THE FOUR ELEMENTS IN WITCHCRAFT AND MAGIC,
Most times a lot of people talks about element's without really understanding what these elements stand's for, and when you ask them to make peace with their element's, you will be tag demonic, but the truth remains that these elements are our helpers in these physical realms and by getting to know a little more about each of the Four Elements, we can work on each of their energies and combine them with our energy during our day-to-day practice of Witch--craft and Magic and also during spells.
But first, let’s remember the Pentagram: our mind must be elevated, “over” matter to be able to have a higher quality connection with the Elementals, to tame the Nature Spirits energies and use them correctly.
Therefore, we must pay attention to some things:
It is important to realize that the element of Fire is not only the same as a flame;
The Water element is not only the same as the liquid we drink;
The Earth element is not just what we step on;
And the Air element is not just what we breathe;
These elements are life, intuition, purification, and emotion;
These energy's flows with their own characteristics that meet the very aspects of life in general.
They are very much connected with our emotions, the human psyche, and with nature.
THE FOUR ELEMENTS REPRESENT ENERGETICALLY?
In addition to knowing the symbology to use as pentacles or sigils, it is necessary to know what the Four Elements represent magically and energetically.
For example:
The fire element represents energy, transformation, and strength. Fire is the power of both creation and destruction.
The air element represents communication, intuition, and understanding. Air represents the intellect.
The water element represents movement, adaptation, and emotions. Water is linked to feeling, to love or lack of it.
The earth element represents growth, development, and fortification. Earth is what is tangible, solid.
Knowing this, we can better understand which Element we should connect to for different purposes.
THE NATURE SPIRITS: THE FOUR ELEMENTALS
We know that the elements are the basis of everything we know and that they took shape.
We immediately ask ourselves: What forms are these?
These forms are called “Elementals”, “Elemental Beings of Nature”, “Elemental Spirits” or simply “Nature Spirits”.
They are living, pulsating, energetic beings that personify the Four Elements.
Here’s a list of Elemental Spirits:
Gnomes (Earth Elemental);
Undines (Water Elemental);
Sylphs (Air Elemental);
Salamanders (Fire Elemental).
These are not their real names in our African Tongues, we call them by different names in Africa,
Similar to the Four Elements, the Four Elementals carry the same characteristics and symbols.
However, as they have a consolidated form, each of them has unique characteristics.
THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF THE NATURE SPIRITS
Each of the Nature Spirits has a different physical form.
So let’s see what each of them looks like,
WHAT DO THE GNOMES LOOK LIKE?
