Lord Ares, King of Courage and Strength of Heart

Just a daily offering and devotional act to him, as he's been there to help me so much, especially of late. He's yelled at me when I needed it, even through other people, and he never stops hunting me down when he knows I desperately need to be grabbed by the shoulders and shaken.

Thank you, Ares 🙏 ⚔️

Elemental Work

A little blurb I thought I'd write on the way I see the elements in my practice, as they are very important all throughout in my practice and my clairsenses.

First, while some use five elements, Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Spirit (Also called Space, Void, or Soul, but I use Spirit), I use the primary four, with Spirit being what is already within us as living beings. I will explain more about the element of Spirit at the end.

Fire

Direction: East

Colors: Red, orange, yellow, white, pink

Feeling: Strength, Fury, Passion, Energy, Excitement, Struggle

Planets: Sun, Mars, Venus

Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Cards: (Playing cards) Spades, (Tarot) Swords

Arcana: The Chariot, The Sun, Strength, The Tower

Short summary: Fire exudes raw energy, unlike someone that might be more Earth-aligned, which can give off power as well, that power is usually more controlled and sensible. Fire shows the start of a struggle or challenge, or it's a focus on being blunt and upfront, or heading straight into something.

Water

Direction: West

Colors: Blue, light-blue, teal, sea-green, turquoise

Feeling: Emotional & Spiritual sensitivity, Love, Care, Bonds & Relationships, Turbulence & Balance

Planets: Moon, Neptune, Venus

Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Cards: (Playing cards) Hearts, (Tarot) Cups

Arcana: The Lovers, The Moon, Death, High Priestess

Short summary: Water like the sea, holds the push and pull of emotion, and connects with the moon, to help us connect spiritually to our higher selves, or the divine. With all this in mind, it's often tied to representations of emotion and mentality as well as love, sensitivity, and relationships.

Earth

Direction: South

Colors: Brown, black, green, metals

Feeling: Grounded, Secure, Healing, Growth, Power, Wealth

Planets: Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto

Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Cards: (Playing cards) Diamonds, (Tarot) Pentacles

Arcana: Temperance, Justice, The Devil, The Emperor, The Empress

Short summary: Powerful and steady, Earth is always in control and secure of itself, or stubborn and of the material world. Because of its ties to the material and security, healing and personal growth is the usual feeling surrounding it, as well as a focus on wealth and gain.

Air

Direction: North

Colors: White, grey, light-blue

Feeling: Freedom, Imagination, Creativity, Communication, Balance

Planets: Mercury, Uranus, Jupiter

Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Cards: (Playing cards) Clubs, (Tarot) Wands

Arcana: The Star, The Wheel, The Magician, The Fool

Short summary: Free and loose, Air strives for freedom and imagination, often being found where one's creativity and freewill prevail. It can be fickle, but necessary for a flourishing and healthy life, as its energy exists as the most free and open-ended of all elements, while still interested in the ideal balance of wisdom, knowledge and the road to enlightenment.

Spirit

Direction: The Void, the Inner self

Feeling: Life, Spiritual Enlightenment, Spiritual Energy

Arcana: The World, Judgement

Short summary: Now, this is a special situation. I believe that while the four elements can be around most things, the fifth and final element is within all spirits (living, dead, or divine) or things that any spirit has charged or left imprinted with their energy. Whether that be nature spirits, regular humans, deities, etc., the Spirit element isn't as commonly found in all things. This element comes from within us as the spiritual energy flowing through any being and represents spiritual enlightenment and life as well as the absence of such.

Note: The planets placed here are not in the context of their traditional astrological signs, this is based on UPG (Unverified Personal Gnosis), and to give a different perspective. The way I see it, the planets are fluid in meaning and domain. This depends on the context of the intention towards dealing with the planets and their meanings. Aside from that, people have their own meanings and feelings for the elements, this plays into the difference in interpretation as well.

Note (2): The Major Arcana given, although not all are listed, this is strictly a personal interpretation, and you're free to comment or give opinions, but understand that this is simply my interpretation and I also do not specialize well with tarot.

This will definitely change with time, and feel free to comment your own opinions, UPG, interpretations, or questions!
