Wiccan only: Four elements

[PoetPhilosopher]

Question and poll for Wiccans:

Do you incorporate ideas about the four elements into your faith and practice?

I said not much.

First, while I recognize the Five elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit), I see them more as states of matter (that is, solid, gas, plasma, liquid, with the addition of a not clearly defined spirit element). EAFW relate to the experience of living this life, and are not necessarily fundamental to the existence of the cosmos, but in that way find a place in my beliefs and practice.

Similarly, the Six Directions--North, East, South, West, Sky/Up and Earth/Down have a place, centering my practice within the cosmos, but in relation to my experience of the cosmos...it's just a recognition of the three-dimensional nature of the world we experience.

Yes. I personally believe that the elements are what make up this planet, and the universe, really. I call on them when I cast a magical circle. I honor them through offerings.

Wicca incorporates the five Classical elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Aether/Spirit. A common example would be circle casting to create sacred space.
