The Secret Teachings 9/23/21 - Earth

We can observe that whereas the air is the breath of life, fire is the spirit, water the soul, and earth a body. The earthen body is a vessel for all life, including both humans and other supernatural entities under the classification of gnomes. Duendes are supernatural beings in Latin American folklore, and others, similar to spirits like pixies or imps. A Pukwudgie is human-like creature found in Wampanoag tradition. Similar beings are found in the mythos of Hawaiian culture. Said to live in forests and valleys, the Menehune are excellent crafts people like the Germanic earth-dwellers (gnomes) we call dwarves. Their wisdom and craftsmanship may be further associated with another gnome we call the elf. These creatures are often tormentors of homes, causing mischief and frustration to the owners. Hence the reason people unknowingly enter into deals with some gnomes, offering them comically as protectors in their gardens or on their lawns. They may or may not know that these cute, or sometimes scary, decorations are actually superstitious totems and talismans believed to have the magical power of protection from the outside world - as if the house itself were an extension of the earth.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
