Earth Wind Water - giclee print on canvas 60" W x 30" H
Wiccan and European Pagan Magickal belief is based on the four elements...Fire, Air (Wind), Water and Earth.
These four Elements correspond to the four directions of our physical world, the four quarters of the universe, the four winds, and most importantly the four quarters of the magical circle. Fire and Air are considered male energies....Water and Earth female. The four Elements are forces and energies that make up the universe and everything in it. They also possess form as well as force.
My collage piece "Earth, Wind, Water" represents three of the four magical elements.
Earth:
The source and provider of all our needs. Represents sensations, decay, patience, stability, strength, health, warmth and comfort, trees and plants, animals and animal instincts including humans.
Air (wind):
Air represents mental activity, thoughts, reason and intellect, memory, knowledge, persuasion, birth and friendship, freedom, clarification and expression. It is often symbolized by wind, clouds and sky.
Water:
Water imbibes all life forms and in us we flow with the "tide" of our feelings. It involves intuition, insight, conception and pregnancy, fertility, the womb, health, beauty and divination.
