this test is a small fun test on the 5 elements , of course there is air, water, earth, fire and the fifth is______________? and what symbol represents these 5 elements?answer_______________please post your answers, also in spell work air is incense or you can use a abolone shell, water is water, earth can be salt and fire is a lited candle. if you do not know the answers kindly respond that you do not know. or if you have anything to add just post it! kindly no trolling--ok-- this is just for fun.
spirit, the pentacle or pentagram, the pentacle is said to be the 5 elements in the universe, the pentagram is just the 5 elements as they are. Water is also represented by the chalice and and cauldron, earth can be stones, crystals, dirt, sand, or salt, and fire can be not only a candle but incense as well, or you can use a charcoal disk to represent fire as well in a censer.
sweet--your right!! also i was reading the star pentacle sign represents us , or a pesons form, it consists of the 5 elements earth water fire air and spirit and as one it equates into the divine or magical person representation , the circle around the star represents the divine or god -and is a magical representation with the meaning of the magical law :as above so below, and or portrayal of spirit over the physical elements. see this link to understand furthur http://members.shaw.ca/bbogdan/blog_images/wicca/pentacle.htm
I agree with whats has been said above, only that some people do not consider spirit as an element , we ourselves are the spirit within our circle .
The spirit element or(ether) represents the consciousness and soul, spirit doesn,t represent anything of nature as the other four elements do ,fire, water, earth, air. Spirit can not be touched you can only feel and experience the energy from spirit .
It is above and is the connecting point of the other four elements, the center of knowing
The pentacle can also stand for the 5 wounds christ received, and also eosjos, you are correct when stating that it can represent the human body/ condition. Everything is made up of the 5 elements, and the circle can be said to be the divine, or god, w/e, what I usually teach or speak of with the circle is that it's the universe . (i have to say this all the time, it's committed to memory now) The pentacle, as I see it, stands for the 5 elements in the eternal cycle of the universe, always moving forward and never stopping. It's the true representation of the never ending ebbing and flowing of all things. Things that arise, will fall, then their energy reborn again.
Also Ginseng, I have to say that you are correct, not everyone see's spirit as the fifth element. However in stating that not everyone believes that the other four elements are fire, earth, air and water either. A good example is the Chinese culture. Which is Metal, Earth, Wood, Water, and Fire. Everyone is entitled to believe something different. Though maybe I should have posted all this with my original post LOL.
before I forget, I think I should mention the difference between inverted and right side-up pentacles/pentagrams as well. The inverted penta. is matter of spirit, the right side up is spirit over matter. Thought I should put this out there. I get a lot of questions about it.
I try, did a short segment on btr about it too, lol, thought it was kinda just rambling at first, twords the end i did a brief recap and it came it out the way i wanted it, lol
i knew it was the pentagram, but i couldn't remember the fifth element so i guessed shadow lol, i felt a little silly when i remembered it was spirit, oh well, neat.
I personally believe that the elements are: Fire=The Heart & Emotions, Water= The Spirit & Contious, Earth= The Body & Actions and Air=The Mind & Thoughts.
