A to Z Blogging Challenge words of the day - Eagle and Element of Earth

Hope all are enjoying these little post. Today I chose two words that beginning with “E”. Eagle and Element of Earth

Eagle, is used as a magical symbolism in the Kerubic emblem of the element of water. It comes from the complex magical symbolism of the zodiacal sign Scorpio. The eagle (in alchemy) is a common symbol and usually represents mercury. If paired with the lion it means mercury and sulphur, which are the basics of all metallic items.

(I personally would have never thought an eagle would be related to water. I could see air, and maybe even earth, but to me water and a eagle doesn’t match well.)

Element of Earth It is one of the four, (or five, depending on your beliefs) elements corresponding to matter in solid form, as well as to the cold and dry qualities. Attributes of Earth vary, but there are some standards in most current Western occult systems. A few that my resource listed are below.

Earth symbol:

 

Name of God:                         ADNI, Adonai (Lord)

Archangel:                   Auriel (Light of God)

Ruler:                          Kerub

Elemental King:           Ghob

Elementals:                  Gnomes

Season:                        Winter

Time of day:               Midnight

Qualities:                     Cold and dry

Nature:                                    Stability

Of course how this information is applied and taken depends on your belief system. Or in a writer’s case how it applies to the story world and character you are creating.

Hope all enjoyed today’s post and comes back tomorrow to find out what word I chose that begins with the letter, “F”.

Have a great day and remember:
