Currently Working on the Magia et Salamandrae, involving Nature's hot-headed sons and daughters, the Spirits of Fire.

Maybe a Magia Ondinarum, involving the Spirits of Water will follow.
It would be nice to find another two ways to say the essentially the same thing in Latin for the other two Kingdoms. Does Sylphes Magiaque work? I'd have to come up with something for the Gnomes.

The Three Sisters, Singing Fate

I posted some of the Songs of Fate a while ago. Here is Song VI to add to the list:

Take heart, child,
Whoever you are,
Wherever your home,
Whatever you face.

We spin no cloth
You cannot wear.
We sing no burden
You cannot bear.

. . . from working most of the afternoon with Salamanders, the Fire Spirits of Nature. There are tips to safely working with them. First of all, you should be well acquainted with one of the Great Kings of Fire (MLKIM h-ASh) -- Djin, say, or Pyrrum, Aftif, or Itumo. Then the small fries (no pun intended), i.e., lesser fire spirits, will recognize your authority or, at the very least, tolerate your presence. Second, approach them in as high a state of consciousness as you can. A cross between calm benevolence and honor works very well with them. Tempestuous emotion will make you their plaything. They are hot enough as it is, so there is no need to feed them your human fire. Third, know their names and use them politely.
