Elements: Chaos, order and the five elemental forces

Description:

A remarkable compendium of diverse and evocative imagery exploring the wide-ranging and profound associations of the five natural elements, masterfully curated by image alchemist and cult social media figure Stephen Ellcock.

Elements is an eclectic, evocative and resoundingly beautiful treasury of imagery exploring depictions of the elemental forces that reveal their profound significance to ancient philosophers, alchemists and astrologers, and modern artists, photographers and scientists alike. Expertly curated, themed and paired by image alchemist Stephen Ellcock, modern and visionary images are juxtaposed with the ancient and arcane; the creative power of the elements is contrasted with the disastrous; and the connections of the elements with the seasons, the humours, the signs of the zodiac and parts of the body are revealed.

Following physician and occultist Robert Fludd’s (1574–1637) presentation of the order of the elements, Ellcock guides readers through a remarkable selection of images, ascending from earth, through water, air and fire before culminating in the most spiritual of the elements, celestial aether. He makes parallels with the five elements of eastern philosophies and their relationship to the chakras, acupuncture and Chinese astrology. Introductory text explores how the elements have defined the components of Earth and the heavens and their relationship to humanity since they were first proposed by the Persian prophet Zoroaster, more than 2,000 years ago. Insightful panel texts punctuate the pages, illuminating key concepts. Pertinent literary, philosophical and spiritual quotations intersperse the amazing images, presenting further commentary on the overarching themes.

At a time when humanity’s relationship with the Earth teeters on the edge of catastrophe, this compendium of images exploring the natural elements promises the possibility of earthly and spiritual harmony emerging from the chaos.

A.B. · 9 November 2024

Non fiction isn't my usual genre, but I'm so glad that Tandem sent me a copy for a Readalong. It's a beautiful book to take your time with. It teaches you about the history of the elements and goes into detail of each one with beautiful illustrations and photos. I'm air for my star sign Gemini and I definitely feel an infinity for air after reading and reflecting on this book.A gorgeous book for a gift.

The only non fiction books that I normally read are biographies so this book was very different for me. I found the book interesting and fascinating and I enjoyed reading and learning about the different elements. Also the pictures and the diagrams in the book were beautiful and fitted in well with the book. I really enjoyed this book and I will definitely be reading more by the author and other non fiction books. I highly recommend it.

This is such a brilliant book. It is full of information, from background and descriptions to stunning pieces of art and history. It shares the elements and you can match with your element or even that which you feel most connected with, and learn more of the background and beauty behind it.I absolutely enjoyed reading every element, the history of philosophy behind what makes up the world and humans in general, as it is interesting to see how the mindset of what makes us has evolved over time.Overall, this was an interesting and very stunning book. It is a slower read purely for the fact that you take in all the information and really enjoy the art and depictions throughout.

Très Beau livre !

Livro ótimo, entrega horrível

L.O. · 16 April 2025

O conteúdo do livro é excelente, mas ele não veio embalado em plástico, e as bordas estão totalmente puidas, com aspecto de livro usado. Não consigo presentear dessa forma (era a intenção). Péssimo, péssimo, péssimo.

Another one!
