Elements There are 5 elements: Spirit When doing spells, chants, or rituals, you call the 4 quarters for power and protection. Each Tower is ruled by different seasons, spirits, and elements. The 4 Towers are East, South, West and North. When you call the WatchTowers and invite them into whatever you are doing, you correspond the 4 Towers with the Elements. East is Air South is Fire West is Water North is Earth The Lord and Lady, and the guardians of the towers, are the Spirits. When you're doing a spell, it is important to make sure you have the right Tower as a bigger influence over the others in certain spells. Here's what each Tower represents: Earth-Love, healing, money, acquisition, employment, health, organization, goals, ambition, career, politics, persuasion, bones, teeth, skin. Air-Communication, writing, travel, justice, unions, balance, artistry, science, freedom, understanding, clarity, friendship, breaking bad habits or addictions. Fire-Authority, rebirth, leadership, courage, fertility, spine, heart, travel, sports, truth, horses. Water-The home and honoring lunar god/desses, power, psychic growth, music, art, telepathy, dreams, prophecy. Spirit-It is said to combine all the others into one final divine element. Since you cannot physically obtain a spirit, it's simply the power within you to strengthen and seal your magick. Here is 1 way to cast your circle, for those of you who don't know how. Ok, first things first. A circle is created with energy, and you are the director or that energy. Now when you pick the spot to do your circle, the most important thing is MAKE SURE YOUR HAVE ENOUGH SPACE! Breaking the circle is not exactly taboo, but it is very bad because you can leave a hole letting in evil spirits and negative energy. Now, being at North. Point your athame, wand, finger, or whatever you use towards the ground and see the energy flowing out. Begin to walk clockwise and walk the circumference of the circle. While doing this, image a circle forming on the ground and slowly rising over your head, expanding way above you. Half of it is above the ground, you are walking on a plane through the diameter, and the other half is below the ground. Ta da! The circle is cast. To close a circle, pick up your athame, wand, finger, or whatever you used to cast it and walk to the corner at which you started and begin at east. Point your directional tool at the boundry of the circle and begin to walk counter-clockwise until you complete the circle. While your doing this, imaging the circle coming down back into the ground and the power back into whatever you used. When you have finished, say "The circle is open, but unbroken." Elemental spirits are the embodiments of each individual element. Gnomes- Spirits of the earth. Sylphs- Spirits of air. Salamanders- The spirits of fire. Undines- Spirits of water. Akasha-the element of spirit itself. Calling the Elemental Guardians This is what my friend uses to call the Elemental Guardians when she wants to invite them to the circle. East: I face me to the East and I call Aquila. Mighty Eagle, great prince of the element of Air. Swoop down from thy lofty abode to guard and defend this circle from all perils approaching from the East. Aquila! South: I face me to the South and I call Leonis. Mighty Lion, great prince of the element of Fire. Come forth from the burning wastes of your savannad and desert to guard and defend this circle from all perils approaching from the South. Leonis! West: I face me to the West and I call Ormsilvren. Cunning Serpant, great prince of the element of Water. Rise up from thy scintillating depths to guard and defend this circle from all perils approaching from the West. Ormsilvren! North: I face me to the North and I call Taurus. Mighty Bull, great prince of the element of Earth. Stride forth from thine hills and forests to guard and defend this circle from all perils approaching from the North. Taurus!
