The Water Element
Without the water element there would be no life. As one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind, water keeps all things on Earth healthy and sustained. Water can be the fresh drinking type, as such that can be found in lakes, streams and ponds, or it can be salty as is the seas that cover the world, which support the multitudes of water creatures that exist on our planet. It comes in many forms, ice is frozen water and snow is crystallized water. The human body is made of fifty to sixty percent water and we need ample amounts of it to be physically fit and vital. Water is mutable, constantly moving and represents the life force; it can be as clam and still as a tranquil pond or powerful and awe inspiring as the great and powerful oceans.
The water element possesses many excellent virtues including the following: The ability to change and reinvent oneself, diplomacy, intuition, energy, power, cleansing, creativity, prosperity, force of character, serenity, tranquility, honesty and wisdom. Some magickal uses include: Cleansing, shielding, healing, changing, removing harmful hexes and curses and as an aid in the creation of spells.
Water is said to represent the sub-conscious mind and this element is responsible for prophetic and enlightened dreams and helping one to understand their own deepest desires. Those who posses the power of the water element will exude traits of sensitivity to the world around them, the strength of the feminine, the ability to fluidly adapt to any situation and a knack of drawing people to them. It will also help in the desire to cleanse oneself of pain, anger and resentment.
The water element has been used for centuries as an aid in magical and mystical healing and powerful spells. When welding the power of water one must be careful to not abuse its great influence; as one shows respect to the mighty pull of the ocean, it is important to honor the water element in magical use. Always keep in mind that water is very changeable and forceful, and is apt to become dangerous if not given the respect it deserves. However, for those who understand its magnificent abilities this element becomes a great tool for expanding the life force and making changes for the better.
