The deeper I dive into my spiritual roots, the clearer it becomes that building a meaningful practice combines historical facts, inference, oral traditions passed down, and personal experience. This is especially true when you’re reconstructing a spiritual path that’s not clearly recorded, was attempted to be eradicated, or if you hold multiple cultural heritages (like many of us do!). That said, I always research with an understanding that this history is rarely the whole picture, but rather one piece. I think it’s an essential part of having a complete view of different spiritual practices. Listen to this post on my podcast, Rooting into Wholeness here.Ī brief view of history and the four elementsĪs usual, I do like to cover some history. Much of this share will be dedicated to the four elements as I see them as slightly separate from Spirit and very foundational. However, I will save a deeper dive into the fifth element of Spirit for a post of its own. I want to quickly touch on the element of Spirit because I’m sure some of you may be wondering if I’ll discuss it as well! I will touch on the fifth element, often referred to as Spirit, aether, or Akasha, especially in the history section. In this post, you’ll learn a bit about the history of the four elements, common correspondences for them, how to work with them physically and energetically, calling them in for protection, and using them in your home or on your altar. There are countless ways to deepen your relationship with the four elements and bring them into your practice. If you don’t already work with the four elements in your practice, you’ve likely heard of them because they’re rather tricky to avoid as so many spiritual practices refer to them in some way. The four elements, earth, air, fire, and water, are physical materials and energies that comprise the world around us.
