The elements are an integral part of wicca and witchcraft, not only in the way we use them in spellwork and rituals, but also in our everyday lives. Honoring nature and the elements is a very important part of the Wiccan way.
The elements are the energy of the universes in four basic states: air, fire, water and earth. There is also a fifth universal power beyond the four visible elements which is Spirit.
These four elements are manifested in physical reality, through pure air, winds, heat and light, rain, oceans, rivers and land, trees, plants and crystals.
The elements of magic not only cover your physical nature, but also have qualities in the spiritual dimension: their psychic or spiritual meanings. These can be used to develop a deeper understanding of our true nature because we embody both the spiritual qualities of each element and the physical ones.
The elements are known as the Guardians of the Barracks. The guardians of each element work to protect the circle and witness any rites or magic, enhancing and balancing procedures and assisting in the manifestation of magical goals. When we invoke them during rituals and spell crafting, we are invoking their essence to join us and infuse our work.
Integrate and be in tune with each element, positive forces can help us on a day-to-day basis.
– keep its power within us and a positive state of mind.
– manifesting dreams, hopes and goals.
– quickly achieve what we want by performing rituals, whether complex or simple.
– follow a life faithful to nature and ourselves and connect to a higher spiritual level.
