Air, Fire, Water, and Earth: These are the four basic elements used in many disiplcines, from astrology to Oriental medicine. Within all wiccan tradition, these four essences make up the phsyical and nonphsyical Universe. If you remaind mindful of the forces of the four elements in your life-in any way you feel them- you will become more aware of your surroundings and more in control of your own energy. The system of the five elements (the fifth being spirit) is just that: a system. It's a way of defining the world. It helps us to keep a balance in our lives, and it helps us to call on a particular part of ourselves when we need it. That's not to say the elements aren't real. They are as real as you choose to make them. I will outline below their meaning in Wiccan magic and ritual.
