No, its not that. I'm still in high school, under the age of driving and my parents dont know a thing about this kind of stuff, so its near impossible for me to get a book like that and for them to not know.

ebooks r much ezer of course.

I know what you mean. It's not that my parents would care (or even disagree) about stuff like magic and AP, it would just take too long and be too awkward to explain. E-Books are pure genius.  

[OrionsDream]

I know!!
Imagine this

"Hi mom, I'm going to the bookstore to purchase a book on how to move wind, will you give me a ride?"

Yes ebooks are certaintly the pinacale of internet evolution in the past decade.

Not to continue my ramblings but how but this one, "Mom! You just ruined my energy raising! Now I will never AP!!". Good times, good times.

Here's a few more E-book libraries.  I must say that I like the idea as long as it is the only option, but once you can afford it, if the books are still copyright protected, buy a copy, even if you have read it already.  As an aspiring writer, I can say that I would like to have my things read, but for all the work I put into it, compensation is much loved.  

If the books are copy released, though, no harm, the only one getting paid off of a purchase is the publisher.  Unless it is put out by the smaller publishing houses, they make too much off their talent anyway.  Getting as bad as record labels.  Rambled on enough, now.  Here's the links:

Not in ebook format, but you can bookmark a lot easier the place you are reading:

From the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn's public library:

Poking around on this site yields a lot of info, membership is free:

http://www.the-book-of-thoth.com/index.php

A standby and rather well known one:

http://www.esotericarchives.com/esoteric.htm

Hermetics home page, ebooks link on the right, lots of other stuff to see, too:

http://www.hermetics.org/home.html

Another site dedicated to Hermetics, but also has a slight Crowleyan focus:

http://www.hermetic.com/

And, as a Crowley reader, myself, I feel I should include a link that helps to explain Thelema, the spiritual path Crowley founded:

YEAH!!! WOW these are awesome, thanks everyone!

Honestly, I don't believe in elementals. I do believe a person can be classified to an element and share many traits of that element. I am air. Yes air is and element. Think of elements this way. What are the four most destructive, natural forces, on the planet that we would all die without? Fire, Earth, Water, and Air.

[bloodsong]

OK, so what you are saying is that you believe the elements exist, but see no way they could be personified?

more or less. The only type of energy that's able to be controlled to a point is Ki, chi, or qi. However you choose to spell it. I have tried working with elementalism before but trust me when I say this, it is only something that people wish that they could do. Everything about elementalism is only in the users imagination.

Well mabye you just suck at it.
Naw, besides what she's talking about is more like a kind of Psychokinesis instead of elemental work.

[OrionsDream]

Pheraps Leon if you would give me some proof of what you say about elemental manipulation in either the form of a site or something, i'd be happy to trust what you say.
I mean i know you didnt just come to that conclusion without any evidence/proof. Would be like saying "bush sucks" and not giving proof of his actions/quotes that he has done.

Many people think that the control/manipulation of an element is a type of telekinisis or somethin.

Funny, I was under the impression that at this point the only real evidence that was needed was a picture of the guy to prove this.

Case in point:

I honestly dont know about anyone else hear but I am tied into the elements deeply. The only talents I posses at least for now are the manipulation of the elements. I can make it rain, windy, cloudy, cold, occasionally thunder and lightning but  only happens in times of intense emotion. I have had this since I was little. around the age of five I would make little mini tornadoes (not 100 mph winds or anything more or less like 10 mph) around leaves and watch them swirl around. Its hard to explain this because its not really magic for me it just is there. I have never met anyone else like me though I have the knowledge that others are out there. huuuuuuuuu (deep breath) answers soon made clear
