Elements and Elementals The four elements of nature: Earth, Air, Fire and Water are the very foundations of creation and the basis of life itself. Ancient myths and theories tell us that the Divine Beings sent to the fledgling earth (then a smoldering pot of confusion being created), four Spirits to bring about order out of chaos. As the rays of their celestial bodies made contact with the crystallized influences of the lower world, they became the four elements linking humankind to nature, the heavens and the Divine. (George Knowles) Calling upon the Elements in your work can bring very powerful results. The elements represent natural magick, the most ancient and powerful magick. Our world is viewed of in terms of four physical elements - earth, water, air and fire (which roughly correspond to the four scientific forms of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma) - plus spirit. Together, these elements form a united whole, as is symbolized in the pentagram. All are necessary and should be in balance. The Elements
can be used to balance yourself and are symbolic of spiritual and
emotional attributes as well as the physical. Using the Elements
in Magic can lend it greater significance and power, so it is worth
taking a bit of time to make the right associations. However, with
the exception of Earth, working with the Elements can be very dangerous,
especially fire. They can be very addictive, unpredictable and destructible.
