Fire, Air, Earth and Water
Working with Elementals
The base of all existence, those building blocks we are made from and of are the elementals. The ancients considered there to be four types of elementals fire, earth, air, and water. The Eastern traditions add metal and wood to these base elements.
Elements do not speak in traditional languages or forms; elements are the base of existence, the building blocks of everything that exists. Elements are focused upon that substance or area which is the elements form or state of being.
Other examples of the attributes of the elements are:
Earth = stable, mass, rooted, and stationary.
Fire = consuming, passion, motivation.
Air = thought, communication, ideas, awareness
Water = emotion, love, compassion
Wood = Stability with some adaptability, growth, subject to change
Metal = Strength, endurance, test of time
EARTH ELEMENT:
Earth element is stable, mass, rooted, and stationary. It teaches us how to add more stability, strength, and longevity in our lives. But since earth element is a base being earth can also bring about negative attributes to its condition of being. Too much stability can bring about laziness and gluttony, negative attributes.
Positive aspect of the element of earth includes how it nurtures us, cares for us, and provides us with our needs. Working with the element of earth is strongly associated with agriculture and horticulture. Strong physical labor is enhanced by the element of earth, picture Atlas carrying the world on his shoulder - that is the essence of this aspect of earth. Also under the realm of elemental earth is strongly associated to the world of animal life, just likes it does for mankind earth nurtures and cares for all life. Physical sensations, the cycles of life and death, patience, steadiness, and well-being are traits all taught by the element of earth.

Offerings to the earth will provide good health and long life.
Methods of connecting with earth elements include bear feet on the earth. Physically touching the earth provides a bond that will allow the earth element convey its strength and wisdom to you. Meditation is shorts while sitting allowing your legs and feet to touch the ground are advised.
FIRE:
Fire is a very fast acting and sometime consuming element. Fire element's nature is to change the structure of whatever it touches into new state of being. With the element of fire one must take precautions when working with its very nature. A running hose, or bucket of water, even a fire extinguisher is not to much. If small fires, embers, or hot mishaps seem to happen around you a lot, the element is trying to speak to you, it may be time to listen.
Positive aspects of the element of fire include passion, lust, sexual frenzy, and virility. The quote "lighting a fire under your butt" deals with how fire initiates action, provides motivation, and drives the individual for completion. People that embrace the element of fire are often very driven and fast acting. High in passion and well endowed with courage is the element of fire. Fire is at the very heart of transform, clearing the old and making something new, much like the story of the Phoenix.
Negative aspects of the element of fire can include stress, nervous, and tension. Anger and sometimes the result of physical violence can be attributed to too much fire. The element of fire can create a synergy of burning out if it is relied on too much; balance is required to pace the element and its traits.

Methods of connecting to the fire element include fire scrying. Never ever try to touch fire, and take all necessary precautions when working with fire, its nature is to consume, that is what it does. When fire scrying be sure that the fire is enclosed and can not spread, and you are in a position that if you fall over, fall asleep, or become hypnotic you do NOT fall into the fire, again it will consume. Candle gazing is another probably safer and controlled method of fire magick.
AIR:
The element of air represents the realm of thought and imagination. Air elements provide the very process by which we think, rationalize, and hold our memories. The air element can aid our ability to express ourselves and enable the clarification of the process. When making decisions utilize air to provide focus and reason.

Think of it this way, in space there is no sound because there is no air to vibrate the waves, air is fundamental in voice magicks. Reciting a poem, spell, or chant adds to the element of air reinforcing the magick being utilized. Visualization is another method of reinforcing magickal spell weaving, and even the elements of goals completion of day-to-day life.

WATER:

With a balance of water life's journey flows natural and content.

It is said that problems writing on a willow leaf and set adrift upon the water will cleanse the situation and take the problem away. Water magicks work well with issues that deal with emotions like love, hate, and happiness, even fear.
Methods of connecting to the element of water include ritual baths, standing in the rain, and sitting with your bear feet in a lazy stream. Water cleanses and visualize it flowing over your as you seek to understand the element of water.
Elementals are neither good or evil, they are singular in perspective. They work with what they are and only that. They have not progressed or transgressed to emotion or feeling or even thought for that matter.
Care must be taken when working with the elementals. Fire can burn literally. When the elements come to you take what they have and move on, their perspectives can skew our thoughts and lest we become singular like them, care is very much advised.
Most often they come lucid dreams, meditation, astral travel, and some times physical. If every time you turn around and you see fire, things burning, it may be they are trying to contact in order to teach you something.
