The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels
possess supernatural powers and are usually
invisible to humans, living among the trees, rivers,
plants, bogs, mountains, and minerals. They
attach themselves to practically every natural
thing.
Professional tarot card reader, astrologer,
and feng shui consultant, Susan Levitt, explains
the Five Taoist Elements - Fire, Earth, Metal, Water
and Wood. - "The four elements of fire, water, air,
and earth are the basis of many magical and
spiritual systems: the native American medicine
wheel, the four corners of pagan European ritual,
the four elements of alchemical schools of ancient
Egypt, and the four elements of astrology.
Even the tarot deck and the common
playing cards are based on these four elements
whereby fire is wands (clubs), water is cups
(hearts), air is words (spades), and earth is pentacles
(diamonds)." - It is not surprising then that an
ordinary deck of playing cards can be used for
divination and fortune-telling. In my teens, I
would read futures and fortunes for my friends
using these cards.
She continues - "Another way of dividing the
cosmos into elemental energies is the ancient East
Indian Vedic system of the three doshas: Vata
(air/space), pitta (fire), and Kapha (earth and water).
These three doshas are used in Ayurvedic medicine in a
system as fully developed as traditional Chinese
medicine.
