Working with your Element

I have been getting a lot of mail lately with students and members asking me how to control the elements, or that their emotions are tied to when the weather acts crazy. I'm here as your priestess to open your eyes up. I will be blunt, and to the point. Do not get mad at what I tell you. Take it in and learn from it. Any such nonsense that follows and your comments will be deleted.

Thank you.

Step 1. Knowing your Element and you

The first step is knowing your element. Finding out what it is isn't that hard to do though you should be aware that no person can truly be connected to one specific element. Its more about a draw to that element and what you perceive it as. It's about which one you feel closest too. It's not your zodiac sign though many end up being close to their predestined element. I'm a Scorpio so mine should be water but its Earth. Meditation and spending time with your element are important. It creates a bond with you two. I will use my element since I know it best. With Earth, I spend a lot of time outside. Sitting in the grass, or just outside period. It lets Earth know that I care about her, that she is my element and I am her person. Get it? Good.

Step 2. Using your Element

Okay, here comes the fun part. You ready?

You can't control the weather. I don't care how many times you swear up and dead to your great grannies dead grave, you can't. Having an element is more so on the spiritual and emotional plains. Your element isn't there for you to make it rain when you want to, or snow, or make trees grow. It's there for support, to help guide you into a better life and bring you positive energy. It is not a tool to bring you whatever bloody weather you want that day.

Step 3. Thanking your Element

As a practitioner, you are responsible for doing the right thing, whatever you deem that be. But thanking your element should always be a priority. Your element, when connected, is important to you, and you appreciate those important things in your life, yes? You'd better. Simply do something you know your element will love, as a thank you. Earth loves it when I keep her trimmed and looking nice. So I cut the grass every Wednesday and Saturday. Trim the bushes, she loves it. That's my thank you to her for bringing me love and light everyday.

Now mind you, I didn't go into detail with this so its very short and straightforward. I hope this has helped any of you with questions, and any further questions you have you can comment with them, or my inbox is always open. Thank you for your time.

Your Priestess,

Ash
