Air
"Borrowed"
Air is the element of the intellect; it is the realm of
thought, which is the first step toward creation.
Magickally speaking, Air is the clear, uncluttered, pure
visualization which is a powerful tool for change. It is
also the movement, the impetus that sends the
visualization out toward manifestation. It rules spells
and rituals involving travel, instruction, freedom,
obtaining knowledge, discovering lost items, uncovering
lies and so on. It can also be used to develop the
psychic faculties. Spells involving Air usually include
the act of placing an object in the air or dropping
something off the side of a mountain or other high places
so that the object actually connects physically with the
element. Air is masculine, being dry, expansive and
active. It is the element that excels in places of
learning, and which is at work while we theorize, think
and ponder. Air rules the East because this is the
direction of the greatest light, and the light of wisdom
and consciousness. Its color is yellow, the yellow of the
Sun and the sky at dawn. Air governs the magick of the
four winds, most divination. concentration and
visualization magick.
