Natural Magic Correspondences

In the realm of natural magic, the universe is perceived as a web of interconnectedness, where every element resonates with specific energies and properties. These correspondences, based on ancient wisdom and occult traditions, link various aspects of the natural world, such as plants, animals, stones, and perfumes, to planets, elements, and zodiac signs. By understanding these correspondences, practitioners of natural magic can harness the inherent powers of natural elements to create talismans, potions, and rituals for specific purposes.

The following tables represent a very traditional view of correspondences between objects from the natural world and the seven planets and four elements. In my personal philosophy I may diverge from some of the relationships published below. One very cool thing about these tables, if I may so say, is how they link to both planets and elements, giving the reader a good idea of how nuanced and complex the planets and elements are.

For example, each element is represented by a different animal when aligned with a different planet. I try to illustrate as often as possible that most standard, mainline views offered on magic are necessarily limited, i.e. there is much more to uncover than will fit into any paperback.

The following correspondences are formatted a little differently from those above. The tables in this section illustrate joint or combined planetary and elemental relationships and tie those to aspects, characteristics. or attributes etc. in the last column.

For example, you will find in the first table Mercury and Air are related and each resonates with the musical note D plus communication, intellect, and mental agility. This is of course a truncated and not exhaustive listing of attributes but it initiates the train of thought for you.

It’s good to approach this topic from variant perspectives and important to note that while you may see differences here and there in terms of the planets or elements assigned to the same item, think of this not as contradiction but rather nuance and depth.

Other Correspondences

Football Team Positions (Offensive)

Just for fun the next two tables utilize the game of football to demonstrate the versatility, indeed the truly fundamental-to-our-reality nature of the core magical powers, or planets, and energetic qualities, or elements. I rarely watch football, so this is not a result of fanaticism for the game, but rather an exercise in applying two of the main pillars from the magical paradigm to a random, mundane scenario or system.

Mercury	Air	Quarterback	Communication, strategy, quick thinking
Mars	Fire	Running Back	Power, drive, physical force
Venus	Water	Wide Receiver	Grace, agility, creative plays
