Air


Air is one of the natural elements found in many different theories about creation, especially astrology,
but is important in most philosophies and spiritual practices throughout the world.

The quality of air - light, intangible and changeable - leads to its association with the way the mind works, as well as spiritual matters.

In Western astrology, Air symbolises our ability to communicate and our mental and intellectual abilities, and there are three signs are associated with this element: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

In Paganism, an air elemental is a spirit that can be summoned in order to energise a magical spell.

Air is also an element in the Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda. It is called rayu and is again associated with thought, breath, flow and movement.
