Working with the Elements: Fire and Choleric Yellow Bile

The concept of the four elements dates back to Ancient Greece and beyond. Twinned with the theory of the Four Humours, they remained part of science down the millennia, woven into elemental workings of magicians, physicians and alchemists. They fell out of currency with the rise of modern medicine, but survived 'underground' in the practices  of occultists and witches. In this talk, Rebecca will examine the Element of Fire, and the Humour of Choleric Yellow Bile -- their mysteries, symbols and powers -- then giving guidance on how can be evoked and coaxed in a modern setting, so that they are working in one's 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/
