The Elements
The Elements and associations with them vary from path to path though the most commonly recognized are: Earth, Fire, Air, Water and the one that can not and should not be forgotten Spirit.
"The elements are associated with the cardinal points of the magick circle and with a hierarchy of spirits; lower-beings called elementals who in turn are governed by higher beings, devas, called the Lords of the Watchtowers, the Mighty Ones and the Guardians." By: Lady Arbela
