Noodly ceremonial magic for folklore and land-magic

I - What Is a Correspondence System?

Before we begin to tinker with new systems, let's understand what they're actually for. Especially suitable for beginner Pagans.

II - No Angels In My Living Room

or; Problems with Other Correspondence Systems
& why I devised my own

An in-depth exploration of some of the problems inherent in existing correspondence systems - especially, New Age use of the Kabbalah. Of most interest to advancing Pagans, who have some experience using correspondence systems and interest in thinking about the issues critically.

Once you have the Domains and Paths under your belt, you can bolster your instincts about them by reading through the correspondence lists:

VI - The Elemental Star

Once the Domains and Paths are well learned, it's time to add in some formal elemental attributions (although you'll probably be familiar already with a lot of this imagery from the other writing, because the elements were implicit in the system for a long time before they behaved themselves into a nice, clear star.
