The Evermore Grimoire: The Elements
The Fire Element is represented by the Sun and its light, as well as the stars, deserts, and volcanoes. It’s the element of transformation, and is associated with illumination, health, strength and creativity. It’s always in motion, even when rooted in one spot, Fire is the most active and animated of the Elements. As a contribution to the natural order of the Earth, it keeps forests healthy through cycles of burning and regeneration. However this same power is also dangerous and deadly when unchecked, which is why it commands such respect from those who seek to use it. Fire can be extinguished by any of the other Elements (Earth, Air and Water), but it is also the only one that must have another substance to consume in order to maintain its existence. It is also mesmerising and yet it’s the only element that can’t be touched without harm to the body. While not technically necessary for human survival Fire is certainly integral to a healthy and comfortable existence.

The Elemental Rosarium
Tumblr media
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.

How did you came up with your elemental system? I've got really inspired by you and want to create something similar, but don't want to steal your work. All things you create, by the way, is really cool!
Heya Anon!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I go into more about how I came up with my system here:
But the gist of it was I was unhappy with how limiting having 4/5 elements was. (4 being earth wind fire water, 5 including spirit into the mix)
It just felt like there was so much MORE that wasn't being utilized and so i set out to puzzle out exactly WHAT I thought was missing.
IIRC my original list went something like this: Fire Water Air Earth Light Dark Time Space Luck Fate Order Chaos Blood Gravity Lightning
The last three on this list did not make the final cut as I felt like they didn't fit with the themes that the rest all came together to make (That and i decided that my elements would be able to be combined to form any missing elements I was needing (Space+ Earth= Gravity) (Light + Fire = Lightning) Blood was just my way of trying to input a 'Spirit' element lol)
But as for making your own to work with: Figure out WHAT you're trying to get out of what you're working with. When I started with mine I tried thinking about the things that I felt impacted my life on the regular in addition to the traditional 4 elements. Light and Dark came about because of day and night as well as how they help me view the world. Time and Space because I am always somewhere at some point in time and that helped me be more conscious of the world around me. Luck and Fate are the paths that I cannot control that directly influence the direction of where my life is headed. Order and Chaos were my way of explaining the state of things around me/my life.
It took several weeks for me to really gather everything together and have it be how it is so don't get discouraged if you don't stumble upon something right away. Don't be afraid to drop what isn't working for you (like Blood element lmao)
TLDR: Figure out what you'd like to try and experiment with it!
Also protip: I don't own these elements, these are just the way my think brain likes to interpret things so if they speak to you too: Cool!
Thanks again for your kind words and your patience in me getting to this ask!

Different magical element meanings

Here are some of the commonly recognized magical elements:
1. Earth: Often associated with stability, grounding, and the physical world. It encompasses concepts like stone, soil, plants, and minerals.
2. Air: Representing intellect, communication, and freedom. Air magic pertains to the element of wind, breeze, and the unseen forces around us.
3. Fire: Symbolising transformation, passion, and energy. Fire magic is connected to flames, heat, and the spark of life.
4. Water: Signifying emotions, intuition, and adaptability. Water magic relates to rivers, oceans, rain, and the flow of energies.
5. Spirit (or Aether): Sometimes considered a fifth element, representing the divine or spiritual essence that connects all things. It's the bridge between the material and the ethereal.
6. Light: Often associated with purity, illumination, and enlightenment. Light magic embodies concepts of clarity, truth, and goodness.
7. Darkness (or Shadow): Representing mystery, the subconscious, and the unknown. Dark magic encompasses hidden knowledge, mystery, and the depths of the human psyche.

Personally I think we should have more whumpers utilizing nature. We've got extreme heat and extreme cold. Cactus. Brambles. Sharp rocks. Venomous snakes and spiders. Scorpions. Ants. Vultures and crows. Jellyfish, even. Dubious mushrooms to eat. Salt water to splash on open wounds. Heck, dangle whumpee over a high precipice or chain them in the path of a rising tide to get them to break. There's a lot to work with there.
Maybe this is why I never go outside 😅

The Evermore Grimoire: The Elements
The Water Element is represented by lakes, streams, rivers, oceans, and rain, and is beneficial in its cleansing, purifying, healing and nourishing qualities. It can exist as a solid form of ice, or as a gas in tiny particles in the air and can take the form of puddles after rain, only to disappear again in the sunshine. Water is often thought of as the most essential of the Elements for sustaining life. Humans, of course, cannot live without it, and the same is true of animals and plant life. Yet it can also be a threat to life when it manifests as stormy seas, riptides, and even severe rainstorms. Water is more powerful when interacting with the other elements, as it can extinguish Fire, flood the Earth, and combine with Air to corrode and dissolve metals. Generally speaking, however, it is one of the more soothing elements. Associated with the Moon, psychic abilities, dreams, and the realm of emotions, Water is a shape-shifter, moving easily throughout the world by following the path of least resistance.
