SECOND ENTRY

Not much on my mind currently except for the rising energy chant that once in a while I end up reciting and as I recite, I feel my body vibrate and hair stand on end.

Earth, Air, Fire, Water
Earth, Air, Fire, Water
Earth, Air, Fire, Water
Earth, Air, Fire, Water

Earth, Earth, Earth, Earth

Earth, Air, Fire, Water
Earth, Air, Fire, Water

Air, Air, Air, Air

Earth, Air, Fire, Water

Water, Water, Water, Water

Earth, Air, Fire, Water
Earth, Air, Fire, Water
Earth, Air, Fire, Water

Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire

I keep on doing this a few times over and I feel myself empowered, my energy rising and my aura spreading. The chant is just something small but if you don't feel the words in the chant and if you don't visualize the effect that you want it to have, then the words, the chant, are meaningless.

We are, after all, made up of the four basic elements and that is most likely why each of the integral elements in the craft are these four. Our bodies, on a molecular level, are carbon-based (Earth), and we require oxygen to be able to live and our organs to function properly (Air). We also require water to circulate our blood and nerve impulses correctly (Water) and we generate body heat just through functioning on a day to day level (Fire).  However, all of these four elements are tied together inside of us and kept in check, kept in balance by the one element that is without form (Spirit). The Pentagram means exactly this and each line of the Pentagram signifies one of the five elements. Four that are found in Nature and the fifth (found in every living thing no matter how great or small) that is the conduit and keeps them in balance.
