The 4 Elements and our Human Organism
The Marvelous Forces of Nature
The Mexican people venerated and honored the gods: angels, archangels, principalities, potentcies, virtues, dominations, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim of Christianity.
The Hindustani Devas, the Hebrew Malachim, Anahuac gods, angels of Christianity, are the spiritual principles of the marvelous forces of nature.No one can absolutely control these natural forces unless possessing the fifth qualified initiation, which is that of an adept of the causal world.
It is essential to have been accepted by the princes of fire, air, water, and earth.
It is urgent to have realized the most profound spiritual nature of the natural forces, before becoming authentic kings of the universal elements.
To beseech is different. The scripture says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”
The ATLACA CHICHIMECAS prostrated themselves before the holy gods (angels of Christianity) and the answer is never kept waiting.
With infinite humility, simplicity and poverty, they built a temple to the archangel Huitzilopochtli, the actual founder of Mexico-Tenochtitlan.
The tabernacle that they built to him was certainly poor, very much in line with their economical possibilities. Established in a foreign land, between rushes and reeds, these people obviously did not have enough wood and stone.
-Paraphrase from Ch. 11 of Secret Doctine of Anahuac by Samael Aun Weor
The Malachim of the 4 Elements in the Meso-American Pantheon
Our Divine Mother Tonantzin is the Igneous Serpent of our magical powers that ascends victoriously through the spinal column of our human organism.
[Earth]
Coatlicue is the serpent of the abyss: Kali, Hekate, the infernal Proserpine, the goddess of the Earth.Another name for the terrible goddess of the Earth is Cihuacoatl and is the blessed Patron of the famous Cihuateteo who cries and yells horribly at night.
Unquestionably, the gnomes and pygmies who dwell in the bowels of the Earth are terrified when facing Coatlicue.The particular genie of these Gnomes is Gob, a very special deity, well known in high magic.
It has been said that the kingdom of the Gnomes is at the North of the Earth.
They are commanded by the sword [or a the Staff/Cane].
[Water]
...Tlaloc, the God of water.
This great being lives in the causal world, beyond the flesh, affections and the mind.
Unquestionably, the God Tlaloc will reincarnate within a few years.The kabalists solemnly affirm that the kingdom of the Undines is in the West and they are evoked with the cup of toasts.
When ancient magicians called the undines of rivers and lakes, or the genii of the clouds, or the nereids of the stormy ocean, they pronounced in a loud voice, the following mantrams: VEYA, VALLAYA, VEYALA, HELAYA, VEYA.
When some tribes in America want rain for their fields, all members gather and adopt a toad-like posture. They imitate it and then, all in unison, they repeat their croaks; the results are immediate.
The ancient mexicans prayed to the Lord of the rain, to Tlaloc, and then the waters of life watered the earth.
Although Tlaloc is a King of nature, a perfect creature beyond good and evil, he has in his power, floods, droughts, hail, ice and lightening; this was enough reason for ancient magicians to fear his wrath.
Needless to say, that by the end of the Nahua civilization, he was offered sacrifices of prisoners carefully dressed, and especially Maidens and especially children, the purpose of this was to quench his anger.
It is necessary to clarify the following: When the powerful Anahuac civilization was at the peak of its glory, human sacrifices (which terrify tourists so much) were absent, they did not exist.
Undoubtedly, every civilization that dies ends up in a blood bath, and Mexico could in no way be the exception.
Those who have studied Universal History do not ignore this, remembering Rome, Troy, Carthage, Egypt, Persia, etc., etc., etc.
[Air]
The followers of lay Anthropology (a hundred percent utopians) found their absurd hypothesis in mere subjective reasoning, they speculate that Our Holy Lord Quetzalcoatl, the great Avatar of ancient Mexico, was also adored under the name Ehecatl, which wisely translated means “God of the wind”...Ehecatl, Sabtabiel, Michael, etc., etc., etc., constitute a true elite of sacred Individuals of our Ors solar system, who specialize in the difficult science of Cosmic Movement.
The great Guruji Ehecatl proficiently helped the great Kabir Jesus of Nazareth in his difficult process of resurrection.
Under the direction of Ehecatl, billions and trillions of aerial sylphs work on our planet Earth.
We are told with great emphasis that the kingdom of the sylphs is located in the East.
Unquestionably, they are to be commanded with an eagle’s feather, or with the holy Pentacles; magicians know about this.
When envisioning the harmony of all things, we discover (with mystical amazement) the spiritual side of nature; in other words, we encounter the famous Malachim or angelic kings.Direct contact with the elementals must be realized with the mediation of the angelic kings of the elements, in the marvellous sphere of the causal world.
Just as earth, water and air, the fire element of nature also has its special God in the secret doctrine of Anahuac.
[Fire]
The aztecs always adored him under the sacred name, Huehueteotl, which correctly translation means: “old God.”He is represented as an old man of many years, and that carries a huge brazier on his head.
As we have said, in contrast to Tezcatlipoca who is the first one to arrive at the feast of the month of Teotleco, the blessed Divine Lord Huehueteotl, is the last one to arrive at the assembly of the Gods.
Huehueteotl, as a natural element, is the Christian INRI, the gnostic Abraxas, the chinese Tao, the buddhist Zen, and the Agnus Dei.
Huehueteotl, as a sacred Individual, is an angelic King, he achieved his inner self-realization, he is a Malachim and under his rule billions and trillions of salamanders (creatures of fire) work.
In the Universal Fire happily dwell the “Sons of the Flame”, the Gods of the igneous element, the ancient genii, Apollo, Minerva, Horus, etc.
Those ineffable and terribly divine Flames are quite certainly beyond good and evil.
Ostensibly, the kingdom of the salamanders is in the South.
They are commanded with the serrated rod or with the magical trident [or with the Sword].

How to Work with the Elementals of Nature
In order to dominate and make use of the elements of nature, in a complete and definite way, it is indispensable to have previously eliminated the animal Ego.
Never can a frivolous and irresolute person rule the sylphs of nature; at no time will a feeble , cold or fickle individual , be the absolute master of undines of water and the nereids of the seas; anger irritates the salamanders of fire and gross lascivious people who want to misuse them will become the toys of the gnomes and pygmies of the mineral kingdom.
We need to be quick and active like the sylphs; flexible and attentive with images like the undines and the nereids; energetic and strong like the salamanders; and industrious and patient like the gnomes.
In a phrase, it is urgent and indispensable to overcome the elementals in their strength, without ever being dominated by their weaknesses. Remember that our motto is THELEMA (willpower).
When the magician totally dies in himself, the whole of nature will obey him.
He will go through storms without rain wetting his head; the wind will not cause a single wrinkle in his clothes.
He will cross fire without being burnt; he will walk upon the stormy waters of the ocean without sinking, he will clearly see the wealth that is buried in the bosom of the Earth.
Remember the great Kabir Jesus’ words: “The miracles I have done, you can do, and even more....”
The angelic rank of the world of natural causes or realm of conscious Willpower is that of the Malachim or Kings of Nature, who certainly constitute, in themselves, the legitimate spiritual principles of the elements.
Those ineffable and terribly divine Gods are perfect Men in the most complete sense of the word.
Such Beings are far beyond good and evil.
The illuminated ascetic is seized with wonder and mystical terror when experiencing in all parts of their Being, the presence of the bat God, the powerful Lord of the mysteries of Life and Death.
Let us remember that chants to Huitzilopochtli, to the mother of the gods, to the god of fire, to Xochipilli, the god of music, dance and songs, to Xochiquetzal, to Xipe-Totec, the Blessed Lord of spring, and others, are still kept.
At this very moment, as I write these lines, some interesting memories come to my mind.A long time ago, some unpleasant guest stayed at my home; it seemed he would never leave.
I consulted this case with Ehecatl, the God of the wind; the individual immediately left my home.
Fortunately, I possessed the amount that Ehecatl demanded for his services; nothing is given free to us, everything has its price.
These elemental Gods are paid in cosmic currency. Whosoever has something with which to pay does well in the transaction.
Our good works are represented with cosmic money. Doing good, is always good business.
In this way, we will accumulate cosmic capital through which it is possible to do negotiations of this kind.
The initiate approaches these elemental beings on behalf of any of the Kings who govern them.By any means, he descends to the elemental kingdoms (being in charge of his virility), and then acts upon the elements.
The elemental operations must start in the world of natural causes; since it is in this region that they must be controlled.
If this control is lacking, then black magic immediately surges forth.
When the elemental forces are split from their spiritual principles, they become something different, and, although no evil is intended, an inevitable fall, with a simultaneous decay, is generated.
When we regain the innocence of the mind and of the heart, the Princes of fire, of air, of water and of earth open the doors of the elemental paradises to us.
When we want, then, to make use of the elemental forces, we must ask for the aid of the corresponding Kings.
In the causal world, or world of conscious Willpower is essentially the region of religious mysticism.
The gnostic who learns to combine meditation with prayer, can unquestionably establish contact (consciously and objectively) with the Gods of nature.
The causal world is the sphere of the Masters, it is the eternal Temple in the heavens that no hand has built, it is the great Abode of the Occult Fraternity.
Are you sick? Do you want to heal others? Then pick as your motive of concentration, meditation, prayers and supplications, etc., the famous bat God of the aztecs and mayans. This great Being is undoubtedly a Master of the mysteries of Life and Death.
When fire spreads and burns, threatening lives, houses, and estates, let Huehueteotl (the old God of fire) be the object of your concentration, meditation and supplication.
Hebrew kabalists and rabbis know well that the Mantram of the causal world was, is, and will always be: ALOAH VA DAATH.
Meditating on such words is the same as knocking at the marvelous doors of the great Temple.

Learning to Control the Elementals with the Exorcisms
The mystic who truly yearns to convert themselves into a Malachim, an angelic King of Nature, must become a king or queen of themselves.
How could we rule the elementals of nature if we have not learned to govern the atomic elementals in our own body?
The atomic salamanders of blood and of sex burn terribly with our animal passions.
The atomic sylphs of our own vital air, at the service of the mechanical imagination (do not confuse this with objective conscious imagination), play with our lascivious and perverse thoughts.
The atomic undines of the sacred sperm always create frightful sexual storms.
The atomic gnomes of our flesh and bones indolently enjoy laziness, gluttony, concupiscence.
It is urgent to know how to exorcise, command, and subdue the atomic elementals of our own body.
Through the exorcisms of fire, air, water and earth, we can subdue the atomic elementals of our own body.
Unquestionably, these prayers and exorcisms must be learned by heart.
EXORCISM OF THE FIREThe fire is exorcised by throwing salt, frankincense, white resin, camphor and sulphur upon it, and by pronouncing three times the three names of the genii of the fire:
Michael, King of the Sun and of Lightening;
Samael, King of Volcanoes;
Anael, Prince of the Astral Light,
attend my prayers.Amen.
(Then the devotee will mentally perform their petition.)
Exorcism of the AirThe air is exorcised by blowing towards the four cardinal points, and say the following with great faith:
Spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas, et inspiravit in facien hominis spiraculum vitae.
Sit Michael dux meus, et Sabtabiel servus meus, in luce et per lucem.
- Fiat verbum halitus meus, et imperabo spiritus aeris hujus et refrenabo equos solis volontate cordis mei, et cogitatione mentis meae et nutu oculi dextri.
Exorciso igitur te, creatura aeris, per Pentagrammaton et in nomine Tetragrammaton in quibus sunt voluntas firma et fides recta.
Amen. Sela fiat. So be it.
Then the devotee concentrates on Michael and Sabtabiel, and phrases their petition.
Exorcism of the WaterFiat firmanentum in medium aquarum et separet aquas ab aquis, que superius sicut quae inferius, et quae inferius sicut que superius ad perpetranda miracula rei unius.
Sol ejus pater est, luna mater et ventus hunc gestavit in utero suo, ascendit a terra ad coelum et rursus a coelo in terrain descendit.
Exorciso te, creatura aquae, ut sis mihi speculum Dei vivi, in operibus ejus, et fons vitae, et ablutio pecatorum.
Amen.
(At this time, the devotee, properly concentrated on TLALOC or on Nicksa, will perform their mental petition.)
Exorcism of the EarthBy the magnetic nail that pierces the heart of the world,
by the twelve stones of the holy city,
by the seven metals that run within the veins of the Earth,
and in the name of Gob,
obey me subterranean workers.(Then, the devotee, concentrated on Gob, will formulate their petition.)
-Paraphrase from Ch. 15 of Secret Doctine of Anahuac by Samael Aun Weor
How Magicians worked with the Elements
In their elemental magic operations, the ancient magi used incenses with laurel branches, mugwort, rue, sage, pine, and rosemary leaves.
Such plants were burned with fiery charcoals. This method is superb.
The air is charged with the smoke of the plants. The exorcised fire will reflect the operator’s will and the subtle forces of Nature will listen and respond.
In such moments, the water will appear to shake and boil. The fire will glow in a strange way, and the air will be filled with unfamiliar voices. Even the earth will seems to tremble.
It was in such moments that the magicians of the Middle Ages made the elemental genie, Cupid (besides being visible in the magnetized mirror) show in the mirror, not only the figure of the loved one, but, what is more interesting, the events that fate always has in store for the loving beings.
The Gods of fire, Agni, Huehueteotl, etc., and others, the Elohim of the air, Paralda, Ehecatl, etc., the divinities of the water, Nicksa, Tlaloc, and so on, Gob [or Coatlicue] and other subterranean deities, always attend the mystic who invokes them with wisdom, love and power.
We have been told that any magician who works with the elementals of Nature can become invisible at will.
Such power, unquestionably, can only be acquired like any faculty, on the basis of supreme sacrifices.
Ostensibly, sacrifice clearly means the deliberate clairvoyant choice of a superior quality over an inferior one.
The coal consumed by the locomotive is cruelly sacrificed to the power of movement, which is so indispensable to transport passengers.
In reality, sacrifice is a transmutation of forces.
Energy, latent in coal, offered on the altar of the locomotive, is transformed into the dynamic energy of steam by means of the proper instruments.
There is a mechanism, that is psychological and cosmic at the same time, which every act of sacrifice brings into play and through which it is transformed into spiritual energy; this, in turn, can be applied to various other mechanisms and can reappear in the planes of form, as a kind of integral force, and that is absolutely different from what it originally was.
For instance, a man could sacrifice his emotions for his career, or a woman could sacrifice her career for her emotions.
Some people are willing to sacrifice their mundane pleasures for the joys of the spirit.
Nevertheless, it is very rare for someone to be willing to renounce their own sufferings, to sacrifice them for something superior.
To sacrifice the very natural and supreme sorrow of the death of a loved one, and you will have an extraordinary transmutation of forces. This will grant you the power to become invisible at will.
Doctor Faust could become invisible at will; the cited magus had clearly obtained this power on the basis of sacrifice.
The medieval sages had a formula, a marvelous enchantment, that they used to become invisible.
This kind of magical formula has, as its basis, real and unbreakable faith.It is obvious that this faith has to be built by means of profound analytical studies and [by means of] direct mystical experience.
