This week I would like to explain to you to four elements of magic as they are essential to all magic spells.
The four elements of magic is crucial to understanding the various spells and entire esoteric culture surrounding magic. These main elements include Earth, water, fire and air. Since most magic comes from some sort of paganism, it is no wonder that these elements weigh in heavily in magic due to their naturalistic powers. These elements of magic are what makes the world go round and are the reason which all matter exists. Sometimes in Wicca there is a fifth element which is the spirit.
Earth
The Earth element of magic is used frequently in love spells and fertility spells since the Earth is inextricably linked to femininity. Other characteristics of the Earth include solidarity, stability, strength and endurance. Any type of spell that is associated with these characteristics will normally deal with Earth elements of magic.
Water
Water is the source that sustains all life making it an extremely important element in magic. Water usually deals with spells that has to do with healing, purifying and cleansing since water can wash away all evil that the body and mind suffer from.
Fire
As earth and water are feminine elements of magic, fire is the masculine counterpart. Fire has the ability to create and destroy, cure and harm. Spells that have to do with becoming a stronger person, walking away from relationships and ending what were once strong ties or connections will usually have some sort of fire element of magic used in the ceremony.
Air
The last element of magic is air. This spiritual element is related to life through the soul and the breath. Without air, there is no life. Any type of spell work that deals with the power of the mind, soul seeking, communication, troubles, negative thoughts or wisdom will have air associated in the ceremony.

Very interesting Marlene, thanks for sharing.
Must all spells include the four elements?
No, not all spells include the four elements, but in Wicca they always do.
I had the same question, thanks for clarifying Trina.
Thanks Trina, I like your blog because it is so interesting to learn more about magick. I am a greenhorn when it comes to all of this and the more I read about it the more it fascinates me.
