A long time ago, people divided the world into elements: earth, air, fire, and water. These elements are found everywhere in Nature and harbor special qualities and magickal powers. The fifth element, Akasha, is the divine element of Spirit. This is the element that connects everything together as the Spirit is present everywhere and in everything. Each element represents a different cardinal point or direction and different magickal correspondences, as listed below.
Earth (North/feminine): money, acquisition, employment, health, diet, organization, ambition, career, bones, teeth, skin, fertility, healing.Wiccans wear a pentacle, a five pointed star surrounded in a circle, to represent the five elements. Every wiccan works a great deal with the elements. They have representations of them on altars, shrines, and in their sacred space. The energies of the elements are called in ritual magick to aid witches in their workings.Air (East/masculine): mental powers, communication, writing, travel, justice, unions, balance, artistry, science, visions, physic powers, wisdom.
Fire (South/masculine): authority, rebirth, leadership, courage, fertility, heart, travel, sports, truth, passion, strength, protection, health.
Water (West/feminine) : intuition, love, meditation, healing, friendships, fidelity, home, power, sex, music, art, telepathy, prophetic dreams, honoring lunar gods, and goddesses.
Akasha (Center): Spirit combined from all other elements into one divine element. This is the power within you.

Everything
in Nature whether it be pool, rock, comet, flower, lake, weed, stream,
or mountain contains vibrations which meld into one collective unconscious.
These collective energies, or elemental spirits, are known as Gnomes (earth),
Sylphs (air), Salamanders (fire), and Undines (water).
