Using the Elements to Partner Creation
by Ariel Spilsbury
The Art of Elemental Invitation
The elements are designed to serve the unfoldment of intentions from thought to reality. Their powerful forces can be called on through loving evocation, invitation, invocation, ceremony. Simply put, this happens through adding strongly evocative and loving feelings to your thought, intention or image creation. This can be done through ceremony, sound, dance, prayer, meditation, love making, mantra. spoken evocation, whatever will focus the power of your feelings to call on the assistance of the elemental forces. Be aware however, that what will also be called to purify your intent, will be the power of the elements to burn, blow, consume or wash away any part of your intention which is self serving, distorted or not aligned with the most loving and highest wisdom for all beings. This is great for personal growth, but can also be ego busting. The elements are a self-reinforcing curriculum for fast learning about the nature of manifestation. Remember simply when you work with the elements that like attracts like. Evoke fire by actually using fire etc.
The Short Form of Manifestation:
The process of manifestation is simple. l) set a fixed objective/intent 2) sustain mental and feeling focus toward it 3) hold it joyfully in the belly of silence 4) release it to the good of all in non-attachment to outcome 5) offer gratitude.
The Way of Divine Feminine Creation in Alignment with the Phases of the Moon
If you wish to create in the natural rhythm of the Goddess here is the flow for each phase of the moon starting all creation cycles with the New Moon.
1) I surrender. I receive. In the dark of the moon, all creations begin in the silence of the womb of the Mother in receptivity and openness. (Work with the element earth to co-create.)
2) I recognize. I seed. On the new moon, observe what needs to be recognized? What intentions are you going to seed? (Work with the element of fire to co-create.)
3) I amplify in stillness. In the crescent moon, take the seed of fixed objective or intent into the silence of inward focus seeing/feeling it as already blossomed. (Work with the element water to co-create.)
4) I focus. I create. In the waxing moon, further focus your intention and create models, or flesh out your vision. (Work with the combination of fire and earth to co-create.)
5) I intend. I empower. In the further waxing of the moon, empower your intention with further refinement. (Work with the next resonance of invitation to earth to co-create.)
6) I play. I inspire. Opening up to creative inspiration for embellishing your intention. (Work with alchemically combining the elements fire and air to co-create.)
7) I feel. I respond. I beautify. In the full moon, add the depth of your feelings (especially joy) to your sustained focus, to respond to and beautify your creation making it magnetically attractive.(Work with the alchemical combination of the elements fire and water to co-create.) Remember joy magnitizes!
8) I fuel. I consume. Putting your intention/creation to the elemental fire of Shakti to be fueled and to purify any part of your intention which is only self serving, not looking out for the good of the whole. ( Work with the next resonance of empowerment of the element fire to co-create.)
9) I clarify. I challenge. I align. As the moon wanes, re-examine and challenge your intention/creation in the light of the wisdom and experience you have garnered in the process thus far. ( Work with the element air.)
10) I simplify. I resonate. In the further waning moon, distill to the quintessential essence, your intention/creation. This might be a symbol, image, sound, geometry etc. which you will then use to dream and connect with the larger matrix. (Work with the third invitation to the element earth to co-create.)
11) I dream. I connect. In the further waning moon you dream and network/connect your creation into the larger field of reception. (Work with the next resonance of invitation to the element air.)
12) I trust. I release. As the moon becomes a sliver once again, you release your intention/creation to the Universe to receive back that which serves the good of the One. (Work with the final invitation to the element earth to co-create.)
13) I am Changing Wo/man, the Realm of Alchemystica: portal to union, ecstasy and freedom that holds all elements and phases of the moon.
