The Elements

With this section, you will learn which elements are dominant in your soul and which are lacking. To properly invoke, direct, and control the elements, you should be balanced in all of the elements. Most of us have imbalances. These can usually be seen in our astrology charts. Part One will deal with the characteristics of each of the elements that manifest in human beings. As we progress, I will post articles concerning the different aspects of elemental magick and how to use the elements in workings. Please study everything in this spiritual warfare section. Those of us who progress and continue on will be working some extremely advanced magick. I will post these on the JoS group about a week before they are scheduled. We will hit the enemy especially hard at the right time as a group and coordinate our efforts.

You must be honest with yourself and know yourself. Below are attributes of each of the elements in their pure form. Very few of us are imbalanced with just one element; usually there are two that are dominant. Look to the elements where most of the characteristics describe you. By balancing your elements, you will find healing physically, psychologically, at the soul level and mentally.

Individuals lacking an element tend to express the characteristics of that element in a different way.

Fire is opposite Water and Air is opposite Earth. The opposite element is what is needed to fix the imbalance. It is important to be aware that invoking the lacking element can create a temporary backlash in the over-dominant element.

Fire

People who are dominant in fire are self-centered, confident, enthusiastic, expressive, bold, subjective, expansive, out-going, extroverted, insensitivity to others, impulsive, impatient, creative, vain, extravagant, reckless, passionate, self-important, exhibitionist, courageous, adventuresome.

People who have pronounced fire often burn themselves out. They are often over-active, restless, and over concerned with making something happen in the world. There are often problems in dealing with others; they can be very insensitive and crude in their approach. Fire people are prone to inflammation, high blood pressure and can be labeled as "hot headed" as they normally have short tempers. Without the element of earth, people who are dominant in fire can lack staying power.

People who are lacking in fire are usually low in energy, lack self-esteem, and self-confidence. There is a lack of spiritedness, lack of enthusiasm, aversion to challenges; there is apathy toward living, major problems take a long time to overcome with lingering psychological scars.

Fire alleviates mental depression and brings a love of life. Fire is the creative principle, the spark of life. Fire rules competition, athletics, action, courage, self-confidence, charisma, and pyrokinesis. Invoking and directing fire is the advanced aspect of pyrokinesis.

Earth

People who are dominant in earth are sensual, materialistic, practical, and they hate anything that is unplanned. Earth gives patience, self-discipline, makes one dependable, reliable, and conventional. Earth people like tradition, and security is extremely important to them, they are cautious, deliberate, slow in forming opinions, and can be slow in everything they do. They are reserved, but they have exceptional endurance. They are practical, grounded, and level-headed. They are hard working, they dislike change and can be stuck in a routine for years without ever getting bored. They have a hard time adjusting to new situations and changes.

People who are lacking in earth are not attuned to the material/physical world, they are spaced-out, impractical, they can neglect their bodies, they are flighty, lack self-discipline, are ungrounded, often feel out of place, and have over-active imaginations. These people can forget to eat, rest, exercise and so forth. They have trouble with routine, endurance, scheduling and organizing their lives. A lack of earth brings a lack of stability along with an inability to finish things. Here today and gone tomorrow. These people can overspend their money foolishly or gamble it away. They are irresponsible and live only for today.

Earth is the material principle.

NOTE: Those who lack an element often express the character traits of the element in a different way than those who have the element. Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler worked extremely hard and was reliable and consistent. His lack of earth manifested in his idealism. He spent most of his life working very hard. He was very patient and self-disciplined.

Air

People with the element of air prominent have the ability to be objective and detached, and unemotional. They are intellectual; enjoy spontaneity, easily bored, very talkative and communicative. Air is the most social of the elements. Air people are usually quick in their movements and speedy. They can be very impractical. Air lacks feeling and emotion. Air is pure intellect. Air people can adapt and adjust to situations easily. They can have an over-active mind, live in their head, and be Jack-Of-All-Trades, and master of none. Air lacks depth. The sayings "up in the air" "air headed", "cool headed" are relevant to air. An imbalance of too much air creates a lack of planning, makes one scatterbrained, nervousness, high-strung, and causes nervous exhaustion.

A lack of air makes one have a hard time detaching as the tendency is to become too emotionally involved. People who lack air can find themselves too involved with others. They can be overly emotional, have violent reactions, lash out, and have a very difficult time with being objective. They can have a hard time adjusting to new situations. The emotions often dominate in one who is lacking the air element. They can become obsessed. Air is the communicative, intellectual principle.

NOTE: I've observed some of the above traits in regards to a lack of air, but I have also found that a lack of an element can manifest with one expressing the element in an entirely different way. Helen Keller, both blind and deaf from her early childhood [this is how the lack of air manifested in her chart, along with her chart ruler being at 15 degrees of Leo, a degree that can cause blindness and/or deafness]; she spent her entire life communicating. She authored several books and gave numerous speeches in spite of her handicaps.

Water

People who have dominant water are too in touch with feelings and emotions. They are psychic, and notice things others don’t see, such as subtle nuances. Too much water creates irrational fears, compulsive desires, oversensitivity, feelings of being threatened. These people are very easily hurt and offended, they are impressionable and their emotions can dominate them. Water is intuitive, over-reactive, fearful, timid, gives feelings of inner emptiness, and incites extremes of behavior. Water is compassionate, loyal, devoted, and sympathetic. Water is the emotional principle.

NOTE: People who lack an element usually express the element in a different way from those who have the element. Those who lack water can actually be quite emotional. Adolf Hitler lacked water, but was very emotional. This could be seen in his speeches. Those of us who have met him on the astral know he is caring and responsible to the extreme. In spite of the endless lies told about him, he was one of the finest humanitarians who ever lived and he also loved animals and put laws for animal rights into effect in Nazi Germany.
