You have probably heard of a person obtaining the lock of another person’s hair to use as a basis for casting a “spell” upon the person from whom the lock of hair was taken. The hair does not merely represent the person from whom it was taken, but is actually said to be “in sympathy” with that person. Here the word “sympathy” has the earlier, somewhat archaic meaning of “being closely related” and not the modern meaning of “feeling sorry for someone” or “having similar feeling or emotions as another person.” That is the reason that this type of spellcasting is frequently called “sympathetic magick.”

Other things could be used to represent and be in sympathy with another person. A picture, a piece of clothing, parings from the person’s fingernails or toenails, a drawing, or a doll could all be used to relate to the person. Expanding on this, we can find that there are many things that could correspond to a person. It is in this way that lists of correspondences can be set up, as was the list of Kabalistic correspondences given in an earlier lesson.

The four elements have correspondences, too. Here is a list of some possible correspondences.
