In ancient times, considerable note was made of understanding the elements, for these were considered the building bricks of the Universe, and hence many believed that these were also part of the basic structure of themselves.

The Wise Beings of those times saw themselves as a reection of the universe. They studied the stars and nature, and used the information they gleened, as a method of understanding their Creator and themselves.

All of us now live amongst nature, even those in towns and cities, and most of us are quietened by walking in the countryside or along the seashore.

Few of us take the time to really study it, yet if we care to follow these ancient beliefs, we may and that nature itself holds the key to much inner knowledge of our own nature, and the part we play in the great

Cosmic Plan.

Earth is stability. It is all things that bring nourishment, fullness, and fertility. It is our basic need and our basic-ness. Earth is the ground beneath our feet, the foundation on which we build our life.

Fire is desire. It is enthusiastic, warming, and the spark of life. It is passionate, emotional, untamed, the most powerful of energy forces, for it represents the force of the Spirit. It is a ame that ickers, or a blaze that destroys.. It glows in the Sun. It dances in the hearth, attracts the eye, and desire. It colours the blood. It is the pulse of our being.

Air is thought. It is movement, contact, communication, and the stirrings of the mind. It is the exibility of action - the quick, alert, sparkling and new. It reaches out and upward, down and inwards. It is buoyant,bending, yielding to the mood, yet strong and persistent.
