Fire represents passion, enthusiasm, desire
and courage, force, lust, fertility
and virility, initiative and rejuvenation.
It represents both light and heat.
The light of intelligence and the
fire of courage to follow it. A
low Fire person is usually cold,
slow to act, without enthusiasm
 for life or him/herself. A high
Fire person is bold, dramatic and
 passionate in all areas in his/
herself, however this person must
be careful as fire can destroy
everything in its path. Fire magic
can bring on the new, bring on courage
and passion and destroy the old.

 The different types of Fire Magic
are Bonfire Magic, which usually

or petition of which you have written
your desire. It is used for banishing,
 ridding, or destroying negative
 influences in your life.
~*~

Another is Candle Magic, a simple
easy and useful method in bringing
about your desires. A color for the
candle is chosen and can also include
the correct scent in relation to your
desire and lit sometimes for up to
seven days. This type of Fire Magic
is usually for any type of desire.

Another is Sun Magic. Using the
Sun in our desires is a beautiful
way in which to enhance new beginnings
in love, health, work and home,
awaken subtle powers and aid in
attraction desires.
 ~*~

AIR

Air represents mental activity, thoughts,
reason and intellect, memory, knowledge,
 persuasion, birth and friendship, freedom,
clarification and expression. A low Air
person seems without any direction and
 unable to define nor visualize any future
and cannot reason out the alternatives
and objectives. A high Air person is at
 ease in complex situations and can sit
and think things through, and can carry
through with decisions.

~*~

is Spring, its direction is East/Mental,
the symbol is the Wand, Athame or the
smoke of the incense. Its colors are
White, Lt. Blues, Yellows and Green.
 Moon phase is the First quarter and

~*~

Different types of Air Magic include
Visualizations. An important tool in
any magic work, it makes the events
happen. For this type, it is important
that all the other factors such as
color, time, the moon phase, winds,
etc., are all in balance. And to have
the other tools working such as incense
and candle burning, or even the right
tea or wine to drink in the background.
This is because you need to "fix" or
"ground" the images or ideas you are
using in your visualizations.
 ~*~

As our thoughts are extremely powerful,
as are our Words. Words can be put
together in such a way as to form spells,
or used in channeling your power.
Words give rise to our desires and
 released upon the winds for attainment.
Created and repeated with intensity
and concentration is a powerful magic
 in itself. You do not have to be an
accomplished linguist to accomplish this,
 just a simple sentence will do. It creates
an atmosphere of concentrated awareness
and strength. Can be used in moments
of stress or fear, and will create the
magic itself. It does not have to be
said aloud, say them to yourself
if need or want be.
 ~*~

 Another Air Magic is Mirror Magic. It
can help in overcoming inner problems
and also help with difficult personal
decisions. It uses both the word and
visualization forms in its use and can
also aid in being able to visualize a
future event. Sometimes, used as a
Scrying Tool, in which you are able
 to "see" possible future events.
~*~

 WATER

Ah Water, the symbol of our emotions.
Water imbibes all life forms and in
 us we flow with the "tide" of our
feelings. It involves intuition, insight,
conception and pregnancy, fertility,
the womb, health, beauty and divination.
A low water person outwardly would
appear as a cold and calculating one,
one who is indifferent and unresponsive.
On the other hand, a high water person
may seem as though at the slightest
touch, the well is opened and can be
over-emotional and over dramatic in all
areas of life. A good balance of
water here is needed to keep the
flow running smoothly.
      ~*~

Its feelings are cold moisture, its
season is Fall, dire direction is West/Emotion
and its colors are Blue, Light Grays,
Sea Greens and Whites. The Moon phase
is the Full Moon and its time is Dusk.
 The symbols are the Cup or Chalice.

Some Water Magic can involve the use
of the beach and its sand, shells, animals,
and sea water. Especially good for
love spells and too, when you need to
"get a grip" or clarify your own emotions.
The use of shells in the practice is
widely used. These can hold appropriate
herbs or be used as a symbol of water magic.
~*~

One old tradition is using that of well water.
A lot of gems and stones are exposed to
this for a period of time and used at
night, in full moon or the waxing
phases, for water magic. Be careful
tho' to know your stones, as some do
not react well in water for long
periods of time. This type of magic
can give you insights to how others
 think of you, what others are doing
and how well they are and to find
 the truth within yourself. Be careful
when using this type also, if there is
an intent of maliciousness or control
of another, all you will get is a reflection
back unto yourself.
  ~*~

Water spells can involve the use
of Scrying bowls. This is a bowl of
clear or colored water in which you are
able to "see" the future and future events
or get a clear direction on decisions.
Widely used in certain meditations and
visualizations.
 ~*~

EARTH

Finally we come the element of Earth.
The source and provider of all our needs.
Represents sensations, decay, patience,
balance, stability, strength, health,
warmth and comfort, animals and animal
 instincts, farming and physical labor.
~*~

Its feeling is dry and cold, its season
is Winter, its colors are Browns, Blacks,
Purples, and some Greens. Its symbol is
the Pentacle or Rice, Salt or grain in
a brass or terra cotta bowl or a Stone.
Its Moon phase is the Fourth Quarter
and its favored time is Midnight. A high
Earth person seems a practical sort and
quite "down to earth". A hard worker,
stable and a good provider. Can be
a little too stubborn sometimes however.
A low Earth person can seem confused,
insecure and alone, unable to feel wanted
and the work may be affected.
~*~

Earth Magic can involve the use of
herbs and plants. Using the correct
 herb to help attain your desire along
with the other tools can be very effective.
Burying things and making some offerings
to the earth such as planting trees is
also a form of Earth Magic. Using your
gems or crystals and burying them in the
earth under the appropriate tree while
making your wish is also effective.
~*~

Another type which is considered Earth
Magic is any type of routine magic.
Anything you do on a routine basis can
be used as a magical vehicle. While
performing something you do at the same
time everyday, prepare yourself and use
this period for clarity on a subject,
figure the best course of action in a
situation or to find just where you
are in the course of your life.
