I started learning about water. Water have mind. You must understand water because you drinks water, you use water all living things needs water. You must love water. Water is most of this planet. Water created most of this planet living things. You was microorganism in ocean then you evolved into other things. Water can be solid, gas. People know only 5% of the ocean. Your bodily 2/3 is the water. You must understand water. Nature doesn't need people. People need nature. Love water
I have often associated elemental water with the realm of emotion. Shallow waters, and likewise shallow minds, can be greatly disturbed by the smallest of things. Meanwhile deep waters (and minds) can pursue great whales of thought while causing hardly a ripple.
Likewise, as with emotions water can be calm and smooth on the surface, but a tempest of motion beneath the surface. Or, conversely, the surface can be covered in great white waves but be calm-flowing beneath.
There is a reason that sailors of the past called the ocean fickle and devious. Like with one's emotions what you see on the surface rarely matches what is going on underneath. Especially if a person is experienced and Self-aware. What you feel becomes a tool of awareness and learning through reflection. What you express also becomes a method of either capturing or avoiding attention and is, in the right hands, a powerful tool for communication and teaching.
Water is a strong element, it is said to be related to the second charka, it can help us soothe our mind and spirit I find the water spirit linked to emotion and intuition, we would not be able to live without it
Water magic is a strong and often utilized part of magical practice. From ritual baths to washes used to cleanse and protect for jinx removal and good luck, to waters used in rituals such as rose water, warwater, rain water, pyramid water, or basil water. Water is one of the four earthly elements as well as one of the five spiritual elements. It is a force to be reckoned with during a storm with rising waters, but also a source of enjoyment for so many. It is a necessity forlife but mayalso destroy it just as easily in large quantities. I find water to be quite healing and natural moving water to be very cleansing.
There are some good references on water magic out there. Below are links to some further reading material;
