The Power of Words in the Magic of Air

Listen to the rustling of trees, the song of the blizzard, the rhythm of the drum.
Observe the motion of the dance, the flight of the bird, the edge of the warrior’s sword.
Feel the lightness of joy, the resonance of silence, the gallop of a free stallion.
Become the bell, the shamanic madness, the breath of the wind.
This is AIR.

Air is the element of mental magic, where verbal forms such as incantations, spells, and spoken charms hold the greatest significance. Through these, people have learned to influence others, the surrounding world, communicate with spirits, and connect with the forces of nature. The spoken word carries immense power; with the right vibration in incantations and spells, one can both create and destroy.

In the beginning, there was the Word, and it is air that is at the genesis of life, yet it can also lead to death. This is why a thoughtlessly spoken word, even without magical intent but imbued with strong emotion and energy, can be dangerous and lead to unpredictable consequences.

Care with every word is essential, as is the ability to articulate thoughts accurately and value silence. Too much air can smother essential processes in the future. Mastering the art of speaking wisely and knowing when to stay silent is fundamental both in magic and divination.
