The Elements by Elder Miz (with exception of graphics)
The Elements of Witchcraft are thought to be the very essence of all that exists. They are thought to be the foundations of creation and the basis of life itself. The majority of witching faiths will agree on this importance of the elements, even if their pentacles and/or names differ. Traditional Elements in Witchcraft Earth, Air, Fire, and Water are the compass points and the wheel of the pentacle to produce and keep magic. The addition of the "spirit" element is thought to be added to keep the pentacle and magic "good", however it can also represent "balance" of both light and darkness and the most needed addition to represent life itself, as preferred in WMC. Each Element relates to specific matters and witches themselves may fall within them as categories. There are also branches of magic and spellcrafting for each element, such as, Witches who deal only in Earth Magic are sometimes classified as "Earth Witches", "Green Witches", "North Witches", and so on. Below you can find more information on each element itself, and from there take in your own understanding and classifications if desired.The Elements order of the Pentacle seems to differ from person to person and not neccesarily by faith. WMC suggests the following, especially for beginners, until you develop your own comforts.
