Air Air is the element of the intellect; it is the realm of thought, which is the first step toward creation. Magically 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. |

The
Shadow Side of Air It is the paranoid mind, sweating in its own delusion, panic attacks, the voices you hear in your head. Nervous breakdowns, depression, your own thoughts turning against you - it is the epitome of self-delusion, and the mind deceiving the body. |

| The
Origin of the Symbol for Air
The Sword-Symbol as a means of controlling the Element of Air may seem puzzling at first, but when we recall that it was originally an Arrow (which is a flying sword), the sense of the Symbol appears. An Arrow depended on its feathered flights for accuracy, and the feathers of course had to come from some bird whose element the Air was. |
