🔥 The power of the 4 Elements

When we do candle work, it is very common to ask the 4 elements for protection and strength to accompany us during the ritual. Each element has a different energy and meaning beyond its own natural definition, and in addition, we can divide them into masculine and feminine energies. These 4 forces are of great importance in magic, as they possess exceptional wisdom : they control the order and cycle of nature.
