To the one that I serve

Well I was wanting to do some healing work and as my path has focused a lot on healing, I basically decided to focus on what I considered the healing attributes of the elements to be. I used what I had available to work the rituals.

As for how I structured them, I don't quite remember how I wrote them. I just remember writing what i thought would work and going with that. In hindsight I think they were effective, just not as effective in a way I had originally intended them to be effective.

I've been interested since I was 13. I started studying when I was 13. Since then I have taken time here and there to stop studying my religion or to explore other religions. As a teen I wasn't as devoted as I am now.

I seriously started to seek my path when I turned 19 and learned about the truth regarding Wicca. So I've been curious and dabbling for 11 years, but been a serious student for 5 years.

Yeah. Every year I gain more insight into my path and how I do things. Next year I will learn more about the elements and how they work with magic and ritual. So I'm excited for that. This year I'm mostly focusing on the mental aspects of my path and developing the concentration that one needs for effective spell work and rituals.

Hmm... On the topic of elements something interesting. Depending on your path, with respect to all, as opposed to having one element like most given from your astrological sign I have two. Water and Fire. I haven't even begun to work with the two together I have just been sticking with my main water but recently I feel more of a pull to the other so I may spend some time diving into and working with Fire. Anyone else experience anything similar?


When it comes to elements and astrology it depends on the table you're working with. I'm a Capricorn (Earth) but also a "Fire Tiger". What the latter means I don't rightly know but someone told me years ago that being under an earthy symbol somehow made me more stable or balanced...seomthing like that (hah...).

Any input or corrections are welcome and encouraged!!!

According to astrology I am a water sign, but I've always been connected to fire.

Did you know that we, as individuals, are more likely to attune to some elements and nature spirits over others? Your Zodiac signs (Sun, Moon, and Rising) are one way you can tell. These signs reflect the energies that you will want to discover in this lifetime.
Your first name is a great way of discovering what element you have resonance with. Like your astrological chart, it is an energy signature that reflects the play of certain forces in your life. The vowels in your name reflect the elements you can attune more easily to.

Let's look at the primary vowel first. This reflects the element you will attune with easily and it is the one most strongly pronounced in your name. Here's a spiffy chart taken from Ted Andrews's Enchantment of the Faerie Realm:

Quote:
Fire
-I
-Aries, Leo, and Sagittarious
-Elementals are called Salamanders


Earth
-U
-Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
-Elementals are called Gnomes

Air
-E
-Gemini, Libra, and Capricorn
-Elementals are called Sylphs

Water
-O
-Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces
-Elementals are Undines

Ether/Spirit
-A
-This is the substance from which all elements came forth. It overrides and permeates all signs, creatures, and elemental beings.

But what about Y?
-Y resonates equally with both fire and water



Let's have an example. I'll use my name and part of my astrological chart:
Sofia:
Pronounced So-Fe-A
Strongest vowel is I, which is Fire.
Secondary vowels are O, water and A, Ether
My Sun sign is Sagitarious, fire
My Moon sign is Scorpio, water
My Rising sign is Leo, fire
So I have a strong affinity with water and fire.

so according to that outline I am fire, water, and spirit because I have an a, an I and a Y in my name. Cool. That makes sense to me. My last name has an E which would explain my affinity with air at times. I have been able to call up a breeze when I wanted to as well as stop it when I wanted to. Biologically my last name has a Y and an O. So The only vowel I'm missing is a U :-p

Okay so according to that chart,
Stephanie
Pronounced: ste-pha-nie
Strongest Vowel: E, Air
Secondary Vowels: A, either/spirit; “Eh” (short E), fire
Sun sign: Capricorn, Earth
Moon Sign: Aries, Fire


My name is Greek so it’s a little difficult to pull out three distinct vowels that are correct because it looks like this στεφανεῖα in the original

From what I can tell of it, I’m fairly balanced? (somehow I doubt that). I’d appreciate it if someone could correct me where I may be wrong.

y'know that's somethign i've never thought about. let's see...fire fire definitely seems to be the easiest one for me to connect with followed by wind and water (tied) and then earth...but earth i think i sometimes depends on that state - whether or not it's saturated with water or we're talking about the mossy earthy ness of the forest. And i do include trees and plant life in the earth category. hrm...not sure though.

This chart has Capricorn listed twice and Aquarius not at all???
