How have the Elements been used historically? How can one connect on a deep spiritual level with each element? How can the Elements be used in a spiritual way? What are the types of each elements? What are the tools of each element? These are some questions this guide will help answer.
There are four basic elements: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. Plus a higher fifth element, Spirit. Spirit is the magical fountain within each of us; our individual source. Spirit brings all the basic four elements together to work in harmony with each other. Each element is associated with very specific correspondences and used in specific ways based on their nature. Water is associated with healing, emotions, and intuition. It is sometimes referred to as the element of movement, as water is constantly in motion, and is often used for cleansing, purifying, clarifying, and healing the body and mind, but is also destructive and deadly. Water can take life just as easily as it gives life. Earth known as the solid element, is the element of stability, grounding, endurance, abundance, and stubbornness. Earth is often unyielding, but other times light as a feather and easily moved. It is from the Earth that plants grow and thrive, providing an abundant life source of food. Earth is often used for grounding and centering, to make things stick, or to bring abundance and prosperity. Fire represents passion, enthusiasm, love, and transformation, and is very unpredictable and volatile. It is often used to spark innovation, increase vitality and vigor, as well as speed up things, or transformations. Fire is a potent ally. Finally, Air is the most elusive of the elements because we cannot easily see it. Air is the element of communication, knowledge, and wisdom, but can be flighty at times. Air is often used to carry messages, especially to the Universe, spirits, deities, and our ancestors, through the use of incense. Air is also used to aid in communication between two parties on our plane of existence and to bring wisdom.
