In my last post I talked with you about the Pentagram. I included a picture of the five point star. Each point in the star is an "Element". So what are these elements? There are a few ways to look at elements. In science we have the periodic table filled with elements. In Feng Shui there are elements in a Bagua chart that tell you how to set-up your home in perfect balance and harmony, etc. Either way these elements all have one thing in common. This is a way to connect you to the physical world. This is very important to me because my mind often wonders off causing lots of anxious feelings. It is essential to stay grounded! I could give you the statistics but it's quite widely known that the mental health of todays society is, sadly, not at its best... Learning about elements may not work for everyone but it is something that has worked wonders for me. It is so easy to get caught up in work, school, responsibilities and expectations. Sometimes people around you are literally draining the happy out of you or maybe you're doing it to yourself without even knowing. When was the last time you looked around and really enjoyed your surroundings. Really looked in the mirror and was completely grateful for everything you have or have accomplished? Even if that accomplishment is just getting through a day. It took me hitting absolute rock-bottom to be able to do this. When I had nothing is when I realized how much I appreciated the most basic or simple things. Food on the table. Even if it's only crumbs and I had no idea when I'd have money to get another meal. We all need to appreciate this beautiful earth we call home. Yes, there is bad in the world. But there is also good and though you may have done wrong in the past you can always choose to have a new day / choose the good. These elements are the basis of the craft and you will need to know them well.
