"The symbolism of the Goddess is not a parallel structure to the symbolism of God the Father. The Goddess does not rule the world. She is the world. Manifest in each of us, She can be known internally by every indivdual, in all her magnificent diversity." ~ Starhawk
My collage piece "Earth, Wind, Water" represents three of the four spiritual elements.
Earth:
The source and provider of all our needs. Represents sensations, decay, patience, stability, strength, health, warmth and comfort, trees and plants, animals and animal instincts including humans.
Air (wind):
Air represents mental activity, thoughts, reason and intellect, memory, knowledge, persuasion, birth and friendship, freedom, clarification and expression. It is often symbolized by wind, clouds and sky.
Water:
Water imbibes all life forms and in us we flow with the "tide" of our feelings. It involves intuition, insight, conception and pregnancy, fertility, the womb, health, beauty and divination.
Earth Wind Water - was created from photography taken in Colorado and Michigan.
Many old European Pagan beliefs are based on the four elements...Earth, Air, Fire and Water. These four Elements correspond to the four directions of our physical world, the four quarters of the universe, the four winds, and most importantly the four quarters of a magical circle. Fire and Air are generally considered male energies....Water and Earth female. In this belief system, the Elements are energy forces that make up the universe and everything in it.
