The Elements

Each one of nature's elements is necessary for life, they possess both positive and negative properties, for example, if The Earth were to be without Water, Fire, and Air it would be a baron wasteland void of life. They work in harmony, although their contrary aspects may seem in conflict at times, to create and sustain life. The elements exist in a physical form, such as a handful of soil, and in an unmanifested, non-physical form or energy. All the elements emerge from Akasha, the source of all energy. Each of the elements is associated with traits and meanings, as well as with directions on the compass.
