Melancholic Earth and Black Bile: the Elemental and Alchemical Four Humours today

The concept of the Four Humours dates back to Ancient Greece and Rome, and was only replaced with the advent of modern medicine. The humours were also woven into elemental magical practice for centuries - from the humeric practices of early modern magicians and alchemists, to the modern day practices of witches and occultists. In this talk, Rebecca will examine Black Bile and Earth, their mysteries, symbols and   powers, and how they can be evoked and coaxed into working in your favour today.

Dr Rebecca Beattie has spent more than twenty years studying and practicing witchcraft and Wicca, and has a deep understanding of the traditions underpinning the practices. A published author, her books include Nature Mystics: The Literary Gateway to Modern Paganism and Wheel of the Year: A Nurturing Guide. Site: https://www.rebeccabeattie.co.uk/
