The Kindle price is reasonable (I don't have Kindle Unlimited...), but I'd like a well-informed opinion from any forum member who has actual experience with Elemental Magic, and whether or not this book would provide useful and attainable results (in the due course of time) as part of a more comprehensive occult practice. Perhaps there's a better book in the library? The only book about elements specifically seems to contain stories and poetry. That's nice, but it's not what I'm looking for.

Have yet to read.

It seemed to me that there was a book I had downloaded from the WF library that dealt with Elements, and I discovered it again: The Universal Master Key by Bardon. I'm going to (finally) get around to reading it, but I'm still curious how Practical Elemental Magick compares to it.

It is a very good read and really goes over the connections and correspondences quite well.

it absolutely is worth the price. the practices are quite good such as the elemental meditations, thought form creations, and elemental pyramids, etc.

i have not read any of Bardon’s works so I cannot compare, but as someone who had a loose idea of the elements from various sources it was nice to have it all compiled and explained in one book.

also, reading about the elemental creatures (gnomes, sylphs, salamanders, Undines, etc) was very interesting and also learning about the elemental hierarchies.

would recommend 9/10.

Just read IIH, seems like all the stuff covered here is already in that book.

Are you saying this because you have read Practical Elemental Magick? I do have the IIH, even a pdf I made from a better translation found on archive dot org (screenshots page by page from a one hour borrow). But that doesn't mean additional information and other perspectives aren't useful. I'd welcome additional informed comments.

I really appreciate your reply. Would it be possible to provide us an example meditation, perhaps something you could summarize if it's too long to type out the full version?

In case anyone reading this thread would like to examine it for themselves:

Book – PDF - Practical Elemental Magick - David Rankine, Sorita d'Este

"The four elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth exist as spiritual essences, as philosophical concepts, as energy states and as a tangible physical reality." Working magick with the elements helps to connect us to the tangibly present natural powers in our physical world, whilst at the same...
