Elements

The four classical Elements,
embodying the Primitives of magick,
the very foundation of Nature.

As the base and the core of all,
each distinct in virtue and composition,
as strong in Solitude
as in Conjunction.

Heed their voices in song,
to rise up and make manifest
what sacred notes they behold.

The traditional elements are the building blocks of Nature and serve as the basic tools of magick. Individually and in combination, they provide a connection between the mundane and ethereal planes through their qualities and definitions.

Earth
Physical - Endurance and strength

Health, fertility, prosperity, stability

Earth is a fertile element. It is nurturing and stable, solid and firm, full of unyielding strength. Earth provides the foundation for all aspects of life. Focusing on this element renders a simple grounding and centering.

Air
Intellectual - Insight and knowledge

Mental abilities, psychic abilities, sleep and dreams

Air provides the breath of life and is connected to the imagination. It aids in magick related to communication or the powers of the mind. Air can disperse troubles, waft away strife, and carry constructive thoughts near and far.

Fire
Spiritual - Passion and courage

Protection, bravery, renewal, desire

Fire is a reactive element, connected to strong will, courage, and passion. It is transformative; it both creates and destroys. It breaks down what is unneeded or unwanted, then forges something new.
