| The Elements Earth Earth is our mother. It's as fertile and nurturing as farmland; as moist as soil and as dry as sand. In its physical manifestations (such as stones), Earth represents the densest of the elements. Press your hand against fresh dirt. Fell it's stability its earthiness. Know that within its fertile surface we've raised our food; on it we live our lives; within it we bury our deceased. We couldn't exist in this form without the earth.

Air Scientists and magicians may have different views concerning this element, but all agree that it's vital to human survival. Without air, we would perish. Air is the power of movement; of freshening and of intelligence. It's the invisible and yet quite real mixture of gases that we breathe in every day. In magical terms, Air is also the power of the mind: the force of Intellect. Go to a place with clean air and breathe deeply. Touch a feather. Inhale the fragrance of a heavily scented flower. Study an intricately patterned leaf. Experience the wonders of the manifestations of this element. Remember, too, that we possess Air energy within ourselves.

Unlike the other elements, Fire cannot exist in physical form without consuming something else. Thus, fire transforms objects into new forms: heat, light, ash, and smoke. On Sunny day, go outside at noon and press your receptive hand against a warm rock. Smell the smoke from a burning fire. Gaze into a candle's flame. Immerse yourself in Fire energy, and realize that it also exists within ourselves. Fire must be controlled to be of benefit to us. When we light a candle, we call upon its powers but also limit them. This is necessary if its physical forms are to be of use. But een a raging forest fire actually helps the Earth, clearing away underbrush and encouraging dormant seeds to burst into new life.

Feel its cool liquidity; it's soft touch. Listen to water trickling into a pool. As you do these things, remember that we contain Water energy within ourselves as well.
