I once went to Nepal with one of the Monks who happened to be my spiritual guru. It was beautiful! I woke up at the start of the weekend to a wonderful surprise….It was snowing!

Now I love the snow, it is one of my favorite weather conditions.  I love how beautiful it makes everything, and also how powerful it is.  When it snows I will start by going outside and meditating in it.  It helps to clear my mind and recharges my body.  I will then gather as much energy as I can.  The energy gathered by snow can be used for a number of things.  Protection is a big one.  Creating an energy shield while a snowstorm creates a shield that is very powerful and effective.

Snow is a very powerful force!  Blizzards and intense and very dangerous as they contain a lot of energy that only a powerful person could survive.  The snow is full of energies just waiting to be tapped into.

Here is an interesting fact, Monks who practice meditation and have opened up the energy in their Chakras test their powers by going out into -40’C weather while wearing wet robes.  In the morning one of two things happens. The monk is either alive, in dry robes and the snow around him has melted, or they are dead.  The snow is a great tester of power, and those who can survive this element are very powerful people.

When practicing black magick, I never forget the power that harnessing the elements can add to my spells.  If I’m doing a love spell, adding fire can excite the energy and make it more powerful.

The elements are those forces that come from nature, viz., Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Ether, Wood, Metal, etc.  They are very powerful tools and should not be overlooked when creating spells and rituals.

This is why using candles in spells increases its power and magicians use wands, swords or athames.  All these things are symbolic of the elements and help the Black magician to direct the energies and increase the effectiveness of the spell.

Elements are powerful,  look at the power that nature possesses, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Blizzards, Floods…  All these things nature does effortlessly, yet they are devastating to us.  Use these forces in your spells, you won’t be disappointed!
