Magick Basics

Element Basics

I wanted to begin with the five elements everyone knows of : fire, air, water, earth, and lastly spirit.

Spirit: is the powers we have inside ourselves and powers outside of ourselves. In simplest terms it means what is in you and in everything around us.

Everyone has certain powers/gifts that they bring with them when they were born and with their lives before. It can be simple to so much more. We just have to remember it's there and "awaken" back up.

But sometimes it does have draw backs if you draw on too much of this energy you can get slightly sick. If you do get sick after a spell or ritual you have not reached that level of magick.

It is beyond dangerous doing a spell that YOU know you can't do. Such as if you are a beginner in magick don't be trying to do a medium to a high level spell. I know from experience.

It takes months to years to perform a high energy spell or medium spell but if you do make this mistake have a crystal or a object with energy near enough you can draw on it energy.

Fire: As all of you most know is that fire represents the flames of a candle but also to our emotions and energy.

When you are doing a spell or "working out" & you feel this won't work or your just plain old tired. The fire within us will get us motivated again, it will shed your doubts and sometimes help us concentrate.

But too much of the fire element can leave us vulnerable by making us angery, irritable, and down right mean. That is why it is good to balance every element so one does not effect you in the wrong way.

Many times when you are connected to the fire element you will be overly emotional or angry to point of a "tantrum" or "fighting". People who are connected to fire need to meditate once to four times a month/week. Depending how strong your connection is.

As you begin to figure out your element remember each element has certain exercises you can do to strengthen it and to calm it if needed.

Earth: is a simple element to understand. It is the ground we stand on and life itself.

Many times when we think of earth we picture dirt or a small plant.

But what we don't think about is the environment we see everyday, from the trees in our front yards to the loud barking dogs (I love animals but I don't like barking XD).

When you are connected to earth you feel compassionate about everyone and everything.

If someone cries you want to be the one to comfort them and if you see a stray animal you want to take them home or find one for them.

Most people don't know about earth connected people but they are relatively strong since their magick and gifts can't be "cut off" or"taken" since they always surrounded by their element of power.

But there is a set back for earth connected people is that they are vulnerable because they are easy to trust others. Which makes them easy to be gullible to dangers.

Earth connected people should be wise on who they trust and keep alert with their surroundings.

What I find amazing is earth connected people if they take time every once in a while to meditate outside or hang somewhere outside. They can begin to feel the connection around them from the trees energy to the animals around them.
