Element Out of Control

"May the wind carry her spirit gently. May the fire release her soul.

May the water cleanse her. May the earth receive her."

Starhawk

There are four symbolic elements: earth, air, fire and water. The earth represents the ability to be grounded by nature and the sense of safety. The air is about our thoughts and clarity. Fire is about ego and transformation. Water is symbolic of the subconscious flow and healing. All symbols can be experienced individually or in random combinations.

These four elements do not have control over us unless we allow it to happen. When we remember that there is always choice, life can be regulated more to our liking. Each element can bring us a message baring valuable insight assisting with transformation. but aught not have absolute control.

When we allow watery emotions to dominate, they will put out our fires. Conversely, if we allow angry fire to blaze, it will burn us to the ground. Balance is maintained by placing our feet upon the earth and gently walking into the wind. If we feel at risk, discover which element is out of control and adjust accordingly.
