An elemental is a mythic supernatural being that is described in occult and alchemical works from around the time of the European Renaissance, and particularly elaborated in the 16th century works of Paracelsus. According to Paracelsus and his subsequent followers, there are four categories of elementals, which are gnomes, undines, sylphs, and salamanders. These correspond to the four elements of antiquity: earth, water, air, and fire, respectively.

Joel goes even deeper into Liber De Nymphis to explore Paracelsus’s ideas on the monstras, namely Giants and Dwarfs. He starts by examining what Paracelsus had to say about the nymph, Venus, and her representation of the Divine Feminine that has been passed down since early Mesopotamian culture. He then goes into the construction of the Giants and Dwarfs and if they have the ability to obtain a soul like some of the other elementals. Lastly, Joel looks at the Bible to see if what Paracelsus says lines up with Scripture as a man professing to be a “real” theologian.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
