The Elements

The Elements play an enormous role in nature and energy workings.

Earth, Air, Fire and Water are more than physical elements, more than what we see and feel, they are symbolic of both physical, spiritual and emotional attributes.

Take the time to contemplate them.

What does Earth mean to you?
What about Water, Fire, Air?

Consider these elements in their physical form first, then see what spiritual and emotional aspects you attribute to them.

All the elements have certain characteristics, but maybe they will have a deeper meaning to you once you’ve explored your insights and feelings concerning them.

I bring the elements into all my magickal workings, my art, meditations, healings. It is an empowering way to live, bringing focus back into everything we are made of in nature and enhancing our connection with the universe. We and everything we are and touch, literal stardust, the very building blocks of the cosmos.

Bringing the elements into daily life simplifies and uncomplicates, brings perspective.
