Conscious Will: Mysteries of the Pentagram

Conscious will is what we have at our center of our being. If the body is represented by earth, emotions by water, mind by air, impulse by fire, then will power would be of the 5th element the spirit. The spirit is able to dominate the 4 inferior elements. If we are weak in will then we are thrown around by the 4 elements. By getting over inflamed with fire and anger, we become melancholy and emotionally unstable when our water element is out of balance. We become unable to concentrate and utilize thought if our wind element is out of balance. We need to purify the elements and bring them under our conscious will.This is the symbol of the upright pentagram. We as human beings have conscious will and are able to go against our impulses. This is the true meaning of being a Jew. Someone who does not act in animal impulses but transmutes them. An Israelite is one who is working with will power and started the process transmuting the animal nature. Living an upright life is what the pentagram is trying to teach us.

The 4 elements are are guarded and prices by the elementals. The elementals are the gnomes, the sylphs, the slamaders, and the undines. These are the 4 elements. Gnomes rule over the earth and the plants and minerals. Thesy take care of our physical self in regards to our nervous system. They help us maintain our physicality and help distribute minerals within the body. They are in charge of taking care of plants and producing fruit. The magician or alchemist wants to be in a dominate position to the gnomes.The gnomes are neither good nor bad but innocent creatures of the elemental kingdom. They are hard workers and symbolize labor, work, and charity. When we become lazy and slothful the Gnomes polarize against us and then things to not go well practically in our life. We forget to put gas in the car, we are late for work, we are unsteady with our practice. When we start to do our duties and take care of the physical aspects of life consciously the Gnomes are pleased and help us, things go well, we arrive early and new opportunities arise for us. We will be talking extensively about the the 3 other elementals and how they apply to us in upcoming articles.
