasites and will add nothing and
even won’t accept if you cite their names as clients. Dot. The good ones are good seeds for a better harvest. The bad ones, uhm, they are just solid rock groud, nothing grew there.
So do me a
favor, before being rude with a professional, call the plumber to fix your old house
problems (materials included) and say him it must be free.
At this article,
Lyz Rian once more time show very well how important is self-respect as only the
ones who deserve you, will get you.
Here the
original article I’m commenting and I wish you read it and many of the others she posted.
Here I will talk some about working with the power of the four elements.
To the ancient Greek and most western traditions, there are four elements and they are the prime force in the nature.
They are Fire, Air, Earth and Water.
I used the word “oracle” instead of “divination” to suggest the idea about an oracle to be the active part and do the work while the reader get the results from it. Here, the reader is an observer and able to interact and get the information the oracle present.
For sure reading capabilities and previous oracle works are very desired, like developing your 3rd eye and intuition. Advanced oracle skills are highly desired like other previous training, like meditation and some knowledge of the nature in a shamanic view.
Also, I will use the words “elements” and “elementals” for the same purpose. For example, the salamanders or just “fire”.
I won’t enter at the aspects of working with the elemental’s Kings level nor at other higher spirits who are related to the elements too. Such practices are most related with the practices to work with spirits, their correspondences and areas of acting.
For sure it’s great to use the elemental oracles together with the spirits working. They add a powerful tool and different ways to develop your perception.
So, to the extents I choose for now, I will cite spirits as a part of the work if you choose to add it. But the focus is going for a direct elementals work.
If you choose to call first spirits to rule the operation, that is interesting too.
To add some study suggestions, in the Tarot, the Ace cards means the pure aspects of each elemental energy. Something interesting to study and their following manifestations among the cards. The lower arcana cards (1 to 10) are just the manifesting power of the elements, but accordingly with their numerological aspects too.
So, this is something more for your study about Numerology and also for Qabalah (Gematry). That is very related to the elementals in the ways they manifest their power in the world.
Agrippa is always a good resource for study too.
But while theory is very good to add information and knowledge, this is not an armchair work to be done at your library room.
Using the elements as oracle is a nature work. Remember this. Even at your temple room, you must be able to connect with nature forces.
If you have not some forests to go, even so you may have some park around, gardens, etc. When you open your eyes, you will discover every tree at the street is looking for you and wishing to be seen. The moment you discover this, you never will be alone again. Nature is all around us.
As nature forces, the Elements are the main part of life and have their own spirits too.
At the elemental levels, we found many living beings, the popular names are gnomes, fairies, undines, sylphs, etc. Each country have traditional names for them.
This work is about them. Yes, the fairies, sylphs, gnomes, undines, salamanders. They are the ones working to show you what they have to say.
There are also what is named Genius Loci, the spirits of each place. Frater Rufus Opus wrote some very good material about working with them at the Ritual Offerings book.
See, each place have its own spirits. See the eastern traditions about the Devas, or discovering a mountain or a river are also living beings.
In the book “Toilers of the Sea” from Victor Hugo, at the beginning, Gilliatt the main character, who was someone strange to the village people, comments some like “if the air and water are transparent, why not to be such transparent living ones there?” With time science have discovered many of them too. A bit of fantasy plus a lot of reality to discover. Glad too often science have just confirmed what occultists know for ages.
The basic idea for Element’s Oracles is first observe they are “life too”, so it is just something like a talk with them.
In other words, it is part of a relationship with the elements you are working with.
This is the best suggestion I can present you about working with an oracle: talk with it, create a respectful relationship with it. With time, this become mutual and you will discover another level of communication with them.
And think what you do for a relationship or to have a date. Uhm? Something so. Prepare and be respectful.
One first practice is to observe how they are beautiful and powerful.
The moment you opens up for the beauty in the nature, nature himself will opens up for you.
It’s a shamanic idea, one of the oldest source of all magic in the world. An interesting work about the shamanic sources of grimoires magick is presented by Aaron Leitch at “Secrets of the Magickal Grimoires”.
Many native traditional cultures name the elementals as relatives. Mother earth, brother wind, sister water, etc.
This is to recognize they are part of the wide nature as all of us are part of that.
One more reason to repeat: be respectful. This is a main rule we have learned in traditional magic, sorcery, whatever area. Be angels, daemons, nature spirits, whatever.
They share the same living planet and astral dimensions all of us are living.
And many of them are ready to be your friends someway too.
Got this?
A respectful approach and the true desire to learn and to be opened to receive their energies will do wonders.
This is also related to opening your spiritual eye, the 3rd eye vision. There are many ways for that for sure. This is just one more. To be receptive.
And remember this: To say sincere “thanks” it’s a master key too.
General warnings about working with elementals
As cited before, people too often think fairies and others are nice, sweet, anything so fluffy to deal with. Just because fantasy tales.
And what happens?
They put many gnomes and fairies’s images at home, burn incense and invite them as guests. Like a party.
And their houses appears like a mystic store at first days. But wait.
Elementals spirits are bi-dimensional beings. There are just so closer of our tri-dimensional world.
And they are like children without rules too.
Such people invite them at home and forget about. Soon things are broken or disappears.
And most people does not realize what is the real source of the troubles! Elementals playing at their houses.
Just children foolish. Think about as many children running at your house like crazy doing all foolish things without any care.
As any other spirit, elementals may be called for work and then dismissed.
Yes, be explicit to tell them to let the place and go back to their own area.
Even if you are doing this with that nice fairies dolls you found at some mystic store.
This is one more reason we talk to never let an unattended candle.
Get this? The elementals like to walk around. Remember this.
Safety procedures are always needed. Be careful.
Think about this: even if you someday become a master, your workers and disciples still won’t be at same level and you must have an eye on them.
So, if you already learned to invoke the Angels, Kings or any Daemons related to that elemental areas, you always can invoke them to be over and command the operation you are doing and to watch over the elementals beings you are calling to work with.
As told above just for cite, this is possible too and very interesting.
The idea of calling the pure elementals is also because you will be calling forces who are like children to work. But as any children, they have a long tongue when doing oracles. LOL…
In modern times, we have seen many images or such works. I do it sometimes too and some are vey nice.
The most easy to get are photos of fire.
But this is ruled under the same as for any magic working: you must ask permission to register what you are doing.
This is very important to remember. Be respectful!
Never, but never try to register images of any ritual or an elements oracle working without asking explicit permission. So you must be very alert to what kind of reply, some signal about the permission for doing that.
You are working with elementals and spirits, so be sure you will not be hidden trying to do such register. Ok?
Without an explicit permission, be with the traditional film cameras or a digital camera the results may vary just from registering nothing or just confuse images, going to a broken equipment and at some worst cases, you may receive a direct punch from the spirits who may got furious due the lack of discretion.
And a direct punch from such spirits can be anything, like some bad times doing cleanings and banishments going to even something simple, like a small stone jumping against your car’s front glass in the middle of the way. I saw even that. So do not mess with them.
Simple but effective
To be short, such elementals oracles are simple but need practice while you develop your skills.
As cited before, an elemental oracle is something just like talking with it and to observe to the replies.
But as any spirits working, just to repeat, you must be respectful.
So prepare your oracle with the needed care, do the best you can for each case.
Do the best you can each time.
Temporary needs happens to anyone for sure, just be clear to say and explain this when you open the oracle and show you have a serious compromise to do better as you can.
To be sincere with them will help to make a solid relationship.
And again, a true relationship is what you need to work with the elements oracles.
The Oracles
Repeating once more. You will talk with the elementals and this is working as you open your spiritual vision.
I will comment some about each one, adding more at some due personal preferences.
But we have the same basic working ideas for each element for sure.
And very important: each oracle will present the information a very different point of view.
So think on this: each element have a different time and way in time. The visions you will get are related to that point of view.
A Cauldron Ritual of Fire of mine.
The Fire Oracle
Probably the most popular.
The fire is beautiful and anyone have seen images of witches dancing nude around a fire. A bit of fantasy people have for sure.
The most popular fire oracle I have seen is just to lit a candle and gaze at it.
And too often, I see a lot of newage style comments about guided visualizations and comments about how the flame may move this or that way. The problem is in practice, you won’t be reading many pages of a guided instructions for something that may be simple. No way! In my opinion many of such “instructions” are something near a fantasy mystic delusional delirium.
At maximum, my suggestion is to read that to get some idea, sometime one or other useful phrase may be found as many of such texts are just based or a copy from some source. With some luck, you will find something new to use.
About using candles for a fire oracle, uhm, Ok, that will work.
May the flame dance or not, do some movements to get your attention.
We have many signals during rituals just coming from the candles. For sure they have a proper use.
But to be sincere, I’m not in love about to use a candle as a fire oracle. It’s so shy…
See, fire is a strong example of free power. Fire need space to manifest.
Just release the fire and you will see the destruction it may does.
Fire is action.
Do not mess with the fire.
However, for a good fire oracle in my personal opinion is needed a decent size fire.
Please, do not put fire at the entire area.
Just have a decent size fire to last for some 30 minutes or more so the elementals can enjoy the place and do their work.
You may do a bonfire at your backyard or in a safe place in the woods or use a cauldron for it with a cup of alcohol at the cauldron.
If you do not have a witch's iron cauldron, you can use even a cuisine pot, but remember this is just something temporary only.
Be respectful in preparing your work materials, so a cuisine pot can only be used for the time it takes until you to get a better tool, a real iron cauldron or a yard to make a decent campfire.
Remember, use what you can, the best of it. But if you expect for real development you must work to have a proper tool.
Well, that is about having a decent size fire.
Yes, if you want to do a call for the fire elementals, the first is to do a decent size fire.
For sure, does not burn a forest nor your house. Does not be fanatic.
Be sure a very big fire, like a forest or a building burning does not will be good to try to use as an oracle. That is a time when fire get out of control, so do not mess with it!
As a personal choice, I love to do a bonfire at backyard or at some place in nature.
Just think about that as the same you would do while in a camp.
Campfires are great places where friends meet, even got drunk and talk a lot of bullshit.
If you read again the previous phrase, you get one aspect of the fire elementals working: passion. Make people be hot and friendly with others. Campfires are great times for people meeting. Companies would do a lot more if they turn their office meetings into doing campfires with their executives. Not just a barbeque. I say a decent size fire to people be around. But that works also often expose secrets because the fire light and sometimes a lot of alcohol drinking. LOL…
What ancient warriors did while planning or preparing for a fight next day? A campfire. Uhm?
Just to cite a scene at movies, just see Kirk, McCoy and my beloved uncle Spock at the movie “Star Trek V The Final Frontier”. They traveled everywhere into the Galaxy in a starship. But just a campfire did wonders. How far does you have gone when something so near can do wonders? I add that part just to note they are in a campfire.
That are epic scenes anyways if you like Sci-Fi. But if you don't like Star Trek, sorry.
So what the idea with the oracle of fire?
Action.
Fire is flow.
Fire is passion.
Fire burn something to turn it into something else (air). Better to remember, smoke is related to the air. And the final result is the earth (ashes).
The fire will show aspects under the vision of “action”, movement. Events happening related to something.
Consecrate your fireplace as you choose and greeting the energies and spirits you may be or not asked to be present too.
A fire oracle is like a happy hour with friends sometimes.
During a bonfire or at the cauldron, I will be drinking a good wine and sharing with the evoked energies.
Let’s the fire become present and flow as it become hotter and moving. Take your time.
If you want, you can invite the fire elementals to present themselves if they want. See this, invite but allow them to choose if they want to be present.
Sometimes the salamanders will appears dancing in the fire and they are very nice flashing there.
It’s interesting to observe as sometimes they will be really present and dance in the flames.
All that is moving. And that is a party.
As you get the fire to be really live, look to the fire and ask it to open for you the oracle of the flames.
Be explicit. Something like:
“I invoke the oracle of flames. May this flames open the gates so I can see all occult things and understand what I want about N.”
Where “N” is the area, person or topic you want to know.
Then just observe the fire and let your mind to be opened to any ideas you got. Sometimes the flames may do some move that catch your attention. Other times, that will flash like images into your head as you develop your intuition and 3rd eye vision.
Watch and allow that to flow.
And keep relaxed. This is not like scrying with fixed eyes, but more like just to pay attention to any scenes the fire will present you and the related ideas you got in your mind.
As I told, you may be even drinking in a feast with the fire.
The oracle images will flash when present something, with time you will learn to pay attention to some specific scene or idea and get the messages you want.
As the images flash, you will remember the fire is action and passion moving, so the replies are in the point of view of fast business, fast action. Too often very direct.
At the end, give thanks for their presence and dismiss them.
Another popular oracle as water can be used in many ways.
You may observe the water in a big bowl, a small calm part of a river or lake or a water spring in the middle of some land area. A timid waterfall in a stream can be fantastic if you found a place in nature where the elementals spirits live.
Small areas are better and the water must be calm, except in the case of the example of a very small and calm waterfall. I say, that really small ones, just few foot height and very calm places.
As the fire, water can also become out of control.
A flood for sure is not good to try an oracle reading. Same for the places where the rivers are breaking the earth fast.
And no, is not a good idea to try this practice while you are doing a rafting in the Colorado River.
To be clear, as I did rafting before, is possible to talk with the river and receive some replies during the action, but it’s not the same as an oracle. The river will be talking while a challenge for your senses, it is more a warrior practice to learn to use.
Water is beautiful, fluid.
Water is a direct connection with your emotions.
The water oracle will show you how things appears under the emotional aspects.
The images you will get are very emotional most of times.
While fire is related with action, passion, water is related with feelings.
The fire show just action. Water will show some ideas of the “why” and “for what” just because that is related with how you feel about.
Choose the place, seat to observe.
When you ask to open the oracle of the water, you are also inviting your own emotional areas to be receptive.
How a stream flow? The water flow to reach again a calm state. This is what of to expect of the oracle. A seeking calm point of view. Even more meditative.
When a river run fast or jump in a big fall, that are done to reach a calm point again. And someday, find the sea. So the replies have a different point of view, just from someone who is watching at some distance and present a wide scenario.
Think about this: you feel your head and your foot at same time Ok? The same way, a river at source also is connected with the point where he meet the sea. Uhm? It’s a wide sense.
So between the “why” and the “for what” points, remember the river may have calms and some fast places, waterfalls, etc. happening.
Think as the water from the ocean may take some few days and weeks from the sea to the clouds and rain again into earth. That will start the cycle again to run into the sea. A giant river like the Amazon means just many weeks from the highest mountain until reach the sea again.
And here is interesting to observe and remember. There are the fast times in the life cycle of the water. From the ocean to clouds and back to the earth again in the top of the mountains.
There are rapids, falls and even some swamps where the water get trapped.
This is very related to emotions as cited before.
So the “calm” replies may also add this aspect.
Emotions can vary from happiness, to calm flow, stagnation areas and even to fear.
So even fear is a “calm” aspect of feelings. The most fear, the most vulnerable.
Fear can make someone become rigid.
How is the water in the poles or in the most high mountains? It got frozen. Ice. But even that ice someday will become fluid again. That water just choose to stay for a while, or better, a long time at such places and receive more of the energy such places have. Just think why so many people fall in love to climb and stay there, the high mountains, or at the poles. Emotions got so calm and can be observed at same time others aspects can be worked. Like observe large horizons.
To learn what fear is can make a warrior to become a hero. To go over the fear and act.
But also, fear help to the warrior does not act like a stupid suicidal.
Such images can be very deep at your most ancient memories and show things in a way you will fear or even fall in love with.
At the end, give thanks for their presence and dismiss them.
The water you used you can just throw it at the earth, like a garden to release the energy.
This as the earth, can be a very rare oracle to work.
The Air will work at first on your mind. The ideas level.
What your mind is doing just now?
Stop for a moment and observe what’s really happening inside your head now.
How many different thoughts you can observe at once?
The mind area too often is very busy with a lot of events and ideas and remembering all that is happening at once.
At same time you are doing something, remembering others, plus a lot of images from current and even past events.
Just now your mind is working with this text, but also everything related with the room you are, feelings, body sensations, any sounds sources AND due this, presenting information from your memory related to all that.
Add to this, all subconscious level workings.
Your mind is like a crazy machine doing thousands of works at same time.
Every image, sound, body sensation is being compared to everything your memory have registered searching for some pattern or related topic.
You just look to something before and that brings into your current thoughts an older event?
But that also happens to something you saw times ago. Your mind took that and keep comparing, searching it at the memory files.
Is very common someone to “remember” an event due something that happened times before. In practice, your mind had been working all this time trying to do a match.
Have you think why that happened? Simple, just because the most simple thing you see, listen or think, even a smell, is compared to everything in you memory. That means, millions of events happening and you was not aware. And that can take a long time.
Got worried because all that? No worries, its just what a brain do. And this is a reason we suggest to learn some practice like meditation. To improve your brain and also your soul.
So how to get some oracle in the air?
The air is invisible!
Well, meditation practices works first to make you became just an observer. It’s not just to calm your mind, but to keep aware of that and let your soul fly free. Just to say so.
The replies the air oracle present can appears to be disconnected of other aspects, just appears something blowing in the wind.
The air elements at first are invisible. Or not. Just remember the sky appear to be blue because the sun light.
You can feel the air due the light or because the wind.
So as the other elements, strong air movements are not safe for trying a reading. Like a hurricane.
But the wind is fresh. Like a calm river or lake.
But when there’s no wind, how to get it?
The oracle of the air is something to be worked usually at open areas.
And better near the nature.
So if you are among oppressive buildings in the city, or a closed room there are few opportunity to the elemental forces be acting without restriction.
They will be there anyway, but that also means you must be really able to get that.
So open areas, even a calm street in town area will be better.
This oracle is a bit different to open.
You may be seat in a nice place in the woods, meditating, or in the beach, or seated in you house’s garden.
This is a best condition. A calm mind and a receptive state.
But due the initiations I had, I observed it will work also anywhere, I say even walking in the street and on need of some information. But see, this is due practical training and even so, not all times a so good work condition and hard to get what is just your mind or a proper reply from the air.
As any oracle, the best is to take a time to do the reading you need.
Have a proper place and time.
As before, use your voice and command to the oracle of the air be opened for you.
The images you will get are direct into your mind level. Like ideas coming from somewhere.
Remember as commented, our brain can even be a crazy machine. You need to learn to calm your mind and be able to separate what is coming outside from your own work.
But as the fire and the water have different ways to present to you, as light or the wet emotional images, the same way the air have some aspects to observe.
The first, is moving. The wind.
A good idea is to have near something to observe, like trees, plants or even the smoke from a source. Their movements may have a meaning during the oracle of the air.
Here you will not be talking with the trees not the fire. Just using part of that to observe what the air is doing.
And for sure, the best of all, is feeling the wind around you.
When you have the pleasure of the wind, you will note how the wind is touching you, gentle or not, trying to move your head to look to some point and get an image from that place.
When you have wind, this happens, he can be like a lover hand touching you and suggesting ideas and some will again, just be flashing into your head.
Sometimes you may even note the wind touching you, but everything around is quiet. No one leaf in the trees are moving. This happened using smoke in a bonfire. I was very closer feeling the wind, but the smoke was straight as if nothing was happening.
Another was a personal reading during a Sabbath, using the wind for this, the person just in front of me had her hair and clothes moving but I felt nothing touching me. The wind was showing what was behind her thoughts and she was forced to confirm everything I told.
Yes, the elements oracles can be used for live readings when you get it.
There are more working with the air oracles.
There are the wind. But if not, you may feel changes in temperature, heat or cold that do not match the place in anyway. Sometimes on sunny days the hot air moving up makes visible shadows on the ground, like cement, rock or sand, as if they were waves.Note this, too.
Also may happens oppressive conditions, like to be hard to breath.
I cited to dislike using candles for oracles, but once I asked the air oracle and a candle suddenly seemed to have been crushed, the flame almost erased as I asked for confirmation of the mental image I had, then suddenly the candle shone with the air as a confirm. This was a try working with this oracle inside my temple room. Another reason I talk about drastic changes in temperature. But such things happens at open places. Another was in a mountain, a very cold place and the air became hot in a way I had related messages. .
Such changes are physical to show the air is there, but such have to be related to some images or intuition you have at same time.
To say soo, such changes are just like air elementals spirits foolish. They are invisible, but they like to say they are near too.
Be sure to give thanks to the air elements. They are listening everywhere.
At the end, give thanks for their presence and dismiss them.
The earth is the most brute and the most unknown oracle.
It's the oracle of the big rocks.
It will put you on the ground. How things in the planet was created and where they go?
This oracle often works on large period’s points of view. Not just immediate needs, but the teachings about your path in life, getting wisdom, understand how things work in a wide time lapse.
While the other elements can have short life cycles, the earth may often means hundred thousand years or even millions of years for just something happens.
This is the oracle of the big rocks.
But few times to be practiced with the small ones.
For sure crystals, or just some mirrors done with a piece of stone are great. But that are used most as divination tool.
With a great luck, one may find a not so big one, uhm, 2-3 foot size to become an oracle. But such one are rare and must be very special, taken direct from the ground and be untouched before. Still, will be like a baby rock.
For a real oracle purpose, the best are the big ones at distant nature places and as possible, untouched or with rare contact with people so they keep their pure aspects.
Rocks need a long rest time when are disturbed. The good sculptors know they should let the stone rest in nature for a long time when they are moved or worked.
Do not mess with the old ones.
To find the ancient nobles, one must go into the mountains, deserts, cliffs or rocky coastlines.
Such ones are often the working place for initiation rites on ancient paths.
There are places with some sacred rocks who receive offerings due their power. People does not go there to do an offering for a spirit, but for the rock, or even a mountain.
As any other living being, some rocks have more power than others do.
Some ancient traditional groups had some simple practices, like to be closer a specific big rock for a long time. Like for mystic warrior challenges, standing under the sun, without water as long as possible. Or just to be under that big rock without any protection for rain, wind or cold. They are there to listen the rock and receive their ancient wisdom.
The rock is part of that and the seeker is going to get connected with its energy.
To be so closer such big elements is to face the planet most oldest beings.
Sometimes we have some big problem in life like bad memories and regrets. The type we talk about with other people sometimes. A hurt or sadness that needs to be forgotten and this can be very difficult.
If one goes to talk about that at the hair stylist, that's just gossip and receive more gossip in return. Not so much different with most people. They will reply just telling you about their problems and nothing got solved, but just the opposite, that feed the problem with more bad energy.
However, to talk to one of that older big ones rocks, for a last time is a final cut. They will hear what you have to say but contrary to people, they will return only the pure energy of nature, of growth. This same practice also work with big older trees. They are elder ones.
Telling your sorrows to these great natural beings is a way to end a cycle and leave behind something that bothers you greatly.
This is an aspect of the earth oracle. They listen too.
Get this? Any oracle in practice is a two way communication. They listen and reply.
The earth oracle is most suitable for a spiritual seeker. A warrior.
As the other oracles, it may be approached with great respect.
The rock may dislike you and fall over your head. Or make you have a bad step following, and you will jump in a cliff.
To found one, you need to walk in the woods, a coastline, a riverside or at the desert, wherever until meet a proper place. As told before, at distant places.
The work you have to be there is part of your prepare to ask for the oracle.
Seat or stand in front of the rock and stay quiet all the needed time to observe until the rock pay attention to you.
Remember, they have a long life, far away from your common idea about life, before any known modern civilization. Yes, there was many others before. So they don’t pay too much attention to fast events. That can need a long time until you have a message, a vision on the rock surface or even feeling to be moved to see another reality level.
May be you have the opportunity to found a smaller one, as cited before, 2-3 foot size, or even bigger, to adopt and let it rest undisturbed at your backyard for months and years so the stone relax and become an antenna for the inner planet energy. That’s will be priceless.
When you finish, thanks for their presence and dismiss them.

Some final notes
If you have the opportunity of proper nature places for such workings, sometimes you will observe more than one element to be very near.
For example, you may find a big rock just closer a river. This way, you can invoke the energy of the water to expand your inner vision, and then ask the rock to open the oracle for you. This way you may flow better into the visions of the rock.
Doing the opposite, first asking to the rock to support you and then invoking the oracle of the water will help you to have a ground and not be caught into some emotional aspects that sometimes happens.
Same when you have a place to work with a bonfire, be near the water of the rocks.
Or just the wind you will find moving more near big rock areas or near a river.
Always at finish give thanks and dismiss the energies you invoked.
Always remember for physical safety.
If you are aside a cliff, you may be sure you are grounded before working with the wind.
If you choose the water, also be sure you are fixed at place as even some strange or even stupid accidents may happens if you enter at the water. For example, is not good idea to enter in a lake during the oracle even if the elementals invite you.
Never let an unattended candle. If you finish the work, most of times is Ok to finish the fire.
In the case of a bonfire, you must be sure it is finished and is safe to leave the area. Be careful! Do not start a forest fire!
Do not let any human garbage at the place. That will be very disrespectful to the spirits you called before.
To improve your skills, walk at the nature always as you can.
You will discover nature grow anywhere even in a city.
Learn to be quiet and just observe this way learning about the energy at each place.
With time, you will expand your senses.
