   Thanks for joining.   
      
   Hermes Trismegistus is perhaps alchemy˘s most important ancient   
   figure, and a patriarch of the art. He was the god of mathematics,   
   writing and scholars; the reason why alchemy is now often known as   
   the "Hermetic Art". Many believe he also designed the Hanging Gardens   
   of Babylon, built several pyramids and even taught the great   
   mathematician Pythagoras as well as Moses.   
      
   Yet as busy as he was :) he did sort out the 7 elements of the   
   universe. Here they are along with their HP book title equivalents.   
      
   STONE - Earth (it's core material)   
   CHAMBER - Air (which resides within any Chamber such as your lungs)   
   AZKABAN (island in the) - Water   
   FIRE ;)   
   PHOENIX - Quintessence - coming together of the first four Elements   
   BLOOD - Soul (Rosicrucian symbolism i.e. the blood inherent in it)   
   HALLOW (Holy) - Spirit (God, The Divine One); All Hallows Eve!   
      
   Coincidental? Hard to believe since both the order of the elements and   
   the order of the books are in, well, /order/ ;)
