The Way of Four: Create Elemental Balance in Your Life

What is the dominant element in your life--Earth, Air, Fire or Water? It matters, says Wiccan high priestess Lipp, because the dominant element affects""how you relate to the elements"" and""your perceptions of the world""--and also has ramifications for work, love and other aspects of daily life. Lipp explores the meaning of the elements and offers easy-to-do quizzes, exercises and rituals to determine your dominant element and create the elemental balance needed for self-actualization. An Air personality, for instance, might have creative ideas, but needs some fire to be able to execute them. In Water people, on the other hand, emotions rule, and they can be""strikingly magical."" Rituals involve chanting, visualization and the use of easy-to-find objects that represent the elements. Lipp also provides simple and practical tips on how to bring the elements into your daily life (adding pillows for Earth; put seashells in a vase for Water, etc.). For those with an interest in Wicca and the influence of nature on people's personalities and lives, Lipp offers a pleasant and positive-toned handbook to achieving balance.
