not that you ever know what to expect from make some noise, but I could not in a million years have guessed "learning that Jiavani knows the lyrics to The Elements by Tom Lehrer" and I could not be happier

[whumpster-dumpster]

heyyy… what about a character swimming in freezing water and then standing in cold weather? what’s those effects like? tell me all about it

They could become frostbitten and hypothermic. Frostbite typically affects the ears/nose/fingers/toes and can include pain, numbness, swelling, blisters and skin discoloration. If it gets severe enough, the cells will start dying and they could lose the affected extremity.

Hypothermia symptoms include shivering, slurred speech/mumbling, bright red/cold skin, slow and shallow breathing, weak pulse, clumsiness/lack of coordination, confusion and memory loss, drowsiness/low energy and eventually loss of consciousness.

The Elemental Rosarium

Chanelling and embodying the powers of the four Cardinal Elements, the Elemental Rosarium is a collection of ensouled devotional beads that represent a conclave of reified occult knowledge and an assembly of incarnated natural forces.

Each of the four rosaries offered herein is uniquely constructed with highly potent materials, utilizing meaningful and powerful cultic symbolism based on a mixture of traditional folklore and personal inspiration. Every set of beads serves as a Venerative Idol dedicated to one of the four cardinal elements, and every piece was, likewise, empowered by the very Genius of its given element under highly specialized ritual specifications.

All products measure approximately 19.5 inches / 49.5 centimeters long, and they include:

The Rosary of Holy Flame:

This set of hand-cafted devotional beads was constructed under the auspices of Noontide, wherein the rosary was passed through the holy flames of Candle, Hearth, and Balefire. It was made with materials that are individually and synergistically linked to the spirit of flame, including Lava Stone beads, Red Obsidian counter beads, and Carnelian bracket beads. The endpiece pendants are a stainless steel rendering of the Alchemical Symbol for Fire and a Flint stone—oldest among the human tools of ignition.

Whether drawing down the Fires of Heaven, calling up the Fires of Earth, or stoking the very Cunning Fire, these beads will serve as a faithful implement in the hands of one who venerates the flames.

The Rosary of Sacred Winds:

This set of hand-cafted devotional beads was constructed under the auspices of Windswept Peak, wherein the rosary was suffused with the sacred winds of Breath, Bellows, and Breeze. It was made with materials that are individually and synergistically linked to the spirit of air, including Czech Glasswork beads filled with air bubbles, scavenged Raven Bone counter beads, and Howlite bracket beads. The endpiece pendants are a stainless steel rendering of the Alchemical Symbol for Air and a Dandelion Seed—humble traveler of the wind—which was encapsulated in resin, before I outfitted it with silver wire.

Whether observing augury, calling up the wind, or working with divinities of the weather and sky, these beads will serve as a faithful implement in the hands of one who venerates the air.

The Rosary of Blessed Waters:

This set of handcrafted devotional beads was constructed under the auspices of Rain, wherein the rosary was lustrated with the blessed waters of Spring, River, and Sea. It was made with materials that are individually and synergistically linked to the spirit of water, including fluvial Shell Pearl beads, Salmon Bone counter beads, and Aquatine Calcite bracket beads. The endpiece pendants are a stainless steel rendering of the Alchemical Symbol for Water, and a Seahshell—naturally punctured over untold years by force of the ocean current. These particular components represent a multiplicity of water sources invoked, with the shell pearl coming from rivers, the seashell coming from the ocean, and the Salmon being a fish that traverses between those two realms.

Whether calling on the virtues of hallowed water, entreating the spirits ot local waterways, or working with oceanic divinities, these beads will serve as a faithful implement in the hands of one who venerates the waters.

The Rosary of Hallowed Earth:

This set of hand-cafted devotional beads was constructed under the auspices of Cave Covering, wherein the rosary was dusted with hallowed earth gathered from Mountain, Burrow, and Crossroads. It was made with materials that are individually and synergistically linked to the spirit of earth, including Granite beads, Lodestone counter beads, and Marble bracket beads. The endpiece pendants are a stainless steel rendering of the Alchemical Symbol for Earth and a simple Clay Talisman—shaped from the living earth and worked by hands that will one day return to that very same ground.

Whether calling on the virtues of stones, communing with telluric spirits, or working with earthen mediums like soil and ceramics, these beads will serve as a faithful implement in the hands of one who venerates the terrain.

As spring rolls in so does gentle breezes, chirping birds and rolling clouds. Spring is deeply associated with the element of Air.

I think Air is an underrated element. People are often unsure how they connect to it or what it would bring into a spell. In a way, that is the nature of Air. It is an element of movement and change. By its nature, it cannot exist and be still. Air is the motive force of the elements. It is the breath of life, and the winds of change.

Air, like all elements, has its own power and strength. Associated with the mind, inspiration, truth, and communication to name a few. In Tarot it is represented by the sword traditionally. I’d encourage those who are creatives to spend time with it.

In my greatest moments of stress, I try to connect to the lightness and freedom of Air. I breathe, I walk, and I move past the stress that I feel.

With this being the season of Air, I wanted to share a few ways to work with Air below. 🌬️

-Verbal Spells -Your breathe -Smoke/Incense -Bells -Asking the wind to cleanse you -Storm Magic -Brooms -Balms/Oils made for the element -Meditating Outside -Sounds/Music -Fans -Utilizing feathers

These are just a handful of ways I’ve connected to the element. If there’s anything you can share, drop it in the comments!

Pictured is our Air Elemental Balm. I spellcrafted this balm to help with connecting with Air and its associated properties. This balm I often use outside of spellwork. Mostly putting it on before I go work on projects, meditate or go about my day.
