FOUR ELEMENTS OF THE WISE

Tal como lo leí en las reseñas, un libro muy completo que habla de los 4 elementos, llegó rápido bien empacado, gracias

_The Four Elements of the Wise_ presents layers upon layers upon layers of knowledge concerning the elements in the Western magical tradition generally and the author's own practice specifically. My previous experience with elemental forces comes from Tibetan Bon Buddhism, and much here was new to me, but Mr. Dominguez's explanations are lucid and engaging. He is especially skilled at making helpful analogies but also reminding the reader that they _are_ analogies, the map and not the territory. At the same time, he never oversimplifies or dilutes the information presented. I especially appreciated his gentle reminders that 1) there is no one "right" set of associations, directions, etc. for the elements, and yet 2) coherence matters, and it's best to work consistently within a single tradition (or set of compatible traditions) and not to force or invent connections between fundamentally different systems.There's a lot in this book that I recognize I'm not ready for - one of its great strengths is that it will reward continued study and re-reading over the long haul. It also contains some concepts that I will probably never use, which is not a bad thing. Mr. Dominguez provides a range of tools and concepts, from the simple to the dizzyingly complex, and it's up to the reader to decide which best suit the occasion, purpose, and their own skill set and ritual style. Overall, I can imagine no better or wiser guide to working with the elements than this book.

Good service, quick delivery. Looking forward to reading this

This is a unique and extraodinary book. It not an armchair book. I think one needs to read it a few times ... it contains alot of information about the elements that I have not heard before.

This incredible author writes deeply on his subject. You can scan the book and get some basic information about this topic; however, it is best to read in sections and give yourself time to absorb what you read and how it may or may not relate to your life and your spiritual practice. I highly recommend this book - It is FANTASTIC!
