The Elements
Yellow is the color of Air:
Of winds blown strong and winds blown fair.
Red belongs to flames and Fire,
Burning brightly on the pyre.
If Water is your quest, use blue
Tides rise and fall in azure hue.
The tint of Mother Earth is green...
Calm and peaceful and serene.
In your mind, these colors gel:
And they will serve you very well!
The Elements - Air, Fire, Water, and Earth - play a major role in our day-to-day existence. That's because everything on our planet is either comprised of them singularly, or in one combination or another. And because it's an Earth-based religion, the Elements also play an integral part in the rituals, magic, and celebratory processes of Wicca.
Here's how it works. Each Element has two poles or forces: one active and the other passive. When the Element is in active mode, it works in a positive manner and its energy takes shape in very creative and constructive ways. When the Element is in passive mode, however, its force becomes destructive. This results in negative energy, which, of course, is something we can all do without.
Each Element also has specific scientific qualities or principles. These are important because they make the Elements pull together as a team. In fact, when all the Elements are used in equal combination, they form static electricity. It's something that we not only use daily in technology, but the exact substance we create when we cast a ritual circle.
There's more. Because we live on Earth, our bodies are also comprised of a combination of the Elements. This means that each Element rules particular body regions, vital organs, and human functions. When we feel out of sorts or get sick, it's because our chi (life force) isn't flowing properly-and this is a direct result of personal Element imbalance.
