Ancient Greek philosophers broke down the universe into four basic elements, or 'basic archai.' Today these elements are known as earth, air, fire, and water and are the basis for all life on earth. They have even made their way into spiritual, religious. and occult practices along with the concept of 'spirit' or 'aether;' sometimes referred to as the 5th element. "Magick for the Elemental Witch" explores each of these five elements in depth with correspondences from a variety of belief systems, lore, mythology, creation stories, how to honor in ritual and altars, spell work, divination, meditation and more.
Excerpt
In Pagan practices--particularly those based on Greek, Roman, or Celtic traditions--the basic elements are: earth, air, water, fire. These elements represent the world around us: the ground we walk on, the air we breath, bodies of water, and the heat of the sun. The also represent our bodies: we are made up of water, our blood is fire, earth is our body, and air is in our lungs. These elements are everything to us. They are life.
