Course Description:
In this course we will talk about the elements and how to incorporate them into once magical
practice.
We will discuss associations, symbols, and ways to direct elemental energies for the use in
spellcraft.
We will not talk about summoning/ working with elemental beings, nor will we talk about
baneful magic!
Attendance and Homework Policy:
There will be a weekly class via Google Meetings. Attendance is not required but highly
recommended. A significant chunk of this course will be discussion-based so attendance and
participation would be highly appreciated. There will be weekly homework assignments.
Some assignments will be practical in nature (e.g., meditation, simple spellwork, etc.*) others
will be purely theoretical (research, preparation).
(* if there are any reasons why you can’t do any of the practical assignments, please send me
a DM, so we can work out a suitable alternative.)
Final Assignment:
At the end of the term, you will be given a random topic around which you will design a
element-based spell/ ritual (details will follow on time).
