The Spirit of the Element of Fire, which dwells in the Eastern quadrant, is Shrætar.
He is envisioned as a large lizard-man, who is flame red, and carries a large spear/trident.
He is the warder of all!
The Entrance to His dwelling is an active, open, Volcano. There are many passages there to explore.
Besides protection, He also provides us with the means to become reanimated, re-enlivened, and re-energized.
He will direct us to the chamber of lightning where we are instructed what to do, then the ball-lightning will invigorate us.
And many more things to see and explore.

This exercise is for the purpose of Centering, Relaxation, and Heightening Awareness of your connection to Deity. As you learn to use this procedure you will discover its qualities and benefits, also its other uses.
Perform this exercise in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for about 15-20 minutes. Best done in a room with a single candle/oil-lamp, set behind you. In the beginning you may perform this exercise for 5-10 minutes, with a goal of 20-30 minutes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sit on the floor, preferably on the skin of an animal that you have hunted with respect, in a comfortable position - typically cross legged.
Begin by taking a few deep breaths (deep, "all the way into the abdomen, slowly). As you take these deep breaths see in your minds eye all tension leaving you on exhale. Now you relax each member of your body in turn beginning with your feet, left, than right, on up the legs, see the muscles letting go and relaxing. Remember the buttocks, the small of the back, the face and head, be carful not to clinch the teeth - all must be relaxed.
Now that you are relaxed begin taking slow deep breaths; attempt to feel the Serpent Gods around you, coursing about you. Feel the Serpents enter you, becoming one with you. As you become one with The Serpent Gods, begin the Serpents Breath by producing a hissing sound upon exhalation (sssssssssssssssssss) and on inhale a similar sound, you will have to experiment with this sounding, since you are not present with me to show you exactly what I mean, but it is the sound of a irritated serpent. (If you are interested I could send you a Wav file by e-mail so you may hear the sound as it is being produced, to get a better understanding of the sounds.
Continue this until you are ready to quit, you will know what I mean as you practice the exercise. Do not be alarmed if you feel somewhat light headed after practicing for about 10 minutes, this is normal. You may also experience, tingling, heat, etc. these sensations are all normal as the energy of The Serpent Gods surges though you.
Please let us know if you enjoy this exercise, as we like to hear feedback from those who may benefit from our ways.
