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.
