(So below) Book of Shadows Vol. II - The Suits of Elementals (Correspondences), are as follows:
In the Minor Arcana, the Elemental correspondences, replace the traditional suit names as commonly known. The traditional suit name are Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. In the Book of Shadows Vol. II, the suit names are as follows Salamanders (Wands), Undines (Chalices), Sylphs (Swords), and Gnomes (Pentacles). Each one represents the elements of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth energies.
You will notice that each suits has it's elemental (symbols) depicted in each cards image. unlike the traditional where you will see, ie: 6 of Swords with images of 6 swords, or 8 of wands, with 8 wands flying through the air. Instead you will see, ie: 6 of Swords a Sylph flying in the air, and the 8 of Wands, a Salamander sitting on an energy orb that's emanating from the Solar Plexus Chakra.
The Suit of Salamanders - Fire - Wands
The fire spirits are called Salamanders
The Suit of Undines - Water - Chalices
The water spirits are called Undines.
The Suit of Sylphs - Air - Swords
The air spirits are called Sylphs
The Suit of Gnomes - Earth - Pentacles
The earth spirits are called Gnomes
*******************************************************************
I will post on each suit below, in separate posts, in the sequence that they are originally laid out in, in the LWB that the deck came with.
*******************************************************************
Mental Note:If you are one, that likes to cleanse your deck by putting it back in it's original order. The order is as follows.
(1)Suit of Undines, Ace - King
(2)Suit of Gnomes, Ace - King
(3)Suit of Salamanders, Ace - King
(4)Suit of Sylphs, Ace - King
*******************************************************************
ETA: Done for now, should I have anything else to add to each post in the future I will.
Thanks

LWB: said:"Each suit has an Elemental correspondence. so we can see at a glance what kind of energy is involved in or influencing the situation in question."
