The 5th Elerment

I know that there is some debate over what the 5th element is. Some say that its the Spirit, Energy or electricity. Some people believe that it is one of the classical elements such as Aether or Quintessence. So i was wondering what do you believe is the 5th element?

I'm a huge fan of Greek philosophy, and that includes Aristotle and his ideas. In Aristotle's cosmology, the universe was entirely made up of the four classical elements, and the fifth, most noble element that was not found on Earth was Quintessence. I don't really think it's much of a debate though.

I agree it most likey that the 5th Element would most likey Aether or Quintessence, but some say metal is the 5th
But when using a pentagram most of the time Aether is considered the 5th, but at the end of the day it's what you belave it to be

i believe the 5th element is spirit. though i have a few friends who say it is lightening. but have more who say it is spitir like i do

I have read many articles on this site about elements. Most of the people wrote that 5th element is Spirits. So i also believe that 5th element is spirit. ~Namaste~

For me I follow the chinese elements

Wood

Water

metal

Fire

Earth

I follow the Universal Elements which I've developed myself. They are as follows:

Matter
Energy
Emotion
Knowledge (Truth and Law)
Soul/Spirit (Life)

These five things encompass not just mundane elements, but non-physical elements as well. To put it simply, I find that these elements encompass all things, so I find them more truthful and more effective.

@sinfuldeath can you mail some links about the chinese elements as some of my info isn't accurate as I thought

I think that it's wood.

The 5th element is a wican term, most commonly referred to as spirit symbolizing the caster, human factor
