Since they’re of the same series, I would imagine that this comment applies as well to this NFT. So, it sounds like you are already extending your thoughts processes. Good for you!

Too bad that entry doesn’t take into account the lovely hues that come when burning certain compounds (even in common wood).

We just had lots of fun soaking pine cones in various solutions, letting them dry and tossing them into our fireplace at recent parties. Such lovely colors of greens, blues, even some otherworldly purples.

I was walking my dog the other day and he stops while staring at something. So I go look at what he staring at, it was the scariest huge (about 1foot tall) pitbull like looking lizard standing there. I freak the hell out and walk away then decided to go back to see what the hell it was and it just disappeared. Then it hit me, it was a salamander, had to be a elemental to disappear like that. Man that thing was creepy looking. Since my dog saw it to, usually safe to say it was real. I took that as a sign to buy this one after working with the mermaid one for awhile

Paracelsus, a Swiss physician and alchemist from the 16th century, was known for his concept of “elementals,” which were thought to be spirits or entities that dwelled in the natural world and were associated with the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water. Paracelsus believed that elementals could be harnessed and used for various purposes, such as healing and divination.

According to Paracelsus, elementals were divided into four categories, each corresponding to one of the elements. These categories were known as gnomes (earth), undines (water), sylphs (air), and salamanders (fire).

Gnomes were said to be small, earth-dwelling creatures that were associated with the mineral kingdom and had the power to heal and protect.

Undines were believed to be water nymphs that were associated with the world of emotions and were said to possess the power of healing and transformation.

Sylphs were thought to be airy spirits that were associated with the realm of the mind and were believed to possess the power of communication and mental clarity.

Finally, salamanders were believed to be fiery spirits that were associated with the world of energy and passion and were thought to possess the power of transformation and creativity.

Overall, Paracelsus’ concept of elementals was influential in the development of various occult and esoteric traditions, and it continues to be a source of inspiration for many practitioners today.

Paracelsus was a renowned Swiss physician, alchemist, and philosopher who lived during the Renaissance period. He was known for his experimental approach to medicine and his belief in the fundamental principles of alchemy. One of the substances that he worked with extensively was the salamander.

In alchemy, the salamander was believed to be a creature of great power, associated with the element of fire. It was thought to have the ability to live in fire, and was therefore considered a symbol of transformation and regeneration. Paracelsus believed that the salamander contained within it the secrets of transmutation, and that by understanding its properties, he could unlock the secrets of alchemy.

Paracelsus experimented with the salamander in various ways. He studied its physical properties and attempted to extract its essence, which he believed had medicinal properties. He also used the salamander as a symbol in his work, using its image to represent the transformative power of fire and the process of spiritual regeneration.

One of Paracelsus’ most famous works is his treatise on the nature of the salamander, called “Liber de Nymphis, sylphis, pygmæis et salamandris et de caeteris spiritibus”. In this work, he describes the salamander as a creature of great power, associated with the element of fire. He also explores the mystical properties of the salamander, describing it as a symbol of the divine spark within all living things.

Overall, Paracelsus’ work with the salamander was an important part of his exploration of alchemy and his belief in the transformative power of fire. While his theories and methods may seem outdated today, his work laid the groundwork for modern chemistry and contributed to our understanding of the natural world.

It’s useful as it burns away my lust but i am not able to expand my thoughts enough to use it in a more ways, does anyone have good tips?

Chatgpt

Chatgpt lacks creativity required to realize full potential of these Servitors. For example one thing i tried was asking Salamander to burn away all bad karma and intrusive thoughts (first i had to conceptualize karma as unconscious memory in order for servitor to work properly) and then sylph to lift up positive elements of good karma, resulting in something similar to karma crucible.

I have requested in the NFT Buying/Selling, but I would love to get this. Doesn’t have to be permanent, will rent/trade. Who likes free money?
