Earth
Earth is the elemen we are closest
to home with, since it is our home. Earth doesn't necessarily represent the physical earth, but that part of it which is stable,
solid and dependable. Earth is the realm of abundance, prosperity and wealth. While it is the most physical of the elements
this is not negative, for it is upon earth that the other three rest. Withouth earth, life as we know it could not exist.

Air
Air is the element of the intellect;
it is the realm of thought, which is the first stop toward creations. Magicakally speaking, Air is the clear, unclutters,
pure visualization which is a powerful tool for change. It is also the movement, the impetus that sends the visualization
out toward manifestation. It rules spells and rituals involving travel, instruction, freedom, obtaining knowledge, discovering
lost items, uncovering lies and so on. It can also be used to develop the psychic faculties. Spells involving air usually
include the act of placing an object in the air or dropping something off the side of a mountain or other high places so theat
the object actually connects physically with the element. Air is masculine, being dry, expansive and active. It is the element
that excels in places of learning, and which is at work while we theorize, think and ponder. Air rules because this is the
direction of the greatest light, and the lift of wisdom and consciousness. Its color is yellow, the yellow fo the Sun and
the sky at dawn. Air governs the magick of the four winds, most divination, concentration and visualization magick. Direction
