The Elements of Magick

It’s impossible to talk about magick without also talking about the natural elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

The earth is beneath us, and provides stability and nourishment. We inhale and exhale air, and require it to live. Fire gives us heat, and cooks our food. We also require water, and our bodies are made up of over 60% of it.

Rituals incorporate these natural elements because everything in the Universe is made up of a combination of them. When we place natural elements on our altar, they act as batteries to power our spell.

In the last episode, we talked about intention. Depending on your desired outcome, you can use the power of the elements to reinforce your spell, as well as your personal power. 

The philosopher Aristotle later supported the theory of four basic elements, and also added the element of “ether” which is now thought of as “space”. 

While the discussion of space is outside the scope of what I teach, my personal opinion is that Aristotle’s “ether” is the invisible substance which holds the stars in the sky, controls gravity, and most importantly - is the invisible astral plane where magick actually happens. 

By the way, all of the elements of nature are contained within the human body, which makes YOU inherently magickal. Always remember that!
