The Elements of Life

Without Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit we have no Life.

It takes each of these, in equal balance, to sustain and nurture life, they encompass the All.

These Elements acknowledged, empower us and keep us anchored to this Earth,
with the Air giving us breath,
the Water quenching our thirst,
the Fire warming our hearts,
with Spirit connecting us to the Divine.

Everywhere is sacred space,
in acknowledging and recognising all the Elements in balance
we allow ourselves to  see and live the sanctity around us.
Within our Circle, for this space of time, we are one in honour and intent.

So  mote it be.

Spirit

Element of Divinity

Spirit is the Centre

It is unification, magic, transformation.

Spirit is before birth and after death, it is infinite.

Spirit is the spiral, it is the cauldron, it is change.

Without Spirit there is no colour, there is no emotion.

Without Spirit there is no love and no honour.

Spirit is Life itself
Water

Element of Fertility


Water is the beginning of life, she is Mother.

With water we purify both body and soul.

Water bears life within it, it provides sustenance.
It's water that transports the seed of life,
water that buoys it within the womb,
water that carries nourishment to both plant and animal alike.

Water is Autumn rain and sunset.

Without water we thirst.

Our emotions would have no depth, our world would not exist, time would not flow

Fire

Element of Transformation

With Fire we warm our homes, we cook our food, we light our night.

Fire is Male, personified in the heat of the day and Summer of the Year.

Without Fire our passion would not burn, our world would not exist.

Water would not move, Air would not rise, Earth would not live.



Earth


Element of Home

It is Earth we live on, it is Earth we grow our food in, it is Earth we build our shelters from, it is Earth we ground ourselves in.

Earth is all things feminine, Spring of the Year and dawn of our day.

Without Earth we starve.

Without Earth we have no direction, we have no ground

Air

Element of Intellect

Air is the breath of life

With Air we share our thoughtd and our dreams, upon the currents of Air our thoughts soar.

Air is Father Sky, Air is the cold of Winter.

 Air is midnight.

Without Air we suffocate, without Air life cannot exist, without the fresh breeze we would parch
